15-18Select the correct answer option based on the passage.

The unique Iron Age Experimental Centre at Lejre, about 40km west of Copenhagen, serves as a museum, a classroom and a
place to get away from it all. How did people live during the Iron Age? How did they support themselves? What did they eat and
how did they cultivate the land? These and a myriad of other questions prodded the pioneers of the Lejre experiment.
Living in the open and working 10hours a day, volunteers from all over Scandinavia led by 30 experts, built the first village in
the ancient encampment in a matter of months. The house walls were of clay, the roofs of hay all based on original designs.
Then came the second stage getting back to the basics of living. Families were invited to stay in the prehistoric village for a
week or two at a time and rough it Iron Age-Style.
Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for modern Danes accustomed to central heating, but it convinced the centre that
there was something to the Lejre project. Little by Little, the modern iron Agers learnt that their huts were, after all, habitable.
The problems were numerous- smoke belching out from the rough-and-ready fireplaces into the rooms and so on. These
problems, however have led to some discoveries. Domed smoke ovens made of clay, for example, give out more heat and
consume less fuel than an open fire, and when correctly stoked, they are practically smokeless.
By contacting other museums, the Lejre team has been able to reconstruct ancient weaving looms and pottery kilns. Iron Age
dyeing techniques, using local natural vegetation, have also been revived, as have ancient baking and cooking methods.
15. What is the main purpose of building the Iron Age experimental center?
1. Prehistoric village where people can stay for a week or two to get away from modern living
2. Replicate the iron Age to get a better understanding of the time and people of that era
3. To discover the differences between a doomed smoke oven and an open fire to identity the more efficient of the two
4. Revive activities of ancient women such as weaving, pottery, dyeing, cooking and baking.
16. From the passage what can be inferred to be the centres initial outlook towards the Lejre project?
1. It initiated the project
2. It eagerly supported it
3. It felt the project was very unique
4. It was apprehensive about it
17. What is the meaning of the sentence Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for modern Danes accustomed to central
heating, but it convinced the centre that there was something to the Lejre project.?
1. Even though staying in the huts was not easy for the modern people, the centre saw merit in the simple living within huts
compared to expensive apartments
2. Staying in the huts was quite easy for the modern people and the centre also saw merit in the sample living within huts
compared to expensive apartments.
3. The way of living of the Iron Age proved difficult for the people of the modern age who are used to living in luxury
4. The way of living of the Iron Age proved very easy for the people of the modern age since it was hot inside the huts, and they
were anyway used to heated rooms.
18. What can be the title of the passage?
1. Modern techniques find their way into pre-historic villages
2. Co-existence of ancient and modern times
3. Glad to be living in the 21st century
4. Turning back time
Directions (19-21)Choosethe correct answer option based on the passage.

leave it

Anjali could not begin to fathom what she was hearing.
Event the contractor appeared flabbergasted. His mouth stayed in a half-open position, like a guitar waiting for its strings to be
tugged.
Yes. Leave it,Varun said again. He was speaking to the notion that someone in the room had asked him to clarify his words.
What were the chances that an Indian burial ground would be found on the bucolic site where Varun and Anjali had chosen to
build their dream home? Why in the world would Varun not want to have the remains carted away, thought Anjali. The last thing
they needed were Indian poltergeists meandering around their home while the two of them were trying to renovate their marriage.
Anjali, usually deferential to her husband, knew that now was the time to make her position heard.
She tried to cajole Varun from the direction he was heading, Sweetheart, we dont want to build on a site with human remains, it
would be irreverent to the dead.
Immediately, she saw contempt in Varuns eyes; it was a subtle reminder of how he often viewed her as superficial and selfabsorbed.
What would be irreverent, said Varun, his voice dripping with condescension, Would be to desecrate these native graves and
move them from their final resting place. Remember the culture.
No, Anjali did not remember the culture. She could care less about the culture. However, Varun, the history professor, was
obviously enthralled by the contractors findings. He had an innate way of understanding other cultures and other people that
amazed Anjali. He did not have that gift with her.
But something inside Anjali said this was too much. She believed wholeheartedly in ghosts and could not imagine a life of them
haunting her, rattling her cupboards, and shaking her floorboards.
Anjali had unnerving sensations that big problems were ahead.
19. Why cant Anjali fathom what her husband says at the beginning of the passage?
1. She could not hear what he said
2. She could not believe what he said
3. She had not yet seen the remains
4. She could not think of a retort to his comment
20. She tried to cajole Varun from the direction he was heading choose the best way to rewrite the above sentence.
1. She tried to compromise with Varun
2. She tried to force Varun from the direction he was heading
3. She tried to gently prod Varun from the direction he was heading
4. She tried to give Varun veiled threats about the direction he was heading
21. What is the term given to the comparison of the contractor to a guitar?
1. An allusion, meaning a figure of speech making casual reference to a literary figure
2. An analogy, meaning an extended comparison showing the similarities between two things
3. A denotation, meaning the literal definition of a word

