Directions for Questions 11-14: Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the
transfer of heat
and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a
millimeter
of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of
the air is
close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these
differences might
be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the
surface
mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower
in water
vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes
the air. As
the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate
of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of
this
phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water,
which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated
phenomenon.
When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of
energy-energy,
which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence.
11. This passage principally intends to:
A. resolve a controversy
B. attempt a description of a phenomenon
C. sketch a theory
D. reinforce certain research findings
E. tabulate various observations
Answer : B
12. The wind over the ocean usually does which of the following
according to the given passage?
I. Leads to cool, dry air coming in proximity with the ocean surface.
II. Maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the ocean
and the air.
III. Results in frequent changes in the ocean surface temperature.
A. I only
B. II only
C. I and II only
D. II and III only
E. I, II, and III
Answer : A
13. According to the author the present knowledge regarding heat and
moisture transfer from the ocean to air as
A. revolutionary
B. inconsequential
C. outdated
D. derivative
E. incomplete
Answer : E
14. According to the given passage, in case the wind was to decrease until
there was no wind at all, which of the following would occur?
A. The air, which is closest to the ocean surface would get saturated
with water vapor.
B. The water would be cooler than the air closest to the ocean
surface.
C. There would be a decrease in the amount of moisture in the air
closest to the ocean surface.
D. There would be an increase in the rate of heat and moisture
transfer.
E. The temperature of the air closest to the ocean and that of the air
higher up would be the same.
Answer : A
Directions for Questions 15-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Roger Rosenblatt's book Black Fiction, manages to alter the approach taken
in many
previous studies by making an attempt to apply literary rather than
sociopolitical
criteria to its subject. Rosenblatt points out that criticism of Black
writing has very
often served as a pretext for an expounding on Blackhistory. The recent work of
Addison Gayle's passes a judgement on the value of Black fiction by clearly
polit ical
standards, rating each work according to the ideas of Black identity, which it
propounds.
Though fiction results from political circumstances, its author react not
in ideological
ways to those circumstances, and talking about novels and stories primarily as
instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise.
Affinities and
connections are revealed in the works of Black fiction in Rosenblatt's
literary analysis;
these affinities and connections have been overlooked and ignored by solely
political
studies.
The writing of acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presumes giving
satisfactory answers to a quite a few questions. The most important of all,
is there a
sufficient reason, apart from the racial identity of the authors, for the
grouping
together of Black authors? Secondly, what is the distinction of Black
fiction from other
modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? In the work Rosenblatt
demonstrates that Black fiction is a distinct body of writing, which has an
identifiable,
coherent literary tradition. He highlights recurring concerns and designs,
which are
independent of chronology in Black fiction written over the past eighty
years. These
concerns and designs are thematic, and they come form the central fact of the
predominant white culture, where the Black characters in the novel are situated
irrespective of whether they attempt to conform to that culture or they
rebel against
it.
Rosenblatt's work does leave certain aesthetic questions open. His thematic
analysis
allows considerable objectivity; he even clearly states that he does not
intend to judge
the merit of the various works yet his reluctance seems misplaced,
especially since an
attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For example,
certain novels
have an appearance of structural diffusion. Is this a defeat, or are the
authors working
out of, or attempting to forge, a different kind of aesthetic? Apart from
this, the style
of certain Black novels, like Jean Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism or
surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent
theme that
portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually
conveyed by
more naturalistic modes of expressions?
Irrespective of such omissions, what Rosenblatt talks about in his work
makes for an
astute and worthwhile study. His book very effectively surveys a variety of
novels,
highlighting certain fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon
Johnson's
Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man. Black Fiction is tightly constructed, and
levelheaded and penetrating criticism is exemplified in its forthright and
lucid style.
15. The author of the passage raises and objection to criticism of Black
fiction like that by Addison Gayle as it:
A. Highlights only the purely literary aspects of such works
B. Misconceive the ideological content of such fiction
C. Miscalculate the notions of Black identity presented in such fiction
D. Replaces political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction
E. Disregards the reciprocation between Black history and Black
identity exhibited in such fiction.
Answer : D
16. The primary conce rn of the author in the above passage is:
A. Reviewing the validity of a work of criticism
B. Comparing various critical approaches to a subject
C. Talking of the limitations of a particular kind of criticism
D. Recapitulation of the major points in a work of criticism
E. Illustrating the theoretical background of a certain kind of
criticism.
Answer : A
17. The author is of the opinion that Black Fiction would have been
improved had Rosenblatt:
A. Undertaken a more careful evaluation of the ideological and
historical aspects of Black Fiction
B. Been more objective in his approach to novels and stories by
Black authors
C. Attempted a more detailed exploration of the recurring themes in
Black fiction throughout its history

literary tradition
