Everyone expected Mary Zophres to win for her retro-revival Technicolor clothes in La La Land — the eventual winner, Colleen Atwood for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, seemed surprised too. But as other awards began to slip away from the well-reviewed musical, a theme could be teased out. What is Fantastic Beasts if not a plea for equal treatment of people, magical or otherwise? Then, Arrival, a film about the inherent benignity of aliens (read immigrants) won for Best Sound Editing. Hacksaw Ridge, which is, in a way, an anti-guns movie, won in two categories. Fences, about an African-American father who fears racial discrimination, took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Earlier, Moonlight, featuring two minority communities (black and gay), won for Best Supporting Actor. This turned out to be one of those years the Oscar voter was underestimated. As a majority of voters are actors, there was the tendency to think they'd reward La La Land, a celebration of creation: the heroine wants to make movies, the hero wants to make jazz. It looked like the year of The Artist all over again.

 

What does the lead female actor in La La Land want to do?

A) Make jazz B) Make movies
C) Make music D) Make magic
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Make movies

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Prebiotics are the lesser-known gut-health promoters which serve as food for good bacteria inside the gut. "We found that dietary prebiotics can improve non-REM (random eye movement) sleep, as well as REM sleep after a stressful event," said Robert Thompson, a PhD researcher at University of Colorado Boulder in the U.S. Prebiotics are dietary fibres found naturally in foods like artichokes, raw garlic, leeks and onions.

When beneficial bacteria digest prebiotic fibre, they not only multiply, improving overall gut health, but they also release metabolic by-products. Researchers fed three-week-old male rats a diet of either standard chow or chow that included prebiotics. They then monitored the rats' body temperature, gut bacteria and sleep-wake cycles — using electroencephalogram (EEG), or brain activity testing over time. Findings revealed that the rats on the prebiotic diet spent more time in non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, which is restful and restorative, than those on the non-prebiotic diet.


What type of sleep is restorative?

A) NREM B) REM
C) EEG D) ECG
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) NREM

Q:

Statement I :

Bioaccumulation is a process of progressive accumulation of heavy metals and pesticides in an organism.

Statement II :

Large fishes of the pond are found to have higher concentration of pesticides than planktons of the same pond.

 

A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

Explanation:

Bioaccumulation is defined as the increase in concentration of a substance(s) in an organism or a part of that organism.

The affected organism has a higher concentration of the substance than the concentration in the organism's surrounding environment.

For the second statement: Microorganisms eat pesticide infected things. Invertebrates eat hundreds of the microorganisms and plants infected with the pesticides, accumulating a pretty large amount of the toxin in them.

The invertebrates are generally then eaten by larger invertebrates or amphibians, which ingest hundreds of similar organisms, accumulating an even higher concentration of toxins in their bodies. Then the fish eat hundreds of these organisms, accumulating the highest concentration of toxins in themselves.
