Q. 2. DIRECTION for Question: The passage given below is followed by a questions. Choose the best answer to the question.
I TAKE goodness in this sense, the affecting of the weal of men, which is that the Grecians callphilanthropia ; and the word humanity (as it is used) is a little too light to express it. Goodness I call the habit, and goodness of nature the inclination. This of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest; being the character of the Deity: and without it man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing; no better than a kind of vermin. Goodness answers to the theological virtue charity, and admits no excess, but error. The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall: but in charity there is no excess; neither can angel nor man come in danger by it. The inclination to goodness is imprinted deeply in the nature of man; insomuch that if it is issue not towards men, it will take unto other living creatures: as it is seen in the Turks, a group of cruel people, who is nevertheless are kind to beasts, and give alms to dogs and birds: insomuch as Busbechius reporteth, a Christian boy in Constantinople had like to have been stoned for gagging in a waggishness a long-billed fowl. Errors indeed in this virtue of goodness or charity may be committed. The Italians have an ungracious proverb, Tanto buon che val niente [So good, that he is good for nothing]. And one of the doctors of Italy, Nicholas Manchiavel, had the confidence to put in writing, almost in plain terms that the Christian faith had given up good men in prey to those that are tyrannical and unjust. Which he spake, because indeed there was never any law or sect or opinion that did so much to magnify goodness as the Christian religion doth. Therefore, to avoid the scandal and the danger both, it is good to take knowledge of the errors of habit so excellent. Seek the good of other men, but be not in bondage to their faces or fancies: for that is but facility or softness; which taketh honest mind prisoner.
Why does the author mention the example of the Christian boy?a. To prove the point that even if a person is not good to his fellow beings, he will show kindness to other living beings.
b. To prove that social pressure can ensure goodness and righteous living.
c. To show that the might of religion is greater than that of society.
d. To show that things can take an ugly turn if goodness is not complied with.
e. To show the influence of morality in our lives.
Answer the question based on the passage given below. Fossil-fuel companies have lobbied hard - and often successfully - against effective climate policies. But a recent report by the environmental research group CDP revealed that at least 29 major companies, including five major oil producers, are b...asing their internal planning on the assumption that such policies - specifically, a government-mandated carbon price - will be a reality as soon as 2020. The question now is whether oil-producing countries' governments and citizens share this expectation. World leaders are ostensibly committed to keeping the increase in average global temperature below 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels - the threshold beyond which the most catastrophic effects of global warming would be triggered. Indeed, they endorsed the limit at the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, and again in Cancún the following year.
In the light of the above passage, which of the following is the most relevant question that the author ought to answer?
OPTIONS
1) Why does the success of fossil fuel companies' planning depend on the expectations of oil-producing countries' governments and their citizens'?
2) Will the oil producers' lobby divest funds from fossil fuels?
3) What could be a reason behind the global leaders' avowed commitment to keeping the increase in average global temperature below 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels?
4) Is the report of the environmental research group CDP credible?

The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question. Descendents of the Maya living in Mexico still sometimes refer to themselves as 'the corn people'. The phrase is not intended as a metaphor. Rather, it's meant to acknowledge their abiding dependence on this miraculous grass—the staple of their diet for almost nine thousand years. Forty percent of the calories a Mexican eats in a day come directly from corn, most of it in the form of tortillas. The very substance of the Mexican's body is, to a considerable extent, a manifestation of this plant. For an American like me, (growing up linked to a very different food chain, yet one that is also rooted in a field of corn) not to think of himself as a corn person suggests either a failure of imagination or a triumph of capitalism. Or perhaps, a little of both. It does take some imagination to recognize the ear of corn in the Coke bottle or the Big Mac.
You are what you eat, it's often said, and if this is true, then what we mostly are is corn - or, more precisely, processed corn. After water, carbon is the most common chemical in our bodies - indeed, in all living things on earth. During the process of photosynthesis, the green cells of plants combine carbon atoms taken from the air with water and elements drawn from the soil to form the simple organic compounds that stand at the base of every food chain.
Scientists can tell that a given carbon atom in a human bone owes its presence there due to corn, on the basis of the isotope of that atom. Corn takes in relatively more of the carbon isotope called carbon 13 rather than the more common carbon 12. The higher the ratio of carbon 13 to carbon 12 in a person's flesh, the more corn has been in his diet - or in the diet of the animals he or she ate. (As far as we're concerned, it makes little difference whether we consume relatively more or less carbon 13.)
One would expect to find a comparatively high proportion of carbon 13 in the flesh of people whose staple food of choice is corn - Mexicans, most famously. Americans eat much more wheat than corn - 114 pounds of wheat flour per person per year, compared to 11 pounds of corn flour. The Europeans who colonized America regarded themselves as wheat people, in contrast to the native corn people they encountered. But carbon 13 doesn't lie, and researchers who have compared the isotopes in the flesh or hair of Americans to those in the same tissues of Mexicans report that it is now we Americans who are the true people of corn. Compared to us, Mexicans today consume a far more varied carbon diet: the animals they eat still eat grass (until recently, Mexicans regarded feeding corn to livestock as a sacrilege); much of their protein comes from legumes; and they still sweeten their beverages with cane sugar. So that's us: processed corn, walking.
Question: 1.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
1) To demonstrate that you are what you eat.
2) To suggest that Americans should eat a more varied diet
3) To argue that Mexicans cannot be truly called 'the corn people'
4) To show that Americans' diets are more corn-based than those of Mexicans
Question: 2 The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question. 'It does take some imagination to recognize the ear of corn in the Coke bottle or the Big Mac.' What does the author mean by this statement?
1) He grew up on a diet that consisted primarily of corn in the form of Coke and Big Macs.
2) He is unaware of the fact that corn is used to make fast food such as Coke and Big Macs.
3) Coke and Big Macs contain a substantial amount of processed corn, but not in a visually obvious form.
4) The capitalist economy has succeeded in hiding the role of corn in popular foods such as Coke and Big Macs.
Question: 3 The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question. Which of the following cannot be inferred about corn from this passage?
1) Corn is a type of grass.
2) An overabundance of corn in one's diet is not healthy.
3) Americans feed corn to the livestock they rear for meat.
4) Corn has been growing in North America for thousands of years.
