PARAGRAPH COMPLETION 1) THE INTERNATIONAL AIDS conference held in Bangkok in July 2004 witnessed intense debates around the response to AIDS. Although prevention was widely discussed, it was not the central issue it used to be. It became clear during the conference that the theme "Access for All" really meant treatment. For sure, massive scale up of treatment programmes is a moral and practical imperative - it will save lives and protect the economies of mny countries by keeping alive their most productive populations. India too, has announced plans to roll out treatment. ________________________________ 1. India has to ackknowledge the implications of greatly expanded access to anti-retroviral treatment. 2. Hundreads of thousands will need to remain on treatment for life. 3. Yet, prevention will still need to remain the first line of defence in its quest to stop the spread of the epidemic. 4. New infections will add hundreads of thousands more to the 'treatment list' each year. 5. The treatment will be a huge financial burden on the government. 2) In opposing government regulation of business, conservatives often appeal to the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government, expressing the wish that government would “get off the backs of the American people.” Yet, paradoxically, many of these same conservatives address questions of private morality, such as those dealing with sexual behavior, by calling for______ (A) a return to the restrictive sexual morality of the Victorian era (B) a strengthening of the role of the family in setting moral norms for society (C) a limitation on the amount of sexually provocative material appearing in books, motives, and television shows (D) greater freedom for individuals to choose their own way of handling sexual issues (E) an increased governmental role in the regulation and control of private sexual behavior 3) Why do people X raise peanuts and sorghum? The internal Malinowskian explanation would be to meet their basic human need for food. The external, socio-ecological explanation would be because peanuts and sorghum are the only food crops available in their eco-zone that, when cultivated, will meet their subsistence needs. Both these answers are suggestive, but they are also incomplete. _______________ 1. Malinowski has no other source of occupation except cultivation of food crops peanuts and sorghum that can allow people to survive. 2. People X in Malinowski have known for ages that their ecological balance would be disturbed if they opted for producing food grains like wheat or rice. 3. To a certain level, people feel the need to eat things that are easily digested keeping the local climate in mind. 4. To be sure, people must consume something to survive, and they will usually meet this need by exploiting plant and animal species locally available. 4) African American children who speak the vernacular form of African American English may be the only English-speaking children in the country who attend community schools in which teachers not only are ignorant of their dialect but refuse to accept its existence. This attitude leads to children being marginalized and designated as learning disabled. When children go to school they bring not only their homework and text books but also their language, culture and identity.____________________ 1. Teachers who discriminate in imparting education to the African American children should be strictly reprimanded as to their callous attitude. 2. Sooner rather than later, the educational system must address its exclusion of cultural and dialect difference in teacher training and school curriculum. 3. The onus lies with the educators to address the needs of these learning disabled African American students through proper training and better school curriculum. 4. The education department should ensure that new schools are set up to look at the issues related to imparting proper education to the students who speak the vernacular form of African American English. 5) Ethnocentrism is the term anthropologists use to describe the opinion that one's own way of life is natural or correct, indeed the only way of being fully human. Ethnocentrism is one solution to the inevitable tension between one cultural self and another cultural self. It reduces the other way of life to a distorted version of one's own. If our way is right, then their way can only be wrong. At best, their truth is a distorted truth: at worst, it is an outright falsehood. __________________________ 1. Of course, from their perspective, we are ignorant fools who are not ready to accept a superior version of life as theirs. 2. Indeed, from our perspective, we are superior to them in understanding the meaning of life as it naturally is. 3. Of course, from their perspective, our way of life may seem to be a distortion of theirs. 4. But, from their perspective, there can be no possible distortion of the truth but mere falsehood as implied by us. |

| Option (1) is incorrect. The paragraph does not in any way suggest that people X depend on cultivation of food crops for their survival and agriculture is the only occupation open to them. Option (2) is incorrect. The paragraph does not in any way suggest that the people X know about this possible disturbance to the ecological balance. Option (3) is incorrect. It is not about digestion but the availability that needs to be considered. Option (4) is correct. It follows that people necessarily look for consumption of those food crops that are easily available locally as they must consume something to survive |

