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

Awareness means the capacity to see a coffee pot and hear the birds sing in one's own way, and not the way one was taught. It may be assumed on good grounds that seeing and hearing have a different quality for infants than for grownups and that they are more aesthetic and less intellectual in the first years of life. A little boy sees and hears birds with delight. Then the 'good father' comes along and feels he should 'share' the experience and help his son 'develop'. He says, "That's a jay and this is a sparrow." The moment the little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing. He has to see and hear them the way his father wants him to. Father has good reasons on his side: since few people can afford to go through life listening to the birds sing, sooner the little boy starts his 'education' the better. Maybe he will be an ornithologist when he grows up.


What does an Ornithologist study?

A) Birds B) Insects
C) The different species of plants D) Fish
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Birds

Q:

A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.
You will have to undergo a _______ of tests before the interview.

A) Large B) Series
C) Design D) Booklet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Series

Explanation:

The trick here is to follow the structure of the statement. The blank is followed by 'of' and thus the blank will take a filler that can be followed grammatically by 'of' and also manages to give a proper meaning. On the basis of these filters, none of the options except option 2 makes any sense.
