Directions (71-78)- Read the following passage and answer the following questions based on the given
passage. Some of the words are highlighted which would help you to answer some of the questions given.
For years, world-wide organisations have become increasingly excited about the prospect of a cloud-based
future. As the dream becomes an ever closer reality for many kinds of business and, Forrester predicted
that enterprise spending on cloud services is set to surge. IDC also predicted that global spending on public
cloud services and infrastructure would reach $210bn in 2019, an increase of 24% from 2018. But one
obstacle stands create friction and introduce risk: the process of migration.
As all indications point to a massive shift in data deployments to the cloud, it is more important than ever
that the transition from on-premises to Cloud is as risk free as possible. In today's climate any loss or
disruption to data can have a huge business impact. It’s a complex process, is frequently underestimated
and many organisations have found there’s lots that can go wrong that can impact the business.
Organisations across the globe have found the cloud to be an ideal place to run modern data applications
due to big data’s elastic resource requirements. Furthermore, with the lack of data talent an ever-looming
issue for most companies today they have been determined to adopt a cloud-first strategy to ensure
business operations are accessible for a range of employees.
The cloud offers great promise for developers especially, as it can increase the speed at which they develop
software features and increase the resilience of applications once they are deployed - along with enhanced
security through the use of multiple server locations. With all this considered, it is no surprise that 42% of
UK businesses leverage some kind of cloud service, according to Eurostat.
However, all the perceived benefits of leveraging the cloud are redundant if organisations come up against
barriers to accessing cloud services. Cloud-based data pipelines still suffer from complexity challenges at
the moment, along with the lack of visibility into cost and resource usage at the application and user level.
The answer to this is automation fueled by robust Machine learning training models and artificial
intelligence. These concepts and the tools that enable them can determine the prerequisites of cloud
infrastructure, application dependencies,the appropriate target cloud instance profiles, and provide
troubleshooting in real-time.
To summarise, the promise of the cloud has created a sense of excitement amongst enterprises, however,
they have proceeded to go full steam ahead into adopting a cloud service, without sufficient data to
ensure performance service level agreements (SLAs).
71. How can we tackle the risks associated with the process of migration?
(a) By ensuring that organisations only migrate the apps to the cloud that will thrive in the cloud.
(b) The surge in the investment in the cloud technology.
(c) The use of predictive power of Artificial Intelligence.
(d) The transition from on-premises to Cloud
(e) None of these

(a) As it ensures that business operations are accessible for a range of employees.
(b) As the enterprise spending on cloud services is surging.
(c) Reduction in the cost of operation it may entail.
(d) The secure platform it provides to the data it stores.
(e) None of these
73. How the process of migration stands as an obstacle to the cloud technology?
(a) The expensive cost of providing safety to the data.
(b) The lack of sound technology in Artificial Intelligence.
(c) Complexities of the data migrated to the cloud
(d) It exposes the companies to the risk of losing important information.
(e) None of these
74. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct in context of the passage?

