Passage I (Q.Nos. 191 to 195)
India is chiefly an agricultural land. The cultivation of crops depends on a proper supply of water throughout the year. Since olden times, large parts of our country have suffered from occasional periods of too much rain and those of drought. People have known that if surplus flood water could be stored away for use during the dry season, these problems will be solved. Unfortunately, they had neither the knowledge nor the means to do much in this direction. Whatever little they knew, they tried to put into practice. They dug cannals to drain water from perennial rivers. This was heavy and expensive work and practicable over only a small area. Large tanks were excavated and small dams built to hold back floods. But it was not possible to do anything on a countrywide scale.
191. How has our country suffered since olden times?
- It has suffered from heavy rains or severe droughts.
- It has suffered under the British Rule
- It has suffered due to the caste system
- It has suffered due to the zamindari system
192. Why were the people unable to solve the problem?
- They were indifferent to the problem
- They lacked knowledge and the means to solve the problem
- Inadequate finance
- Absence of will power
193. The term ‘perennial’ means
- flowing once a year
- flowing throughout the year
- flowing during the monsoon
- rivers flowing into canals
194. India’s economy is chiefly
- Industrial
- Mixed
- Agricultural
- Socialistic
195. ‘Excavated’ means
- to make caves
- to dig
- to flood
- to fill
Passage II (Q.Nos. 196 to 200)
Stop reading this passage for a few seconds and look around the room you’re in. Without any perceived effort at all on your part, your brain will register everything within the scope of your vision. But where does all that information – known as sensory memory – go? Well, pretty quickly. it vanishes.
So what if you want to hold on to these fleeting memories for longer? The answer is abvious: you need to pay conscious attention to the sensory input we are receiving. By focusing on it, you can take the information to the next memory level, and turn it into working – or short – term – memory. This enables you, say, to remember the words you’ve just read so that what follows makes overall sense.
True to its name, short – term memory lasts for only a few seconds to a few minutes, but is plays a vital role in our daily lives, allowing us to write down doctor’s appointments, make everyday decisions or have a conversation (think about it : you have to recall what someone said to you five seconds ago in order to respond). Of course, there is some information you need to keep for days, months or even years. What you need here is long – term memory. With this, the potential is there to remember something forever.
196. The information that your brain stores within a fleeting moment is called
- sensory memory
- short-time memory
- long-term memory
- memory level
197. The information stored in your sensory memory generally
- stays with you for a short while
- disappears completely
- lingers in your brain
- stays with you forever
198. To convert a sensory memory into a short-term memory we must
- focus on the information
- concentrate on what we are looking at
- be consiciously attentive to sensory input
- ignore a sensory input completely
199. Short – term memory allows us to
- remember an event during childhood
- remember simple things like appointments
- remember plenty of dates and numbers
- remember events for many years
200. Long-term memory helps us
- remember a thing for a long time
- forget things for a long time
- erase short-term memory
- forget unimportant things
