Nomophobia, short for "no-mobile-phone phobia," is a modern phenomenon that affects many people in
today's digital age.
What is nomophobia? It is the irrational fear of being without one's mobile phone or being unable to use it.
This condition can cause anxiety and distress, and it highlights the profound impact mobile devices have on our
lives. The fear of losing or being separated from one's phone is a growing concern. Some common situations that
trigger nomophobia include misplacing one's phone, running out of battery, or losing network signal. The fear
intensifies when people imagine not having their phones to contact friends and family, access the internet, or use
GPS for navigation.
Who easily suffers from nomophobia? Nomophobia is not limited to any age group and can affect
individuals of all backgrounds. It often becomes evident when people experience panic or anxiety when they
forget their phones at home or are unable to use them temporarily. Symptoms may include restlessness, rapid
heartbeat, sweating, and a sense of insecurity.
The roots of nomophobia lie in the convenience and connectedness that mobile phones provide. These
devices have become integral to our daily lives, serving as not just communication tools but also cameras,
entertainment hubs, personal organizers, and more. This dependence on mobile phones can lead to a feeling of
vulnerability when separated from them.
Question 23. Which of the following is not mentioned as nomophobia?

Read the following passage about education in Nepal and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Fashion in the 1960s reflected the cultural and political upheaval of the time. The hippie and counterculture
movement gave rise to accessories like Pocahontas-style headbands and medallions worn around the neck.
Hippies wore long, loosely fitting clothing, often in natural fabrics. Hemlines rose as Mary Quant popularized the
miniskirt and hot pants in her lines for JC Penney. And mod fashion, with brightly colored space-age geometric
patterns, shift dresses and colored tights became the mainstream. Both miniskirts and mod-shift dresses were
worn with knee-high go-go boots.
[A] During the 1970s, the loose-fitting hippie clothes of the prior decade gave way to exotic fabrics and bell-
bottom jeans for men and women. Hemlines continued to rise and hot pants continued their popularity, reflecting
the flashy style of the decade. However, the 1970s also saw the popularity of a longer hemline, from mid-calf to
ankle-length. [B] Women wore peasant-style clothing, especially blouses with off-the-shoulder necklines and lace
trim, with their jeans or skirts. [C] Disco fashion emerged, featuring bright patterns and tightly fitting clothing
meant to show off the body. Platform shoes elevated their wearer, male or female, anywhere from two to four
inches or more. [D]
The 1980s saw another fashion upheaval. Angst-ridden punks wore Dr. Marten and steel-toed army boots,
chains, tartan patterns, and bondage pants. Punks focused more on their hair during this period, dying, teasing and
chopping their hair into asymmetric styles that seemed to defy gravity. Women—and men—experimented with
heavy eyeliner in a variety of colors. Women wore neon colors, jelly shoes, tight jeans, leggings, leg warmers and
oversized sweatshirts. Menswear-inspired looks also became popular for both sexes. Men wore ‘power suits,’
named so for their price, which made these suits a reflection of the wealth of the wearer. Women’s jackets featured
big shoulder pads that made the shoulders appear higher and larger, similar to the male silhouette.
1990’s fashion was far more subdued than the garish, wild styles of the 1980s. Bands like Nirvana influenced
the grunge look, which featured rock-concert tee shirts under plaid flannel shirts, jeans and long, greasy hair.
Overalls were worn by both sexes, either with one or both shoulder straps unhooked. The punk style of the 1870s
and 1980s evolved into the goth fashion trend, which featured black clothing, black boots and studded bracelets in
the style of bands like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.

C. Both men and women liked to wear clothes that drew inspiration from menswear.
D. Women and men were inspired to wear the popular clothing of the opposite sex.
