CLAT MOCK — 3 Answer and explanation .1) Option (8). This is a main idea question, The main idea of this, passage is to show the origin and development of comic books to certain extent. This is definitely not the complete article. However, the main point is to narrate the history. So, option B is the correct choice. Option A ~The author criticises ‘The Yellow Kid... book. We also get to know about some political misinformation being spread through comic books. But these are narrow points and don’t capture the main theme of the passage. Option C ~ Firstly, there is no myth-heres Theyauthor, never says that we are under some misconception regarding the origin of the comic book, It is also part of the passage (indirectly). However, it can’t be the main. idea. Secondly, the author clearly states that comic. books or graphic novels need not be fiction. They can be memoirs too. So, we can eliminate this option. Option D - Comic book is a subset of literature, So, this option is too broad and goes beyond the scope of the passage. Q.2) Option (c). This is an inference question. And all the options come from the second paragraph. Option A ~The author clearly states that graphic novels can be memoirs. So, this is eliminated. Option B ~ ‘Always’ makes this an extreme inference which can’t be supported by the information provided in the passage. Option C = ‘Normally’ makes it correct. Refer to the paragraph. The author states that graphic novels can have one or more authors. But comic books or paperbacks are written by @ team of contributors. So, this is the correct option. Option D - This might be true for comic books (pre~ conceived storyline and universe), not for graphic novels. Q.3) Option (A). This is a specific idea question. So, we need to eliminate options which are not true. Option A ~ Refer to the last sentence of the passage, These stories appeal to adults too. So, this option is factually true. Option 8 — This is an extreme accusation. The author mentions graffities in a different context. So, this is a distorted option. Option C- This again is misleading. The Yellow Kid book had some element of journalistic sensationalism. But this option has a completely cifferent meaning. Option D - Not mentioned in the passage. We have no information about ‘aesthetically pleasing’ (glossy means eye-catching and it need not be pleasant). It also hasn’t been mentioned as the main reason for the popularity of these books. Q.4) Option (0). Refer to the lines: “What are graphic novels exactly..by the same persof instead of a team.” So, a graphic novel would be a never before told story, Hence, option A is crucial. Number of volume (generally fone volume) is essential to some extent. Illustrations are part of the nature of these texts (refer to the first paragraph). So, option C is crucial too. Option D is vague. Is it about the number of writers or the origin of the story? Hence, this is the least essential element. So, option Dis the correct answer. Q.5) Option (0). ‘As used in the context, ‘disseminate’ means to propagate or spread {in this case misinformation or politically motivated ideologies). Hence, ‘circulate’ is the correct answer. Options:A and C are antonyms of, the word. Option B, which means to fasten with a support (battening doors during storms), is irrelevant. Option D is the correct answer. Q.6) Option (A). At the beginning of the passage, Bakha is clearly angry. Hence, we can eliminate options B and C. There is no speculation and no. introspection. indignation is righteous anger. Towards the end, Bakha is anxious about his father’s reaction. So, option A is the correct answer. In the last sentence, Bakha gets absorbed in an eagle and a speck of cloud. However, it’s not an overall attitude Q.7) Option (C). This is an inference questions. Factually, Bakha thinks of all the given scenario, However, option C best captures his biggest fear. Option Ais incomplete (find out what!) Option B is wrong. Option D is misleading. Bakha feels that his father always takes the side of the others {Sohini is not mentioned as an outsider here). So, ‘option Cis the correct answer. @ served, Unauthorized copying, sale, distribution or ‘sof this work isa punishable offence under laws of India © Possible edueation Pvt.

