No matter how categorically a party or candidate might comment, the problems of education cannot compete with those of water and electricity supply or the condition of roads. These problems affect the daily life of a citizen more elementally than education does.

Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. There are many things that make humans a unique species, but a couple of them stand out. One is our mind; the other our brain. The human mind can carry out cognitive tasks that other animals cannot, like using language, and inferring what others are thinking. The human brain is exceptional, too. At three pounds, it is gigantic relative to our body size. Our closest living relatives—chimpanzees—have brains that are only a third as big. Scientists have long suspected that our big brain and powerful mind are intimately connected. Starting about three million years ago, fossils of our ancient relatives record a huge increase in brain size. Once that cranial growth was underway, our forerunners started leaving behind signs of increasingly sophisticated minds, like cave paintings. But scientists have long struggled to understand how a simple increase in size could lead to the evolution of those faculties. Now, two Harvard neuroscientists, Randy L Buckner and Fenna M Krienen, have offered an explanation. In our smaller-brained ancestors, the researchers argue, neurons were tightly tethered in a relatively simple pattern of connections. When our ancestors’ brains expanded, those tethers ripped apart, enabling our neurons to form new circuits. Buckner and Krienen have called their idea the tether hypothesis, and presented it in a paper in the December issue of the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences. Buckner and Krienen developed their hypothesis after making detailed maps of the connections in the human brain, using fMRI scanners. When they compared their maps with those of other species’ brains, they saw some striking differences. The outer layers of mammal brains are divided into regions called cortices. The visual cortex occupies the rear of the brain. That is where neurons process signals from the eyes, recognising edges, shading and other features. There are cortices for the other senses, too. The sensory cortices relay signals to another set of regions called motor cortices. The motor cortices send out commands. This circuit is good for controlling basic mammal behaviour. “You experience something in the world and you respond to it,” Krienen said. This relatively simple behaviour is reflected in how the neurons are wired. The neurons in one region mostly make short connections to a neighboring region. They carry signals through the brain like a bucket brigade from the sensory cortices to the motor cortices. The bucket brigade begins to take shape when mammals are still embryos. Different regions of the brain release chemical signals, which attract developing neurons. 51. What does the author want to suggest by giving the example of cave paintings? 1) That our ancestors were fond of wild animals and carved their paintings on the walls of the caves. 52. 53. 2) That our ancestors had least developed brains and they could not think beyond drawing some rough sketches of animals found around them. 3) That the cave paintings suggest that the growth of cranial nerves was in the process of development then. 4) That our forerunners were aware of colours, which is evident from Ajanta cave paintings. 5) None of these Which of the following is responsible for the perception of image of an object? Reply on the basis of the given passage. 1) Rods and cone cells present in the retina 2) The visual cortex present in the forebrain 3) The visual cortex present in the hind brain 4) The eyeball located in the vitreous cavity 5) None of these What makes humans different from animals?

Which of the following statements is not based on the facts mentioned in the given passage? 1) In animals the development of bucket brigade starts in the embryonic stage of development. 2) Any type of signal is carried through the brain from the sensory cortices to the motor cortices. 3) The developing neurons get attracted towards the electrical impulse generated in the different regions of the brain. 4) The signal behaviour like responding to any experience in the world is reflected in the tethering pattern of neurons. 5) None of these Find out the correct statement(s) on the basis of the given passage.

Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. In 1973, a Bench comprising 13 Supreme Court judges ruled by a majority that Article 368 of the Constitution “does not enable Parliament to alter the basic structure or framework of the Constitution.” The Court ruled what has come to be known as “the basic structure” doctrine — a judicial principle that the Indian Constitution has certain “basic features” that cannot be altered or destroyed through amendments by Parliament. Paramount among these are the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Only two years later, the Allahabad High Court found the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractices. Justice Jagmohan Lal Sinha invalidated Mrs Gandhi’s win and barred her from holding elected office for six years. The decision caused a political crisis in India that led to the imposition of the Emergency by Mrs Gandhi’s government from 1975 to 1977. During the Emergency, Mrs Gandhi altered the election law retroactively by the 39th amendment to the Constitution. Article 329A was inserted to void the Allahabad judgment. The retroactive, undemocratic, and politically motivated legislative enactment validated an election. The amendment secured her position and prevented her removal from Indian politics. Later the enactment was successfully challenged in the light of the 1973 ruling and Article 329A was struck down. The judiciary curtailed autocratic politics — a stitch in time saved nine. Our fundamental rights are the conscience of the Constitution. This right, and every other legal right, stems from our ability to retain the integrity and the structure of our Constitution. There is a hard-learnt, intellectual history to this legal inheritance. The principle of the basic structure of the Constitution is enshrined in Article 79 (3) of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany. The German Constitution was drafted during 1948-49, in the immediate shadow of its Nazi past. During the drafting sessions, the Weimar Constitution came under immense scrutiny by German jurists and scholars, who investigated the document at great length. The Constitution’s broad powers to suspend civil liberties, coupled with an insufficient system of checks and balances, presented a structural opportunity for Adolf Hitler to seize power and preside upon an authoritarian democracy. 61. What was the reason of imposition of Emergency by Mrs Indira Gandhi in 1975? 1) She wanted to teach a lesson to lethargic bureaucrats and rude opposition leaders. 2) She wanted to take revenge on an arrogant judiciary. 3) She was afraid of imminent attack on India by its neighbouring country Pakistan. 4) She wanted to show her power to eminent world leaders. 5) A political crisis caused by the decision of invalidating the decision of her win 62. What is the essence of the Article 368 of the Indian Constitution? Give your answer in the context of the passage. 1) Article 368 lays down the procedure for Constitutional amendment in any part of the Constitution. 2) Article 368 of the Constitution does not permit even parliament to change the basic features of the Indian Constitution. 3) Article 368 is related to the imposition of emergency in case of a political crisis in India. 4) Article 368 does not allow amendment in the Preamble of the Constitution of India. 5) None of these 63. According to the given passage, what did Mrs Gandhi do during the Emergency? (A) She inserted a new article to quash the judgement which prevented her from holding elected office.

What if hens (81) low-cholesterol and therefore, healthier eggs, cows produce 30% more milk with cheaper cattle feed and butter chicken becomes more nutritious? There must be something (82) about this, or someone’s been drinking, right? Right – and true. India’s poultry and dairy industries (83) discovered that fish residue and brewery (84) as poultry and cattle feed, respectively, make eggs healthier and milk more (85). The science is this: If hens are fed with fish residue, the healthy cholesterol-battling Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil easily move through the hen’s digestive system to the yolk of the egg, which is (86) a cholesterol bomb. Even butter chicken will be relatively healthy if the bird is fed this diet. For dairies, the brewery waste is (87) of nutrients – only starch from the grain is used to make alcohol – lacking in traditional cattle feed (88) rice husk.