Directions (12-16) Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.

Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. Every time I go to Coney Island, Navy Pier, or
the Santa Monica Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel is simple and yet also quite complex. That is, riding it is easy, but how it works is complicated. A series of carts
are attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates vertically around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright.
As simple as the ride seems, only advanced engineers can make safe and fun Ferris wheels.
The fact of being high in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. Nevertheless, I have to admit, I dont seek
Ferris wheels out because of their excitement. Rather, I find them very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris wheel, you get beautiful
sights of the park. You also get a sense of calm that you dont get in the hustle and bustle of the park below.
Additionally, Ferris wheels are also gorgeous to look at when they are lit up at night. In fact, the original Ferris wheel was
designed as much to be seen as to be ridden.
The first Ferris wheel was made by and named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He designed it for the Chicago Worlds
Fair in 1893. It was the tallest attraction there, standing 264 feet high.
However, visitors to the fair were impressed by the size of the ride as well as the mechanics of it. In 1893, anything that was not
turned by hand was considered a sight to see. And the wheel, which was a machine, was truly incredible to see.
Ferris wheel technology has only improved since then. Most of todays Ferris wheels are much larger than that first one. The
largest in the world is the "Singapore Flyer," which stands slightly taller than twice what Ferriss did!
Today, the Ferris wheel is the most common amusement park ride. The next time youre at an amusement park, dont just look up
at the impressive wheel in the sky on your way to a newer attraction. Take it for a spin!
12. Which is the best antonym for complex?
A. impressive B. beautiful C. exciting D. simple
13. What does the author like best about Ferris wheels?
A. the impressive engineering and beauty of them
B. the excitement and thrills they guarantee
C. the beautiful sights and relaxation they allow
D. the fact that most amusement parks have one
14. According to the passage, the Ferris wheel was originally designed for
A. Coney Island B. the worlds fair C. Disneyworld D. Singapore
15. This passage was most likely written to
A. describe the authors favorite amusement park rides
B. explain the original design of Ferris wheels and how they work today
C. describe the history of Ferris wheels and why they are so popular
D. explain the history of Ferris wheels and why the author likes them
16. Using information in the passage, the reader can understand that the tallest Ferris wheel in the world is
A. under 250 feet tall
B. between 250 and 500 feet tall
C. between 500 and 750 feet tall
D. over 750 feet tall

17. Education is the gateway to everyones own brave new world. When Raja Ram Mohan Roy pursued Sanskrit, Arabic, French
and English with equal zeal in the 19th century, his inner compulsion was to dispel
the darkness which had kept his era in thrall.
a) Inner darkness results due to the circumstances prevalent in an area. Education can do something about it.
b)Any era has its own compulsions and difficulties. Education helps to overcome them so the subjects of education should be
suitable, in keeping with the times.
c) Not everyone wants to bring about a change in the world according to his perception. Education is the key to it.
d) Keeping an era in thrall was the inner compulsion of Raja Ram Mohan Roy.

