Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
-Invictus

Two major developments have bolstered scientists' confidence that the answers lie within their grasp. The first is the enormous progress made in cosmology - the study of the large-scale structure and evolution of the universe. ____________________
- If almost any of the basic features of the universe, from the properties of atoms to the distribution of the galaxies, were different, life would very probably be impossible.
- These spectacular advances hint at a much grander synthesis: nothing less than a complete and unified description of nature, a final ‘theory of everything’ in which a flawless account of the entire physical world is encompassed within a single explanatory scheme.
- Why are we here? How did the universe begin? How will it end? How is the world put together? Why is it the way it is?
- Observations made using satellites, the Hubble Space Telescope, and sophisticated ground-based instruments have combined to transform our view of the universe and the place of human beings within it.
- For all of recorded human history, people have sought answers to such ‘ultimate’ questions in religion and philosophy, or declared them to be completely beyond human comprehension.

RC:
In 1497, while Luca Pacioli was lecturing in Milan, he met Leonardo da Vinci. They struck up a firm friendship, so much so that Luca and Leonardo were soon sharing lodgings. Leonardo had long been interested in the geometrical problems of perspective, but this was small beer to Pacioli, and it was he who introduced Leonardo to the hard stuff of real mathematics. Leonardo was initially bamboozled. Here was a challenge the equal of his voracious intellect. He at once began to teach himself this new subject, availing himself of expert tuition from his fellow lodger. No other person was to have such a transforming effect on Leonardo's mind. From now on in his notebooks we see Leonardo's attempts to come to grips with multiplication and fractions. He works out how they exhibit themselves in the proportions of perspective, and moves on to precisely sketched geometric sections of spheres and sliced polyhedrons. He also attempts arithmetical problems. We can imagine the messianically bearded sage (of the celebrated self-portrait) sitting perplexed beside the beefy-faced monk with the still, penetrating eye (of the portrait in Naples) as together they pore over a sheet of figures. At one point in his notebooks, Leonardo tells himself that he must 'learn the multiplication of the roots from maestro Luca'. It is heartening to imagine one of the finest mathematicians of his time instructing one of the finest minds of all time in multiplication tables which many of us have now mastered by the age of seven.
Studying the works of Piero della Francesca, Leonardo saw the mathematical principle lying behind the painted appearance. Despite being a mathematician, Pacioli saw a different world: the fluidity of society well before it solidifies into art. The ordering principle, which lay beneath the painted appearances and coloured cheeks which he observed, was money. Mathematics was much more than mere abstraction, more even than the divine proportions of art - it was also the delineation of money.
In his masterpiece, Summa de Arithmetica, Geometrica, Proportion et Proportionalita, Pacioli described all mathematical knowledge. Or at least he attempted to. In those days the attempt to comprehend all human knowledge was still considered a plausible individual aim. Pacioli embraced everything from the pure mathematical knowledge of the ancient Greeks to the latest makeshift measurements of the movements of the heavenly bodies - as astronomy groped its way towards the findings of Copernicus. It was this incorporation of the works of others which led Vasari to say that Pacioli 'gave himself fine feathers'. This judgement, more than any, caused Pacioli to be overlooked by posterity as a mere plagiarist. But Vasari missed the point: Pacioli didn't claim all this knowledge as his own. He was an encyclopaedist rather than a plagiarist.
The section in the Summa which remains of most interest to us is Particularis de Computis et Scripturis (Details of Book-keeping and Ledgers). This contained his explanation of double-entry book-keeping. It may not have been original, but it was the most comprehensive and comprehensible account yet to appear. Indicatively, like the rest of the book, it was written in Italian, the vulgar language of the people, not the Latin of scholars. This was for the use of businessmen and merchants, men not necessarily educated in anything but the subtle ways and time-honoured practices of commerce.
In essence, Pacioli's version of double-entry book-keeping required each transaction to be entered into the ledger twice - as a debit in the left-hand column and a credit in the right-hand column. At any time a line could be drawn under both columns to see if they balanced out, thus revealing any inadvertent or less innocent mistakes in the accounts. Pacioli's method of double-entry book-keeping also facilitated the calculation of the profit or loss in a business at any given time, or over any given period. Such was the marvellous power and utility of this method that its very jargon entered everyday language. Profit and loss, assets and liabilities, balance sheets, debit and credit, bottom line. Amidst the ebb and flow of commerce, the tide of currency could momentarily be frozen into icily precise figures. The process of business could now be subject to mathematical scrutiny and control.
1.Which of the following best summarizes the first para of the passage?
a)Pacioli met Leonardo in Milan and taught him mathematics. His own interest and his tutor's guidance helped to broaden Leonardo's perspective.
b)At Milan, Pacioli and Leonardo quickly became close friends and discussed Mathematics and art at length.
c)Leonardo da Vinci was one of Pacioli's students in Milan. Leonardo illustrated Pacioli's Summa and Pacioli taught him the mathematics of art.
d)Pacioli and da Vinci spent time together and Pacioli taught him geometry which appears in many of da Vinci's masterpieces.
2.The style of the passage is
a)expository b)hortatory c)narrative d)descriptive
3.The passage describes Pacioli's mathematics as which of the following?
a)The geometry of art
b)The mathematics of proportion and accounting
c)The algebra of finance
d)The monetary basis of society

