101 discrimination. Information on the price elasticity of demand can be used by business as part of a policy of price discrimination (also known as yield management). Economic planning is an essential feature of socialism. The most prominent example of a planned economy was the economic system of the Soviet Union. The New Agricultural Strategy is based on concentration of high-yielding varieties of seeds and complementary inputs on selected water-as-sured areas. The National Policy for Empowerment of Women 2001 has as its goal bringing about advancement, development and empowerment of women in all spheres of life through creation of a more responsive judicial and legal system sensitive to women and mainstreaming a gender perspective in the development process. First used in the Australian state of Victoria in 1857, the paper ballot listing all the candidates was first known as "the Australian ballot. "In 1889, New York became the first American state to use these ballots.

78. (a) Carrot is rich in Vitamin A and it improves eyesight. 79. (d) The reason for this is the hydrogen bonding between neighboring water molecules. Because hydrogen bonding is a relatively strong intermolecular force, high heat energy is required to break up the force. 80. (a) Valence electrons are important in determining how an elements reacts chemically with other elements. Since the valence electrons are the electrons in the highest energy level, they are the most exposed of all the electrons, so they are the electrons that get most involved in chemical reactions. 81. (b) CDRI, is located at Lucknow was inugurated in 1951 by the then Prime Minister of India, Jawahar lal Nehru. 82. (b) Wheat was the first cereal to be cultivated by man. In several places in the Middle East it was sowed, tended and reaped soon after 8000 BC. The people of Jericho are the first known to have lived mainly from the cultivation of crops. 83. (b) Durum wheat is the only tetraploid form of wheat widely used today, and the second most widely cultivated wheat. This hard wheat is cultivated in clayey soil and is highly sought after for its physical characteristics. 84. (d) A dissipative force counteracts motion. Its direction is opposite to the direction of the velocity vector. Dynamic friction is a dissipative (non-conservative) force : it dissipates energy (mainly through heat and sound), and energy lost by moving in one direction. 85. (c) Poisson strain is defined as the negative ratio of the strain in the traverse direction (caused by the contraction of the bar's diameter) to the strain in the longitudinal direction. As the length increases and the cross sectional area decreases, the electrical resistance of the wire also rises. 86. (b) Consequent Poles are magnetic poles that exist where the specimen has been successively magnetized in different sections to create more than two poles ; e.g., two north poles with one south pole between them.

Tukaram introduced Shivaji to Ramdas for his spritual educataion. Limnology is the story of lakes and other freshwater basins. Homoseismal lines is the line on the Earth's surface connecting points where the seismic wave arrives, generated by an earthquake, at the same time. The lumen is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source. In computing, an interface is a shared boundary across which two separate components of a computer system exchange information. The exchange can be between software, computer hardware,peripheral devices, humans and combinations of these. Interface Card, Ethernet Cable and Routers are used in setting up a LAN. The router can be plugged directly into the modem via an Ethernet cable, and all other computers are eventually connected in some fashion to the route. In terms of LAN, a computer cannot be said to be an item which constitutes this network. A single mole is set to the number of particles found in 12.000 grams of carbon-12. A mole of water has 6.022 x 1023 water molecules. One mole of water weighs 18.0152 grams.

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. PASSAGE-I “People very often complain that poverty is a great evil and that it is not possible to be happy unless one has a lot of money. Actually, this is not necessarily true. Even a poor man, living in a small hut with none of the comforts and luxuries of life, may be quite contented with his lot and achieve a measure of happiness. On the other hand, a very rich man, living in a palace and enjoying everything that money can buy, may still be miserable, if, for example, he does not enjoy good health or his only son has taken to evil ways. Apart from this, he may have a lot of business worries which keep him on tenterhooks most of the time. There is a limit to what money can buy and there are many things which are necessary for a man’s happiness and which money cannot procure. Real happiness is a matter of the right attitude and the capacity of being contented with whatever you have is the most important ingredient of this attitude”. 191. The phrase “on tenterhooks” means: (a) in a state of thoughfulness (b) in a state of anxiety (c) in a state of sadness (d) in a state of forgetfulness 192. It is true that: (a) money alone can give happiness (b) money always gives happiness (c) money seldom gives happiness (d) money alone cannot give happiness 193.

