1. The question is based on the following passage.

Color blindness occurs when you are unable to see colors in a normal way. It is also known as color
deficiency. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot distinguish between certain colors.
This usually happens between greens and reds, and occasionally blues.

In the retina, there are two types of cells that detect light. They are called rods and cones. Rods
detect only light and dark and are very sensitive to low light levels. Cone cells detect color and are
concentrated near the center of your vision. There are three types of cones that see color: red, green
and blue. The brain uses input from these cone cells to determine our color perception.

Color blindness can happen when one or more of the color cone cells are absent, not working, or
detect a different color than normal. Severe color blindness occurs when all three cone cells are
absent. Mild color blindness happens when all three cone cells are present but one cone cell does not
work right. It detects a different color than normal.

There are different degrees of color blindness. Some people with mild color deficiencies can see
colors normally in good light but have difficulty in dim light. Others cannot distinguish certain colors in
any light. The most severe form of color blindness, in which everything is seen in shades of gray, is
uncommon. Color blindness usually affects both eyes equally and remains stable throughout life.

Color blindness is usually something that you have from birth but you can also get it later in life.
Change in color vision can signify a more serious condition. Anyone who experiences a significant
change in color perception should see an ophthalmologist.

north coast, has dealt a severe blow to Kenya’s tourism industry. The latest attacks have seriously
dented Kenya’s image abroad and badly affected the tourism sector which has been on a downward
trend in the last one year. Acknowledged worldwide as a top tourist destination and boasting of
famous beaches and wildlife safaris, the Kenyan tourism sector is now at its lowest ebb.

According to the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), several hotels at the Kenyan coast have
scaled down operations, and others have closed down. The Mpeketoni killing comes in the wake of a
spate of terror linked attacks in Kenya’s major towns which now threatens to cripple the once booming
tourism sector. Two days before the Mpeketoni assault, the United Kingdom had closed down its
Honorary Consulate in Mombasa citing security fears. In mid May, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth
Office advised its citizens against all but essential travel to Mombasa. Following this travel advisory,
more than 500 UK citizens who were holidaying in Mombasa were evacuated. The UK is the largest
tourist source market for Kenya. France, US and Australia took the cue from the UK government and
issued similar travel advisories and scaling down the operations of their embassies.

According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), tourism accounts for 12 percent of
Kenya’s economy earning revenues that average $1.1 billion annually. Tourism occupies a central
place in Kenya which is East Africa’s largest economy. After agriculture’s main exports of tea, coffee,
and horticulture, tourism is the second foreign exchange earner for Kenya.

Growing insecurity is among the main reasons given by the tourism ministry explaining the
declining tourists’ arrivals. The FKE has called on the government to contain the rising insecurity as
the woes on the hospitality industry are having a spiral effect on other sectors. The government has
given all assurances of remedying the lapses within the security system and increased allocations to
the military, police and intelligence services. This increased budget is aimed at modernizing the police
service, adopting latest surveillance gadgetry and boosting morale within the entire security system.

The tourism issue encountered by Kenya which is depicted in the passage is most analogous with
which of the following condition?

a. A country was lockdowned due to a pandemic disease.

b. Government raised fuel price to solve economic issue.

c. Pickpocketing made customers reluctant to shop in a shopping center.

d. A multi layer bank security system protected their assets and employees.

8. The question is based on the following passage.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the
construction industry. Today's buzz words, which include global warming and zero emissions, are
causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing environmentally-
friendly property is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the
well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being
designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of
these communities. Its goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighbourhood.

Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure
proper ventilation and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building
materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo
wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticide to grow.

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside green. Not only
do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot
water, but they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home
owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Though they are sharing space by
investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility metres. Studies show that people
use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water
is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside
Green will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all
of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents
will be encouraged to make use of mini transit system and buy into the community’s car share
program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable
biomass instead of fossil fuels.

12. The following question is based on this text.

In 2017, violence-related injuries led to approximately 67,000 deaths in the United States. Suicide
was the 10th and homicide is the 16th leading cause of death overall in the United States. Suicide
disproportionately affected young and middle-aged populations while homicide disproportionately
affected young persons.

Public health authorities require accurate, timely, and complete surveillance data to better
understand and ultimately prevent the occurrence of violent deaths in the United States. In 2000, in
response to an Institute of Medicine report noting the need for a national fatal intentional injury
surveillance system, CDC began planning to implement the National Violent Death Reporting System
(NVDRS). The goals of NVDRS are to:

collect and analyze timely, quality data for monitoring the magnitude and characteristics of
violent deaths at national, state, and local levels;

ensure data are disseminated routinely and expeditiously to public health officials, law
enforcement officials, policymakers, and the public;
ensure data are used to develop, implement, and evaluate programs and strategies that are
intended to reduce and prevent violent deaths and injuries at national, state, and local levels; and
build and strengthen partnerships among organizations and communities at national, state, and
local levels to ensure that data are collected and used to reduce and prevent violent deaths and
injuries.

