Therefore, this option is also not correct Option D: The last paragraph mentions that ‘it didn matter ‘Fit was made up of not. We can iner from tis that Zeising’s theories were made up according to the author but stl became extremely popula.

The author mentions that Zesing found an exemple of golden rato in the human body, However, Devin states that "When measuring anyting es complex as the human body its easy to come up witn examples of ratos that are very ear to 1.8" Caton A: Inthe ttd paragraph the passage siates that because ofthe decimal points, ‘fs impossbe for anything In te rea-word 1 fal into the golden rato, because t's an iational number: However, he does not present ths a5 an ‘argument fo counter Zeising’s dim. Therefore, ths is not the correct answer. Option B: The author does not mention that any complex system can be defined by a specifi ratio, He mertions that ina complex system (lke the humen body), examples can be found to satisfy any rato (incuing the golden rate). Hence, ths opin is incorrect. Option C: According to Devin, iti easy to come up wth examples of ratios that are approximately 1.8. He wants 10 empnasze that he golden ratio is nothing special “Therefore, this isthe argument that he wil most probably se fo counter Zeising' claim. Opin D: The passage does not talk about how Zeising ‘applied the goden ratio to human body. Therefore, we cannot infer about the numberof people that he evaluated Hence, the corect answer is option C. Choice () “The author talks sbout the actual value of golden ratio which 's 1.6180339887... and not 1.618. The problem he refers to is explained inthe next paragraph by Keith Devin. Oplion A: According to Devin, “Sictly speaking, i's impossible for anything in the realnerlé to fll into the golden rato, because tts an rational number” However he does not talk about the diffcuty in measuring things in the real word. Theroforo, his is not he correct answor. Option B: The passage states thal "Just as i's imoossibe to find a perfect crce in the real world, the golden ratio cannot strictly be applied to any real world obgect. It's luays going tobe a lito off." From this, we can sito that the golden ratio cannet be applied to anything in real worlé because of ts encless decimal pat (We can infer thatthe endless decimal part of the number implies that it is iatonal because at the end ofthe second paragraph the ‘author states that ‘the decimal points go on forever’ anc at the beginning ofthe nex! paragraph, the author talks about the ircatonal nature of the golden ratio) Therefore, this is the comeet newer Option C: We cannot infer rom the passage whether the golden rectangle accurately follows the golden ratio, Further, this does not refer tothe problem mentioned by the author as this i just one example cf golden rato. Option D: The author does not tak about atin the second. paragraph and the probiem does not refer to the dificulty of using golden rato in ar. Hence, this Is not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is option B. ‘Choice (B) The author talks about the opinion of various persons in the passage regarting golden ratio and other proportions, Paciol: According to the passage, "Paciok didn't argue fora golden ratiobased theory of aesthetics as it should be applied 10 art, architecture, and design: he instead espoused tne Viruvian system of ratlonal proportions, ater the frst-contury Roman architect, Viruvus”, Therefore, we can say that he beleved in using Vituvien system of rational proportions for aesthetics. Hence, he is one of the persons who believed in using a eystom for aesthetics. Zaising: We can infor from the passage that Zoising Aadovarated the use of golden rato for ar, architecture and design. Hence, this is also one ofthe persons, Livi: The passage mentions that Livo is the “uy who lteraly wrote the book on the golden ratio". However, it {does not present his opinion on using any system for art Dali: The passage mentions that “Dali painted his masterpiece The Sacrament of he Last Supper on a carwvas shaped lke a golden rectangle.” However, ti Is one instance where he seemed to Nave used the golden fatio_and_the passage does not provide any further information on whether Dali believed that it should be used as a system for art “Therefore, crly two of the given persons believe in using system for art ‘Choe (6) “The passage taks about various creations which were created based on the golden ratio It also mentions “great designs in history” to which the golden ratio was retroactively apples, Option A: The passage states that "Mesnwhile, art historans started combing back through the great designs of history, trying to retcactively apply the golden ratio