291. Read the passage and answer the question. Tardigrades, sometimes called 'water bears', are tiny animals usually less than one millimetre long. They are famous for surviving conditions that would kill almost any other animal, including extreme cold, years without water and high levels of radiation. When their surroundings dry out, they pull in their legs, lose most of the water in their bodies and enter a state in which their life processes almost stop. When water returns, they can become active again. The word 'they' in the last sentence refers to ___.

     कtheir legs खlevels of radiation गtardigrades घconditions

292. Read the passage and answer the question. Salmon begin life in freshwater rivers. After a year or more, the young fish swim down to the sea, where they spend several years feeding and growing. When they are ready to breed, most of them make an extraordinary journey back to the very river where they hatched, sometimes swimming hundreds of kilometres upstream. Scientists believe they use their sense of smell to recognise the water of their home river. According to the passage, how do salmon probably find their home river?

     कBy recognising the smell of its water खBy following other species of fish गBy using the position of the sun घBy remembering the shape of the coastline

293. Read the passage and answer the question. During the Second World War, British newspapers reported that the country's night-time fighter pilots were so successful because they ate large amounts of carrots, which improved their eyesight in the dark. In reality, the pilots' success was largely due to a new radar system, which the government wanted to keep secret from the enemy. Carrots do contain vitamin A, which the eyes need, but eating extra carrots does not give anyone special night vision. What can be inferred about the carrot story?

     कIt was spread partly to hide the real reason for the pilots' success. खIt was invented by enemy newspapers. गIt was based on a scientific experiment with pilots. घIt made the radar system less effective.

294. Read the passage and answer the question. The saying 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' is simply untrue. Tall buildings, towers and lone trees are struck again and again, because lightning tends to hit the highest point in an area. The Empire State Building in New York, for example, is struck many times every year. This is why tall buildings are fitted with lightning rods, which carry the electric current safely into the ground. What is the purpose of a lightning rod, according to the passage?

     कTo carry the current safely into the ground खTo attract lightning away from cities गTo measure how often lightning strikes घTo stop lightning from forming

295. Read the passage and answer the question. It is often said that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are frightened. They do not. When an ostrich senses danger and cannot run, it may lie down and press its long neck flat along the ground to avoid being seen. From a distance, its head seems to disappear, which may explain the myth. Ostriches also lower their heads into their nests, which are shallow holes in the ground, to turn their eggs. According to the passage, why might people believe ostriches bury their heads?

     कOstriches are often seen eating sand. खOstriches lay their eggs deep underground. गOstriches cannot run when they are afraid. घFrom far away, a hiding ostrich's head seems to vanish.

296. Read the passage and answer the question. Many school textbooks once showed a 'tongue map', with sweetness tasted only at the tip, bitterness at the back and sourness and saltiness at the sides. Scientists now know this map is wrong. It came from a misunderstanding of a German study published in 1901, which found only small differences in sensitivity. In fact, all areas of the tongue that have taste buds can detect all the basic tastes. What does the writer say about the 'tongue map'?

     कIt is correct for sweet tastes but not for bitter ones. खIt was first proposed by modern scientists. गIt explains why some people cannot taste salt. घIt is based on a misunderstanding of earlier research.

297. Read the passage and answer the question. The Eastgate Centre, an office and shopping building in Harare, Zimbabwe, has no conventional air-conditioning system. Its architect, Mick Pearce, studied how termites keep their mounds at a steady temperature by allowing air to flow through tunnels. The building copies this idea: cool night air is drawn in and stored in its thick walls and floors, and warm air escapes through chimneys. As a result, it uses much less energy than similar buildings. Which of the following best describes the passage?

     कA history of air-conditioning खA study of how termites find food गA comparison of buildings in Zimbabwe and elsewhere घAn example of design inspired by nature

298. Read the passage and answer the question. The Titanic was described as almost unsinkable when it left Southampton for New York in April 1912. On its first voyage it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank in less than three hours. More than 1,500 people died, partly because the ship carried lifeboats for only about half of the people on board. After the disaster, new international rules required ships to carry enough lifeboats for everyone. What is the main point of the last sentence?

     कMost passengers survived in lifeboats. खShips stopped sailing across the North Atlantic. गThe disaster led to improved safety rules at sea. घThe Titanic had more lifeboats than other ships.

299. Read the passage and answer the question. When the Eiffel Tower was built for the Paris World's Fair of 1889, many leading artists and writers signed a letter calling it useless and ugly. The tower was given a permit to stand for only twenty years. It survived partly because it proved valuable as a tall antenna for radio communication. Today it is one of the most visited monuments in the world. According to the passage, what helped save the Eiffel Tower from being taken down?

     कA letter from famous artists खIts popularity with tourists in 1889 गA new permit for another World's Fair घIts usefulness for radio communication

300. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1968, Spencer Silver, a chemist at the company 3M, was trying to develop a very strong glue. Instead, he produced a weak adhesive that stuck lightly to surfaces and could be peeled off without leaving a mark. For years nobody found a use for it. Then, in 1974, his colleague Art Fry, who was tired of his paper bookmarks falling out of his hymn book, tried coating them with Silver's adhesive. The idea eventually became the sticky note. Why was Silver's adhesive at first considered a failure?

     कIt left marks on paper. खIt was too expensive to produce. गIt only stuck to bookmarks. घIt was much weaker than he had intended.