Directions (1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below them.
Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of
the questions.
Life is messy. If we want our best and brightest in the workforce, we need to accept that they have
complex lives. We need to be flexible when it comes to the realities of balancing career and family.
Being flexible at work doesn’t just benefit people trying to balance their outside lives with work. An
extensive body of research demonstrates the business benefits of flexible working. Yet despite this
overwhelming evidence, access to flexible work and careers is not widespread. Flexible work is still
regarded as an add-on, something we do for mothers for a few months when they are back from
parental leave. But in the face of rapid changes to the way we work, organizations need to move beyond
just having policies for flexible working or making ad-hoc adjustments for certain individuals.
Companies need to fundamentally rethink the way they design work and jobs.
The World Economic Forum predicts that we are on the cusp of a fourth industrial revolution.
Technological, socioeconomic and demographic shifts are transforming the way we work, demanding
flexibility in the way individuals, teams and organizations work. We all have different things
happening in our lives at different times. Not just caring for young kids, but other family members,
community roles, study and volunteering. And all of these parts of our identities bring with them
different skill sets. In today’s workforce, fewer people identify with the stereotype of the ideal worker
– a full-time, fully committed employee without personal or family commitments that impact on
availability.
There are a few factors driving the demand for increased flexibility. Globalization is one. The
development of a 24/7 marketplace, and the rapid expansion of the services economy are also having
a transformational effect on the workplace, requiring organizations to think creatively about how they
can best organize jobs and work to respond to an increasingly diverse and demanding customer base.
Similarly technology is driving – and enabling – greater flexibility. It is dramatically reshaping our
workplaces, blurring the boundaries between work and home and diversifying where, when and how
employees work. Advances in mobile, internet and cloud technologies, the rapid development of
computing power, and the digital connection between multiple objects have all driven workplace
innovations such as remote working, telecommuting, co-working
spaces, video/teleconferencing, and virtual teams and
collaboration.
So the future of work demands new approaches to work design –
but have workplaces risen to the challenge? The evidence suggests
we have yet to grasp this opportunity to be more innovative.
While some employers are making flexible work more available,
there is still a high prevalence of bolted-on temporary
arrangements. These arrangements are seen as the exception to the
rule, with the full-time, “face-time”, long hours “ideal worker” still
the model to which everyone is expected to adhere.
Many people make assumptions about flexible workers, including that they’re not interested in
training and development, aren’t committed to the organization, or don’t have any career aspirations.
We need to explore and challenge these biases.
There are good international examples of successful work redesign that have involved the input of a
team of employees. For example, a UK bakery sat down with their bakers and came up with a flexible
system of two to three baking shifts a day to maintain a steady supply of fresh bread. The team agreed
to rotate their hours each week so no team member permanently worked a shift that did not suit. After
the change was made, bakery sales increased by more than 65% in the first year and employee
satisfaction in the bakery has risen 10% since the change to 93%. So work redesign is not only doable,
it can deliver business benefits, although it does require a completely new approach. By changing our
thinking and focusing on the team and the organization as a whole, rather than the individual, we have
the opportunity to create more adaptable and sustainable workplaces.

Directions (1-8): Read the given passage and answer the following questions based on that.
Home is where the heart is, or so goes the adage. But the human heart did not always crave a still hearth.
In fact, before the emergence of agrarian societies, the early humans journeyed along the roads taken by
their prey — hunter-gatherer societies were mobile and the road was their life. But with the rise of
agrarianism, humans learnt to put down their roots and a life of journeys became something to be frowned
upon. Yet, vestiges of the wandering spirit persist. In the year, 2000, Herman and Candelaria Zapp set out
in a car from Buenos Aires to travel the world. The Zapps’ home is the road — literally and proverbially.
They have had four children in different countries, and in an era of strict visa regimes and rising insularity,
managed to treat borders as what they truly are — arbitrary and artificial lines on a map. The world was a
different place when the Zapps set out — there were no smartphones, the internet was in its infancy, a site
of knowledge and hope rather than disinformation and division, the twin towers towered over New York,
and Russia was a diminutive shell stripped of its Soviet grandeur. It is tempting to imagine that the Zapps
__________________ Kishore Kumar’s immortal song, “Musafir hoon yaaron, na ghar hai na thikana”, as they
covered great distances across a changing world.
The Zapps, interestingly, are not an anomaly. Latest estimates show that over one million Americans live
permanently in recreational vehicles with no permanent address. Many are retired, but many others work
part of the year, just long enough to keep them going for a few months or so. It is easy to romanticize the
lifestyle and the idea of freedom that it brings. But in most countries, people without a stationary home are
subjected to intense legal scrutiny. Law enforcement institutions are even prejudiced against specific
communities. For example, in the United States of America, there are legislations that make it illegal to sit
on the sidewalk, to camp or sleep anywhere in a downtown area or to hang around in a public place without
an apparent purpose. The intent seems to encourage sanitization of space of some kinds of human
presences. These laws are not unique to the US. Anti-vagrancy laws have existed for hundreds of years —
think of the persecution of gypsies across Europe. In the old United Kingdom, vagrants could be put in jail,
sold as slaves, or sometimes even killed for no other reason than wandering. Colonial India, too, had
witnessed the purge of nomadic communities, most notably under the guise of the campaign against
thuggees.
Q1. According to the passage, what changes has human society seen from the pre-agrarian era to the
present?
(a) Modern humans have diverged their dependency from
agriculture, unlike their primitive ancestor whose livelihood was
solely based on that
(b) From being a hunter-gatherer nomad society, it evolved into a
settled agrarian society
(c) The immense technological advancement in recent years makes it
possible to envisage services that were seen as utopian in pre-
agrarian era
(d) All of these
(e) None of these
Q4. How are the countries treating the new age wanderer?
(a) They are subject to legal scrutiny in many countries because of their lack of possession of land.
(b) Many countries assess their livelihood and put their earnings on the tax slab.
(c) Many law enforcement agencies are biased towards these travelers
(d) Only (a) and (c)
(e) All of these
Q5. Which of the following is FALSE according to the data given in the passage?
(a) Thuggees are predominantly nomadic people of colonial India

