It is a strong invocation for us to live boldly and to fight. It implores us to not just "go gentle into that good night," but to rage against it. Even at the end of life, when "grave men" are near death, the poem instructs us to burn with life. The poem's meaning is life-affirming. 

The poet sends a strong message to all its readers asking the people to cling to the edge of the mortal world and no matter how worthless and unproductive this fight may seem against such an inevitable reality, one cannot help but command the ferocity and fierceness of the poet who has a strong will to live.

Q11. Many doctors flatly refused to believe Joseph when he announced that he had found a preventive against smallpox. They declared vaccination to be a dangerous practice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------.The Latin word for cow is ‘vacca’ and it is the root from which the word vaccination was formed. Some of the ‘vacca’ used by Joseph were not pure and some harms were done but when supplies of pure vaccine were available, the practice of vaccinating spread all over England and from England to other countries. We hardly hear of outbreaks of smallpox now.

But the dread of the disease was so much that vaccination was not so good
But the horror of smallpox was instilled in everyone’s heart and they ate cow.
But the dread of smallpox was in everybody’s heart and people flocked to Joseph to be vaccinated.
But joseph was not wealthy and a trustworthy person and was also associated in various unorthodox practices.
None of these
Solution:
Option (c) is correct here. It contextually and grammatically fits the paragraph. ‘But the dread of smallpox was in everybody’s heart and people flocked to Joseph to be vaccinated’

Q12. Young seekers after peace know that only equal trust shown to all the people of the earth and not just to a few of them, can lead to the healing of the wounds that tear them apart and so it is essential never to humiliate the members of a nation whose leaders have committed inhuman acts. Essential also is boundless concern for so many men and women who today, as exiles or immigrants, live on foreign soil. -----------------------------------------------------------.
It is good to be patriotic, but not good to demean someone else’s patriotism.
If we live to make foreigners happy, we will be happy on our soil.
The world will be a better place.
If every home was open to somebody of foreign origin, the racial problem would be partially solved.
None of these
Solution:
Option (d) is contextually and grammatically correctly here. ‘If every home was open to somebody of foreign origin, the racial problem would be partially solved.’

Q13. The world is very full of people-appallingly-full, it has never been so full before, and they are all tumbling over each other. --------------------------------------------------------------------------. Well, what is one to do? There are two solutions. One of them is the Nazi solution. If you don’t like people, kill them, banish them, and segregate them. The other way is much less thrilling, but it is on the whole the way of the democracies, and I prefer it. If you don’t like people, put up with them as well as you can. Don’t try to love them; you can’t, you’ll only strain yourself. But try to tolerate them.
Most of these people one doesn’t know and some of them one doesn’t like.
Most of them one doesn’t like to celebrate festivals and the rest one doesn’t like to click pictures with.
Most of them one doesn’t like to hang out with.
Most of them one doesn’t like to know and the rest of them one doesn’t like to have lunch with.
None of these
Solution:
Option (a) is contextually and grammatically correctly here. ‘Most of these people one doesn’t know and some of them one doesn’t like.’

Q14. As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the points of supplying all the basic essentials of life, food, shelter, cloth, and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfil needs which have been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, -------------------------------------------------.
we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for discord and disregard or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and trouble others.
we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we quit our jobs.
None of these
Solution:
Option (c) is contextually and grammatically correctly here. ‘we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.’

Q15. Now-a-days we are amused by professionals. Why listen to your friends singing when you can hear the great singers of the world on the gramophone or the radio? Why read even a detective story if you can see one at the cinema, and why play football with players who are not very good when you can go, by train or car, to see some of the best players in your country playing an important match or if you have a television set, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
just sit comfortably at home and watch the same without the trouble of going outside.
just study at home and don’t go for regular tution classes.
just eat popcorn and relax.
just sit comfortably at home and meditate in peace.
None of these

    Directions (11-12): In each question below is given a statement, followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the three given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing. 


    Q11. Statement: There have been quite a few incidents of highway robbery on the super expressway between cities A and B during recent months.

    Courses of action: 
    I. The local administration should immediately set up police along the expressway to prevent robbery.
    II. The local administration should immediately close down the expressway till the robbers are apprehended.
    III. More and more people should be given training on how to tackle with the robbers.
    Only I follow
    Only I and II follows
    Only I and III follow
    All follow
    None of these
    Solution:
    Clearly, incidents of robbery can be practically averted only by tightening security arrangements and increasing vigilance by police. So, I follows. Neither II nor III follows as none of them is practically viable.

    Q12. Statement: In one of the worst accidents in railway level crossing, fifty people died when a bus carrying them collided on to a running train.
    Courses of action: 
    I. The train driver should immediately be suspended.
    II. The driver of the bus should be tried on court for negligence on his part.
    III. The railway authority should be asked to man all its level crossings.
    None follows
    Only I and II follow
    Only III follow
    Only II and III follow
    None of these
    Solution:
    The problem discussed in the statement is not regarding the current accident, but to do something to avert such mishaps. Accidents at railway crossings can be averted by deploying men to regulate traffic and installing barriers to check traffic movement when a train passes by. So, only III follows.

    Q13. Statement: “Put a notice on the board that all the employees should come on time to office.” -An officer tells his assistant. 
    Assumptions: 
    I. All the employees come late.
    II. Employees read such notice on the board.
    III. Employees will follow the instructions.
    Only I and II are implicit
    Only III is implicit
    Only II and III are implicit
    Only I and III are implicit
    All are implicit
    Solution:
    The notice directs all the employees to come on time. This does not mean that all of them come late. So, I is not implicit. Since the officer orders the assistant to put the notice on the board, it is evident that the employees read such notice on the board. So, II is implicit. Also, the employees have to comply with the orders of the officer. So, III is implicit.

    Q14. Statement: ‘Move into the upper echelons without paying a steep price — Book a luxurious flat with us’. An advertisement of a construction company for its prestigious project. 
    Assumptions: 
    I. It is possible to join the select bank of rich people by hard work.
    II. Staying in luxury without paying steep price is the criterion of upper crust of the society.
    III. Booking a luxurious flat is very easy now.
    None is implicit
    Only II is implicit
    Only III is implicit
    Only II and III are implicit
    None of these
    Solution:
    The statement advocates that a person can upgrade to a high life style by paying a low price to book a luxurious, upper-class flat. So, III is implicit. However, nothing about the nature of the upper-class or the ways of becoming rich can be assumed from the given statement. So, neither I nor II is implicit.

    Q15. Statement : Should there be only few big banks in place of numerous smaller banks in India?
    Arguments: 
    I. Yes. This will help in securing the investor’s money as these big banks will be able to withstand intermittent market related shocks.
    II. No. A large number of people will lose their jobs as after the merger many employees will be redundant.
    III. Yes. This will help consolidate the entire banking industry and will lead to healthy competition.
    None is strong
    Only I and II are strong
    Only II and III are strong
    Only I and III are strong

                    Q1. X’s age 3 years ago was three time the present age of Y. At present, Z’s age is twice the age of Y. Also, Z is 12 years younger than X. What is the present age of Z?
                    15 years
                    24 years
                    12 years
                    6 years
                    18 years
                    Solution:
                    Let present ages of all the three are X, Y and Z respectively.
                    X = 3Y + 3 …(i)
                    Z = 2Y        …(ii)
                    X = Z + 12 …(iii)
                    From equations (i), (ii) and (iii)
                    X – 3Y = 3 and X – 2Y = 12
                    After solving these two resultant equations, we get
                    Y = 9 years
                    ∴ Z’s present age = 18 years.
