Sample QuestionDirections (Q. 1 – 10): The passage given below is followed by a set of ten questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question. BERKELEY: Today, in the same laboratories where scientists long designed the most destructive weapons on earth, a new kind of non-violent arms research is under way. At Lawrence Livermore in California and Los Alamos in New Mexico, where nuclear warheads were invented and endlessly refined, scientists are experimenting with devices that will temporarily disable soldiers and equipment without permanent harm to either. Proponents of this research call it "non-lethality." They present it as an effort to develop life-conserving, environment-friendly systems for curbing aggression - high technology devices that obviate the use of lethal means while minimising loss of life and damage to the environment. Examples include weapons to keep planes grounded by preventing their engines from starting, instruments to incapacitate enemy soldiers with non-lethal chemicals and electromagnetic pulses (EMP), infra sound waves to disorient civilians for crowd control and psychological operations, and devices to confound sophisticated commandant control systems. They achieve their disabling effects through temporary expedients as anti-traction agents, calmatives, stun guns, and supercaustics. More long-lasting changes are produced by laser weapons, high-powered microwaves, and non-nuclear EMP. Officials at premier weapons laboratories in the US view non-lethal technologies as the perfect growth industry to supplant some of the nuclear research scaled down by the end of the Cold War. This new breed of non-lethal weaponry may sound like the fantasy of a pacifist with a passion for high technology. But it is being touted by individuals and institutions at the opposite end of the political spectrum from the classical non-violent tradition of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Among the most ardent proponents is Ray Cline, a former CIA deputy director. After retiring he established the US Global Strategy Council (USGSC) to promote a "national non-lethality initiative" and other policies to advance US interests. The USGSC has a host of conservative luminaries including President Reagan's hardline UN ambassador, Jean Kirkpatrick, former generals, admirals, and defence secretaries. It formed a "non-lethality policy review group" in 1990 that bent the ears of then vice president Dan Quayle, chief of staff John Sununu, and national security adviser Brent Scowcroft. The group even persuaded the Bush Administration to establish a non-lethality task force under the secretary of defence. The non-lethal idea gained favour in the run-up to the Gulf War, where it was promoted as a means of immobilising Iraqi forces without killing soldiers or civilians. With such high-level endorsements, non -lethality has rapidly gained respectability in the same corridors of power from which advocates of non -violence have been routinely barred. Support from those who traditionally favour aggression says much about how such seemingly benign technologies will ultimately be deployed. Like Star Wars a decade ago, non-lethality exerts a formidable appeal, promising to render the enemy "impotent and obsolete" without the messy and morally repugnant expedient of spilling innocent blood. Both strategies begin with an eminently sensible question: In an age of dazzling inventiveness, is it still necessary to kill others to prevent them from killing us? Are there not less harmful means of preventing harm? These questions demand better answers than thus far has been found. As with Star Wars, the context in which this version of non- lethality is being introduced betrays its fundamentally aggressive nature. Strategic missile defence could only have worked if it replaced rather than reinforced the superpowers' deadly nuclear offences. The underlying motivation of its proponents, however, was to marry offence and defence to forge a more impregnable and intimidating arsenal. As a fundamentally political - rather than strategic - offensive it stole the wind from an emerging anti-nuclear movement, claiming the moral high ground by adopting the rhetoric of pacifism while dispensing with its substance. While some proponents emphasise the strategy's “peacemaking” capabilities, Pentagon Generals stress that non-lethality will "expand force options" and allow commanders to "effect control over people" where lethal force may be politically unpalatable. Advertised not as a replacement for but a reinforcement of lethal force, non-lethality permits the discreet exercise of military power. In addition, its advocates stress that by opening up employment and profit possibilities, non-lethality can soothe a defence industry battered by shrinking military budgets. Is it any wonder then that it has found favour with the hawks? Although its present formulation is flawed and potentially perverse, non-lethality still raises an essential challenge to the scientists of our time: Can human ingenuity prevent harm as effectively as it has been harnessed to inflict it, or is the marriage between high technology and non-violent values inherently a bargain? Question: Which of the following best approximates the concept of “ Non-Lethality”?

Sample QuestionMost icebergs are formed in the waters of the world's polar and subpolar regions. These are the regions in and around the North and South Poles. Icebergs melt as they encounter warmer ocean breezes closer to the equator. This happens with most, but not all, icebergs. One record-setting iceberg managed to travel further from the frigid waters near the poles than any other iceberg has been known to travel. In 1894, an iceberg broke off from Antarctica in the south and began moving slowly northward. It eventually left the very cold water near the pole and entered warmers waters. This unusual iceberg managed to get amazingly close to the equator. It was observed at a latitude of about 26 degrees south of the equator. This is on the same latitude as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is famous for its comfortably warm waters and weather throughout the year. The subject of the passage is
