English Section: Q1.

c The author explains that 'bare minimum' facilities for health care are available in the wards of the public hospital in SubSaharan Africa. Q2. a The author describes the condition of the available beds which are about 'to fall apart' as their physical structure may collapse at any time. Q3. b In the passage, a comparison is being made between the facilities available in high tech hospitals with those available in the public hospitals in Africa. The author is explaining the vast difference between the two. Q4. a Out of the given options 'functioning' fits best because the author has used the word in connection with the devices that are used in high tech hospitals to monitor every movement of the patient's body. Q5. c 'Array' refers to an arrangement. Here, the author refers to the arrangement of indicating lines that are displayed on electronic monitors which are monitoring a patient's condition. Q6. b 'Erratic' means irregular. The word has been used in the same context. The author explains the irregular supply of electricity in Africa. Q7. a In the passage, the author is asserting the need for trained staff that is capable of understanding and deducing the electronic displays that indicate the physical condition of the patient. Q8. b 'Display' has been used in the noun form here. This refers to the visual representation of the output of the electronic medical devices mentioned in the passage. Q9. c The author mentions that there are trained staff available but they are not present in great numbers. So, 'not enough' fits best here. Q10. b People in poor countries are unable to have access to gadgets as they are unaffordable. It is only because of the efforts of Freeplay Energy that people in these countries have been able to access or have 'the opportunity to use' these cheap and affordable but equally efficient and effective gadgets. Q11. c 'Neonatal' means of or pertaining to newborn children. From the given options, only options c and d are close. Option d refers to the child whereas neonatal refers to the newborn or the early days of life . So, option c fits best here. Q12. d The passage explains that high infant mortality rate is a crude reality of life or an 'unavoidable reality of life'. Q13. b 'Mortality' denotes the frequency of deaths. Q14. c The author explains how the company has 'redesigned' or 'given a new form' to the medical gadgets that are originally designed according to the needs of the developed countries. Q15. c 'Routinely' denotes 'regularly' as the author refers to the use of these high tech gadgets in the hospitals of the developed countries. Q16. a The author mentions that the ultrasound heart monitor keeps a watch on or monitors the condition of the baby while it is in

the mother's womb. Q17. b The dictionary meaning of 'get around' is 'to move about'. In the passage, the author is explaining how the devices work around the need for electricity. They depend upon foot panel or solar pedal to generate energy and thus help in the proper functioning of these devices. Q18. b Electronics and gadgets are 'stripped down' or 'simplified' so that they can be used easily and efficiently in areas where power supply is irregular. Q19. c 'Robust' here refers to the sturdiness of the gadgets once they are redesigned to suit the needs of the developing countries. Q20. b 'Fancy' associates to 'special' because the same gadgets are available in the developed countries but with additional and exclusive features. Q21. b The author explains in the second paragraph that there is no shortage of trained staff in the cities. However, beyond city limits they are available but in short supply. Option b is contradictory to the point mentioned by the author in the passage. Q22. a The author not only mentions that there exists a shortage of equipment but he also suggests that there is not enough power supply to run the equipment. Since there is a lack of power, batteries are costly in the region. Option b is incorrect according to the information given in the passage. There is not enough evidence that justifies option c. Option d mentions the atmosphere of the local markets which is irrelevant in the given scenario. So, option a is a suitable answer. Q23. c The last paragraph of the passage explains that the equipment has been redesigned by Freeplay. This redesigned equipment can be used without the supply of main electricity. Q24. d Only option d is not mentioned in the passage. Rest-clean water, good diet and vaccines are mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the passage. Q25. d The last paragraph of the passage explains the features of the redesigned equipments. It clearly mentions that a certain equipment which needs to be wheeled around in a trolley in the developed countries has been redesigned according to the needs of the developing countries. Q26. a Here, the plural 'prototypes' should be used. Q27. b There is a subject verb agreement error in the sentence. Since the subject 'mobile phones' is plural, the verb used should also be plural. So, 'become' should be used. Q28. d In the given sentence where 'either-or' is used, the subject closest to the verb decides whether the verb should be singular or plural. In this case, the plural form 'the players' precedes the verb so it should be 'are lying'. Q29. b This is a case of redundancy and incorrect usage . Either the sentence should read ' He was sick with typhoid' because 'of' is an incorrect preposition used with typhoid or the words ' of typhoid' should be removed as they are redundant. The sentence still makes clear sense when these words are removed. In any case, option b contains the error. Q30. c This is a case of redundancy. If the subject is asking something then the reply will be directed towards him. So, the usage of 'him' is unncessary. Q31. d