18. From Chennai to Himachal Pradesh, the new culture vultures are tearing down acres of Indias architectural treasures.
Ancestral owners are often fobbed off with a few hundred rupees for an exquisitely carved door or window, which fetches fifty
times that much from foreign dealers, and yet more from the drawing shop sophisticates of the Western Countries. The reason for
such shameless rape of the Indian architectural wealth can perhaps, not wrongly, be attributed to the unfortunate blend of activist
disunity and the local indifference.
a) India provides a rich market for unscrupulous antique dealers.
b) Most Indian families have heirlooms which can be sold at high prices to Europeans and Americans.
c) Only Indians are not proud of their cultural heritage and are hungry for foreign currency that is easily available in return of
artefacts.
d) The environment created by the meeting between activist disunity and local indifference is ideal for antique dealers to strive
in India.

Directions (17-21) Read the passage carefully to answer the questions
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text to check your answers when
appropriate.
If you plan on going to Hawaii, don't bring any pets. Hawaiians are wary of letting in foreign animals. Your beloved Rex or Fi-fi
could spend up to 120 days in quarantine. They have strict rules for importing animals. They carefully screen all incoming pets.
Who could blame them? They've had problems with new animals in the past.
The black rat was introduced to Hawaii in the 1780s. These ugly suckers originated in Asia, but they migrated to Europe in the
1st century. Since then they've snuck on European ships and voyaged the world with them. These rats carry many diseases
including the plague. They are also good at surviving and tend to displace native species. That means that after they infest an
area, there will be fewer birds and more black rats. Most people prefer living around birds.
Since their arrival in Hawaii, black rats have been pests. They've feasted on sea turtle eggs. They've eaten tree saplings,
preventing trees from being reforested. And they've been a leading cause in the extinction of more than 70 species of Hawaiian
birds. They love to climb trees to eat bird eggs. They also compete with forest birds for food, such as snails, insects, and seeds.
Perhaps more troubling, black rats threaten humans. They spread germs and incubate disease. They are a vector for more than 40
deadly illnesses. Some think that rat-borne diseases have killed more people than war in the last 1,000 years. Rats also eat our
food. They eat more than 20% of the world's farmed food. And that's why the mongoose was brought to Hawaii.
During the mid 1800s, the Hawaiian sugar industry was thriving. Americans were just realizing that they loved sugar. Hawaii was
pretty much the only place in America where one could grow sugarcane. But those filthy vermin were tearing up the fields. Black
rats were destroying entire crops. What's a plantation owner to do? The answer is simple. Import an animal known to kill rats.
What could go wrong with that? In 1883 plantation owners imported 72 mongooses and began breeding them.
People revere the mongoose in its homeland of India. They are often kept tame in Indian households. Mongooses feed on snakes,
rats, and lizards, creatures that most people dislike. They are also cute and furry. And they kill deadly cobras. What's not to love?
Sadly, India is a much different place than Hawaii.
When the mongooses got to Hawaii, they did not wipe out the rats as plantation owners hoped. Instead, they joined them in
ravaging the birds, lizards, and small plants that were native to Hawaii. It's not that the mongooses became friends with the rats.
They still ate a bunch of them. But mongooses are not too different from most other animals: they go for the easy meal. In Hawaii
they had a choice. Pursue the elusive black rat or munch on turtle eggs while tanning on the beach. Most took the easy route.
Now Hawaii has two unwanted guests defacing the natural beauty. The Hawaiians have learned their lesson. Talks of bringing in
mongoose-eating gorillas have been tabled. So don't get uptight when they don't welcome your cat Mittens with open arms.
They're trying to maintain a delicate ecosystem here.

17. Based on the text, which best explains how black rats were introduced to Hawaii?
a. The native Hawaiians imported them to solve a problem with their crops.
b. The Asians brought them to Hawaii when they first arrived.
c. The Europeans brought them on their ships.

