Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
While we live in times when humankind possesses the most advanced science and technology, a virus
invisible to the naked eye has massively disrupted our lives. Given the corona virus’s current situation, some
households have also had time to introspect on gender roles. For instance, women are expected to carry out
household chores like cooking and cleaning. With men sharing household responsibilities during the lockdown
period, it gives hope that they will realize the burden that women have been bearing and will continue sharing
such responsibilities.
This tough period also gave people some time to reflect on the importance of keeping themselves fit.
With sufficient time in hand, people started investing their time learning new ways to exercise. Those who
never exercised before developed some new habits of Yoga and exercises. These new habits and people’s
increased focus on their health will surely change the way we lead our lives in future.
The nature too healed itself during the lockdown period. Restricted human movement led to better air
quality and cleaner water bodies. Human beings during this time were aware that some of their unconscious
activities caused disruption in nature and worked out ways to adopt environmental-friendly options for their
activities in future.
The current scenario has also affected our economies to the extent wherein many businessmen had to
bear heavy losses in their businesses. The governments and individuals need to take actions to mitigate risk
and minimize transmission while maintaining social and economic activities. However, relaxed control
measures and the understandable desire to return to normalcy have led to reduced protective behaviour and
more social and workplace interactions, often in confined settings, where the virus spreads really fast.

Question 39. The word “they” in the passage refers to ______.

A. gender roles B. men C. women D. responsibilities
Question 40. According to the passage, what happened during the lockdown period that made people
introspect on gender roles?
A. Women started handling all the household responsibilities alone.
B. Men started handling all the household responsibilities alone.
C. People talked about gender roles during the lockdown period.
D. Men started sharing responsibilities related to household chores.
Question 41. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE in the context of the passage?
A. There was less human movement due to lockdown.
B. People started realising the importance of keeping themselves fit.
C. There was a boom in the economy in general.
D. The corona virus spreads quickly in small closed settings.
Question 42. According to the passage, a positive change in terms of ______ was seen during the lockdown period.
A. people’s health B. social interactions C. natural environment D. economies
Question 43. The word “mitigate” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. alleviate B. boost C. descend D. increase

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
I decided to write this book for several reasons. I was dissatisfied with parenting-advice literature,
finding it to be unrealistic with oversimplified messages, and often unrelated to current scientific knowledge.
I became convinced, therefore, that parents needed a consistent way of thinking about their role to guide them
in making effective decisions. It’s little wonder that parents are confused about what approach to take to child
upbringing. Today’s world is one which makes parenting exceedingly difficult. Many parents complain that
they’re busier than ever and that due to the growing demands of their jobs, they have little time for their
children.
Parenting advice has always been changing, at no time more so than the present. While the fundamental
goal of parenting – to form character and moral development – has stood firm among the various passing
fashions in child care over the years, the approach to accomplish this has varied considerably.
Some experts, convinced that parents are in control of what their children become, advise a “get tough”
approach. The educational parallel to this “parent-power” stance is to train and instruct as early as possible,
and this has been justified by claims of maximizing brain growth by starting sooner. Others, however, attribute
many of today’s social problems to the excessive pressure put on children by parents.
According to these “child-power” advocates, children have their own timetables for maturing and
learning. Waiting for cues that children are ready, these experts say, will relieve the stress that fuels youth
discontent and rebellion.
Current thinking on child upbringing advice mirrors historical shifts in theories of development and
education. The most disturbing trend in the literature has been a move to deny that parents make any notable
contribution to their children’s development. This public declaration of parental weakness comes at a time
when many busy parents retreat from family obligations, and, indeed, it grants them license to do so.

Question 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Most parents now have more time for their children.
B. There is a disagreement on child upbringing among the experts themselves.
C. “Child-power” advocates believe that children have their own timetables for relaxing and learning.
D. Parents who are in control of what their children become advise a “get tough” approach.
Question 45. The word “exceedingly” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. extremely B. nominally C. mainly D. slightly
Question 46. The word “them” in the passage refers to ______.
A. obligations B. children C. theories D. parents
Question 47. The author says that one reason for writing the book was the fact that ______.
A. Research suggests the quality of parenting skills has deteriorated.
B. Today’s scientific views of parenting seem to be unreliable.
C. There is a lack of parenting literature written by well-known experts.
D. The available advisory material does not reflect current scientific knowledge.
Question 48. What can be inferred about parenting advice from paragraph 2?
A. Its core objective has remained unchanged.
B. It placed strong emphasis on the protection of the child.
C. It has followed the same approach over the years.
D. Its ultimate goal is to make a child well-behaved.
Question 49. What criticism of contemporary thinking on child upbringing does the author make?
A. It repeats theories which have no deep foundation.
B. It places too much importance on formal education.
C. It encourages parents to neglect their responsibilities.
D. It denies the role of friends in children’s development.
Question 50. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Children’s development without parenting B. Parenting in modern life
C. Parents’ roles in the family D. Available approaches for child upbringing