121 When inextricably mixed with domestic and other wastes discharged into the same water, these chemicals sometimes defy detection by the methods in ordinary use by purification plants. Most of them are so complex that they cannot be identified. In rivers, a really incredible variety of pollutants combine to produce deposits that sanitary engineers can only despairingly refer to as “gunk”. 196. All the following words mean ‘chemicals’ except: (a) sands (b) substances (c) pesticides (d) deposits 197. The main argument of paragraph 1 is: (a) that there are sinister interaction in the use of chemicals (b) that there are numerous reasons for contamination of water supplies (c) that there are many dangers from nuclear fallout (d) that pesticides are dangerous 198. The word ‘gunk’ in the last line refers: (a) to the waste products deposited by sanitary engineers (b) to the debris found in rivers (c) to unidentifiable chemicals found in water (d) to the domestic water supplies 199. Water pollution can only be understood: (a) in relation to world contamination (b) by the whole human race (c) in context (d) in relation to the number of pesticides that exist 200. Water contamination has become serious: (a) since water pollution was difficult to assess (b) since nature has taken a hand in pollution (c) since chemists began to use new substances (d) since businessmen authorised the use of chemicals.

194. Which of the following is the most appropriate title to the passage? (a) Poverty, a great evil (b) The key of happiness (c) Contentment, the key of happiness (d) Money and contentment 195. Which of the following statement is true? (a) Only a poor but contented man can be happy (b) A poor but contented man can never by happy (c) A poor but contented man can be happy (d) A poor but contented man is always happy PASSAGE- II The problem of water pollution by pesticides can be understood only in context, as part of the whole to which it belongs - the pollution of the total environment of mankind. The pollution entering our waterways comes from many sources, radioactive wastes from reactors, laboratories and hospitals; fallout from nuclear explosions; domestic wastes from cities and towns; chemical wastes from factories. To these is a added a new kid of fallout - the chemical sprays applied to crop lands and gardens, forests and fields. Many of the chemical agents in this alarming melange initiate and augment the harmful effects of radiation, and within the groups of chemicals themselves there are sinister and little understood interactions, transformations and summations of effect. Ever since the chemists began to manufacture substances that nature never invented, the problem of water purification have become complex and the danger to users of water has increased. As we have seen, the production of these synthetic chemicals in large volume began in the 1940’s. It has now reached such proportion that an appalling deluge of chemical pollution is daily poured into the nation’s waterways.

of the old man sitting amidst ruins pondering over his hubble-bubble? We do not. It does not matter. He is there like the North Pole, the Everest and the Alps but with one difference. The North Pole, the Everest and the Alps will be there when he is not there any more. Can we really say this? “Dust thou act to dust returneth” was not spoken of the soul. We do not know whether the old man’s soul will go marching on like John Brown’s. While his body lies mouldering in the grave or becomes ash driven by the wind or is immersed in water, such speculation is hazardous. A soul’s trip can take one to the treacherous shoals of metaphysics where there is no “yes” or “no”. “Who am I?” asked Tagore of the rising sun in the first dawn of his life, he received no answer. “Who am I?” he asked the setting sun in the last twilight of his life. He received no answer. We are no more on solid ground with dust which we can feel in our hands, scatter to the wind and wet with water to turn it into mud. For this much is sure, that in the end, when life’s ceaseless labour grinds to a halt and man meets death, the brother of sleep, his body buried or burnt, becomes dust. In the form of dust he lives, inanimate yet in contact with the animate. He settles on files in endless government almirahs, on manuscripts written and not published on all shelves, on faces and hands. He becomes ubiquitous all pervasive, sometimes sneaking even into hermetically sealed chambers. 191. What is the difference between the old man and the North Pole, the Everest and the Alps? (a) he ponders over his hubble-bubble while they don’t (b) they are known to all while he is known to none (c) they remain while he will soon become dust (d) they are not as old as he 192. What, according to the passage, happens to a person’s soul after death? (a) the soul also dies with the body (b) the soul continues to live after the body is dead (c) the soul certainly becomes dust after death (d) it is dangerous to guess 193. Which of the following statement is true?

