In the following passage some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and choose the
correct answer to each question out of the four alternatives and fill in the blanks.
The Dalmatian of the sole surviving (semi-) speaker, Tuone Udaina, was surveyed in the late 1870s and again
towards the end of his life in the late 1890s. These fairly extensive records curiously suggest that a
systematic 189 change took place in those two decades such that by the 1980s the distinction between
present and imperfect indicative had largely been neutralized (a development unique among Romance
languages) in favour of the imperfect tense forms. I argue that the data are authentic and that the change,
whether in occurred just in Udaina’s head or was already underway in the last years of Dalmatian as a spoken
language, is purely ‘internal’ and not 190 by contact with other languages. I explore its internal mechanisms
and show that what is involved is a kind of analogical form-meaning levelling whose signatium is an ‘empty’
element of 191 structure. Reinforcement of this essentially ‘nonsensical’ 192 of paradigmatic structure
constitutes further evidence for my general view tat intrapadigmatic coherence may be no less important
than extra morphological transparency. It also suggests that such a development can as easily 193 in a dying
language as anywhere else.

A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to
each question out of the given four alternatives.
Corruption is not a uniquely Indian phenomenon. It is witnessed all over the world in developing as well as
developed countries. It has spread its tentacles in every sphere of life, namely business administration,
politics, officialdom, and services. In fact, there is hardly any sector which can be characterised for not being
infected with the vices of corruption. Corruption is rampant in every segment and every section of society,
barring the social status attached to it. Nobody can be considered free from corruption from a high ranking
officer.
To root out the evil of corruption from society, we need to make a comprehensive code of conduct for
politicians, legislatures, bureaucrats, and such code should be strictly enforced. Judiciary should be given
more independence and initiatives on issues related to corruption. Special courts should be set-up to take up
such issues and speedy trial is to be promoted. Law and order machinery should be allowed to work without
political interference. NGOs and media should come forward to create awareness against corruption in
society and educate people to combat this evil. Only then we would be able to save our system from being
collapsed.

Question 18

What kind of status is being barred by the corruption?

A    social

B    economic

C    mental

D    physical

A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to
each question out of the given four alternatives.

Superstitions are a universal phenomena having their own peculiar place in the cultural ethos and milieu of a
people. They epitomize man's fear of the unknown, fear of evil, blind faith in omens and portents.
Superstitions are inter-woven with myth, legend, unnatural phenomena and disaster, customs and traditions,
and are mainly the outcome of ignorance. They are unreasoned and irrational beliefs that gradually become
matters of faith. When certain things and happenings are rationally inexplicable people tend to assign
mysterious and supernatural reasons for their operation. Thus a natural disaster is explained in terms of
God's wrath and the failure of one's project is assigned to the black cat which crossed the path just as one
set out on the errand. The primitive human beings were mainly governed by superstitions. Superstitions were
widespread before the dawn of civilization when science had not advanced. Thus, ignorance of the primitive
people and the resultant growth of superstitions were the direct outcome of the lack of scientific
advancement. Unenlightened people always tend to be superstitious. The belief in the sanctity of time and
old traditions of the ancestors bind the people into knots of superstitious thought.
Besides, the unscrupulous priests and religious officials exercise a dominating, unhealthy effect upon the
people believing in religious orthodoxy. They encourage superstitions for their own ulterior motives.
Superstitions are not only universally prevalent but even have strikingly common features whether believed in
India or in as far off a place as Canada. There are some common superstitions which are shared by people all
over the world. Beliefs in spirits, ghosts and witches and reincarnation are quite common among all the
peoples of the world. Belief in witches still prevails in India, France, Scotland, England and many other
countries. In countries of the East, especially in India, belief in ghosts and spirits still exists. The cries of
certain birds like owls and ravens and the howl of cats are regarded with superstition as portents of evil
throughout the world. Then there is a very common belief that the sighting of comets portends the death of
kings or great men or some unforeseen catastrophe. Shakespeare refers to such a superstition in his Julius
Ceaser, Halley's Comet in the twentieth century evoked a similar response in many a mind.

Question 19

What can only be the effective counter of superstition?

A    belief in the sanctity of time

B    awareness through plays like Julius Ceaser by Shakespeare

C    explaining the theory of reincarnation

D    a broad light of scientific discovery