to ‘Stonehenge, Rembrandt, the Chaties Cathedral, and ‘Seurat” Therefore, this is not the answer. ‘Option B: According fo the passege, it was soon being sad thal Da Vinci himself used the golden ratio as the secrot ‘math behind his exquisitely beautiful paintings, such as the ‘Mona Lisa." However, it does not menton whether Da Vine: ‘actualy painted the Mona Lisa keeping the gotéen ratio in mind, Hence, this cannot be the answer, (Option C: The author mentions in the lest paragraph that “in the 20th century, the famous Swiss-French architec! Le Corbusier besed his Modulor system of antrropometic proportions on the golden ratio’. Therefore, Moculor system \was based on the goien rato. ‘Option D: The author mentors Chatres Cathedral as an ‘example of art hstoians retroactively applying the golden fatio. Hence, this is not the corect answer. “Therefore, the correct answer i the Modulor system, Choe (C) From the passege, i is clear that the author supports the views of Devin end this i evident in the ast sentence of the passage, “The link between the golden ratio and beauty has been a canard of the world of art, architecture, and design ever since” ‘Option A: The author does not mention that art created on the basis of golden ratio is not aesthaticaly pleasing, He only fee's thatthe golden ratio should not be the basis for art Hence, ths is not the correct answer. ‘Option B: From the lacteertonce of the paccage, we can infer that the author feals thatthe golden ratio should not bbe associated with art, architecture, and design. Hence, ‘is can be inferred to be @ view ofthe author, (Option C: The euthor primarly taks about golden ratio and ‘does not talk about law governing atin general. Therefore, this cannot be infered from the passage. Option D: The author does not differentiate between art and architecture wih respect to the appicaton of gokden ratio. Hence, tis is also incorrect Therefore, te correct answer is opt B. Choice 8) Solutions for questions 7 to 12: Number of words and Explanatory notes for RC: Number of words: 702 7. Darwin describes a scene full of “wedges of variously coloured rocks .. in every possible shape and formation.” Visions of this likely lodged in his mind (metaphorical sentence), Option A: He wrote in his notebock of “a hundred thousanc wedges rying [to] force every kind of adapted structure nto the gaps in the economy of Nature, or rather forming gaps by thusting out weaker ones." Hence choice Ais true and ‘i not the anawor. Option B: A fow years later, in 1888, puzaling over tha bith of new species, he was seized by an image different and stranger than natural selection, ‘species that ft wel” would femerge as winners and those that didnt would lose out in the strugole for existence (mentoned in the peruitimate para). So choice B would be inline with Darwin's theory of natural selection. So choice B is correct and is not the answer. Option C: Nature does not accept or reject any species.

Hence choice Cis the answer. Option D: Choice D is also true from the last few sentences cof para 1 (.. economy of nature...) Hence choice D is not the answer. Choice (C) Refer tothe fourth and fith paragranhs. Darwin's one-time rival turned comrade-n-arms, Alfred Russell Wallace, was Particularly tical. Ina leer to Darwin, sent after ubication of the Origin, Wallace argued ~ no doubt with & ‘wink — that the metaphor was not well ‘adapted’ to convey fis theory of evolution tothe pubic. Option A: He was concemed that the word “selecion’ encouraged readers to (wrongly) view nature as a forward- locking, inteligent designer that was shaping the ‘evolutionary course of fe. Hence choice A is not the answer. Nature Option 8: According 1o Darwin biographer Janet Browns Darwin often seemed to imagine nature as an “all-see farmer in the sky” a benevolent overseer that selec, ‘scruinizes, and rejects. As Wallace saw it, he problem with this rosy view is that, stictly speaking, i's wrong. Hence choice Bis incorrect Option C: Choice C is false. Though Darwin and his Contemporaries recognized natural selection as a metaphor for evolution, Wallace did not. Darwin did not take metaphors fichty tut Alfred Wallace was particularly crtical ‘about the term ‘natural selection’. Option D: There is no nice, oolestial farmer — just @ struggle for existence, with winners and losers. Therefore Choice D is correct Choice (D) ‘Today, a century and a half ater, Darwin's eerie metaphor of a vest and wedgeriled landscape, pounded by the blows of an unseen hammerer,is (almost) all bt forgotten. Option A: Whatever nis reasons for abandoning the ‘wedges, it was tkely not 3 rash decision. Darwin did not take metaphors ighty, So choice Ais negated. Option