2841. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1935, around one hundred cane toads were brought from Hawaii to Queensland, Australia, in the hope that they would eat beetles that were damaging the sugar cane crops. The plan failed: the beetles lived high up on the cane stalks, where the ground-dwelling toads could not reach them. Worse, the toads had few natural enemies in Australia and bred rapidly. Today there are millions of them across much of northern Australia. Because the toads are poisonous, native animals that try to eat them, such as some snakes and lizards, often die. Why did the plan to control the beetles fail?

      कFarmers killed the toads before they could breed. खThe toads died in the Australian climate. गThe toads could not reach the beetles high on the cane stalks. घThe beetles were poisonous to the toads.

2842. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1960, the young British researcher Jane Goodall was watching wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, when she saw a male chimpanzee strip the leaves from a twig, push it into a termite mound and pull it out covered in termites, which he then ate. At the time, many scientists defined humans as the only animals that made tools. Goodall's observation forced them to rethink that definition. Her mentor, Louis Leakey, famously remarked that scientists would now have to redefine 'tool', redefine 'man', or accept chimpanzees as humans. What does Leakey's remark suggest?

      कLeakey thought Goodall's observation was mistaken. खThe word 'tool' should no longer be used in science. गChimpanzees should be legally treated as humans. घThe discovery had major consequences for how scientists define humans.

2844. Read the passage and answer the question. The Paralympic movement began in 1948 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England. Dr Ludwig Guttmann, who treated soldiers with spinal injuries from the Second World War, organised an archery competition for wheelchair users on the same day as the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. He believed that sport could help his patients recover physically and regain their self-confidence. The event grew year by year, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome. What was special about the date of the first competition?

      कIt was the first day the hospital opened. खIt was the same day as the first Paralympic Games in Rome. गIt was the same day as the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. घIt was the day the Second World War ended.

2846. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1895, the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen was experimenting with an electric current in a glass tube when he noticed that a nearby screen had begun to glow. He realised that some invisible kind of ray was passing through the black paper that covered the tube. Because he did not know what the rays were, he called them 'X-rays', using X as the symbol for something unknown. Within weeks, he had made an image of the bones in his wife's hand. In 1901 he received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery. What first made Röntgen aware of the rays?

      कAnother scientist told him about them. खThe black paper around the tube caught fire. गA screen near the tube began to glow. घHe saw the bones in his wife's hand.

2848. Read the passage and answer the question. For centuries, sailors on long voyages suffered from scurvy, a disease that causes bleeding gums, extreme tiredness and, eventually, death. In 1747, a Scottish naval surgeon, James Lind, tested several possible treatments on sick sailors. Those who were given oranges and lemons recovered much faster than the others. Today we know that scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, which fresh fruit and vegetables provide. Although Lind's result was clear, several decades passed before the British navy regularly supplied its sailors with citrus juice. What does the final sentence suggest about the British navy?

      कIt refused to believe that scurvy existed. खIt gave sailors citrus juice before Lind's experiment. गIt was slow to act on Lind's findings. घIt stopped long voyages because of scurvy.

2850. Read the passage and answer the question. In a classic experiment published by the psychologist John Ridley Stroop in 1935, people were shown colour words printed in ink of different colours and asked to name the colour of the ink. When the word 'red' was printed in red ink, participants answered quickly. But when the word 'red' was printed in green ink, they took noticeably longer to say 'green' and made more mistakes. For skilled readers, reading is so automatic that the meaning of the word interferes with the task of naming the colour. Versions of the test are still used today to study attention. As used in the passage, what does 'interferes with' mean?

      कspeeds up खreplaces गgets in the way of घimproves