NVDRS is a state-based active surveillance system that collects data on the characteristics and
circumstances associated with violence-related deaths in participating states, districts, and territories.
Deaths collected by NVDRS include suicides, homicides, legal intervention deaths, unintentional
firearm deaths, and deaths of undetermined intent that might have been due to violence. The term
“legal intervention” is a classification incorporated into the International Classification of Diseases,
Tenth Revision , and does not denote the lawfulness or legality of the circumstances surrounding a
death caused by law enforcement.

Demographic patterns and circumstances varied by manner of death. The suicide rate was higher
among males than among females and was highest among adults aged 45–64 years. Suicide was most
often preceded by a mental health, intimate partner, or physical health problem or a recent or
impending crisis during the previous or upcoming 2 weeks. The homicide rate was highest among
persons aged 20–24 years and was higher among males than females. Homicide most often was
precipitated by an argument or conflict, occurred in conjunction with another crime, or, for female
victims, was related to intimate partner violence. Almost all legal intervention deaths were among
males, and the legal intervention death rate was highest among men aged 25–29 years. The most
frequent circumstances for legal intervention deaths were reported use of a weapon by the victim in
the incident and a mental health or substance use problem (other than alcohol use). These deaths
most often occurred while the shooter was playing with a firearm and most frequently were
precipitated by a person unintentionally pulling the trigger or mistakenly thinking the firearm was
unloaded.

surveillance system, CDC began planning to implement the National Violent Death Reporting System
(NVDRS). The goals of NVDRS are to:

collect and analyze timely, quality data for monitoring the magnitude and characteristics of
violent deaths at national, state, and local levels;
ensure data are disseminated routinely and expeditiously to public health officials, law
enforcement officials, policymakers, and the public;
ensure data are used to develop, implement, and evaluate programs and strategies that are
intended to reduce and prevent violent deaths and injuries at national, state, and local levels; and
build and strengthen partnerships among organizations and communities at national, state, and

Vaccines are considered one of the most important medical advances in the history of humanity,
preventing, and eradicating diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that vaccines
save around 2–3 million lives a year. Traditional vaccines are based on two main methodologies: live-
attenuated and inactivated/killed pathogens. Even though vaccines produced with these methods are
immunologically effective, they still show some disadvantages, such as the need for a cold-chain,
reduced shelf life, and the time-consuming processes involved in the production and purification.

New methodologies have been used, such as subunit and recombinant vaccines that weakly
stimulate the immune system, and their immunological effect is of short durability, so they require the
use of adjuvant to potentiate their effect. Currently available adjuvants may lead to unwanted effects,
such as the generation of granulomas, allergies, and neurotoxicity due to the different components
used. Moreover, even with the evolution of vaccines, vaccination continues to represent a high cost
mainly for developing countries due to the fact that they have the highest number of people
vulnerable to infectious diseases. An effective, low cost technology to produce thermostable vaccines
would represent a major advancement in the fight against infectious diseases worldwide and may
significantly reduce the risk of pandemics.

For this reason, in recent years new technologies have been developed to advance in the production
of more efficient and safer vaccines. Lowering the cost of vaccines is an essential step to facilitate
massive vaccination, especially in isolated areas where the cold-chain cannot be maintained easily.
This last point is especially important since the cold chain represents about 80% of the cost of
vaccines.

The use of biomaterials are a central part of novel strategies to develop next-generation vaccines
delivery systems with improved thermostability. Some insect viruses have developed a remarkable
strategy to maintain virus viability for years at ambient temperature. The strategy is based on the
generation of crystal structures known as polyhedra, where the virus is occluded and protected from
the environment for several years. Most interestingly, a single protein (known as polyhedrin) forms the
polyhedra crystal during the infection of insect cells. Polyhedrin self-aggregates inside the nucleus and
during aggregation viruses get occluded inside the crystal. Thus, polyhedra is a natural preservative of

proteins, whose function is to maintain the virus viable for many years at ambient temperature. One of
the most studied insect viruses that forms polyhedra is called the Autographa californica multiple
nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV).

What will happen when the same concept of polyhedra in virus has successfully been adopted in
vaccine production?

a. The large scale vaccination will be available for developing countries.

b. Vaccine will be more heat resistant and thus become more economical.

c. Vaccine production industry may gain more profit from enhanced vaccine quality.

d. Another obstacle will be identified and the need for further enhancement will be present.
