Psychologists divide extra-sensory perception (ESP) into four types. The first is telepathy. In telepathy a person is able to communicate with another who may be far away. A soldier on the battle front receives a message from his wife. Another type of ESP is clairvoyance, the ability to see events, persons and things not known to anyone else. The third type of ESP is precognition, the ability to foresee what is going to happen in the future. Finally there is psychokinesis, the power of mind over matter : a person having this ability will be able to move objects without touching them.

Some people say technology has improved our world. Do you agree or disagree with that view? Use specific examples and reasons to explain your answer.

Answer

I agree that technology has improved our world, although it must be used wisely.

First, technology has transformed health care. Vaccines, X-rays, ultrasound and surgical machines save millions of lives, and a doctor in Kathmandu can now advise a patient in a remote hill village through a phone call. Second, communication has become fast and cheap. People talk to relatives abroad through video calls, and students attend online classes and find free study material, which was impossible a generation ago. Third, technology has made work easier and more productive. Tractors, electric pumps and mobile banking help farmers and small businesses to earn more and save time.

Technology has drawbacks, such as pollution, screen addiction and job losses caused by machines. However, these problems come from careless use, not from technology itself. With proper rules and habits, the benefits clearly outweigh the harms.

In conclusion, technology has made life healthier, faster and more comfortable, so I strongly agree with the view that it has improved our world.

After the preposition "between" the pronouns must be in the objective case, so "us and them" is correct. "me and they" and "they and me" mix cases or use the subject form.

Answer

(b) A phoenix: a nobel man

The other pairs link an animal with a negative human trait (cunning, corruption, foolishness). The phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and excellence, not a vice, so it is the odd one out.

Convict : prison :: (a) tiger: den (b) lion: lair (c) owl : barn (d) fowl : kennel

Answer

(c) owl : barn

A convict is kept in a prison. "tiger : den" and "lion : lair" are synonymous pairs (a den is a lair), so neither can be the single intended match, and "fowl : kennel" is wrong because a kennel is for dogs. "Owl : barn" is the remaining pair, a creature and the building it dwells in.

Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle, called a draisienne, was invented in Germany in 1818 by Baron Karl de Drais de Sauerbrun. Because it was made of wood, the draisienne wasn’t very durable nor did it have pedals. Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground. In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had tires with iron rims to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated cranks, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modern bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers. In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved crank mechanism. They called their bicycle a vélocipède, but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the jarring effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the unflattering nickname, the vélocipède was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people. Ten years later, James Starley, an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient, and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy, and ridden mostly for entertainment. It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it much less prone to toppling over. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the rear wheel. By 1893, the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson, bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.
There is enough information in this passage to show that (a) several people contributed to the development of the modern bicycle. (b) only a few vélocipèdes built by the Michaux family are still in existence. (c) for most of the nineteenth century, few people rode bicycles just for fun. (d) bicycles with wheels of different sizes cannot be ridden easily.

Structuralists seek to analyze the adult mind (the total sum of experience from birth to the present) in terms of the simplest definable components of experience and then to find how these components fit together to form more complex experiences as well as how they correlate to physical events. To do this, structuralists employ introspection: self-reports of sensations, views, feelings, and emotions. Titchener believed the mind was the accumulated experience of a lifetime. He believed that he could understand reasoning and the structure of the mind if he could define and categorize the basic components of mind and the rules by which the components interacted. Structuralists believe that our consciousness is composed of individual parts which contribute to overall structure and function of the mind. Titchener's theory began with the question of what each element of the mind is. He concluded from his research that there were three types of mental elements constituting conscious experience: Sensations (elements of perceptions), Images (elements of ideas), and affections (elements of emotions). These elements could be broken down into their respective properties, which he determined were quality, intensity, duration, clearness, and extensity. Both sensations and images contained all of these qualities; however, affections were lacking in both clearness and extensity. And images and affections could be broken down further into just clusters of sensations. Therefore, by following this train of thinking all thoughts were images, which being constructed from elementary sensations meant that all complex reasoning and thought could eventually be broken down into just the sensations which he could get at through introspection. The second issue in Titchener's theory of structuralism was the question of how the mental elements combined and interacted with each other to form conscious experience. His conclusions were largely based on ideas of associationism. In particular, Titchener focuses on the law of contiguity, which is the idea that the thought of something will tend to cause thoughts of things that are usually experienced along with it. Titchener rejected Wundt's notions of apperception and creative synthesis (voluntary action), which were the basis of Wundt's voluntarism. Titchener argued that attention was simply a manifestation of the "clearness" property within sensation. Once Titchener identified the elements of mind and their interaction, his theory then asked the question of why the elements interact in the way they do. In particular, Titchener was interested in the relationship between the conscious experience and the physical processes. Titchener believed that the physical processes provide a continuous substratum that gives psychological processes a continuity they otherwise would not have. Therefore, the nervous system does not cause conscious experience, but can be used to explain some characteristics of mental events.
What method do structuralists primarily use to analyze the components of the mind? (a) Psychoanalysis (b) Introspection (c) Behavioral observation (d) Neuroimaging

On the 16 August, 1987 when I was told I had cancer of the lungs, my relatives and friends were alarmed at the apparent with which I received the news.

