2851. 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. Why were participants slower when the word and the ink colour did not match?

      कThey had been told to read the words aloud. खThey did not know the names of the colours. गThe green ink was harder to see than the red ink. घAutomatically reading the word interfered with naming the colour.

2852. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1993, researchers reported that college students who had listened to a Mozart sonata for ten minutes performed slightly better on a spatial reasoning task than students who had sat in silence. The improvement was small and lasted only about fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, newspapers soon announced that listening to Mozart makes people, especially babies, more intelligent, and companies began selling classical music recordings for infants. Later studies found the effect difficult to reproduce. Some researchers suggested that any music the listeners enjoyed might simply put them in a better mood and so temporarily improve their performance. What alternative explanation did some researchers suggest?

      कSilence makes people less able to concentrate. खEnjoyable music may improve mood and so performance for a short time. गStudents who listen to music are naturally more intelligent. घMozart's music contains special mathematical patterns.

The improvement was small and lasted only about fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, newspapers soon announced that listening to Mozart makes people, especially babies, more intelligent, and companies began selling classical music recordings for infants. Later studies found the effect difficult to reproduce. Some researchers suggested that any music the listeners enjoyed might simply put them in a better mood and so temporarily improve their performance. How did the newspaper reports differ from the research?

      कThey claimed a general effect on intelligence, including in babies, although the study tested college students on one task. खThey reported the study accurately but in less detail. गThey said the effect lasted fifteen minutes rather than ten. घThey claimed that the study had used babies instead of students.

2855. Read the passage and answer the question. The Venus flytrap grows naturally in only a small area of wetlands in North and South Carolina in the United States. The soil there is poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, so the plant obtains extra nutrients by catching insects. Each trap is made of two leaf lobes with tiny trigger hairs on the inside. If an insect touches the hairs twice within a short time, the trap snaps shut. Requiring two touches helps the plant avoid wasting energy on raindrops or falling bits of leaves. Like other green plants, however, the flytrap still makes most of its food by photosynthesis. Which statement is supported by the passage?

      कThe flytrap cannot survive without catching insects. खThe flytrap gets most of its food from photosynthesis. गThe flytrap grows wild in many parts of the world. घThe flytrap's soil is rich in nitrogen.

Like other green plants, however, the flytrap still makes most of its food by photosynthesis. Why does the trap close only after its hairs are touched twice?

      कbecause one touch is not strong enough to move the lobes खso that the insect has time to escape गbecause the hairs grow back slowly घso that it does not waste energy closing on things that are not food

2858. Read the passage and answer the question. Many people call spiders insects, but biologists place them in a different group, the arachnids. An insect has six legs and a body divided into three parts: the head, the thorax and the abdomen. Most insects also have antennae, and many have wings. A spider, by contrast, has eight legs and a body in two main parts, and it has neither antennae nor wings. Scorpions, ticks and mites are also arachnids. So the next time you see a spider in the corner of your room, remember that it is more closely related to a scorpion than to a fly. What is the writer's main purpose?

      कto persuade readers to keep spiders as pets खto explain how spiders build webs गto correct a common mistake about spiders घto warn readers that spiders are dangerous

2860. Read the passage and answer the question. Walk into many school and public libraries and you will notice numbers on the spines of the non-fiction books. These numbers usually come from the Dewey Decimal Classification, a system first published by the American librarian Melvil Dewey in 1876. It divides knowledge into ten main classes, each given a range of numbers between 000 and 999. For example, books on the natural sciences and mathematics are placed in the 500s. Numbers after a decimal point allow librarians to divide each subject further, so that books on closely related topics sit next to each other on the shelves. Why are numbers after a decimal point used?

      कto separate fiction from non-fiction खto show the number of copies a library owns गto divide a subject into narrower topics घto mark the year a book was published