If you cannot do this yet you should train yourself to do it by taking particular problems and following them through, point by point, to a solution, without leaving anything out and without avoiding any difficulties that you meet. At first you find clear, step-by- step thought very difficult. You may find that your mind is not able to concentrate. Several unconnected ideas may occur together. But practice will improve your ability to concentrate on a single idea and think about it clearly and logically. In order to increase your vocabulary and to improve your style, you should read widely and use a good dictionary to help you find the exact meanings and correct usages of words. Always remember that regular and frequent practice is necessary if you want to learn to write

Directions (Qs. 191 - 200) : In the following questions you have two brief passages with 5 question in each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. PASSAGE - I Stuck with the development dilemma? Stay away from management courses. Seriously, one of the biggest complaints that organisations have about management courses is that they fail to impact the participants’ onthe-job behaviour. Some management trainers stress the need for follow-up and reinforcement on the job. Some go so far as briefing the participants’ managers on what behaviour they should be reinforcing back on the job. Other include a follow-up training day to review the progress of the participants. None of this is really going far enough. The real problem is that course promoters view development as something which primarily, takes place in a classroom. A course is an event and events are, by definition limited in time. When you talk about followup after a course, it is seen as a nice idea, but not as an essential part of the participants’ development programme. Any rational, empowered individual should be able to take what has been learnt in a course and transfer it to the work place - or so the argument goes. Another negative aspect of the course mindset is that, primarily, development is thought to be about skillacquisition.

167 looking at life and society, words too begin to mean differently. Revolution, for instance, is a term frequently used, but not always in the sense it has been in the lexicon of the militant. So also with words like peace and struggle. Even society may mean differently, being some kind of organic entity for the militant, and more or less a sum of individuals for the Gandhian. There is yet another way, which might, for want of a better description, be called the mystic. The mystic’s perspective measures these concerns that transcend political ambition and the dynamism of the reformer, whether he be militant or Gandhian. The mystic measures the terror of not knowing the remorseless march of time; he seeks to know what was before birth, what comes after death? The continuous presence of death, of the consciousness of death, sets his priorities and values: militants and Gandhians, kings and prophets, must leave all that they have built; all that they have unbuilt and depart when messengers of the buffalo-riding Yama come out of the shadows. Water will to water, dust to dust. Think of impermanence. Everything passes. 196. The Gandhian reaction of poverty is (a) a total war on poverty (b) self-discipline (c) self-abnegation (d) a regulated distribution of wealth 197. According to Gandianism, the individual who wants to change society (a) should destroy the existing society (b) must re-form society (c) must change himself (d) may change society without changing himself 198. Who, according to the passage, finds new meaning for words like revolutions, peace and struggle? (a) A Gandhian who believes in non-violent revolution (b) A militant (c) A mystic (d) A Gandhian who disciplines himself from within 199. The expression ‘water will to water, dust to dust’ means (a) water and dust can mix well (b) man will become water after death (c) man will one day die and become dust (d) man will become dust and water after death 200. What does society mean to a Gandhian? (a) a sum of individuals (b) an organic entity (c) a regime of living regulated by discipline from within (d) a disciplined social community

