Q:

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


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.

 

Which of the following movies is about kindness of Aliens?

A) Hacksaw Ridge B) Arrival
C) Fences D) Moonlight
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Arrival

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

The teacher as well as his wife were invited.

A) was invited  B) were also invited
C) were being invited D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) was invited 

Explanation:

‘Were’ needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because, ‘If the subjects are joined by as well as, with, along with, together with, and not, in addition to, but, besides, except, rather than, accompanied by, like, unlike, no less than, nothing but, led by, headed by, guided by, controlled by,governed by,etc.. Then the verb will agree with the first subject. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘The teacher as well as his wife was invited’.

Q:

Yellow colour of papaya is due to

A) Caricaxanthin B) Carotene
C) Lycopene D) Papain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Caricaxanthin

Explanation:

Papayas are yellow due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll pigments i.e, Caricaxanthin present in the chromoplasts of the fruit pulp.

 

The coloration of the different tissues in plants is due to the plastids which are present in the cells. Leucoplasts are white in colour, chloroplasts are green in colour and chromoplasts are of various colours. These plastids can take any colour at different time. Therefore, green fruits ( chloroplasts) turn colurful (chromoplasts) at maturity.
