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.

In each of the questions given below, a passage has been given which are either situational based or describes a scenario. Below each passage, a question has been given which is framed to make you to infer something out of it. Mark out the correct inference as your answer.

Set in the glittering balls of genteel rural society of 18th century England and verdant landscape of the idyllic Pemberley, “Pride and Prejudice” is the story of young Elizabeth Bennett whose
property is entailed to the nearest male heir.
What can be said about the position of young Elizabeth Bennett in the rural society of 18th century England?

A) Marginal B) Immaterial
C) Unrelated D) Extraneous
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Immaterial

Explanation:

Marginal means to be of questionable or minimal quality.
Immaterial means to be of no importance or relevance especially to a law case.
Unrelated means lacking a logical or causal relation.
Extraneous means something that is not pertinent to the matter under consideration.
Academic means marked by a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects.
Despite being young, Bennett's property was already entailed to the male heir. This means that she did not have a significant place in the rural society of 18th century England.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
