751. Read the passage and answer the question. Many people believe they are good at multitasking, but research suggests that the brain does not really perform two demanding tasks at the same time. Instead, it switches rapidly between them. Each switch takes a small amount of time and effort, and these 'switching costs' add up. As a result, people who try to write a report while answering messages often take longer and make more mistakes than if they had completed the tasks one after another. Simple activities, such as walking while talking, are an exception, because one of them requires very little attention. What are 'switching costs'?

     कThe money spent on new technology खThe time and effort lost each time attention moves between tasks गThe penalty for missing a deadline घThe cost of hiring an assistant

According to the research, what does the brain actually do when we try to do two demanding tasks?

     कIt switches quickly between the tasks खIt performs both tasks at the same time गIt ignores the more difficult task घIt completes the easier task first

753. Read the passage and answer the question. Boredom is usually seen as something to avoid. Yet some psychologists argue that it may have a useful purpose. When we are bored, the mind begins to wander, and this daydreaming can lead to new connections between ideas. In one study, people who first completed a dull task, such as copying numbers from a telephone directory, later produced more creative answers in a test than people who had not been bored. The researchers do not suggest that boredom is always good. Rather, they believe that constantly filling every quiet moment with a phone may take away chances for creative thinking. In the sentence 'the mind begins to wander', what does 'wander' mean?

     कbecome confused and anxious खfall asleep गconcentrate harder घmove freely from one thought to another

757. Read the passage and answer the question. A survey of 1,200 households in a large city found that the average family threw away about one fifth of the food it bought. Fresh vegetables, bread and cooked rice were the items most often wasted. The main reasons given were buying more than was needed, cooking too much, and forgetting about food at the back of the fridge. Interestingly, families who planned their meals for the week and wrote a shopping list wasted only about half as much as those who did not. The researchers suggest that simple habits, rather than expensive technology, could make the biggest difference. What is the researchers' main conclusion?

     कFamilies should buy smart fridges खFood waste cannot be reduced गRice should not be cooked at home घSimple everyday habits can reduce food waste the most