So, it is felt that the distinction between taking the course and behaving differently in the work place parallels the distinction between skill-acquisition and skill-application. But can such a sharp distinction be maintained? Skills are really acquired only in the context of applying them on the job, finding them effective and, therefore, reinforcing them. The problem with courses is that they are events, while development is an on-going process which, involves, within a complex environment, continual interaction, regular feedback and adjustment. As we tend to equate development with a one-off event, it is difficult to get seriously motivated about the followup. Anyone paying for a course tends to look at followup as an unnecessary and rather costly frill. 191. What is the passage about? (a) personal management (b) development dilemma (c) management courses (d) course promotors’ attitude 192. Which of the following statements is false? (a) Some management trainers stress the need for follow-up and reinforcement on the job (b) Some suggest a follow-up training day to review the progress of the participants (c) Some go to the extent of briefing the participants’ managers on what behaviour they should be reinforcing back on the job (d) The real problem is that course promoters view development as something which does not take place during a course. 193. The writer’s attitude, as reflected in the passage, is (a) critical (b) ironic (c) sympathetic (d) philosophical 194. The course promoters’ attitude is (a) self-righteous (b) indifferent (c) easy-going (d) unprogressive 195. The word ‘mindset’ here means (a) a determined mind (b) a (fixed) attitude of mind (c) an open mind (d) mindful PASSAGE -II One may look at life, events, society, history, in another way. A way which might, at a stretch, be described as the Gandhian way, though it may be from times before Mahatma Gandhi came on the scene. The Gandhian reaction to all grim poverty, squalor and degradation of the human being would approximate to effort at selfchange and self-improvement, to a regime of living regulated by discipline from within. To change society, the individual must first change himself. In this way of

(b) Simon Commission (1927) > Dandi March (1930) > Gandhi Irwin Pact (1931) > Poona Pact (1932) (c) Two pollutants emitted by motor vehicles react to form ground-level ozone or smog which can cause respiratory problems and reduce visibility. (c) Cardiac muscle is an involuntary striated muscle tissue found only in the organ heart. Involuntary muscles are smooth muscles that are not directly controllable at will. For example You don't have to remind yourself to make your heart beat, so it is involuntary. Voluntary muscles are controllable like those found in your arms, legs, hands, etc. (c) Ringworm is common disease, especially among children. It is caused by a fungus, not a worm like the name suggests. It is a common and highly infectious skin infection that causes a ring-like red rash on the skin.

PASSAGE - II Who don't I have a telephone? No because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don't really like the telephne, and because I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe, and sleep without it. Why don't I like the telephone? because I think it is a pest and time waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call, that doesn't come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone booth, it seems to me really horrible. you would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry, you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the booth, you are half suffocated by the stale, unventilated air, flavored with cheap face powder and chain smoking; and by the time you have began your conversation your back is chilled by the cold looks of somebody who is moving about restlessly to make your place. If you have a telephone in your house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself." Ah well, it will be all the same in hundred years time". You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dropping from the bath, of chewing from the table, or dazed from bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? You were told the truth. In my opinion all telephone numbers are wrong numebrs. If, of course, your telephone rings and you decide not to answer it, then you will have to listen to an idiotic bell ringing and ringing in what is supposed to be the privacy of your own home. You might as well buy a bicycle bell and ring it yourself.

Directions: In question nos. 153 to 162, you have two brief passages with 5 questions in each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark it by blackening the appropriate oval [ ] in the Answer Sheet. PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 153 to 157) Pidgins are languages that are not, acquired as mother tongues and that are used for a restricted set of communicative functions. They are formed from a mixture of languages and have a limited vocabulary and a simplified grammar. Pidgins serve as a means of communication between speakers of mutually unintelligible languages and may become essential, in multilingual areas. A creole develops from a pidgin when the pidgin becomes the mother tongue of the community. To cope with the consequent expansion of communicative functions the vocabulary is increased and the grammar becomes more complex. Where a creole and the standard variety of English coexist, as in the Carribbean, there is a continuum from the most extreme form of creole to the form that is closest to the standard language. Linguists mark off the relative positions on the creole continuum as the ‘basilect’ (the furthest from the standard language), the ‘mesolect’ and the ‘acrolet’. In such situations, most creole speakers can vary their speech along the continuum and many are also competent in the standard English of their country. 153. A pidgin develops in a situation when (a) Different and mutually unintelligible languages exist side by side (b) A creole becomes the mother tongue of a linguistic community (c) A language with restricted vocabulary undergoes an expansion in grammar and vocabulary (d) Two similar languages are mixed to create a new language.

