Q14.Passage :
“Leave it”
Anjali could not begin to fathom what she was hearing.
Event the contractor appeared flabbergasted. His mouth stayed in a half-open position, like a
guitar waiting for its strings to be tugged.
“Yes. Leave it” , varun said again. He was speaking to the notion that someone in the room had
asked him to clarify his words.
What were the chances that an Indian burial ground would be found on the bucolic site where
varun and Anjali had chosen to build their dream home? Why in the world would varun not want
to have the remains carted away, thought Anjali. The last thing they needed were Indian
poltergeists meandering around their home while the two of them were trying to renovate their
marriage.
Anjali, usually deferential to her husband, knew that now was the time to make her position
heard.
She tried to cajole varun from the direction he was heading, “sweetheart, we don’t want to build
on a site with human remains, it would be irreverent to the dead”.
Immediately, she saw contempt in varun’s eyes; it was a subtle reminder of how he often viewed
her as superficial and self-absorbed.
“What would be irreverent”, said varun, his voice dripping with condescension, “would be to
desecrate these native graves and move them from their final resting place. Remember the
culture.”
No, Anjali did not “remember the culture”. She could care less about the culture. However,
varun, the history professor, was obviously enthralled by the contractor’s findings. He had an
innate way of understanding other cultures and other people that amazed anajali. He did not have
that goft with her.
But something inside Anjali said this was too much. She believed wholeheartedly in ghosts and
could not imagine a life of them haunting her, rattling her cupboards, and shaking her
floorboards.
Anjali had an unnerving sensations that big problems were ahead.
Why can’t Anjali fathom what her husband says at the beginning of the passage?
1. She could not hear what he said
2. She could not believe what he said
3. She had not yet seen the remains
4. She could not think of a retort to his comment
“She tried to cajole varun from the direction he was heading” choose the best way to rewrite the
above sentence.
1. She tried to compromise with varun
2. She tried to force varun from the direction he was heading
3. She tried to gently prod varun from the direction he was heading
4. She tried to give varun veiled threats about the direction he was heading
Q15. Passage:
Since the late 1970s when the technology of sex determination first came into being, sex
selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror. Experts are calling it “sanitised barbarism”.
Demographic trends indicate the country is fast heading towards a million female foetuses
aborted each year.
Although foetal sex determination and sex selection is a criminal offence in India, the practice is
rampant. Private clinics with ultrasound machines are doing brisk business. Everywhere , people
are playing to know the sex of an unborn child. And paying more to abort the female child. The
technology has even reached remote areas through mobile clinics. Dr. Puneet Bedi, obstetrician
and specialist in foetal medicine , says these days he hardly sees a family with two daughters.
People are getting sex determination done even for the first child, he says.
If the 1991 Census showed that two districts had a child sex ratio (number of girls per thousand
boys) less that 850; by 2001 it was 51 districts. Child rights activist Dr. Sabu George says
foeticide is the most extreme form of violence against women. “today a girl is several times more
likely to be eliminated before a birth than die of various causes in the first year. Nature intended
the womb to be safe space. Today, doctors have made it the most unsafe space for the female
child”, he says. He believes that doctors must be held responsible- “they have aggressively
promoted the misuse of technology and legitimised foeticide”.
What is the solution to the problem of female foeticide as envisioned by Dr. Bedi?
1. Effective use of law
2. Mass public outrage
3. Comparison with Nithari killing
4. Contempt towards doctors
