Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Taekwondo is a form of empty hand martial arts combat that requires the athlete to use all parts of the body in
competition. Taekwondo is a self-defence discipline; the name is derived from the Korean words ‘tae’, meaning
kick, ‘kwon’, a punch or other blow with the hand or fist, and ‘do’, which is a way or method of operation. Among
the general public, taekwondo is distinguished from other martial arts by its high speed, sweeping kicks and
emphatic punches. As with judo, taekwondo was developed as a sport that is also representative of a moral code,
where principles of loyalty, faithfulness, respect, and the preservation of an indomitable spirit form a significant
part of taekwondo training. Beginning in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II and Japanese Occupation,
new martial arts schools called kwans opened in Seoul. These schools were established by Korean martial artists
with backgrounds in Japanese and Chinese martial arts. At the time, indigenous disciplines (such as Taekkyeon)
were being forgotten, due to years of decline and repression by the Japanese colonial government. The umbrella
term traditional Taekwondo typically refers to the martial arts practiced by the kwans during the 1940s and
1950s, though in reality the term ‘Taekwondo’ had not yet been coined at that time, and indeed each kwan
(school) was practicing its own unique style of the Korean art.

Environmental or genetic influences antisocial conduct of a human being , which has an impact on behaviour, such
as conduct disorder. In a recent study conducted, young people with conduct disorders had their brains
examined, along with controls that were healthy and did not have the disease. The thickness of various regions of
the cortex and the brain’s outer layer was measured using the scanned images. It was demonstrated in the study

experienced early-onset behavioural issues were thicker in comparison to the healthy participants.

the study.

distinct regions in their cortex.

behavioural issues.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Leadership does not exist without followership. A leader has to be accepted by the group which the former is
supposed to lead. To gain acceptability, the leader should cause an emotive impact on the group members. The
strength of character exhibited by leaders makes them dear to their followers. A leader is one who effectively
inspires followers to achieve worthwhile things. What character of the leader motivates the followers? It is not
pomp and show, neither flattery nor sanctioning more incentives. Pomp and show creates a sense of awe and the
leader is deified rather as emulated. Flattery is unrealistic and cannot serve as a long-term motivational tool. A
leader’s style should be one that can be emulated by all irrespective of cadre, class and calibre. Simplicity in one’s
day- to- day conduct is the only thing that can be adopted by all.

Q.33)- Which of the following desired qualities of a leader is mentioned in the passage?

1. Simplicity 2. Deified 3. Pomp and show 4. Flattery

Q.34)- Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.


Emulate

1. Relax 2. Imitate 3. Suppose 4. Exhibit

Q.35)- According to the passage, why should the leader generate an emotive impact?

1. To exhibit the character of his followers


2. To mould the character of a leader

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

In 1888, an Atlantic contributor made the case for a “science of names.”


“Parents are strangely careless and unscientific in giving names to children,” the contributor complained. “They
forget that not only from the social point of view it is very advantageous to have one’s name remembered, but that
from the business point of view notoriety is capital, and must be obtained by persistent and ingenious
advertising.” Indeed, the contributor argued, a good name will give a child “a start in life equivalent to a cash
capital of at least fifteen thousand dollars.” One way to ensure this head start? “Be guided by euphonic quality
only.”
Although not all of this contributor’s guidance can or should still apply today, the importance of a name to a
child’s identity has stayed front of mind for many parents. A name can determine whether a child fits in or stands
out—and many parents differ on which of those outcomes is preferable.

Q.37)- According to the contributor, the parents are strangely careless and unscientific in giving names to
children because ________.

1. they do it without considering the business point of view


2. they do it without discussing it with their relatives and friends
3. they do it without considering the actual meaning of the name
4. they do it without considering the latter’s interest in it

Q.38)- Select the most appropriate word in the passage which means ‘pleasing and sweet sound’.

1. Identity 2. Advantageous 3. Outcomes 4. Euphonic

Q.39)- What will be given to a child if he gets a good name?

1. A good bank balance 2. A perfect address 3. A professional attitude


4. A headstart in life

Q.40)- What is the tone of the speaker in the passage?

1. Humorous 2. Sarcastic 3. Persuasive 4. Melancholic
