20. Each of the following questions contains a small paragraph followed by a question on it. Read each
paragraph carefully and answer the question given below it.

Industrial exhibitions play a major role in a country's economy. Such exhibitions, now regularly held in Delhi, enable us
to measure the extent of our own less advanced industrial progress and the mighty industrial power and progress of
countries like the U.K., U.S.A. and Russia whose pavilions are the centres of the greatest attention and attractions.

The passage best supports the statement that industrial exhibitions -

1) greatly tax the poor economies.

2) are more useful for the developed countries like U.S.A. whose products stand out superior to those of the
developing countries.
3) are not of much use to the countries who are industrially backward.
4) boost up production qualitatively and quantitatively by analytical comparison of a country's products with those
of the developed countries.
21. Today's high school students spend too much time thinking about trivial and distracting matters such as fashion.
Additionally, they often dress inappropriately on school grounds. Rather than spending time writing another detailed
dress policy, we should make school uniforms mandatory. If students were required to wear uniforms, it would increase
a sense of community and harmony in our schools and it would instill a sense of discipline in our students. Another
positive effect would be that teachers and administrators would no longer have to act as clothing police, freeing them up
to focus on more important issues.
This paragraph best supports the statement that

1) inappropriate clothing leads to failing grades.

2) students who wear school uniforms get into better colleges.
3) teachers and administrators spend at least 25% of their time enforcing the dress code.
4) students are not interested in being part of a community
5) school uniforms should be compulsory for high school students.

22. Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

Quinn: Our state is considering raising the age at which a person can get a driver's license to eighteen. This is unfair
because the age has been sixteen for many years and sixteen-year-olds today are no less responsible than their
parents and grandparents were at sixteen. Many young people today who are fourteen and fifteen years old are
preparing to receive their licenses by driving with a learner's permit and a licensed driver, usually one of their parents. It
would not be fair to suddenly say they have to wait two more years.
Dakota: It is true that people have been allowed to receive a drivers license at sixteen for generations. However, in
recent years, the increase in traffic means drivers face more dangers than ever and must be ready to respond to a
variety of situations. The fact that schools can no longer afford to teach drivers education results in too many young
drivers who are not prepared to face the traffic conditions of today.

1.What is the point at issue between Quinn and Dakota?

1) whether sixteen-year-olds should be required to take drivers education before being issued a license
2) whether schools ought to provide drivers education to fourteen- and fifteen-year-old students
3) whether the standards for issuing drivers licenses should become more stringent
4) whether sixteen-year-olds are prepared to drive in today's traffic conditions
5) whether parents are able to do a good job teaching their children to drive

1) statistics