B: The fist part of choice B can be inferred from the passage. Darwin usually defended his metaphors and held ‘on to them tightly, dafying detractors. His one-ime rival tuned comrade-n-ams, Aled Russell Wallace, was Particularly crtical. Ina letter to Darwin, sent after publication of the Origin, Walace argued that the metaphor was not well "adapted" io convey his theory of evoluton to the public. But the passaga does not state that Darwin's biographer Janet Browne displayed her extcism for the ‘metaphor. Hence choice B is not ire. (Option C: Darwin never exolained why ne dropped it, but fone possible reason is that he doubted people would lke it To those with no intorest in rocks, such a metaphor would have seemed bleak and alien: An invisible hemmer drives ‘one wedge down, then another, with no obvious rationale. Hence choice C is correct Option D: One modem scholar describes the idea as “giotesque’ and even “shockingly sadistic” To Darwin's readers, imagining the hstory of life in such violent and ‘mecharical terms might have been at least unpalatable, land at most unbearable. Choice D is incorrect as t is not Darwin who considered te metaphor “grotesque and shockingly sadistic’. ‘Choice (C) Refer to the last paragraph of the passage (Option A & B: Chicos A and B cannot be infered from the passage. (Option C: The first part of choice C can be inferred from the ppenutimate sentence of para 3 but the second part of ‘choice C cannot be estblished as a reason. Hence choice Cis not the answer. (Option D: Perhaps he sensed the power of tis “alkseeing farmer" and, in doing so, intuted something deep about human psychology. People are deeply familar with the logic of purposeful design, and research has shown that they ke to view the word through ths lens. When faced with hard-te-explain phenomena, thay invoke higher powers or hidden plans — concepts like God, fate, and karma all speak to this impulse. The idea of nature es a 1. 2 selecting agency plays to our biases to briliant effect. Hence choice Dis correct Choice (0) Option A: Darwin's eerie metaphor of a vast and wedge- filed landscape, pounded by the blows of an unseen hammerer, is (almost) all but forgotten. An invisible hammer drives one wedge down, then another, with no obvious. rationale. I's nature as whack-a-mole, with humans as just another mole being whacked into ~ and perhaps one day ut of ~existence. One modem scholar describes the idea as “grotesque” and even “shockingly sedstic” Hence choice A is the answer. (Modern thinkers, think that ‘unwanted traits in @ human being can be weeded out by a process of natural selection and a more perfect human species can be formed. Darwin is of the view that the human species can itself be selected out) INole: ‘whack-e-mole” is also a game in an amusment arcade in which players use a mallet to hit toy moles, which ‘appear at random, back into their holes.) (Option B: Choice 8 in itself is postive. The choice does not capture the negative thought ‘vast and wedge-tled landscape, pounded by the blows of an unseen hammerer Hence choice 8 cannot be described “grotesque” and even “shockingly sadistic’ Option C: To Darwin's readers, imagining the history of life in such violent and mechanical terms might have been at least unpalatable, and at most unbearable. But choice C is, ‘ot spectc tothe question, Option D: Choice D appears later in the passage in the enulimete and final paragraphs but the characteristic ideasis) of nature mentioned in choice D cannot be associated with the terms "grotesque" and even “shockingly sadistic’. Hence choice Dis not the answer. Choice (A) ‘Option A: Senience 2 of para 1 reads as follows: He had a Iongstancing love of geology ~ as a bucding scientist ned spend days win hammer in nend, breaking open rock specimens and pondering te histones of peculer lanoscepes. This sentence is not out of context “ove of geoiogy ~ breaking open rock specimens and. pondenng the histones of peculiar landscapes" inks with tre previous sentence “recent forays inthe high passes and piateaus of the Andes”, Hence choice As not the answer. Option B: Sentence 6 of para 3 reads thus: Charles Darwin gave us both kinds of metaphors, big winners and tola| flops. Ths objective sentence disrupts the thoughiflow. The provious sentences in para 3 highlight the reason that Darwin removed the wedges-as-species comparison or metaphor. The reletence is to 2 partcular metaphor that Darwin used earlier. Hence “both kinds of metaphors” as ‘mentioned in sentence 6 of para 3 would need a precedent ‘and more substantion. Sentence 6 of pare 3 would be best placed in anoiner paragraph — preferably in a paragraph prior to the start of the given