Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

My coat's pretty warm, even though it cost £9.99 and came from the flea market. It had a label in it, CHRISTIN BIOR, but I cut it out as soon as I got home. You can't work where I work and have CHRISTIN BIOR in your coat. You could have a genuine vintage Christian Dior label. Or something Japanese. Or maybe no label because you make your clothes yourself out of retro fabrics that you source at Alfies Antiques. But not CHRISTIN BIOR.

As I get near Catford Bridge, I start to feel a knot of tension. I really don't want to be late today. My boss has started throwing all sorts of hissy fits about people "swanning in at all times," so I left an extra twenty minutes early, in case it was a bad day. I can already see: It's a god-awful day. They've been having a lot of problems on our line recently and keep cancelling trains with no warning. Trouble is, in London rush hour, you can't just cancel trains. What are all the people who were planning to get on that train supposed to do? Evaporate?

What has been the problem with London trains lately?

A) The trains have become awful. B) There are more trains during rush hour.
C) People are late to work because of train delays. D) Trains are cancelled without prior intimation.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Trains are cancelled without prior intimation.

Q:

The Summary Settlement of 1856 was based on which one of the following assumptions?

 

A) The Talukdars were the rightful owners of the land B) The Talukdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in the land.
C) The Talukdars could evict the peasants from the lands D) The Talukdars would take a portion of the revenue which flowed to the State
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) The Talukdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in the land.

Explanation:

The British land revenue policy further undermined the position and authority of the taluqdars. After annexation, the first British revenue settlement, known as the Summary Settlement of 1856, was based on the assumption that the taluqdars were interlopers with no permanent stakes in land: they had established their hold over land through force and fraud.