Directions (12-19): Read the following passage and answer the given questions based on the information
provided in the passage.
New employee orientation programs have been shown to socialize newcomers and increase their
knowledge, skills, and abilities upon completion. These types of programs are perhaps the most influential
piece of an employee’s development. Although many organizations include orientation as part of their new
employee development tactics, few truly utilize its full scope. New employee orientation programs are
deliberate attempts by an organization to introduce a new employee to what working for the organization
will be like. Although orientations can teach some important skills and abilities, they also teach new
employees about the organization’s history, goals, values, people, politics, and language. Orientation
programs start off the socialization process and help the new employee fit into his or her new
surroundings. New employee orientation programs may sometimes feel like a stale period of high anxiety
and stress while training takes place when these potentially harmful feelings have most likely been
resolved. A great deal of time and money is spent every year socializing and technically training employees.
Making sure this investment is well spent should be a central concern. However, this is not always the case.
Because training is expensive, organizations should make sure they are effectively preparing employees to
run for on-the-job success by delivering the proper training content and teaching it the right way.
Assessing the training needs of new employees consumes time and money, but it sends the message that
the organization is committed to the development of its employees, to giving them the right tools to
perform and putting them in a position where they can succeed, all of which are recognized goals of new
employee orientation programs. Helping a new employee fit into his or her job and organization is
important when considering job satisfaction, commitment, and retention. Whether potential candidates
accept the job or not is somewhat influenced by how well they believe they will fit into that company. Thus,
developing an orientation program that will not only properly train new hires, but successfully introduce
them to their new organization is extremely important.
The attributes an employee needs to succeed on the job, including those desired upon entry into the job,
can be found through an analysis of the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the
essential functions of the job. Since technical skills training is meant to enhance those skills and abilities
needed for a job, it makes sense that training should have a close ___________(I) ___________ to whether or not
a new employee fits into his or her environment. A big difference between Japanese and western
organizations is that orientation programs are much more important to Japanese organizations because
they want to cement a lasting relationship with new employees. Thus, the Japanese approach to selection
and recruitment also works hand in hand. Japanese firms hire almost entirely at the entry-level. This is
done so that the new arrival can be properly trained and socialized into the organization to be a good fit.
The length of this process can vary from six months to three years, whereas in many western organizations
a new employee merely completes the required HR paperwork and is then suddenly expected to execute
the role for which he or she was hired.
Q13. How does the author differentiate between new employee orientation programs and training?
(a) Orientation programs take place during a time of high anxiety and tension, while training takes place
in a tranquil environment.
(b) Orientation programs take place during a tranquil moment, whereas training takes place during a
period of high anxiety and tension.
(c) When potentially detrimental thoughts of orientation have been addressed, training can continue.
(d) Only (a) and (b)
(e) Both (a) and (c)
Q14. Which of the following statements with reference to the information provided in the given passage
is/are correct?
(i) The viewpoints of potential candidates have an impact on whether or not a position is accepted.
(ii) Time and money are invested in assessing the development needs of new employees.
(iii) Orientation programs offer new employees the necessary tools to enable them to succeed.
(a) Only (ii)
(b) Both (i) and (ii)
(c) All of these
(d) Only (iii)
(e) Both (ii) and (iii)
Q15. Why do most organizations invest in orientation programs, despite the fact that assessing the training
needs of new employees consumes time and money?
(a) It illustrates the organization's commitment to employee development.
(b) It provides employees with the necessary tools to help them succeed.

