The achievement of science in the twentieth century has been very great.
Its influence can be felt in every sphere of life. From the small pins and
needles to the huge iron sheets and joints, most of the things we require
for our everyday use, come out of factories where scientific principles are
utilized for practical ends. Science has enabled man to bring forces of
nature under control and to use them for his own advantage. It has
brought the distant parts of the world close together. Our knowledge of
the universe has been much widened on account of the untiring efforts of
the astronomers like Jeans and Eddington. Remarkable cures of human
diseases have been possible owing to the discovery of some wonderful
medicines.

And yet it is one of the simplest ideas that anyone ever had. Here I
want to persuade you how evolution explains the beginning of life
on earth. Darwin uncovered the theory of evolution and the method
of natural selection. The idea of evolution is probably one of the most
important ideas that anyone has ever had. Today, thanks to Darwin,
we know why life is the way it is. We can predict how life will be in the
future. We can even postulate about the life on other planets. How
amazing is that! Now answer the following questions:

Q 1. What is the topic of the paragraph?

A) The idea of evolution is simple.
B) Evolution is important.
C) It tells us about the origin of life.
D) By evolution, we can make predictions.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the process of sedimentation. Layer after layer
of minerals is deposited over a great span of time, resulting in the formation of a
sedimentary rock. As a result, each layer is different if the conditions under which
its deposits were different. Thus we can say that a sedimentary rock is a sort
of museum, holding the records of all the time over which it was formed, which by
all means can be as long as a billion years.

Q 1. A sedimentary rock gets its name from the fact that

A) These rocks are formed up of small sediments of minerals.
B) It is very old and is a slow process
C) Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of sedimentation of minerals.
D) The rocks are broken into small sediments easily.
