Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier months, thus improving late-summer stream flows.

In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species, including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame.

Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately .

 

What is the overall sense conveyed by the author when the specific birds that live in riparian areas are listed in the passage?

A) Urgency on behalf of endangered species. B) The rich and varied life in such areas.
C) His or her own importance as a scientific expert. D) Poetic wander

Awareness means the capacity to see a coffee pot and hear the birds sing in one's own way, and not the way one was taught. It may be assumed on good grounds that seeing and hearing have a different quality for infants than for grownups and that they are more aesthetic and less intellectual in the first years of life. A little boy sees and hears birds with delight. Then the 'good father' comes along and feels he should 'share' the experience and help his son 'develop'. He says, "That's a jay and this is a sparrow." The moment the little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing. He has to see and hear them the way his father wants him to. Father has good reasons on his side: since few people can afford to go through life listening to the birds sing, sooner the little boy starts his 'education' the better. Maybe he will be an ornithologist when he grows up.


The passage implies that when the boy starts his 'education' he will _____ .

A) have a more aesthetic outlook B) be able to identify a jay and a sparrow
C) see and hear the bird's song with delight D) have a more intellectual outlook
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) have a more intellectual outlook

Q:

In the following code in which order the functions would be called?

a = ( f1 ( 23,14 ) * f2 ( 12/4) ) + f3() ;

Answer

The order may vary from compiler to compiler.


Here the multiplication will happen before the addition , but in which order the functions would be called is undefined. In an arithmetic expression the parentheses tell the compiler which operands go with which operators but do not force the compiler to evaluate everything within the parentheses first.