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. “A large number of” is a plural noun, thus, it follows plural verb. Hence, “contributes” must be replaced
with “contribute”. Note, “the number of” is a singular noun.
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. In part D, “clear” must be replaced with “clarity”. Here noun form of the word should be used thus
clarity is the right choice.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Here in “was” must be replaced with “were”. In unreal conditions, i.e., the sentence that doesn’t reflect
reality if clause should be used, and if the verb in the if clause is “to be,” use “were,” even if the subject of
the clause is a third person singular subject (i.e., he, she, it). This will be followed by auxiliary verb such as
“would” in the second part of the hypothetical portion.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. “jury” is a collective noun, thus followed by a singular verb. Hence, “have” must be replaced with “has”.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. “to” should not be used in this case as had better, had rather, had as soon ... as .....had sooner etc. are
followed by Bare Infinitive.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. “latter” should be replaced with “later”. Later, latest refer to time, latter and last refer to position.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sentence (C) will be the introductory sentence as it best presents the theme of the paragraph which is
a black hole. The next sentence is (B) as it mentions the feature of a black hole. Further, sentence (B) will
be followed by sentence (D) as it further describes when this compression happens which is mentioned in
the sentence (B) as well. Now, sentence (D) will be followed by sentence (A) as it further describes the
second feature of the black hole that no light can come out of it. Further, sentence (A) will be followed by
sentence (E) as it describes the usage of space telescope with special tools to see these black holes.
Therefore, the correct rearrangement of the given sentences would be “CBDAE”.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Sentence (C) will be the introductory sentence as it best presents
the theme of the paragraph which is a black hole. The next sentence
is (B) as it mentions the feature of a black hole. Further, sentence (B)
will be followed by sentence (D) as it further describes when this
compression happens which is mentioned in the sentence (B) as well.
Now, sentence (D) will be followed by sentence (A) as it further
describes the second feature of the black hole that no light can come
out of it. Further, sentence (A) will be followed by sentence (E) as it
describes the usage of space telescope with special tools to see these
black holes. Therefore, the correct rearrangement of the given
sentences would be “CBDAE”.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Sentence (C) will be the introductory sentence as it best presents the theme of the paragraph which is
a black hole. The next sentence is (B) as it mentions the feature of a black hole. Further, sentence (B) will
be followed by sentence (D) as it further describes when this compression happens which is mentioned in
the sentence (B) as well. Now, sentence (D) will be followed by sentence (A) as it further describes the
second feature of the black hole that no light can come out of it. Further, sentence (A) will be followed by
sentence (E) as it describes the usage of space telescope with special tools to see these black holes.
Therefore, the correct rearrangement of the given sentences would be “CBDAE”.
S11. Ans.(a)
Sol. Sentence (C) will be the introductory sentence as it best presents the theme of the paragraph which is
a black hole. The next sentence is (B) as it mentions the feature of a black hole. Further, sentence (B) will
be followed by sentence (D) as it further describes when this compression happens which is mentioned in
the sentence (B) as well. Now, sentence (D) will be followed by sentence (A) as it further describes the
second feature of the black hole that no light can come out of it. Further, sentence (A) will be followed by
sentence (E) as it describes the usage of space telescope with special tools to see these black holes.
Therefore, the correct rearrangement of the given sentences would be “CBDAE”.
S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. Among the given statements, only option (b) is correct with reference to the context of the given
question. While the rest of the statements are incorrect as the major objective to undertake the
socialization process in orientation programs is to help the new employee adjust to his or her new
surroundings. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.
Refer to the eighth line of the first paragraph, “Orientation programs start off the socialization process and
help the new employee fit into his or her new surroundings.”
S13. Ans.(e)
Sol. Among the given statements, both (a) and (c) are correct with reference to the context of the given
question. While statement (b) is completely incorrect. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.
Refer to the last lines of the first paragraph, “New employee orientation programs occur during a period of
high anxiety and stress while training takes place when these potentially harmful feelings have most likely
been resolved. A great deal of time and money is spent every year socializing and technically training
employees.”
S15. Ans.(d)
Sol. Among the given statements, only (a) and (b) are correct with reference to the context of the given
question. While statement (c) is incoherent as it is not the primary objective behind the investment of time
and money by most of the organizations. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.
Refer to the mid-lines of the second paragraph, “Assessing the training needs of new employees consumes
time and money, but it sends the message that the organization is committed to the development of its
employees, to giving them the right tools to perform and putting them in a position where they can succeed,
all of which are recognized goals of new employee orientation programs.”
S16. Ans.(d)
Sol. The concerned sentence states that since technical skills training is intended to improve job-related
skills and abilities, it seems reasonable that it should be intrinsically correlated to whether or not a new
employee fits into his or her surroundings. Thus, we can infer that ‘analogy’ which means ‘a
correspondence or partial similarity’ is the most appropriate word to fill in the given blank. Hence, option
(d) is the right answer choice.
(a) confiscation- the action of taking or seizing someone's property with authority; seizure.
(b) requisition- demand the use or supply of (something) by official order.
(c) distraint- the seizure of someone's property in order to obtain payment of money owed.
(e) amusement- the state or experience of finding something funny.
S17. Ans.(e)
Sol. All of the given statements are completely correct based on the information provided in the given
passage. Thus, there is no incorrect statement given in the options. Hence, option (e) is the right answer
choice.
Refer to the last lines of the third paragraph, “Japanese firms hire almost entirely at the entry-level. This is
done so that the new arrival can be properly trained and socialized into the organization to be a good fit. The
length of this process can vary from six months to three years, whereas in many western organizations a new
employee merely completes the required HR paperwork and is then suddenly expected to execute the role for
which he or she was hired.”
S18. Ans.(d)
Sol. Among the given words, ‘chipper’ is the most appropriate antonym of the highlighted word. The word
‘stale’ means ‘no longer new and interesting’. While ‘chipper’ means ‘cheerful and lively’. Hence, option (d)
is the right answer choice.
(a) noxious- harmful, poisonous, or very unpleasant.
(b) virulent- (of a disease or poison) extremely severe or harmful in its effects.
(c) rancid- highly unpleasant; repugnant.
S20. Ans.(a)
Sol. Here, “enviroments” should be replaced with “environment”.
S21. Ans.(b)
Sol. Here, “brech” must be replaced with “breach”. “Breach” means “an act that breaks an agreement, a law,
etc.”
S22. Ans.(a)
Sol. “stending” must be replaced with “standing”
S23. Ans.(d)
Sol. “attandance” must be replaced with “attendance”.
S24. Ans.(e)
Sol. All words are correct, hence required no change.
S25. Ans.(a)
Sol. “suts” must be replaced with “suits”.
S26. Ans.(c)
Sol. The correct arrangement for the given sentence will be BDAC. Therefore the sentence will be” When
the Right to Education Act was promulgated over a decade ago, it seemed like a breakthrough.”
S27. Ans.(d)
Sol. The correct arrangement for the given sentence will be DACB. Therefore the sentence will be”
Agriculture is a sector that today demands even greater efficiency thus it relies on the use of agriculture
technologies.”
S28. Ans.(d)
Sol. The correct arrangement for the given sentence will be ACBD. Therefore the sentence will be”
Monitoring of student behavior often extends beyond schoolwork and normal school hours.
S29. Ans.(a)