Deborah Mayo is a philosopher of science who has attempted to capture the implications of the new experimentalism in a philosophically rigorous way. Mayo focuses on the detailed way in which claims are validated by experiment, and is concerned with identifying just what claims are borne out and how. A key idea underlying her treatment is that a claim can only be said to be supported by experiment if the various ways in which the claim could be as fault have been investigated and eliminated. A claim can only be said to be borne out by experiment, and a severe test of a claim, as usefully construed by Mayo, must be such that the claim would be unlikely to pass it if it were false.
Her idea can be explained by some simple examples. Suppose Snell's law of refraction of light is tested by some very rough experiments in which very large margins of error are attributed to the measurements of angles of incidence and refraction, and suppose that the results are shown to be compatible with the law within those margins of error. Has the law been supported by experiments that have severely tested it? From Mayo's perspective the answer is no because, owing to the roughness of the measurements, the law of refraction would be quite likely to pass this test even if it were false and some other law differing not too much from Snell's law true. An exercise I carried out in my school-teaching days serves to drive this point home. My students had conducted some not very careful experiments to test Snell's law. I then presented them with some alternative laws of refraction that had been suggested in antiquity and mediaeval times, prior to the discovery of Snell's law, and invited the students to test them with the measurements they had used to test Snell's law; because of the wide margins of error they had attributed to their measurements, all of these alternative laws pass the test. This clearly brings out the point that the experiments in question did not constitute a severe test of Snells law. The law would have passed the test even if it were false and one of the historical alternatives true.
1) Which of the following conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
(A) Experimental data might support multiple theoretical explanations at the same time, hence validity of theories needs to be tested further.
(B) Precise measurement is a sufficient condition to ensure validity of conclusions resulting from an experiment.
(C) Precise measurement is both a necessary and sufficient condition to ensure validity of conclusions resulting from an experiment.
(D) Precise measurement along with experimenters knowledge of the theory underpinning the experiment is sufficient to ensure the validity of conclusions drawn from experiments.
(E) All of these
2) As per Mayo's perspective, which of the following best defines the phrase scientific explanation?
(A) One which is most detailed in its explanation of natural phenomena.
(B) One which has been thoroughly tested by scientific experts.
(C) One which survives examinations better than other explanations.
(D) One which refutes other explanations convincingly.
(E) All of these.
3) The authors use of Snell's law of refraction to illustrate Mayo's perspective can best said to be
(A) Contrived.
(B) Premeditated.
(C) Superfluous.
(D) Illustrative.
(E) Inadequate.
