Q3. Now it's Marco's turn for a symbolic act of male dominance. At the end of Act I he challenges Eddie to lift a chair by one of its legs
with only one of his arms. Eddie can't do it. Marco easily hoists it over his head. Eddie basically gets a symbolic beat down. He's
emasculated. We haven't seen this kind of behavior from Marco before now. What could've inspired it? Our best guess is that it's
Marco's way of responding to the growing tension in the Eddie/Catherine/Rodolpho love triangle.
Eddie has just punked Marco's little brother, by beating him in a supposedly friendly boxing match. The bout ends with Eddie
punching Rodolpho a lot harder than the "friendly" bout would seem to require. Eddie's gesture isn't lost on Catherine who
immediately invites Rodolpho to dance to "Paper Doll." Talk about tension.
Marco seems to understand the increasingly intense social situation pretty well. He senses Eddie is about to explode and
thus we have the emasculating chair lifting contest. In the stage directions tell us that Marco raises the chair "like a weapon over
Eddie's head". Is the lifting of the chair Marco's symbolic warning to Eddie? Is it a promise of violence, which Marco later ful lls?
Marco challenges Eddie to lift the chair because ________.
/
(a) He knows Eddie cannot do it

Q8. To outsiders, the magnitude of Indians' love for cricket is as incomprehensible as its feverish intensity. In February 2014, India
awarded the Bharat Ratna, its highest civilian honour, to Sachin Tendulkar, a recently retired batsman. Millions in India, a country of
1.3 billion people and only one nationally popular game, celebrated wildly. When India's national side plays a big game, an
estimated 400 million watch on television.
Contrary to what many believe, India’s success at cricket does not explain it; if it did, hockey would be far more popular.
Between 1928 and 1956, India's hockey team won six consecutive Olympic gold medals, a domination Indian cricketers have never
threatened to rival.
Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the above passage?
(b) Cricket being India’s national sport is loved by most of the countrymen.
(c) Hockey ought to be India’s national sport since India’s success at hockey
is far greater.
(d) When an India plays an international game, around 400 million follow the
game.

signals to the brain the amount of fat stored in the body. When injected into the rodents, the hormone reduced the appetite and
increased the body’s utilization of calories. With ndings like these, the medical experts are now turning to a selection of drugs
which appear to be safe and effective in reducing weight and maintaining lower weight levels.

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
The unique Iron Age Experimental Centre at Lejre, about 40 km west of Copenhagen, serves as a museum, a classroom and a place to get
away from it all. How did people live during the Iron Age? How did they support themselves? What did they eat and how did they cultivate
the land? These and a myriad of other questions prodded the pioneers of the Lejre experiment.
Living in the open and working 10 hours a day, volunteers from all over Scandinavia led by 30 experts, built the rst village in the ancient
encampment in a matter of months. The house walls were of clay, the roofs of hay - all based on original designs. Then came the second
stage - getting back to the basics of living. Families were invited to stay in the 'prehistoric village' for a week or two at a time and rough it
Iron Age-style.
Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for modern Danes accustomed to central heating, but it convinced the centre that there was
something to the Lejre project. Little by little, the modern Iron Agers learnt that their huts were, after all, habitable. The problems were
numerous - smoke belching out from the rough-and-ready replaces into the rooms and so on. These problems, however, have led to some
/
discoveries: domed smoke ovens made of clay, for example, give out more heat and consume less fuel than an open re, and when
correctly stoked, they are practically smokeless.
By contacting other museums, the Lejre team has been able to reconstruct ancient weaving looms and pottery kilns. Iron Age dyeing
techniques, using local natural vegetation, have also been revived, as have ancient baking and cooking methods.
Q35. What is the main purpose of building the Iron Age experimental center?

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Virtually everything astronomers known about objects outside the solar system are based on the detection of photons-quanta of
electromagnetic radiation. Yet there is another form of radiation that permeates the universe: neutrinos. With (as its name implies) no
electric charge, and negligible mass, the neutrino interacts with other particles so rarely that a neutrino can cross the entire universe, even
traversing substantial aggregations of matter, without being absorbed or even de ected. Neutrinos can thus escape from regions of space
where light and other kinds of electromagnetic radiation are blocked by matter. Furthermore, neutrinos carry with them information about
the site and circumstances of their production: therefore, the detection of cosmic neutrinos could provide new information about a wide
variety of cosmic phenomena and about the history of the universe.
But how can scientists detect a particle that interacts so infrequently with other matter? Twenty- ve years passed between Pauli’s
hypothesis that the neutrino existed and its actual detection: since then virtually all research with neutrinos has been with neutrinos created
arti cially in large particle accelerators and studied under neutrino microscopes. But a neutrino telescope, capable of detecting cosmic
neutrinos, is dif cult to construct. No apparatus can detect neutrinos unless it is extremely massive, because great mass is synonymous
with huge numbers of nucleons (neutrons and protons) , and the more massive the detector, the greater the probability of one of its
nucleon’s reacting with a neutrino. In addition, the apparatus must be suf ciently shielded from the interfering effects of other particles.
Fortunately, a group of astrophysicists has proposed a means of detecting cosmic neutrinos by harnessing the mass of the ocean. Named
DUMAND, for Deep Underwater Muno and Neutrino Detector, the project calls for placing an array of light sensors at a depth of ve
kilometers under the ocean surface. The detecting medium is the seawater itself: when a neutrino interacts with a particle in an atom of
seawater. The result is a cascade of electrically charged particles and a ash of light that can be detected by the sensors. The ve
kilometers of seawater above the sensors will shield them from the interfering effects of other high-energy particles raining down through
the atmosphere.
The strongest motivation for the DUMAND project is that it will exploit an important source of information about the universe. The
extension of astronomy from visible light to radio waves to x-rays and gamma rays never failed to lead to the discovery of unusual objects
such as radio galaxies, quasars, and pulsars. Each of these discoveries came as a surprise. Neutrino astronomy will doubtless bring its own
share of surprises.