Refer to the lines: shouldn't have picked up that bread from the pavement, he said, and he sighed. That seemed to relax him.” So, option B is the answer. Option A It’s mentioned at the end as something that he did instead of worrying Option C is irrelevant, Option D is wrong. He didn’t wake up feeling better. He became angry after waking up. Q.9) Option (c). Refer to: “there was an ache in the back of his head. A subtle heat was mounting from his spine, drying the blood in his body and shrinking his face.” So, options A, 8, and D are eliminated as they indicate his anger, Option C is misleading. ‘Drying the blood’ doesn’t mean the body becoming literally bloodless. it’s an idiomatic expression. Q.10) Option (€). The second blank is our clue. Clearly, Bakha is very hungry. So, option D is eliminated, His hunger is not subtle at all. Hunger can’t be described as nuanced (detailed). There is no personification (rats can run), There is a degree of exaggeration in this figurative usage. For the first blank, simile can fit, Circumlocution means a round about way of speaking. It’s) not appropriate in this context. So, option C is the correct. answer. Q.11) Option (A). This is a main ideaiquestion.-The passage describes the history of the smallpox vaccine and how eventually this disease got eradicated, So, option A is the best answer. Option B - Too broad. The passage is about one vaccine, not about the process of vaccination in general, Option C~ This is not the main idea. Option D- Goes beyond the scope of the passage. Q.12) Option (8). Refer to the first paragraph. It’s clearly option B. Option A occurs after variolation. Option C is not mentioned, Option D is about Jenner's work and not about variolation, Q.13) Option (0) Refer to the line: “In this work, he summarized his discoveries and expressed hope that “the annihilation of the smallpox, the most dreadful scourge of the human species, must be the final result of this practice.” So, option D is the clear answer. .14) Option (8). Refer to the lines: “In 1959, the World Health Organization (WHO) started a plan to rid the world of ‘Answer and explanation smallpox. Unfortunately, this global eradication campaign suffered from a lack of funds, personnel, and commitment from countries, and a shortage of vaccine donations.” So, option B is factually correct. Options A and D can’t be determined. Option C is wrong. It was renewed in 1967. Q.15) Option (8). The clue here is that we need to find a sentence that says that cowpox is no longer used for smallpox vaccine, ‘Smallpox is eradicated but not the vaccination process, That can’t be determined. So, option B is the correct answer. Q.16) Option (8). In the passage, the author narrates the various sides examining the failure of early democracy in Germany in the form of the Weimar Republic. So, the tone is examining or analytical. Hence, option B is the correct answer. The author, doesn’t regret or lament. There is no condemnation throughout the passage. The author is assessing and stating historical facts. So, there is no Pondering or contemplation. Q.17) Option (0). ‘The best choice is option D as used in the context. The other options can be easily eliminated. {Q:48) Option (0): ‘The passage mentions options A, B, and C as reasons Why democracy of the Weimer Republic failed, However, option D is not mentioned as a failure. in fact, there was a failure to teach ‘German learning’. So, option D is the correct answer. Q.19) Option (A). Clearly, the passage indicates that the Weimer Republic crumbled. It was followed by the rise of a more authoritarian rule. So, option A is the most probable choice. Q.20) Option (0). Options A, B, and C are factually correct as per the passage. Refer to the first paragraph. Option D is the correct answer. Q.21) Option (C). Refer to the last paragraph. It mentions ‘the UNESCO chief’. Logically it should refer to Audrey Azoulay. So, option C is the correct answer. Options A and B can’t be determined Option D is ridiculous. She is supporting the art community. She doesn’t support the Covid crisis. (2) © Possible education Pvt, Ltd.: All sights reserved.

Authors typically give examples to strengthen their points. So, option C is the correct choice. The example of the Mona Lisa further highlights the importance of artists in the fight against the global pandemic (which is the main point of this address) Option A~ Incorrect. There is no critic mentioned. Option B ~ The passage is not about Da Vinci. Option D- This s irrelevant. Q.23) Option (8). ‘The pandemic has been mentioned to have created a lot of challenges for the field of art. Option A — Can't be determined that this field has been the worst affected. Option B = It’s true as per information provided in the passage. Option C ~ Irrelevant. Art has brought people closer. Option D — It has surely strengthened the faith in art But ‘revived’ makes this option illogieal. This passage doesn’t mention that there was a dwindling of faith in artists before the pandemic. Q.24) Option (8). The passage doesn't mention that artists have participated in the healthcare sector...They, have supported the healthcare sector and the cause of fighting against the pandemic. So, option B is the correct answer, Options A, C, and Dican be foundlin the passages Q.25) Option (A). In this context (and in general too}, the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa has been mentioned as a mysterious or fascinating phenomenon. So, options B, C, and D match the intended meaning.