Bracken fern has been spreading from its woodland strongholds for centuries, but the rate of encroachment into open countryside has lately increased alarmingly throughout northern and western Britain. A tough competitor, bracken reduces the value of grazing land by crowding out other vegetation. The fern is itself poisonous to livestock, and also encourages proliferation of sheep ticks, which not only attack sheep but also transmit diseases. No less important to some people are bracken‘s effects on threatened habitats and on the use of uplands for recreational purposes, even though many appreciate its beauty. Biological controls may be the only economic solution. One potentially cheap and self-sustaining method of halting the spread of bracken is to introduce natural enemies of the plant. Initially unrestrained by predators of their own, foreign predators are likely to be able to multiply rapidly and overwhelm intended targets. Because bracken occurs throughout the world, there is plenty of scope for this approach. Two candidates, both moths from the Southern Hemisphere, are now being studied. Of course, biological control agents can safely be released only if it can be verified that they feed solely on the target weed. The screening tests have so far been fraught with difficulties. The first large shipment of moths succumbed to a disease. Growing enough bracken indoors is difficult, and the moths do not readily exploit cut stems. These are common problems with rearing insects for biological control. Other problems can be foreseen. Policymakers need to consider many factors and opinions such as the cost of control compared to existing methods, and the impact of the clearance of bracken on the landscape, wildlife, and vegetation. In fact, scientists already have much of the information needed to assess the impact of biological control of bracken, but it is spread among many individuals, organizations, and government bodies. The potential gains for the environment are likely to outweigh the losses because few plants, insects, mammals, and birds live associated only with bracken, and many would benefit from a return of other vegetation or from a more diverse mosaic of habitats. But legal consequences of attempts at biological control present a potential minefield. For example, many rural tenants still have the right of ―estoyers,‖ the right to cut bracken as bedding for livestock and uses. What would happen if they were deprived of these rights? Once a biological control agent is released, it is difficult to control its speed. What consideration is due landowners who do not want to control bracken? According to law, the release of the biological control agents must be authorized by the secretary of state for the environment. But Britain lacks the legal and administrative machinery to assemble evidence for and against release. 17. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? (A) Studies suggest that biological control of bracken will not be technically feasible. (B) Although biological control appears to be the best solution to bracken infestation, careful assessment of the consequences is required. (C) Environmentalists are hoping that laboratory technicians will find a way to raise large numbers of moths in captivity. (D) Bracken is currently the best solution to the proliferation of nonnative moth species. (E) Even after researchers discover the most economical method of pest control, the government has no authority to implement a control program. 18. According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about sheep ticks? (A) They increase where bracken spreads. (B) They are dangerous only to sheep. (C) They are especially adapted to woodland. (D) They have no natural enemies. (E) They cause disease among bracken. 19. The author cites all of the following as disadvantages of bracken encroachment EXCEPT: (A) Bracken is poisonous to farm animals. (B) Bracken inhibits the growth of valuable vegetation. (C) Bracken indirectly helps spread certain diseases. (D) Bracken is aesthetically objectionable. (E) Bracken disturbs habitats that some people would like to protect. 20. The final paragraph can best be described as (A) a summation of arguments presented in previous paragraphs (B) the elimination of competing arguments to strengthen a single remaining conclusion (C) an enumeration of advantages to biological control (D) an expansion of the discussion from the particular example of bracken control to the general problem of government regulation (E) an overview of the variety of factors requiring further assessment 21. It can be inferred from the passage that it is advantageous to choose as the biological control agent a predator that is foreign to the targeted environment for which of the following reasons? (A) Conservation groups prefer not to favor one native species over another. (B) All local predators have already been overwhelmed by the target species. (C) Local predators cannot be effectively screened since they already exist in the wild. (D) There is little risk of an artificially introduced foreign predator multiplying out of control. (E) Native predator species are generally limited by their own predators. 22. It can be inferred from the passage that the screening tests performed on the biological control agent are designed primarily to determine (A) its effectiveness in eliminating the target species (B) the response of local residents to its introduction (C) the risk it poses to species other than the target (D) its resistance to the stress of shipment (E) the likelihood of its survival indoors 23. As it is discussed in the passage, the place of bracken within the forest habitat can best be described as (A) rapidly expanding (B) the subject of controversy (C) well established (D) circumscribed by numerous predators (E) a significant nutrient source |
