1. Throughout the passage, the author reiterates the fact that studying history widens our
vision and the penultimate sentence of the passage states that by studying the accidental
chain of events that led us here, we realize how our thoughts and dreams took shape and we
begin to think and dream differently. Therefore, only option (B) would be the most
appropriate for citizens to learn history.
2. Refer to lines 7 and 8 of the passage and the last four lines of the passage. Hence it can be
said that option (D) is closest in to the main idea which the author intends to convey.
3. Statements 1 and 4 are contradicted by lines 4 to 6 of the passage. Hence, option (D) is the
correct choice.
4. Option (A) is the correct choice.
5. Refer to lines 5 and 6 of para 2, from this it can be inferred that a doubt may lead to belief.
Hence, option (D).
6. It is stated in the passage that once we achieve a belief, we can take the necessary action to
reach our destination. From this it is explicit that a candidate believes that he/she has faith
in the application process and that is the reason why he/she has applied for CLAT. Hence,
option (A) is the correct choice.
7. The word “dilettantism” means amateurism or inexpertness. Hence, from the given
options the word “guess” is closest in meaning to the word dilettante.
8. It is stated in the second para of the passage that Pierce acknowledges that some people like
to think about things or argue about them without caring to find a true belief, but he
asserts that such dilettantism does not constitute thought. Hence, option (B) is the
appropriate answer to this question.
9. Individualist anarchism, according to the last paragraph, involves “protecting our own
autonomy and associating with others for common advantages”. The last line of the passage
states that these thinkers “differed from free-market liberals in their absolute mistrust of
American capitalism, and in their emphasis on mutualism.” In other words, while both
individualist anarchists and free-market thinkers agreed on the importance of individual
autonomy, individualist anarchists distrusted capitalism and put emphasis on mutualism
while free-market thinkers did not. All other options mention ideas like state intervention
in markets, morally upright capitalism and altrusim which are not discussed in the passage.

106. D; D is the strongest argument since there is a high degree of similarity between the two
statements. Although all options deal with possibly dangerous situations, none of the options
other than ‘D’ deal with a minor, or the consequences of selling to a minor.
115. C. The passage discusses the ideology of female benevolence as initially restricting women to
domestic work (consistent with option B), and later as an ingenious way to raise money (consistent
with options A and D). Hence option C is the least consistent.
116. B. Option A is a direct contradiction to the passage. Option C is not mentioned anywhere in
the passage. Option D also cannot be inferred from the passage. Option B is the essence of the
passage.
119. C. Both options depict women who have strong ambitions, but cling to the idea of female
benevolence in order to fit society.
120. (B). Even though the government asked twitter to block several accounts, twitter only blocked
those inconsistent with its policies and not necessarily those the government wanted to. (c) is not
the answer as it was a mere allegation made by the government and not all accounts were provoking
violence.
121. (C) cut the mic in this context means to prevent people from voicing their opinions on twitter
by blocking their accounts. It does not mean banning the person from the twitter platform as the
person may enter with a different account notwithstanding the blockage of one account.
122. (C) is the correct answer as directly stated in the passage that after the incident of January 26,
the people on twitter were spreading violence provoking information that the government alleged
and wanted to curb.
123. (D); as nowhere in the passage has the author mentioned the exact policies of twitter with
respect to grounds on which it blocks accounts. Additionally, the author mentions that twitter has
no definite rules with respect to that.
124. (C); as the crux of the passage is that even though china hints at disengagement, India should
not let down its guard as at previous occasions as well, China has backstabbed India under the garb
of pretending to disengage.
125. (C) ; because the first statement of the 2nd paragraph says so. [b] has not mention of it in the
passage. [c] and [d] are not true as non has disengaged with another in the border crisis.
126. (D) as China act of disengagement was strikingly opposed to its usual strident posturing with
neighbours with whom it has boundary issues. The first and third sentence state the exact opposite
and the second one cannot be inferred.
127. (B); This can be solved through elimination. The first is eliminated because we need to back
down at some point and not ‘never’. [c] may be correct but cannot be inferred. [d] is the exact
opposite of what the author has to say.
128. (B) The references of Galwan valley and Doklam has been given to forewarn the Indian troops
about the usual Chinese attitude of being unreliable.
129. (C) ; is the correct answer as can be inferred from The French president’s words. [a] is the
exact opposite of what the French think and feel. [c] is not mentioned in the passage about
president’s opposition to exchange of culture’s per se but he is opposed to import of dark social
science theories from America. [d] is out of context.
130. (C) ; the first statement finds a mention nowhere. The second is an all French and American
university encompassing statement and hence incorrect. [d] is true but not the main point of the
passage.
131. (A) The French are troubled, annoyed and upset at the import of American social science
theories and its implication on France and French Culture. They are not sad but have rather angry
undertones. [c] and [d] are not the meaning in the context.

Hence, Binder charges = 12/30 x 30000 = 12000
137. (B); 360° = 100%
Hence, 4/100 x 360 = 14.4°

Therefore, 100/18 x 18000 = 100000

Therefore, total = 100000
Cost per book = 100000/ 12500 = Rs. 8
Cost per book after realizing profit of 5% = 8 x 1.05 = Rs. 8.40
