Which of the following inferences is most strongly supported by the following lines taken from the novel written by Ethel Turner ? “Before you fairly start this story I should like to give you just a word of warning. If you imagine you are going to read of model children, with perhaps; a naughtily inclined one to point a moral, you had better lay down the book immediately and betake yourself to ‘Sandford and Merton’ or similar standard juvenile works. Not one of the seven is really good, for the very excellent reason that Australian children never are. In England, and America, and Africa, and Africa, and Asia, the little folks may be paragons of virtue, I know little about them. But in Australia a model child is - I say it not without thankfulness- an unknown quantity.”

Comprehension: (From 150-154) Read the passage given below and answer the following questions based on it. During our childhood in Goa, the baker used to be our friend, companion and guide. He used to come at least twice a day. Once, when he set out in the morning on his selling round, and then again, when he returned after emptying his huge basket. The jingling thud of his bamboo woke us up from sleep and we ran to meet and greet him. Why was it so? Was it for the love of the loaf? Not at all. The loaves were bought by some Paskine or Bastine, the maid-servant of the house! what we longed for were those breadbangles which we chose carefully. Sometimes it was sweet bread of special make. The baker made his musical entry on the scene with the ‘jhang, jhang’ sound of his specially made bamboo staff. One hand supported the basket on his head and the other banged the bamboo on the ground. He would greet the lady of the house with “Good morning” and then place his basket on the vertical bamboo. We kids would be pushed aside with a mild rebuke and the loaves would be delivered to the servant. But we would not give up. We would climb a bench or the parapet and peep into the basket, somehow. I can still recall the typical fragrance of those loaves. Loaves for the elders and the bangles for the children. Then we did not even care to brush our teeth or wash our mouths properly. And why should we? Who would take the trouble of plucking the mango-leaf for the toothbrush? And why was it necessary at all? The tiger never brushed his teeth. Hot tea could wash and clean up everything so nicely, after all! Select the most suitable synonym of the following word given in the passage. Fragrance

Comprehension: (From 161 to 170) Read the passage given below and answer the following questions based on it. In the early 1970s, when the world of Hindustani classical music was swept by the Kishori Amonkar wave, an HMV record, Night Melodies by Prabha Atre, a 43-year-old singer from Pune, made a splash. Comprising three presentations-Raag Maru Bihag, Raag Kalavati and a thumri in Mishra Khamaj- that cut across gharanas, the record struck a chord with classical music enthusiasts across the country. The piece de resistance was a bandish in Raag Kalavati, Tan man dhan, which has become one of the raga's most poplar renditions-mush like Kishori Amonkar's stellar presentation of another specimen of night music, Raag Bhoop. Atre, the Kirana gharana doynne and among the more progressive Hindustani classical music artist passed away in Pune at 91, just before she was to leave for Mumbai for a concert. She spent her life not just upholding the classical tradition but also questioning it. Describing the idea of singing a raga at a particular time as redundant, Atre didn't want to live in the inwardly world of sadhana alone. Riyaaz mattered, but so did her audience. She also liked delineating a raga through the use of sargam, considered declasses in the serious world of Hindustani khayal gayaki-also the topic of her PhD thesis. After questioning the system- like Amonkar and Kumar Gandharva-Atre decided to speak about it through her books, conversations, performances and lectures, riling many musicians and critics with her rebel attitude.

In the early 1970s, when the world of Hindustani classical music was swept by the Kishori Amonkar wave, an HMV record, Night Melodies by Prabha Atre, a 43-year-old singer from Pune, made a splash. Comprising three presentations-Raag Maru Bihag, Raag Kalavati and a thumri in Mishra Khamaj- that cut across gharanas, the record struck a chord with classical music enthusiasts across the country. The piece de resistance was a bandish in Raag Kalavati, Tan man dhan, which has become one of the raga's most poplar renditions-mush like Kishori Amonkar's stellar presentation of another specimen of night music, Raag Bhoop. Atre, the Kirana gharana doynne and among the more progressive Hindustani classical music artist passed away in Pune at 91, just before she was to leave for Mumbai for a concert. She spent her life not just upholding the classical tradition but also questioning it. Describing the idea of singing a raga at a particular time as redundant, Atre didn't want to live in the inwardly world of sadhana alone. Riyaaz mattered, but so did her audience. She also liked delineating a raga through the use of sargam, considered declasses in the serious world of Hindustani khayal gayaki-also the topic of her PhD thesis. After questioning the system- like Amonkar and Kumar Gandharva-Atre decided to speak about it through her books, conversations, performances and lectures, riling many musicians and critics with her rebel attitude. Select the option which is the most appropriate connection to the real-life situations.

Comprehension : (From 171 to 180) Read the passage given below and answer the following question based on it. The Bad al Manded is a 20-mile-wide, 70-mile long strait between the Horn of Africa and the southern trip of the Arabian Peninsula that forms the southern entrance to the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean beyond. The countries of Eritrea and Djibouti border it to the west, Yemen lies on its eastern edge. An island called Perim (also known as Mayyun) dominates the narrowest part of the Bab al Manded on the Yemeni side, and the scattered Seven Brothers Islands extend from Djibouti a few miles farther south. The name Bab al Manded means “Gate of Tears” or “Gate of Grief” in Arabic, from “bab” meaning “gate” and “mandeb” (of “mandab”) meaning “lamentation.” Its name appears to refer to the perils of navigating the narrow waterway, which is rife with crosscurrents, unpredictable winds, reefs, and shoals. Many ships in past centuries and millennia wrecked in the Bab al Manded, and modern ships also face the dangers of navel mines from bygone conflicts. The “Gate of Grief” gained new global importance after 1869, however, with the opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt, which joined the Gulf of Suez in the northwest of the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The canal led to a dramatic increase in shipping in the Red Sea and through the Bab al Mandeb, and it soon became the preferred shipping route between Europe and Asia.