There were four of us - George and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking and talking about “how bad were - bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course. We were all feeling seedy and we were getting quite nervous about it. Harris said he felt such extraordinary fits of giddiness come over him at times, that he hardly knew what he was doing and then George said that he had fits of giddiness too, and hardly knew what he was doing. With me, it was my liver that was out of order. I knew it was my liver that was out of order, because I had just been reading a patent liver-pill circular, in which were detailed the various symptoms by which a man could tell when his liver was out of order.

275 Other examples are 'slowly' in 'He ran slowly', 'very' in 'It's very hot', or 'naturally' in 'Naturally, we want you to come.' Superior always takes preposition 'to'. Ex: Your computer is far superior to mine. Ambiguous means having more than one possible meaning. If someone or something is infallible, that means they are incapable of failure or error. Conscientious is the one who is guided by or in accordance with conscience or sense of duty and right and wrong. Obsolete means no longer in use regicide means the act of killing a king. 0Aviary is a building where birds are kept. 177. (c) 178. (a) 179. (c) Baltimore Oriole is of 7 inches in length. 182. (c) 183. (d) 184. (a) 186. (d) 187. (a) Here Mohan's eyes reflect means that it was Mohan's habit which is not the case. Hence, it should be as Mohan's eyes reflected ..... With a view to (doing) something because you are planning to do something in the future. Ex: We bought the house with a view to retiring there. 'has come' is the correct option because the verb will agree with the first subject. adjacent always takes the preposition 'to'. Grapes cannot be the subject of the sentence; hence it should be 'Grapes cannot be gathered......' Since is usually followed by a time expression ('last year', 'this morning', '4 o'clock' etc) or by a clause in the simple past tense. Use the present perfect or the past perfect in the other clause. Use for when you state the length of time that something has been or had been happening. Ex: We have known each other for ten years (NOT since ten years). 195. (a) 196. (a) 197. (d) Condone and forgive are similar in meaning. Analogy denotes comparison. Allure and entice both denote provoking someone to do something through (often false or exaggerated) promises or persuasion.

re p

153. (a)

Gregarious denotes tending to form a group with others of the same species and unsociable is the opposite. Pragmatic means concerned with practical matters while indefinite denotes vague or not clearly defined or stated. If somebody is above board, he/she is honest in any business deal. To cry wolf means that someone is giving false alarm. If somebody is on the right/ wrong side of 30/ 40 etc that means he/she is younger/ older than 30/ 40 etc. If you have an axe to grind; that means you have a private end to serve. If you drive something home, that means you are making something completely clear to someone. She didn't have to drive the point home. The movie had done that. Here we compare the climate of Karnataka with the climate of Tamil Nadu and not with the Tamil Nadu itself; hence we use 'than that of'. If someone suffers from an unpleasant or difficult experience or situation, then we use 'suffer from.' Ex: Shiela is suffering from ill health. Lately factories are suffering from a desperate shortage of labours. The correct arrangement of sentence is - I gave Sana the keys. When you are using if to talk about something that is unlikely to happen or is impossible, use the past tense in the ifclause, not present. Ex: If someone gave me (NOT gives or would give me) the money, I'd buy a car tomorrow. 'He compensated me for the loss.' is the correct answer. The proposition 'to' is complementary with accountable. Recently denotes not long ago and thus usually takes perfect tense. Present tense shows what exits or happening now. It also denotes a habit which in this case is the timing of having lunch. Here 'agriculturally' is the adverb that adds to the meaning of the adjective 'strong'.

