COMPREHENSIVE ABILITY

Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the questions below from the alternatives.

I did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card- which is a horror unto itself,
especially as the keeper of the big card was leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on
the spot , a rabbit in the headlights, torn between doing a fun message or some sort of in-joke
or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options available to me, I decided to just
write:”good luck, best Joel”. It was then that I realized, to my horror, that I had forgotten how
to write. My entire existence is “tap letters into my computer”. My shopping lists are hidden
in the notes function of my phone. If I need to remember something I send an e-mail to
myself. A pen is something I chew when I’m struggling to think. Paper is something I pile
beneath the laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to type on. A poll of 1,000
teens by the stationers, Bic found that one in 10 don’t own a pen, a third have never written a
letter, and half of 13 to 19 years- old have never been forced to sit down and write a thank
you letter. More than 80% have never written a love letter, 56% don’t have letter paper at
home. And quarters have never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most
a teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper.

Bic, have you heard of mobile phones? Have you heard of e-mail, Facebook and snap
chatting? This is the future. Pens are dead. Paper is dead. Handwriting is relic.

“Handwriting is one of the most creative outlets we have and should be given the same
importance as other art forms such as sketching, painting and photography”.

101. When confronted with signing big card, the author felt like “a rabbit in the headlight”.
What does this phrase mean?

(A) A state of confusion
(B) A state of Pleasure
(C) A state of Anxiety
(D) A state of pain

102. According to the author, which one is not the most creative outlet of pursuit?

(A) Handwriting
(B) Photography
(C) Sketching
(D) Reading

103. The entire existence of author revolves round:

(A) Computer
(B) Mobile phone
(C) Typewrite
(D) (A) and (B)

Page 25

104. How many teens, as per the Bic survey, do not own a pen?

(A) 800
(B) 560
(C) 500
(D) 100

105. What is the main concern of the author?

(A) That the teens use social networks communication
(B) That the teens use mobile phones
(C) That the teens use computer
(D) That the teens have forgotten the art of hand writing

Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the questions below:

Understanding where you are in the world is a basic survival skill, which is why we, like
most species come hard-wired with specialized brain areas to create cognitive maps of our
surroundings. Where humans are unique, though with the possible exception of honeybees, is
that we try to communicate this understanding of the world with others. We have a long
history of doing this by drawing maps- the earliest versions yet discovered were scrawled on
cave walls 14,000 years ago. Human cultures have been drawing them on stone tablets,
papyrus, paper and now computer screen since.

Given such a long history of human map- making, it is perhaps surprising that it is only
within the last few hundred years that north has been consistently considered to be at the top.
In fact, for much of human history, north almost never appeared at the top, according to Jerry
Brotton, a map historian…. “north was rarely put at the top for the simple fact that north is
where darkness comes from”, he says. “West is also very unlikely to be put at the top because
west is where the sun disappears.”

Confusingly, early Chinese maps seem to buck this trend. Brotton, says, even though they did
have compass at the time, that isn’t the reason that they placed north at the top. Early Chinese
compasses were actually oriented to pint south, which was considered to be more desirable
than deepest darkest north. But in Chinese maps, the emperor, who lived in the north of the
country was always put at the top of the map, with everyone else, his loyal subjects, looking
up towards him. “In Chinese culture the emperor looks south because it’s where the winds
come from, it’s a good direction. North is not very good but you are in a position of
subjection to the emperor, so you look up to him” says Brotton.

Given that each culture has a very different idea of who, or what, they should look up to its
perhaps not surprising that there is very little consistency in which way early maps pointed.
In ancient Egyptian times the top of the world was east, the position of sunrise. Early Islamic
maps favoured south at the top because most of the early Muslim cultures were north mecca,
so they imagined looking (south) towards it. Christian maps from the same era (called Mappa
Mundi) put east at the top, towards the Garden of Eden with Jerusalem in the Centre.

So when did everyone get together and decide that north was the top? It’s tempting to put it
down to European explores like Christopher Colombus and Fedinand Megellan, who were
navigating by the North Star. But Brotton argues that these early explorers didn’t think of the
world like that at all. “when Colombus describes the world is in accordance with east being at
the top”, he says. “Colombus says he is going towards paradise, so his mentality is from a
medieval mappa mundi. “We have got to remember, adds Brotton, that at the time, “no one
knows what they are doing and where they are going”.

Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions:

The Indians as a group are not cohesive. There is a lack of ‘coordination’ among individuals,
groups, institutions and States. This lack of ‘coordination’ may be traced to selfishness, lack
of trust and the inability to find joy in working together as a team for a common goal. This
leads to divisiveness, asking for criticism, with the result images are tarnished and the main
purpose is defeated. This phenomenon is visible among the bureaucrats, the politicians, the
intellectuals, the business community and the sports fraternity, all those who matter and who
give a poor account of themselves as a group despite individual brilliance. This contrast in
human behavior can perhaps be traced to age- old beliefs, religious tolerance, poverty and the
diversity in day-to-day living conditions.

In 776 BC the First Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the

Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions:

Faith in progress is deep within our culture. We have been taught to believe that our lives are
better than the lives of those who came before us. The ideology of modern economics
suggests that material progress has yielded enhanced satisfaction and well-being. But much
of our confidence about our own well-being comes from the assumptions that our lives are
easier than those of earlier generations. The lives of the so- called primitive peoples are
thought to be harsh-their existence dominated by the incessant quest for food. In fact,
primitives did very little work. By contemporary standards we’d have to judge them very
lazy. The key to understanding by the stone-age people failed to act like us increasing their
work effort to get more things- is that they had limited desires. In the race between wanting
and having, they had kept their wanting low-and, in this way ensured their own kind of
satisfaction. They were materially poor by contemporary standards, but in at least one
dimension-time-we have to count them richer.
