451. Read the passage and answer the question. Our grandmother never measured anything when she cooked. A 'handful' of rice, a 'pinch' of salt, cook it 'until it smells right'. When my sister tried to write down her recipes, she found it impossible. In the end she simply cooked beside our grandmother every Saturday for a year, watching, tasting and making mistakes, until her dal tasted just like the original. What does the passage suggest about learning to cook like the grandmother?

     कIt required practice and observation rather than written instructions. खIt was impossible to learn. गIt could be learned from a cookbook. घIt took only a few days.

453. Read the passage and answer the question. For years, the council tried to stop people from dumping rubbish on the empty land beside the river. Warning signs were ignored, and fines were rarely collected. Then a group of students cleaned the site and turned it into a small garden with flowers, benches and a mural. Since then, the dumping has stopped almost completely. People, it seems, are less willing to spoil a place that someone obviously cares for. What does the passage suggest about the council's earlier methods?

     कThey were largely ineffective. खThey were very successful. गThey were too expensive. घThey were popular with students.

455. Read the passage and answer the question. Kites have been flown in China for over two thousand years. They were not always toys.

457. Read the passage and answer the question. Is it better to study in long sessions or short ones? A large number of experiments suggest that spreading study over several short sessions, with breaks of a day or more between them, leads to better long-term memory than studying the same material for the same total time in one long session. Psychologists call this the spacing effect. Cramming the night before an exam may help you pass the next morning, but much of the information is soon forgotten. What does the writer say about cramming the night before an exam?

     कIt may help in the short term but is poor for long-term memory. खIt is the most effective way to study. गIt always leads to failure. घIt improves long-term memory.
