Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

 


To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone, no superhuman brain is required. A few simple rules will keep you free, not from all errors, but from silly errors. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted. Thinking that you know when in fact you do not is a bad mistake, to which we are all prone. I believe myself that hedgehogs eat black beetles, because I have been told that they do; but if I were writing a book on the habits of hedgehogs, I should not commit myself until I had seen one enjoying this diet. Aristotle, however, was less cautious. Ancient and medieval writers knew all about unicorns and salamanders; not one of them thought it necessary to avoid dogmatic statements about them because he had never seen one of them.

 

The author implies that

 

A) he has never seen hedgehogs eating beetles B) hedgehogs eat only black beetles
C) they do not eat black beetles D) he is writing a book on hedgehogs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) he has never seen hedgehogs eating beetles

Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :Jumbo, the famous 3.3 metre elephant was born in Africa over a hundred years ago.
S6:Before his death in September 1882, he had been seen by over 20 million Americans.
P:After disembarkation in New York, he was taken in a procession to the place where he was to be kept.
Q:Another admirer was the famous American showman Barnum who bought it for a huge sum in February 1882.
R:Transported from his native land to London Zoo, he became a favourite of Queen Victoria.
S:He made his transatlantic voyage aboard SS Assyrian Monarch.

The proper sequence should be 

A) P Q R S  B) S R Q P
C) P S R Q D) R Q S P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R Q S P

Explanation:

The starting statement is talking about the birth of a 3 –3 metre elephant –Jumbo. So, the connecting statement would be discussing what happened after the birth. So statement R would be the next statement as it describes that he was transported to London; So, R being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is RQSP.