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper, without a cloud there will be no rain;
without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the
cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-arc... if we look into
this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. If the sunshine is not there, the forest cannot grow. In fact,
nothing can grow. Even we cannot grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. the
paper and the sunshine inter-arc.
And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and bring it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we
see that wheat. We know that the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that has become his bread is
also in this sheet of paper. And the logger's father and mother are in it too. When we look in this way, we sec that without all of
these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist.
Looking even more deeply, we can see we are in it too. This is not difficult to see, because when we look at a sheet of paper, the
sheet of paper is part of our perception. Your mind is in here and also mine . So we can say that everything is in here with this
sheet of paper. You cannot point one thing that is not here- time, space, the earth, the rain, the minerals in the soil, the sunshine,
the cloud, the river, the heat, everything co exits with this sheet of paper. This is why I think the word inter be should be in the
dictionary: 'To be is to inter-be. You cannot just be by yourself alone. You have to inter-be with every other thing. This sheet of
paper is because everything else is.
17. A poet sees a cloud in a sheet of paper as
(a) He/she is very creative
(b) He/she loves nature
(c) He/she writes poetry on paper.
(d) He/she sees the universe as a single entity

18. A cloud and the paper inter-are means
(a) Both are very important (b) Both exist because of they are means. (c) A cloud exists on its own. (d) Everything in this world
is separate.
19. Why can't logger exist without his bread
(a) He will die without food (b) He can't grow wheat (c) Without cutting tress he can't earn money; can't buy his meals. (d) There
won't be enough trees to cut

Directions (6-9) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
Sixty years ago, on the evening of August 14, 1947, a few hours before Britains Indian Empire was formally divided into the nationstates of India and Pakistan, Lord Louis Mountbatten and his wife, Edwina, sat down in the his mansion in New Delhi to watch the
latest Bob Hope movie, My Favorite Brunette. Large parts of the subcontinent were descending into chaos, as the implications of
partitioning the Indian Empire along religious lines became clear to the millions of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs caught on the wrong
side of the border. In the next few months, some twelve million people would be uprooted and as many as a million murdered. But
on that night in mid-August the bloodbathand the fuller consequences of hasty imperial retreatstill lay in the future, and the
Mountbatten probably felt they had earned their evenings entertainment.
Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India, had arrived in New Delhi in March, 1947, charged with an almost impossible task.
Irrevocably enfeebled by the Second World War, the British belatedly realized that they had to leave the subcontinent, which had
spiralled out of their control through the nineteen-forties. But plans for brisk disengagement ignored messy realities on the ground.
Mountbatten had a clear remit to transfer power to the Indians within fifteen months. Leaving India to God, or anarchy, as Mohandas
Gandhi, the foremost Indian leader, exhorted, wasnt a political option, however tempting. Mountbatten had to work hard to figure
out how and to whom power was to be transferred.
The dominant political party, the Congress Party, took inspiration from Gandhi in claiming to be a secular organization, representing
all four hundred million Indians. But many Muslim politicians saw it as a party of upper-caste Hindus and demanded a separate

homeland for their hundred million co-religionists, who were intermingled with non-Muslim populations across the subcontinents
villages, towns, and cities. Eventually, as in Palestine, the British saw partition along religious lines as the quickest way to the exit.
But sectarian riots in Punjab and Bengal dimmed hopes for a quick and dignified British withdrawal, and boded ill for Indias
assumption of power. Not surprisingly, there were some notable absences at the Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi on
August 15th. Gandhi, denouncing freedom from imperial rule as a wooden loaf, had remained in Calcutta, trying, with the force of
his moral authority, to stop Hindus and Muslims from killing each other. His great rival Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who had fought
bitterly for a separate homeland for Indian Muslims, was in Karachi, trying to hold together the precarious nation-state of Pakistan.
Nevertheless, the significance of the occasion was not lost on many. While the Mountbattenswere sitting down to their Bob Hope
movie, Indias constituent assembly was convening in New Delhi. The moment demanded grandiloquence, and Jawaharlal Nehru,
Gandhis closest disciple and soon to be Indias first Prime Minister, provided it. Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny, he
said. At the stroke of the midnight hour, while the world sleeps, India will awaken to life and freedom. A moment comes, which
comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long
suppressed, finds utterance.
Posterity has enshrined this speech, as Nehru clearly intended. But today his quaint phrase tryst with destiny resonates ominously,
so enduring has been the political and psychological scars of partition. The souls of the two new nation-states immediately found
utterance in brutal enmity. In Punjab, armed vigilante groups, organized along religious lines and incited by local politicians,
murdered countless people, abducting and raping thousands of women. Soon, India and Pakistan were fighting a warthe first of
threeover the disputed territory of Kashmir. Gandhi, reduced to despair by the seemingly endless cycle of retaliatory mass murders
and displacement, was shot dead in January, 1948, by a Hindu extremist who believed that the father of the Indian nation was too soft
on Muslims. Jinnah, racked with tuberculosis and overwork, died a few months later, his dream of a secular Pakistan apparently
buried with him.

