Q: Select the option that best completes the sentence:Adding genes to crops will _______________

The correct answer to complete the sentence is Option B. The passage mainly speaks about GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and its effects if consumed by humans. While one section of the people say that genetic techniques are helping the food industry, the others, especially people associated with food safety, say otherwise. In the second sentence itself, it is mentioned that the GMOs are added to the food to keep the food protected from insects of herbicides, which is mentioned in Option B. The other Options A, C and D are not mentioned even once in the paragraph, hence making them null in completing the sentence.

Q: Which of the following statements show that watching sparrows was fun for the author?

The statement "children sat gazing at them..." shows it was fun to watch sparrows. It is not mentioned in the passage that all the activities mentioned in option A, C, and D were fun for the author to watch.

Q: People may be more willing to accept Surti's services as he ________.

The most appropriate answer to complete the sentence is Option A. In the first paragraph itself, there is a mention about Mr. Abid Surti going door to door along with a plumber and an assistant. The passage clearly states the willingness of people when the services offered are free, and that too something of least importance according to them. Another reason is the fact that certain lower class families cannot afford to pay for a plumber, and here they get a chance to hire one for free. Thus, as mentioned in Option A, people are willing to accept services by Mr. Surti, in the assistance of a plumber. The other options B, C and D, are not the reasons why people are more willing to accept Surit's services (at least we do not have the evidence to prove that in the passage) hence eliminating them as answers.

Q: Surti's primary mission is to ________.

The correct answer for the question asked is Option B. The passage talks about the National award winning author, Abid Surti and his efforts towards ensuring one of the major problems that Mumbai, as well as the world in a macro aspect is facing right now: Water wastage. The reason, why he does this and how far reaching his efforts are, forms the crux of the passage. Option B, speaks of checking water wastage, which is clear from his efforts of going from door to door, to check whether there are any cases of loose pipes. This is an initiative towards ensuring less water wastage. The other options A, C and D are not in accordance with what Mr. Surti actually aims to do, but are only branches of what his mission actually is, hence eliminating them as answers.

Q: The "______loudest public food fight ________" suggests that.

The correct answer to complete the sentence is Option D. The passage mainly speaks about GMO(Genetically Modified Organisms), and its effects if consumed by humans. While one section of the people say that genetic techniques are helping the food industry, the others, specially the food safety people, say otherwise. The first sentence itself speaks about the unrest that is waging an argument between two sections, i.e., the people who support GMO and the others who don’t. Of the many public outbursts regarding food safety and other norms, the one including GMO is the latest, which is mentioned in Option D The other options, A, B and C, describe public, scientists and GMO’s competition and fights which is not described in the passage.
