Explanation
Option C is the correct because the technology revolution has enabled us to get access to infinite information through internet, phones, computers, etc. Thus, "The golden age of answers" implies that there are better tools for searching information. Option A is incorrect because "The golden age of answers" means we have access to infinite information. Thus, ‘a diverse technology available in present times’ is not the appropriate answer. Option B is incorrect because "The golden age of answers" means we have access to infinite information. Technology has given us opportunities to connect with friends on Facebook; however, it is not the appropriate answer for this. Option D is incorrect because "The golden age of answers" means we have access to infinite information. Pop ads are advertisements about products in the market. Thus, option D is not the right answer.
The correct answer is option B.
The passage mentions the setting as Bal Griha of the children's aid society’. Also, the mention of Asma not caring to know about her life history from the orphanage files acts as an evidence that the setting of the passage is an orphanage.
Option A is incorrect because ‘hallway’ is not mentioned in the passage. The passage mentions that the children were stranded in a hall.
Option C is incorrect because nowhere in the passage there is a mention of a school.
Option D is incorrect because TV serial is mentioned as something that Asma loves to watch and not the setting of the passage.
Hence these options are incorrect and option B is the correct answer.
The clue for the answer is in the following sentence from the paragraph: "By that unforgettable signature as the seventeenth man of the MCC team, he showed ............he had nothing against the common man of England (which means the common people in Britain)". The word "he" refers to Gandhiji.
The English cricket team is usually made up of common people of Britain. Hence, by including himself among the English cricket team members, Gandhiji showed that he had nothing against the common people of Britain. It means, he had no objection to be listed as one among them. Hence, option C is correct.
Option A: The word, "British" means relating to Great Britain or United Kingdom. It is quite a broad term and could relate to the people or the language or the Government or anything related to Great Britain or United Kingdom. Gandhiji was against only the British Government. Hence, to mention that "he had nothing against British" is a very broad generalisation, which is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect because it is mentioned in the passage that he was prepared to fight the British Government for the independence of India. So, it is clear that he was against the British government. Hence, to say that "he had nothing against the British Government" (which means the opposite) is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because option C is correct.
It is mentioned in the passage that ‘Laxmi had given me an autograph book to get the autographs of visiting players’. "To get the autographs" is an infinitive which means: "In order to get the autographs". So option C is the right answer.
Option A is incorrect because "writing down scores" is not mentioned as the purpose for which Lakshmi gave the book.
Option B: The narrator mentions that he carefully put down MCC touring team in 1933-34 on one of the pages. However, the purpose of putting down the names (or listing the names) was to get the autograph of each of the players against their names. Hence, listing down the team members is not the purpose of giving the autograph book. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: It is mentioned in the passage that ‘Laxmi had given me an autograph book to get the autographs of visiting players’. Though Gandhiji's autograph was taken in the same book, it was not given particularly for getting Gandhiji's autograph. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Following are the sentences, which provide clues to the answer:
- The first paragraph mentions that the narrator got his chance to play test cricket in India. It also mentions that he did sufficiently well to retain his place in all the three test matches. The second paragraph mention that his younger sister's name is "Lakshmi"- an Indian name. Hence, we can conclude that the narrator, who played all three test matches is an Indian. Hence, India is one of the countries which played the three test matches.
- The first paragraph also mentions that "MCC team under Douglas Jardine was in our country to play three test matches". However, this paragraph does not mention which country, the MCC team belongs to.
- In the second paragraph, the narrator mentions that Gandhiji wrote his name underneath the names of the MCC players and included himself as the seventeenth team member of the MCC. Further, it mentions: "He (implying Gandhiji) was prepared to put himself down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team. Hence, we can conclude the the MCC team refers to the English Cricket team. Therefore, the other team which played three test matches belongs to England.
Hence, option B is correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect as the countries- West Indies, Australia and S. Africa are not mentioned in the passage.
It is mentioned in the passage that ‘he showed that although he was prepared to fight the British Government tooth and nail for the independence of India’. The word, 'he' refers to Gandhiji. Hence, we know that Mahatma Gandhi was fighting the British government for freedom. Option C is the right answer.
Option A is incorrect because it is mentioned in the passage that "he had nothing against the common man of England". The words, "common man" refers to the British people. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect because ‘British Governor’ is not mentioned in the passage.
Option D is not applicable because only option C is the correct answer.
The correct answer is option A.
It is mentioned in the passage that ‘Water gushed in from all sides and inched up.’ So the natural calamity that the passage mentions is ‘floods’. Thus, option A is the right answer.
Option B is incorrect because heavy rains caused the floods. Heavy rains is not a calamity in itself , it is the cause of the calamity.
Option C is incorrect because ‘electricity failure’ is not mentioned in the passage and it is not a natural calamity.
Option D is incorrect because ‘waterfall’ is not a natural calamity and the question is on the natural calamity being described in the passage.
Hence options B,C and D are incorrect and option A is the correct answer.