DYQSDTTDE
Directions (1-8): Read the following passage and answer the following questions based on the given
passage. Some of the words are highlighted which would help you to answer some of the questions given.
A good night’s sleep is utmost essential for overall good health. It is the time when the body rests,
rejuvenates and recovers. An adult requires 7 to 8 hours of peaceful and quality sleep per day. Sleep
deprivation can be defined as inability to complete the sufficient sleep-time required by the person.
Research has shown that even one night of sleep deprivation is equivalent to being intoxicated. Intentional
sleep deprivation is mostly seen in young people and teenagers who prefer entertainment over sleep. Many
workaholics also consider sleeping as a waste of precious time which is not true. Many a time because of
work commitments such as working in night shifts or long hours may also interfere with quality sleep that
an individual requires. Medical issues such as chronic illnesses, depression and sleep disorders such as
obstructive sleep apnea can also be the reason for sleep deprivation.
You probably already have some understanding of the benefits of rest—and the costs of not getting it. Sleep
allows us to consolidate and store memories, process emotional experiences, replenish glucose (the
molecule that fuels the brain), and clear out beta-amyloid (the waste product that builds up in Alzheimer’s
patients and disrupts cognitive activity).
The most common sign and symptom of the fact that one is sleep deprived is fatigue, lethargy and feeling
sleepy throughout the day. Other symptoms include mood disorders; sleep deprivation may lead to
increasing irritability, desire to stay alone, rapid mood swings and more. Lack of sleep will also cause
psychomotor instability meaning the person will find it difficult to focus and stand still at a place. Sleep
deprivation will also cause issues with sight and hearing. An affected person may experience burning
sensation in eyes, tingling and redness of eyes, light flashes and even hallucinations. He or she may also
find it difficult to gauge distance at which a sound is originating. Other signs and symptoms of sleep
deprivation include tingling sensations on the body, disorganization of thought and much more.
Negative effects of sleep deprivation are many. It affects both physical and mental health of a person
negatively. The most common effect of sleep deprivation is drowsiness, tiredness, mood swings, irritability
and reduced alertness. Although scientific knowledge of the physiological effects of sleep deprivation is
relatively recent but researchers now believe that sleep deprivation can lead to disorders such as
depression. Both short term sleep deprivation and chronic long term sleep deprivation can be very
dangerous for the health as it has a direct impact on functioning of both heart and brain of an individual.
Sleep loss also blunted activity in brain regions that normally induce social engagement. During sleep,
regeneration of neurons happens in the cerebral cortex. Thus in a sleep deprived individual the brain fails
to function optimally.
The simplest and easiest way to treat sleep deprivation is sleep more. Be it acute or chronic condition, a
quality good night’s sleep will help an individual ________(A)_________ effectively. Fighting stress, eating a
healthy and a balanced diet, avoiding alcohol are some other dos for a good night’s sleep. Certain
medications can also interfere with one’s sleep thus consult your medical professional about the same.
Exercising or indulging in an activity such as jogging, walk or swimming can also help one sleep better.
Avoid usage of electronic gadgets before bedtime as they can interfere with one’ sleep. Spending time in
natural sunlight, Yoga, meditation and breathing exercises can also help one sleep better at night. Treating
underlying medical cause if any will also help one sleep better and avoid sleep deprivation.
Q2. What is/are the cause(s) of incompetency in a sleep deprived individual’s brain?
(i) Clearing out of beta-amyloid that disrupts cognitive activity.
(ii) Sleep deprivation leads to drowsiness, tiredness and reduced alertness.
(iii) Reduction in the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products in the cerebral cortex.

