Q:

In the following question, a sentence is given with some bold words which may contain errors. Below the sentence, a table is given with two columns in which column 'A' contains the list of bold words, and in column 'B' the suggested corrections are listed. You have to choose the best alternative among the four given options. If no correction is required against the given bold words, mark (E), i.e., "None of the above" as your answer.
The condition of the hospital and its services reflecting on the inadequacy of Bihar's healthcare system, with patients usually increasing the number of beds available being treated on the floor, insipid food and long bill of medication and services.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (2)-(6)
C) (1)-(5) D) Both (4)-(8) and (1)-(5)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (2)-(6)

Explanation:

Abilities belong to humans, not of institutions. The number of beds in a hospital are fixed. They cannot be increased beyond a certain limit. So, if the number of beds is less, the number of patients often exceed the number of beds. Insipid and tasteless are synonymous, so no change there. Both medication and medicine have bills, so, changing hem wouldn’t make a difference. Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Q:

In the question given below, three paragraphs are given, which are jumbled. Find the correct sequence of these paragraphs so that they form a meaningful passage.
A. Climate change is warming the ocean, but it’s warming land faster and that’s really bad news for air quality all over the world, says a new University of California, Riverside study. The study, published February 4 in Nature Climate Change, shows that the contrast in warming between the continents and sea, called the land-sea warming contrast, drives an increased concentration of aerosols in the atmosphere that cause air pollution. Aerosols affect the climate system, including disturbances to the water cycle, as well as human health. They also cause smog and other kinds of air pollution that can lead to health problems for people, animals, and plants.
B. To determine this, the researchers ran simulations of climate change under two scenarios. The first assumed a business-as-usual warming model, in which warming proceeds at a constant, upward rate. The second model probed a scenario in which the land warmed less than expected. In the business-as-usual scenario, enhanced land warming increased continental aridity and, subsequently, the concentration of aerosols that leads to more air pollution.
C. A robust response to an increase in greenhouse gases is that the land is going to warm faster than the ocean. This enhanced land warming is also associated with increased continental
aridity. The increase in aridity leads to decreased low cloud cover and less rain, which is the main way that aerosols are removed from the atmosphere.
