Question 1

The author calls sparrow a friendly bird because ______.

Accepted Answer

We had a splendid time. . . . their spotty feathers, these lines imply that sparrows have always been around humans and humans have enjoyed gazing at them and have even written poems about them. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 'they have been among humans always'. The other three options are a subset of option D.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

The passage primarily discusses:

Accepted Answer

The correct answer regarding the passage is Option D.

The passage mentioned above mentions points from both sides of the coin, which evaluates the age of technology as it is. It gives an
insight to how technology can act as a guide to all the information that one
needs. It is easily accessible as well, and quite cost effective, making it far
reaching and good. While on the other side, privacy has been compromised as the cost for the same. The passage goes to explain how one doesn’t mind even if
something happens while on the quest in this age of information.

Thus, in Option A and B, individual features of pros and
cons are described and Option C talks about the age of technology.

The correct answer, though, is Option D, which speaks of all
the above mentioned three Options and sums it up completely.

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.

Accepted Answer

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
