51. Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions that follow :
It is a matter of life or death: that's a concept that gets our attention, while being engrossed
in an A-grade medical book, last year's Pulitzer Prize winner for non-fiction. The Emperor
of All Maladies : A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee. It isn't hyperbole to
call Emperor a literary masterpiece. The Pulitzer citation describes it as, "an elegant
inquiry, at once clinical and personal, into the long history of an insidious disease that,
despite treatment breakthroughs, still bedevils medical science." "Elegant" is an apposite
description of the New York-based oncologist's prose, whether he is rephrasing Tolstoy:
"Normal cells are identically normal; malignant cells become unhappily malignant in
unique ways"; or explaining the book's provocative title: "This book is a 'biography' in
the truest sense of the wordan attempt to enter the mind of this immortal illness, to

understand its personality, to demystify its behaviour." "If we, as a species, are the
ultimate product of Darwinian selection, then so, too, is this incredible disease that lurks
inside us." Mukherjee weaves together multiple stories about medical advances, doctors
and scientists, and the patients who teach us something in the living or dying. Emperor is
a historical account of cancer; we understand how cancer rose to prominence as a leading
cause of deathas a direct result of human beings living longer now, and more likely to
develop cancer. A greater understanding of the disease however comes with the caveat,
the more you know, and the more aware you are of how much you don't know. Another
doctor/author who combines the three key ingredients that make Emperor such an unputdownable readmedical expertise, literary elegance and the ability to tell a story
is Abraham Verghese. His first two books, My Own Country : A Doctor's Story of a Town
and Its People in the Age of AIDS and The Tennis Partner are gripping and finely crafted
more, they are candid and compassionate. The doctor's story is worth listening to, as
well, hence the popularity of the medical memoir. In Heart Matters : A Memoir of a
Female Heart Surgeon, author Kathy Magliato Strikes a chord when she describes "the
thrill of touching the human heart". As one of the world's very few female heart surgeons,
she offers a different viewpoint on what is largely regarded as a male preserve. Medical
books deal with a subject close to our heartsus, we, ourselves. Perhaps the ones we
are most drawn tothrillers asideare those that give us a deeper insight into how the
mind-body machine works, why we are sick, how we can get betterand, unhappily,
sometimes, why we can't. The doctor-author hyphenates are some of the most talented
storytellers in this field; so when you next get a prescription from your doctor, bear in
mind that within that undecipherable scrawl could lurk the beginnings of a literary
masterpiece.

Directions (76-80) : In the following questions, you have one brief passage with some questions
following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question
out of four alternatives.
One simple physical concept lies behind the formation of the stars : gravitational instability. The concept
is not new. Newton first perceived it late in the 17th centaury.
Imagine a uniform, static cloud of gas in space. Imagine then that the gas is somehow disturbed so that
one small spherical region becomes a little denser than the gas around it so that the small region's
gravitational field becomes slightly stronger. It now attracts more matter to it and its gravity increases
further, causing it to begin to contract. As it contracts its density increases which increases its gravity
even more so that it picks up even more matter and contracts even further. The process continues until
the small region gas finally forms a gravitational bound object.
76. The primary purpose of the passage is to :
(A) Describe a static condition
(B) Support a theory considered outmoded
(C) Depict the successive stages of a phenomenon
(D) Demonstrate the evolution of the meaning of a term
77. It can be inferred from the passage that the author views the information contained
within it as :
(A) Lacking in elaboration

(B) Original but obscure

(C) Speculative and unprofitable

(D) Uncomplicated and traditional

78. With which of the following words can you replace the word uniform as given in this

(D) Matter

1.

What causes the disturbances that changes the cloud from its original static condition ?

2.

How does this small region's increasing density affect its gravitational field ?

3.

What is the end result of the gradually increasing concentration of the small region
of gas ?

(A) 1 only

(B) 2 only

(D) 1, 2 and 3

Directions (83-85) : In the following questions, you have one brief passage with some questions
following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question
out of four alternatives.
In May 1966, the World Health Organisation was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate
smallpox. The goal was to eradicate the disease in one decade. Because the similar projects for malaria
and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years
after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations, but also to isoate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards
for reporting small-pox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One-by-one, each small
-pox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire
village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.
Today small-pox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.