So, having failed to prevent nervous citizens from fleeing their cities of work by assuring them of proper protection, some national leaders are now busy trying to prove to one another, and to panic-prone Indians, that a mischievous neighbour has been using the interaet and social networking sites to spread dangerous rumours. And the Centre's automatic reaction is to start blocking these sites and begin elaborate and potentially endless negotiations with Google, Twitter and Facebook about access to information. If this is the official idea of prompt action at a time of crisis among communities, then Indians have more reason to fear their protectors than the nebulousmischief-makersofthe cyber world.Wasting time gathering proof, blocking vaguely suspiciopus websites, hurling accusations across the border and worrying about bilateral relations are ways of keeping busy with inessentials becuase one does not quite known what to do about the essentials of a difficult situation. Besides, only a fifth of the 245 websites blocked by the Centre mention the people of the Northeast or the violence in Assam. And if a few morphed images and spurious texts can unsettle an entire nation, then there is something deeply wrong with the nation and with how it isbeing governed. This is what its leaders should be addressig immediately, rather than making a wrongheaded display of their powers of censorship. It is just as absurd, and part of the same syndrome, to try to ban Twitter accounts that parody despatches from the Prime Minister's Office. To describe such forms of humour and dissent as "misrepresenting" the PMO–as if Twitter would take these parodies for genuine despatches from the PMO — makes the PMO lookmoreridiculousthan its parodistsmanageto.With the precedent for such action set recently by the chief minister of West Bengal, this is yet another proof that what Bengal thinks today India will think tomorrow. Using the cyber–world for flexing the wrong muscles is essentiallynot funny. It might even prove to be quite dangerously distracting. 191.

PASSAGE - I (Q. NOS. 191-195) As I stepped out of the train I felt unusually solitary since I was the only passenger to alight. I was accustomed to arriving in the summer, when holidaymakers throng coastal resorts and this was my first visit when the season was over. My destination was a little village which was eight miles by road. It took only a few minutes for me to come to the foot of the cliff path. When I reached the top I had left all signs of habitation behind me. I was surprised to notice that the sky was already a flame with the sunset. It seemed to be getting dark amazingly quickly. I was at a loss to account for the exceptionally early end of daylight since I did not think I had walked unduly slowly. Then I recollected that on previous visits I had walked in high summer and how it was October. All at once it was night. The track was grassy and even in daylight sghowed up hardly at all. I was terrified of hurtling over the edge of the cliff to the rocks below. I felt my feet squelching and sticking in something soggy. Then I bumped into a little clump of trees that loomed up in front of me. I climbed up the nearest trunk and managed to find a tolerabley comfortable fork to sit on. The waiting was spent by my attempts to identify the little stirrings and noises of animal life that I could hear. I grew colder and colder and managed to sleep only in uneasy fitful starts. At last when the moon came up I was on my way again. 191. The writer felt unusually solitary because (a) he was feeling very lonely without his family. (b) he was missing the company of other holiday-makers. (c) his destination was a little village eight miles away. (d) there was no one to meet him. 192. "I left all signs of habitation behind me."

NOS. 196-200) It is sad that in country after country, progress should become synonymous with an assault on nature. We who are a part of nature and dependent on her for every need, speak constantly about 'exploiting' nature. When the highest mountain in the world was climbed in 1953, Jawaharlal Nehru objected to the phrase conquest of Everest' which he thought was arrogant. Is it surprising that this lack of consideration and the constant need to prove one's superiority should be projected on to our treatment of our fellowmen? I remember Edward Thompson, a British writer and a good friend of India, once telling Mr. Gandhi that wildlife was fast disappearing. Remarked Mr. Gandhi: ‘It is decreasing in the jungles but it is increasing in the towns’ On the one hand the rich look askance at our continuing poverty; on the other they warn us against their own methods. We do not wish to impoverish the environment any further and yet we cannot forget the grim poverty of large numbers of people. Are not poverty and need the great polluters? For instance, unless we are in a position to provide employment and purchasing power for the daily necessities of the tribal people and those who live in and around our