a) a celebration of Indian independence
b) an inspirational quote

Directions (18-22) : Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text to check your answers when
appropriate.
What's fiercer than a lion but smaller than a beagle? The honey badger, one of the toughest mammals in Africa and western Asia.
Honey badgers stand less than a foot high. They are only a couple feet long. They weigh just over 20 pounds. Yet they have a
reputation for toughness that is far greater than their size. Some honey badgers will chase away lions and take their kills. I guess
that goes to show you that size isn't the only thing that matters in a fight.
So what makes the honey badger so tough? They have speed, stamina, and agility, but so do many animals. They aren't stronger
than lions, so how do they stop them? The thing that sets the honey badger apart is their skin. Their skin is thick and tough.
Arrows, spears, and bites from other animals can rarely pierce it. Small bullets can't even penetrate it. Not only is their skin thick
and tough, it is also loose. This allows them to twist and turn to attack while another animal is gripping them. The only safe grip
one can get on a honey badger is on the back of their necks.
Honey badgers have long, sharp claws. These claws are good for attacking and even better for digging. Honey badgers are some
of nature's most skilled diggers. They can dig a nine-foot tunnel into hard ground in about 10 minutes. They love to catch a meal
by digging up the burrows of frogs, rodents, and cobras. They also use their digging skills to create their homes. They live in
small chambers in the ground and defend them fiercely. They will attack horses, cows, and even water buffalo if they are foolish
enough to poke around a honey badger's den.

You don't get a reputation like the honey badger by running from danger. The honey badger is fearless and a tireless fighter. They
will attack any creature that threatens them, man included. Because of the honey badger's reputation, most predators avoid them.
Some animals use the honey badger's rep to their advantage. Adult cheetahs have spotted coats, but their kittens have silver
manes and look like honey badgers. Some scientists believe that their coloring tricks predators into avoiding them. Wouldn't you
walk the other way if you saw a honey badger?
You might be wondering: "If honey badgers are so tough, how did they get a name that makes them sound like a piece of candy?"
The answer makes sense. Since honey badgers have such thick skin, bee stings rarely harm them. So honey badgers love to raid
beehives. I can't blame them. Who doesn't like free honey? Honey badgers chase after honey aggressively. So much so that
beekeepers in Africa have to use electric fencing to hold them back. There's nothing sweet about that.
Beekeepers aren't the only people who have grown to hate honey badgers. Honey badgers may be fun to read about, but they are
nasty neighbors. They attack chickens, livestock, and some say children, though they usually leave people alone. But if a honey
badger moves in your backyard, there's not a whole lot that you can do about it. I mean, are you going to go and tangle with an
animal that eats the bones of its prey? An animal with teeth strong enough to crunch through turtle shells? An animal that never
tires, gives up, or backs down? Yeah, I wouldn't either...
18. Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
a. What makes the honey badger so tough is their speed and strength.
b. Honey badgers are large in size and tireless in fighting spirit.
c. What makes honey badgers so tough is their thick, loose skin.

a. To persuade readers to join the efforts to protect honey badgers
b. To compare and contrast honey badgers with beagles and lions
c. To describe how honey badgers select their partners