The sentence is reporting an event that has happened in the past. So, it should be ' and injured a few passengers'. Q32. b The use of the preposition 'to' with 'apprise' is incorrect. One is 'apprised of' something and not 'to apprise'. Q33. b The sentence defines what is expected from the students. It states an action that needs to be completed in a certain period of time. The correct sentence should read 'Students are supposed to ' Q34. c In English usage, the word 'long' and 'wide' are usually used together. The usage of 'broad' in the sentence is dirupts its structure. Hence, its incorrect. Q35. c The word 'loose' means free from fastening whereas the word 'lose' means to get rid of. In the given sentence the use of 'lose' with a single 'o' is appropriate. Q36. a The sentence does not refer to a specific editor. It mentions a certain trait of all editors and their attitude towards writers in general. So, option a fits best. Q37. a The sentence moves from a general reference to authors and then goes onto a specific example of an author. So, option a fits best here. Q38. c The sentence suggests a specific approach that Ezra Pound brought to the editing of a particular book. So, the definite article 'the' fits in both the blanks. Q39. a This sentence moves from a general idea about a piece of writing to its specific characteristic of becoming one of the greatest poems of that era. Therefore, the first blank should be filled by the indefinite article 'a' and second by the definite article 'the'. Q40. b The sentence talks about a recent case of editorial intervention and then refers to a specific event. So, option b fits best here. Q41. a Sentence (ii) begins the paragraph as an opening statement. It introduces the subject of 'detectors' and the American government's efforts. Sentence (v) refers to 'some of these detectors' and provides further explanation on the location of these detectors. Sentence (v) and (iv) form a mandatory pair. 'Others' in sentence (iv) refers to the rest of the detectors and their positioning. Sentence (iii) and (i) follow the order as they form a mandatory pair. Sentence (iii) gives the view regarding the 'good news' and sentence (i) provides the opposite. So, option a provides the correct order. Q42. b Sentence (v) provides an appropriate beginning to the paragraph. It is a general statement regarding a general belief. Sentence (ii) follows. The pronoun antecedent 'they' refers to the 'large buildings' that are mentioned in the earlier sentence. Sentence (iv) then gives specific figures that justify that 'large buildings' are, in reality, 'energy guzzling machines'. Sentence (iii) gives a suggestion that could provide a solution to the problem. The relative pronoun 'that' in sentence (i) refers to the solution suggested in the earlier sentence. Therefore, option b provides the correct order of the sentences. Q43. a Sentence (iii) is the opener of the paragraph because it is a general belief related to the discovery of America. Since sentence (iii) explains that it is America that has been discovered more often than any other land, the next sentence that follows the order is (v). This sentence justifies the claim made in the first sentence and recounts the number of people that had already reached the Carribean before Columbus. Sentence (v) and (i) form a mandatory pair. This is because the pronoun antecedent 'these people' refers to the Irish, Vikings etc mentioned in (v). Sentence (ii) then follows the order as it further provides evidence to the general belief established earlier. Sentence (ii) and (iv) form a mandatory pair because the pronoun antecedent ' they' in sentence (iv) refers to the Asians mentioned in (ii). Thus, option (a) provides the appropriate order. Q44. a

Sentence (ii) begins the paragraph by explaining a particular feature of the fireflies. Sentence (ii) forms a mandatory pair with (iv) because (iv) explains the process by which light is produced within the body of the insect. 'The bright glow' mentioned in (iv) is followed by (iii) because it continues the same subject of 'the glow' and carries the line of thought further by explaing the advantage of the same. This is followed by sentence (v) which then explains that some regions like China and Brazil are already taking advantage of this natural energy produced by these insects. Sentence (i) presents a contradiction and provides an appropriate ending to the paragraph by giving a definite finding related to the issue. So, option (a) provides the appropriate order. Q45. d Sentence (iii) provides an appropriate beginning as it introduces the subject of 'the skin' and exlpains its advantages. Sentence (ii) follows as the pronoun antecedent 'it' refers to 'skin' mentioned in the earlier sentence. Sentence (i) explains the functions further. Sentence (i) gives an additional feature as it contains the word 'also'. So, the correct order is presentend in option (d). Q46. a The word 'set' fits in with all the given words. Q47. d The word 'close' fits in with all the given words. Q48. b The word 'show' fits in with all the given words. Q49. d The word 'black' fits in with all the given words. Q50. d The word 'go' fits in with all the given words.

Legal Aptitude 114. c) The parcel was sent to B by his father, and hence all the contents of the same rightfully belonged to him. A cannot claim any rights over it, and if he retains anything without seeking B's permission, he would be deriving an unjust benefit. 113. d) The facts are similar to those in the case of Donoghue vs. Stevenson The manufactured owed a duty and standard of care to the end-users or consumers- who would ultimately be consuming the beer. hence even if there is no specific contract between X and the manufacturer, the latter would not be able to deny liability, as the presence of the snail in the bottle clearly proves that he has been negligent in performing the duty vested in him. 115. d) Y can sue Z for the disturbance caused as it is something that is unreasonably disturbing Z and even after complaining about the same he kept causing the nuisance. 116. a) Raju can sue Lakshmi service Center for damages including exemplary damages as he had already told them about the gravity of the situation, even then they did not carry on the task properly. Special damages can be awarded in this case as the losses resulted out of the irresponsible behavior of Lakshmi service Center 117. b) When you are dealing with a potentially dangerous substance you need to take care of it and the standard of care in these cases is even more high. In the present circumstances The University should have taken care extra care. 118. d) Rahim will have to return the cows and the calf without charging any amount as it was not priorly decided and he has to return it, as even if the cow gave birth to the calf he undertook to take care of the cow and he has to stick to the agreement of bailment where no such promise of paying him was made at the time of entering into the contract. 119.c) This was a perfect example of act of God as the Association could not control the happening. The earthquake was a natural event and the association cannot be held liable for the cause of cancellation of the show, which was out of control of the organizers. 120. b) The Contract was for supplying the necessities and hence is binding upon even the minor, as the person just supplied him with the commodities which will help him to survive with his education. 121.a) B cannot enforce this contract as the object was illegal, and he cannot enforce it in any court of law. 122. a) Raman has to pay the amount as Horse racing agreements are legal forms of Contracts in India. 123. c) The Pedestrian can sue both of them, the master can be sued vicariously and the servant can be sued directly. 124. b) He cannot claim the compensation as the condition was expressly mentioned in this contingent contract.