passage ~ as itis a general Sentence about metaphors. So, the sentence (prior to choice B) “To those with no Interest in rocks, such a metaphor woud fave seemed bleak and alien: An invisible hammer drives one wedge down, thon another, with no obvicus rationale.” should be immediately fcllowed by the sentence (after choice B) “I's ‘ature as whack-a-mole, with humans as ust ancther mole bbeing whacked info ~ ‘and perhaps one cay out of — ‘xistence.” Therefore choice B i correct. Optin C: Sentence 1 of para § read 2s follows: Wallace, it turns out, was astute in his reacing of Danwin's language Ths sentence is not out of scope of te fith paragraph of the passage. The previous paragraph talks about Walace Showing hs dsplessure with the term ‘ratural selection” Wallace felt that the metaphor was not well adapted" to convey his theory of evolution to the puolic. Hence “astute in his reading ....” 28 given in sentence 1 of para 5 is justified. The idea finds a continuation in the penulimate ‘sentence of pera 5: As Wallace saw it the problem with this ‘rosy view is that, strictly speaking, its wrong.

(Option A: The first paragraph of the passage does not tak about migration beccming the lastest fashion, So choice A is not comect. Option 8: The fist part of Choice Bs rue. At the turn ofthe century, tere were more regional and international nrigrants than ever before in recorded history. But the ‘sacond part of choice B cannot bo inferted trom the passage. Choice 8 is incorrect and does not include the Complete or comprehensive reason for the question. Option C: Choice C i correct. Today, the figure of the migrant exposes an important truth: socal expansion has ‘always been predicated on the social expulsion of migrants. ‘The twenty-first century will be the century of the migrant rot only because of the record umber of migrants today but also because this is tho century in which all tho previous forms of socal expulsion and migratory resistance have reemerged and become more active than ever belore. Option D: Choice D has not been mentioned in the passage, ‘Choice (C) 14, Statement 1: Climate change may cause international migration to double over the next forty years, So statement 11s not the current reason for an increase in migration in the 21" contry Statement 2: More poople migrate because of ‘environmental, economic, and political instability. So ‘Statement 2is also a reason, ‘Statement 3: Some of the migratory phenomena are directly Felated to recent events, such as the impoverishment of middle classes in certain ich countres efter the fancial ‘isis of 2008, subsequent ausierity cuts 10 social welfare programs, and rising unemployment, Honco statement 3 is ‘also. reason. Statement 4: The subprime morgage crisis led to ne ‘exoulsion of milions of neoale from thai homes worldwid ‘Thatefore statement 4 is also an important factor for rnigraon Satement 5: Mining practces have become increasinaly ‘destructive around the word — including hydraulic racturing ‘and tar sands. The general increase in human mobility and ‘expulsion is row widely recognized as a daring feakie of the 21st century So statement 5s also true ‘ans: (2348) 415. The author mentions “A specter haunts the world and itis the specter of migration” in the last sentence of para 2, refering ‘0 the thought that mgztion is aways a monfostaton of ‘expulsion’ ~ whether tomporary and mid, ‘or ongasting and grave Option A: Choice A summarizes the main points of the third paragraph, There is @ negative side 10 all migration. Even if the ond resuit of migration is a relatve increase in money, ower, or enjoyment, the process of migration itself almost always involves an insecurity of some kind and ‘duration: the emoval of teicxial onnership or access, the loss of the political right to vote oto receive social welfare. the loss of egal status to work or drive, othe financial oss ‘assoceted with transportation or charge in residence. Hence choice A is the answer. Option B: However, not al migrants are ake in their movement. For some, movement offers opportunity and oft with only a temporary expulsion. For others, ovement is dangerous end their social expulsions are mere severe and permanent. Today, most people ‘all ‘somewhere on this migratory spectrum between the two poles of “inconvenience’ and “incgpactation.” Al migrants, 16, 1. 