(a) In economics, diminishing returns (also called law of diminishing returns, law of variable proportions, principle of diminishing marginal productivity, or diminishing marginal returns is the decrease in the marginal (incremental) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production stay constant. (b) The law of increasing returns is the opposite of the law of decreasing returns. Where the law of diminishing returns operates, every additional investment of capital and labour yields less than proportionate returns. But, in the case of the law of increasing returns, the return is more than proportionate. (b) Cabinet collective responsibility is constitutional convention in governments is that members of the Cabinet must publicly support all governmental decisions made in Cabinet, even if they do not privately agree with them. This support includes voting for the government in the legislature. Cabinet collective responsibility is related to the fact that, if a vote of no confidence is passed in parliament, the government is responsible collectively, and thus the entire government resigns.

They include the Cactaceae family, which has round stems and can store a lot of water. The leaves are often vestigial, as in the case of cacti, wherein the leaves are reduced to spines, or they do not have leaves at all. Water is stored in the bulbs of some plants, at or below ground level. They may be dormant during drought conditions and are, therefore, known as drought evaders.

(c) The plant epidermis consists of three main cell types: pavement cells, guard cells and their subsidiary cells that surround the stomata. (a) As sugar concentration increases in the guard cells, as a result water enters the guard cells. The guard cells become turgid (swollen with water). The thin outer walls bulge out and force the inner wall into a crescent shape. In this way a stoma or pore is formed between each pair of guard cell. (a) Revegetation is often used to join up patches of natural habitat that have been lost, and can be a very important tool in places where much of the natural vegetation has been cleared. It is therefore particularly important in urban environments, and research in Brisbane has shown that revegetation projects can significantly improve urban bird populations. The Brisbane study showed that connecting a revegetation patch with existing habitat improved bird species richness, while simply concentrating on making large patches of habitat was the best way to increase bird abundance.

323 170. (a) The meaning of the idiom 'put my foot down' is 'to take a firm stand'. So, as the meaning of the sentence implies that where discipline matters, one should take a firm stand. 171. (d) The idiom 'stood his ground' means 'refuse to yield'. So, as the meaning of the sentence implies, the convict claimed his innocence and refused to yield for the blames that were laid upon him. 172. (a) The sentence requires an improvement. The underlined portion must be rectified to 'you despair of the success of your undertaking'. 173. (d) The statement requires no improvement.

The correct form of sentence is 'It is I am who should be responsible for the delay'. 154. (b) Part 'B' of the sentence is wrong. The preposition 'of' is missing in that part. 'Of' is applicable after the word 'evils'. 155. (b) Part 'B' of the sentence is wrong. It will be arranged as 'over extensively'. In the part 'B' 'extensively over' is denoting wrong application of words which is acting as a breach to the meaning of the sentence. 156. (a) The correct word that will fit the blank is 'impudence'. 'Impudence' means 'not to show the proper respect'. Hence, the word suits the meaning of the sentence. 157. (b) The correct word that will fit the blank is 'feeble'. 'Feeble' means 'weak'. Hence, the word suits the meaning of the sentence. 158. (a) The correct word that will fit the blank is 'retrieve'. 'Retrieve' means to 'get or bring back'. Hence, the word aptly suits the meaning of the sentence. 159. (c) The correct word that will fit the blank is 'over'. As it is given in the sentence, 'makeover' means to 'renew or renovate something'. Hence the preposition 'over' will suit the meaning of the sentence. 160. (c) The correct word that will fit the blank is 'augurs'. 'Augurs' means 'something that will proceed well'. Hence, the word suits the meaning of the sentence. 161.

(b) The opposite of 'pompous' is 'humble'. 166. (c) The opposite of 'serene' is 'ruffled'. 167. (d) In the sentence, 'to carve out a niche' means 'to develop a specific position for him'. The word 'niche' means 'a specialized area or sector'. 168. (c) The alternative meaning of the phrase 'to the letter' is 'in every detail'. 169. (c) The meaning of the idiom 'to read between the lines' is 'to understand the inner meaning'. So, the critic's work is to understand the inner meanings.
