Q:

A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


The quest to find life outside the solar system got a big boost with the discovery of seven Earth-size extra-solar planets, or exoplanets, orbiting a dwarf star about 40 light years away. Unlike earlier discoveries of exoplanets, all seven planets could possibly have liquid water — a key to life as we know it on Earth — with three planets having the greatest chance. This is by far the largest collection of Earth-like planets in the habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a star — neither too close nor too far from a star, which raises the possibility of liquid water being present on the surface. Only Earth has liquid water in the solar system. Since the dwarf star is much cooler than the Sun, the dimming of light each time a planet passes or transits before the star could be easily recorded from Earth unlike in cases when planets transit a Sun-like bright star. Since the initial discovery of three planets was made using the Chile-based Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope, the exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1.

 

What made it easier to record the passage of the planet in front of the star?

A) The fact that the star is much smaller and cooler than our Sun B) The fact that the star is much bigger and cooler than our Sun
C) The fact that the star is much smaller and hotter than our Sun D) The fact that the star is much bigger and hotter than our Sun
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The fact that the star is much smaller and cooler than our Sun

Q:

Why did Feudalism end?

Answer

Feudalism was the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labour, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.


Feudalism was a combination of legal and military customs in medieval Europe that flourished between the 9th and 14th centuries.Feudalism was based on the division of land by the king to nobles and vassals in return for their military service under the Feudal Levy.


The land was the main source of the economy and was dependent on the peasants who worked on the land.


The reasons for the decline of Feudalism during the Medieval period of the Middle Ages included:



  • The Crusades and travel during the Middle Ages opened new trade options to England
    England started to move from land-based economy to a money-based economy.


 



  • The Black Death - this reduced the population of England by one third. Labour became a valuable commodity.


 



  • The Peasants Revolt - Peasants realized their worth and demanded changes. Charters were granted but ignored by nobles.


 



  • More trade saw the growth of more towns.


 



  • Peasants moved away from the country into towns they were eventually allowed to buy their freedom.


 



  • The land was rented and the rights of lords over labor decreased.


  • Armed men were paid a wage and Medieval warfare was financed by taxes and loans
    Nobles became weaker - the Kings took back their lands and power.


 



  • A centralized government was established.