Q18. According to some researchers, musical instruments came about ____(18)___, depending on the
available materials, and, in some cases, by the stimulus of the clamor of battle. The definition of a musical

per day.”
For statement (c) refer to the last paragraph, “The simplest and easiest way to treat sleep deprivation is
sleep more.”
S2. Ans.(b)

All the other statements are factually incorrect.
S5. Ans.(e)
Sol. Refer to the last paragraph, “Fighting stress, eating a healthy and a balanced diet, avoiding alcohol
are some other dos for a good night’s sleep. Certain medications can also interfere with one’s sleep thus
consult your medical professional about the same. Exercising or indulging in an activity such as jogging,
walk or swimming can also help one sleep better. Avoid usage of
electronic gadgets before bedtime as they can interfere with one’
sleep. Spending time in natural sunlight, Yoga, meditation and
breathing exercises can also help one sleep better at night.”
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sufficient means enough; adequate.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Induce means bring about or give rise to.
Encourage means stimulate the development of (an activity, state, or

These sentences state that one condition always results in the same outcome. Note that the both clauses
should be in the present tense.
S14. Ans.(b)
Sol. Replace “too” with “to”
To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
S15. Ans.(a)

intensive pronoun emphasizes its antecedent. Hence, the correct phrase is “they themselves had”. Thus,
option (a) is correct.
S16. Ans.(d)
Sol. The relative pronoun is the subject/object of the relative clause, so we do not repeat the subject/object,
Here, that is the object of built, so we don't need ‘it’.
