Man's attitude to various animals changed many times in the course of centuries. From indifference or practicality, he went on to adoration and deification, and then to hatred. Ancient Egyptians, for example, highly appreciated the cat's ability to destroy rodents. The cat was much superior in this respect to the grass­snakes and weasels they had kept in their houses before. These proved unable to cope with hordes of rats which invaded Egypt from Asia. So the cat, a very useful animal, was ranked as a sacred animal and one of the most important animals, too. The goddess of the Moon, fertility and child­birth, Bast herself was portrayed by the Egyptians as a woman with a cat's head.

Sumptuous temples were built to this goddess, where cats were kept in luxury and fed the choicest of foods. They had their own priests and votaries, more numerous as a matter of fact than any other sacred animal could boast. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, the festival in the city of Bubastis, which had a temple dedicated to cats, was attended by as many as 700 thousand, who brought their offerings to the goddess in the shape of figurines of her made of gold, silver and bronze and adorned with precious stones.

 

The cat was considered to be a _____ .

A) sacred animal B) goddess
C) symbol of peace D) symbol of fertility
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) sacred animal

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) I waited B) for her return
C) with growing unease D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) with growing unease

Explanation:

The error is in third part. “unease” is wrong expression because it is in noun form. Correct usage will be “with growing “uneasiness”, which is an adjective qualifying wait. Which means as time passed while I waited, I grew more and more uneasy.

Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :Why do the English travel?
S6:For here, in cosmopolitan England, one is always exposed to the danger of meeting all sorts of peculiar aliens.
P:Besides, they are taught that travel broadens the mind.
Q:They do so mainly because their neighbor does this and they have caught the bug from him.
R:Although they have now discovered the sad truth that whatever travel may do to the mind, it certainly broadens other parts of the body.
S:But, and perhaps mainly, they travel to avoid foreigners.

The proper sequence should be 

A) R S Q P B) P R S Q
C) S Q P R D) Q P R S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Q P R S

Explanation:

The starting statement mentions why English travel. So the continuing statement would be talking about the travel. Only statement Q stated the reason of travel. So, Q being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is QPRS.