18. (on this spectrum share the experionce that their movement results in a certain degree of expulsion from ther tertoril, political, juridical, or eccnomec status. The remaining sentences of para 3 go on to emphasize the point thatthe negative consequences of migration far outwoigh the boneficial aspects of migration. Choice B is not correct. Option C: Whie choice C may be tue, it has not been expicily mentcned in the passage. It does not arse the ‘question. Option D: The frst pat of choice D has not been justified in the passage. The Second part of choice D is not correct. Various pats ofthe passage indicete that today people are {forced to migrate and do nat necessafly migrato by choice. Choice D in isef is not negative to justly “specter of ‘migration haunts the wort.” Choice (A) Option A: The second problem is that the migrant has been predominantly understood from the perspective of states. Since the stale has all too often wiitien history, the migrant hhas been understocd as @ figure without ts own history and social force. Hence statement Ais not true. Option B: Choice B is not one ofthe two problems that aro needed to be overcome in order to develop a theory on migrants Option C: The first problem is that the migrant has been predominantly understood from the perspective of stasis ‘and perceived as a secondary oF detivatve figure with respect to plave-dound social membership. Place-bound ‘membership in @ socaty is assumed as primary: secondary isthe movement beck and forth betwoon social ponts. So the problem is thal migrants are studied wih respect 10 their movement (secondary or derivative) but not with respect to place-bound social membership (primary). Tho last sentence of para 4 implies that # we want to develop a political theory Of the migrant itsel, we need 10 stop interpreting them under the viewcomnt as given in choice C, Hence chcica C's the correct answer.

Foucaut looks at the continuities and Giscontinities between ‘epistemes' (taken by Foucault 10 mean the knowedge systems which primariy informed the thinking during certain pericds of history: a diferent one being said to dominate each epistemclogical age), and the social context in which certain knowledges and practices ‘emerged as permissable and desirable or changed. Hence choice B is correct. Choice (8) 20. Refer to the last sentence of the third paragraph (The ‘Paropticon... modem indivicua), Option A: The analogy of the Panopticon is used to suggest the processes whereby discipinary technologies are used by the powers that be to ‘police’ both the minds and bodies (of poeple. It algo refers to tho normative power ofthe state 80 as to continue the policing of an individual's mind and body. So choice Ais nol the answer. Option B: In choice B, you are aware thet your boss is inspecting your work. So choice B is not the correct analogy. Option C: Choice C is a poor example of ‘social surveilance’ or the Panopticon analogy used in the passage, (Option D: Benthar's Panopticon was a nineteenth century Drson system in which prison cols were arranged around a Central watchtower from which the supervisor could watch inmates, yet the inmates could never be certain when they were being watched, therefore, over time, they began to police thes own behaviour. In the case of CCTV in workplace, one cannot tell whether one is continuously monitored or not. Hence choice D best parallels the Panopticon analogy used in te passage. Choice (D) 2.

He chats the transition from a top-down form of ‘Social contro in the form of physical coercion meted cut by the sovereign to a more diffuse and insifous form of social surveillance and process of ‘normaisation’. Choice B isnot the main focus of Foucaul’s work (Option C: Foucaul's focus 's upon questions of how some discourses have shaped and created meaning systems that hhave gained the status and currency of ‘uth’, and dominate how we define and organize both ourselves and ‘our social world, whilst other alternative discourses. aro margnalised and subjugated, yet potentially ‘offer stes whore hegomenie practices can be contested, challenged ‘and "osisted. This makes choice C the correct anowor ‘Option D: In Foucaut’s view, there no fixed and defnitive structuring of either social (or personal) identity or practices, as there is in a socially determined view in which the subjectis completely socialized. The folowing sentence “the formation of identties and practices are related to or a function of histricaly specific discourses" in para 4 only lmplies thet dominant discourses are responsible for the Identity and practices of our period i.e. Discourses are (characteristic of eras.

But ‘deliberate consciousness” in choice B is ‘extreme. Hence choice Bis rot the answer. (Option C: Doing this sadhana amounts to the wiping away of al frames of reference, which ie my only salvation, for every fame of reference, however elevated or exalted, brings about dualism. So if there is a frame of reference, there will appear two entities ~ an entity and ancther to which tis compared or referred.
