Dyslexia is a perceptual disorder often occurring in persons of normal, or even above average intelligence. The reader is unable to perceive correctly what is on a page. Letters and numbers often appear reversed: "b" seems to be "d","quite" is "quiet" and "from" is "form". The reader tends to leave out letters or words or insert words or letters that are not there. Vowel and consonant sounds may be confused. Many dyslexics are left­handed or able to write with either hand. They often confuse left and right. Learning to speak may also be delayed beyond infancy. The condition seems to be inherited. It may persist into adulthood. However, with early recognition and specialized approaches to teaching reading, most dyslexics can learn to read.

Some researchers believe that latent dyslexia may be aggravated by the way reading is taught. The modern whole­word, or look­and­say, method seems to be more of a hindrance to learning for dyslexics than it is for ordinary pupils. The phonetic method of teaching students to learn letters and sound them out appears to achieve better reading results. The problem of words that cannot be sounded out ­ such as rough, laugh or through ­ is not solved by phonetics. These words must simply be memorized. However, for children with dyslexia the problem can be compounded by the failure of parents or teachers to recognize the condition. This can easily lead to emotional problems for dyslexic children, who cannot understand their failure to keep up with their classmates.

A) provide treatment B) recognize the condition
C) correct the child at infancy D) understand the child

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.

On the occasion of his golden jubilee, the generous king Maharaja of Bikaner Ganga Singh, participated in the ancient Hindu TulaDaan ceremony whereby he sat on a large set of scales and was measured against gold bars, whose cash equivalent was then donated to the charitable Golden Jubilee Fund.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (4)-(8)
C) (1)-(5) D) (3)-(7)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) (3)-(7)

Explanation:

When a person sits on a scale, it is his weight against which the gold bars are measured. Also, we measure something with a scale, not against it.'Occasion' is a particular event or the time at which it takes place. 'Date' is the number of a day along with the month of the year specified by a number. Since no number is present, 'occasion' is correct. Wherein and whereby have the same meaning in the sentence and since none of the options mention the combination, it can be ignored. 'Equity' is the quality of being fair and impartial, which will not suit the sentence. Hence, the correct
answer is 4.
