Question 96.A passage is given with 5 questions
following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the
best answer to each question out of the four alternatives
and click the button corresponding to it.

Modern civilisation is completely dependent on energy,
which has therefore to be abundant and also economical.
About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal
and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar
power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and
hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while
natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used
both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is
the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources.
Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes
oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500
people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of
sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport
food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we
live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According
to data available if oil production remains constant until
it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will
produce less as they become depleted, which will make it
impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural
gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years
respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they
become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If
we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a
transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition

Page 67

may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours.

The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be
very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more
difficult if it is not anticipated. It is of utmost importance
that the public and policymakers understand the global
energy crisis and act in tandem to ensure that the species
'homo sapiens' does not become extinct.

1) Changing Lives

3) Energy Resources
4) Power in Today's world

The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be
very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more
difficult if it is not anticipated. It is of utmost importance
that the public and policymakers understand the global
energy crisis and act in tandem to ensure that the species
'homo sapiens' does not become extinct.

The synonym for Ubiquitous is
1) Omnipotent
2) Omnifarious
3) Omniscient
4) Omnipresent
Correct Answer: Omnipresent
Candidate Answer: Omnipresent

Question 99.A passage is given with 5 questions
following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the
best answer to each question out of the four alternatives
and click the button corresponding to it.

Modern civilisation is completely dependent on energy,
which has therefore to be abundant and also economical.
About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal
and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar
power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and
hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while
natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used
both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is
the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources.
Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes
oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500

people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of
sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport
food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we
live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According
to data available if oil production remains constant until
it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will
produce less as they become depleted, which will make it
impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural
gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years
respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they
become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If
we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a
transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition
may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours.

that the public and policymakers understand the global

The energy sources of the future are
1) nuclear and hydro power
2) coal and natural gas
3) wind and solar power
4) oil and biomass
Correct Answer: wind and solar power
Candidate Answer: wind and solar power
