Passage:

My phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it anymore. Manisha is persistent. She will
continue to bedevil me until I acquiesce.

“Hello” I answer.

“The circus, Atika?” she says in her sing-song voice. “When are we going? Only two
more days left!”

I abhor the circus. The boisterous crowds, the overwhelming smell of animal faces, the
insanely long lines with wailing children and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom
all combine to make this an event that I dread.
 For Maneesha, my best friend since the angst of middle school, the circus is a sign that
diving powers really do exist.

“Really, Atika, where else can you pet an elephant, see a stuntman ride a horse, laugh
till you are ready to cry, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried potatoes and
butter soaked popcorn?” Maneesha asks gleefully

“Hell?” I guess

The fried food at the circus is a gastronomical nightmare in its own. I once tried a fried
cottage cheese stick at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried burger
with oil soaked potato patty, cheese, multi colored sauces AND a greasy slice of cottage
cheese? How could that not be deleterious to your health?

I have not seen Maneesha for a good month; our schedules are bot so hectic. My hatred
of the circus becomes inconsequential to my desire to hang with Mani.

Alas, I ignore my anti-circus bias for the umpteenth year. “Pick me up at noon”, I say and
hang up the phone.

18. What does it mean to acquiesce?

a. To give in
b. To speak kindly
c. To pay attention
d. To answer the phone
19. How does Maneesha seem to feel about the circus?
a. Ambivalent
b. Condescending
c. Jubilant
d. Nonchalant
20. Why might the author have chosen to capitalize all the letters in the word “and” when
writing about the burger she ate?
a. To make sure the reader understood it was list
b. To show that a greasy slice of cottage cheese was the last ingredient
c. To highlight her dislike of greasy slice of cottage cheese
d. To emphasize how many ingredients were in the burger
21. What does the term gastronomical suggest?
a. Enormous
b. Health risk
c. Culinary issue
d. Resulting in gas
Passage:

Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex
selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror. Experts are calling it “Sanitized barbarism”.
Demographic trends indicating towards a million female fetuses aborted each year.

Although foetal sex determination is a crimical offence in India, the practice is rampant. Private
clinics with ultrasound machines are doing brisk business. Everywhere, people are paying to
know the sex of an unborn child, and paying more to abort the female child. The technology has
even reached remote areas through mobile clinics. Dr. Puneet Bedi, Obstetrician and specialist
in foetal medicine, says these days he hardly sees a family with two daughters. People are
getting sex determination done even for the first child he says.

If the 1991 census showed that two districts had a child sex ratio (number of girls per thousand
boys) less than 850; by 2001 it was 51 districts. Child rights activist Dr. Sabu George says
foeticide is the most extreme form of violence against women. “Today a girl is several times
more likely to be eliminated before birth than die of various causes in the first year. Nature
intended the womb to be safe space. Today, doctors have made it the most unsafe space for
the female child,” he says. He believes that the doctors must be held responsible. “They have
aggressively promoted the misuse of technology and legitimized foeticide”.

Akhila Sivadas, Center for Advocacy and Research, Delhi feels that the PCPNDT Act (Pre-
Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques – Regulation and Prevention of misuse) is very
well conceived and easy to use. The need of the hour is legal literacy to ensure the law is
implemented. “The demand and supply debate has been going on from some time. Doctors say
there is a social demand and they are only fulfilling it. They argue that the social attitudes must
change. However in this case supply fuels demand. Technology will have to be regulated.
Technology in the hands of greedy, vested interests cannot be neutral. There is a law to prevent
misuse and we must be able to use it,” he says.

On the “demand” side, experts such as Dr. Agnihotri argue that women’s participation in
workforce, having disposable incomes and making a contribution to larger society will make a
difference to how women seen. Youth icons and role models such Saina Nehwal are making an
impact, he says.

Others feel there needs to be widespread visible contempt and anger in society against this
“genocide” – “the kind we saw against the Nithari Killings”, says Dr. Bedi. “Today nobody can
say female foeticide is not their problem. Time we all did our bit to help save the girl child.
Time’s running out.

22. What does the term ‘sanitised’ imply in the first paragraph of the passage?
 a. Unforgivable
b. Legitimate
c. Free from dirt
d. None
23. Which “demand” does the author refer to, in paragraph 5?
a. Demand for principled doctors
b. Demand for high income jobs for women
c. Demand for youth icons
d. Demand for sex determination and abortion
24. Which of the two people mentioned in the passage suggest similar solution to the
problem?
a. Dr. Agnihotri and Dr. George
b. Dr. Bedi and Dr. Agnihotri
c. Dr. George and Dr. Bedi
d. Dr. George and Dr. Sivadas
25. What is doctor’s explanation for foeticide?
a. They think it is legitimate
b. They do it because people demand it
c. The technology is available and there is no harm in using it
d. None
