Questions

Q:

A passage with three blanks, followed by five options, each containing one word, is given. Choose the word that can fill all the three blanks.
Emission ____________ are the legal requirements governing air pollutants released into the atmosphere. Emission ___________ set quantitative limits on the permissible amount of specific air pollutants that may be released from specific sources over specific timeframes. They are generally designed to achieve air quality standards and to protect human life. Many emissions ____________ focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles (motor cars) and other powered vehicles. Others regulate emissions from industry, power plants, small equipment such as lawn mowers and diesel generators, and other sources of air pollution. While this have been used to dictate limits for conventional pollutants such as oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulphur (NOx and SOx), this regulatory technique may be used to regulate greenhouse gasses, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). In the US, this is given in pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour (lbs. CO2/MWhr), and kilograms CO2/MWhr elsewhere.

A) Norms B) Pollutants
C) Factors D) Standards
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Standards

Explanation:

From the given passage it is evident that we have to take the word filling the blanks in relation to the word ‘emission’ which means the production and discharge of something, especially gas or radiation. ‘Norms’ refer to a standard or pattern, especially of social behaviour, that is typical or expected. Thus ‘emission norms’ cannot be a correct term as it is not related social behaviour. ‘Pollutants’ mean a substance that pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere. If this word is used in the given first blank it does not provide the correct term being defined. ‘Factors’ refer to a circumstance, fact, or influence that contributes to a result. ‘Standards’ refer to a required or agreed level of quality or attainment. ‘Limits’ means a restriction on the size or amount of something permissible or possible. Of all the given options ‘factors’ and ‘standards’ can be seen as the most appropriate words for the given blanks. But an emission factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant. Thus, option D is the best fit answer for the given blanks

Q:

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


It was for long the insurmountable peak for ODI batting, but one man might now have a template to score ODI double-centuries again and again. In Bengaluru, against Australia in 2013, Rohit Sharma reached 20 off 35th ball, 50 off the 71st, and the hundred in the 38th over of the innings. In Kolkata, against Sri Lanka in 2014, he was nearly caught for 4 off the 17th ball he faced, reached his 20th run off the 35th ball, but accelerated slightly earlier to bring up his century in the 32nd over of the innings. On a cold mid-week afternoon in Mohali this season, he was even slower to start, reaching 20 off 37 balls, 50 off 65 balls, and bringing up the hundred only in the 40th over. All three were ODI doubles. One time can be a charm, but to accelerate so crazily three times after having set up the innings and to make it look predictable is a perfect combination of skill, fitness and the right mental approach to ODI batting. You can be all amazed at how he manages to do it, but Rohit's reaction to it is typically relaxed. "That's my template, no?" he tends to ask. He remembers the innings clearly: reaching "50 off 70 balls", bringing up the hundred "near the 40th over", and then knowing that the bowlers can't get him out unless he makes a mistake. "That is my style of play," Rohit said. "You are set and seeing the ball nice and hard and you have understood what the bowlers are trying to do by then, and it's all about trying to play with the field once you get past 100. It's all about you not making a mistake and getting out. I am not saying it's impossible or difficult, but it's very unlikely the bowlers are going to get you out once you have scored a hundred. "So it was all about me not making a mistake and batting as long as possible. That's what I did. There is no secret or formula to it. You just have to bat and not make any mistake. The ground is good, the pitch is nice and hard, so you can trust the bounce and play the shots."


What is Rohit Sharma’s say on hitting hundred near the 40th over in Mohali test?

A) To not commit mistake to give chance to bowler to bowl him out B) To be very aggressive on field after 25th over
C) To stay calm and face every ball as it comes D) To give your best as if it is the last match to play
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) To not commit mistake to give chance to bowler to bowl him out