Directions (20-22) Read the passage carefully to answer the questions.
Increasingly, historians are blaming diseases imported from the Old World for the staggering disparity between the indigenous
population of America in 1492new estimates of which soar as high as 100 million, or approximately one-sixth of the human
race at that timeand the few million full-blooded Native Americans alive at the end of the nineteenth century. There is no
doubt that chronic disease was an important factor in the precipitous decline, and it is highly probable that the greatest killer was
epidemic disease , especially as manifested in virgin-soil epidemics.
Virgin-soil epidemics are those in which the populations at risk have had no previous contact with the diseases that strike them
and are therefore immunologically almost defenseless. That virgin-soil epidemics were important in American history is strongly
indicated by evidence that a number of dangerous maladiessmallpox, measles, malaria, yellow fever, and undoubtedly several
morewere unknown in the pre-Columbian New World. The effects of their sudden introduction are demonstrated in the early
chronicles of America, which contain reports of horrendous epidemics and steep population declines, confirmed in many cases by
recent quantitative analyses of Spanish tribute records and other sources. The evidence provided by the documents of British and
French colonies is not as definitive because the conquerors of those areas did not establish permanent settlements and begin to
keep continuous records until the seventeenth century, by which time the worst epidemics had probably already taken place.
Furthermore, the British tended to drive the native populations away, rather than enslaving them as the Spaniards did, so that the
epidemics of British America occurred beyond the range of colonists direct observation.
Even so, the surviving records of North America do contain references to deadly epidemics among the indigenous population. In
1616-1619 an epidemic, possibly of bubonic or pneumonic plague, swept coastal New England, killing as many as nine out of
ten. During the 1630s smallpox, the disease most fatal to the Native American people, eliminated half the population of the
Huron and Iroquois confederations. In the 1820s fever devastated the people of the Columbia River area, killing eight out of ten
of them.
Unfortunately, the documentation of these and other epidemics is slight and frequently unreliable, and it is necessary to
supplement what little we do know with evidence from recent epidemics among Native Americans. For example, in 1952 an
outbreak of measles among the Native American inhabitants of Ungava Bay, Quebec, affected 99 percent of the population and
killed 7 percent, even though some had the benefit of modern medicine. Cases such as this demonstrate that even diseases that are
not normally fatal can have devastating consequences when they strike an immunologically defenseless community.
20. According to the passage, the British colonists were unlike the Spanish colonists in that the British colonists

(A) collected tribute from the native population
(B) kept records from a very early date
(C) drove Native Americans off the land
(D) were unable to provide medical care against epidemic disease
21. It can be inferred from the passage about native American inhabitants of Ungava Bay that .
A. They were almost all killed by the 1952 epidemic
B. They were defenseless against measles.
C. They were the last native people to be struck by a virgin soil epidemic
D. They did not come into frequent contact with white Americans until twentieth century
22. It is implied in the passage that
A. measles is not usually a fatal disease
B. measles ceased to be a problem by the seventeenth century
C. Measles is the disease most commonly involved in virgin oil epidemics
D. Measles was not a significant problem in Spanish colonies

hanging on a hook. Grandpa Bill, whats this funny key for?
Thats a skeleton key. It opens the best room in this house, Grandpa Bill whispered so no one else could hear. Its the room I go
to when your grandmother tries to make me help with the dishes.
Whats so special about the room? Erik asked.
Its a game room, Grandpa Bill said. Take the key and see if you can find the room by the time I finish my tea.
Erik grabbed the key and stared at it. A skeleton key? It looks old. Erik decided the oldest things in the house were probably
upstairs in the walk-up attic. He headed past the dining room and to the stairs.
Grandpa Bill sipped his tea and shook his head. Erik knew that meant he was going the wrong way. He headed back to the front
door where hed found the key. Erik thought about the oldest part of a house. The basement! Its the first part thats built. He
rushed to the basement door and looked at the lock. It was different from a normal lock. He slid the key inside and turned it. With a
click, the door opened.
Erik switched on the light and walked down the stairs. The basement was one giant room with a pool table in the middle and a
dartboard on the far wall. Awesome! Erik said. Ever learn to play pool? Grandpa Bill asked, coming down the stairs. No,
Erik said. Well then, grab a cue from the rack and Ill teach you. Erik smiled. The next four hours were going to fly by.