Diamond value is based on four characteristics: carat, color, clarity, and cut. A diamond’s size is measured by carat weight. There are 100 points in a carat and 142 carats in an ounce. Each point above 1 carat is more valuable than each point below 1 carat. Thus, a stone that weighs more than 1 carat is more valuable per point than a stone that is smaller than 1 carat. The scale used for rating a diamond’s color begins with “D,” which means the stone is absolutely colorless and therefore most valuable. “E” and “F” are almost colorless. All three are good for investments. A stone rated between “G” and “J” is good for jewelry. After that the stones take on a slightly yellowish color, which gets deeper as the grade declines. The clarity of stone is determined by its lack of carbon spots, inner flaws, and surface blemishes. While most of these are invisible to the unaided eye, they do affect the diamond’s brilliance. For jewelry, a diamond related VVSI (very very slight imperfections) is as close to flawless as one will find. After that the scale goes to VVS2, VS1, VS2 SI, SI2, I1, I2, and so on. Final characteristic is cut. When shaped (round, oval, emerald, marquise, pear, or heart), the diamond should be faceted so that light is directed into the depth of the prism and then reflected outward again. A well-cut diamond will separate the light into different colors when the light is reflected. Only stones of similar shape should have their reflective qualities compared, as some shapes are more reflective than others. For example, the round shape is the most reflective.
The passage is mainly about (a) the cost of diamonds. (b) qualities affecting diamond values. (c) how to judge an expensive diamond. (d) buying diamonds for jewelry

Gavin is a successful freelance IT consultant- but he hasn’t always been one. His original training was as an architect and he went on to practice that profession for several years, before losing his job in recession. Rather than look for another job within architecture, he decided to see if he could make a living from his favorite leisure occupation-computers. ‘I never imagined I’d make such good earning,’ he says. And he’s doing well- the quality of his work means that his phone is always ringing. ‘Because I know both the software and the hardware side of computers, I can find out where problems are quickly.’ It’s often the case in consultancy that different specialists are only able to work on certain aspects. Of course, there are disadvantages to the job. Scheduling can sometimes be a problem. If he’s already busy, and then someone calls with an urgent problem, it can either mean letting them down, and so missing out on the payment, or having to work very late to get all the jobs done. People are often very irritated with their computers and the delays breakdowns cause them, but Gavin knows this anger isn’t aimed at him. Most of his clients are private individuals working from home. However, he also deals, for example, with families where the parents want to learn about the Internet in order to keep up with their children, and occasionally with small companies, although crowded offices are not necessarily enjoyable places to do his work in. He’s lucky that the kind of client that accounts for most of his business is also the one he prefers to work with. It’s a strange truth that because he’s effective in his work, he doesn’t often need to be asked back to do more. But personal contact does help, in that clients are always recommending him to their friends and colleagues, and this of course saves the time and effort of advertising in newspapers or building a website. Despite the stress he feels sometimes as he hurries from one side of the city to the other to keep appointments, he enjoys his work. ‘When people suddenly realize what their machine can do for them and how many boring task it can take away from them, that’s brilliant. What that happens, it’s all worth it.’
What does he find most rewarding about his work? (a) Seeing clients understand how computers can help them (b) being able to manage his own time effectively (c) learning to use new computer applications Grammar Causative Verbs The causative verbs are used to indicate that one person causes a second person to do something for the first person. Have, get, make are the causative verbs. Though ‘let’ and ‘help’ are not actually causatives, they function as causatives. General structures: a. Get and have can be used without agent. In such case, the structures to be used are: i) Subject +has/ have/had + agent + infinitive and ii) subject + get/gets/got + agent + to- infinitive For e.g.: My sister had a maid work in the kitchen. I got my friend to write an essay. b. Get and have can be used with object. In such case, the structures to be used are: i) Subject + has/have had + object+ V3 and ii) Subject + get/gets/got + object + V3 For e.g.: I had my job done yesterday. My dad got his letters typed. c. Make is used to make someone do something. In such case , the structure to be used is: subject + make/makes/made + agent + infinitive. For e.g.: John makes Julia wash his clothes. MCQs 1. I got my uncle (mend) the pressure cooker. a. to mend b. mending c. mended (d) mend

Answer

(a) Seeing clients understand how computers can help them

Gavin says that when people realise what their machine can do for them and how many boring tasks it can take away, "that's brilliant... it's all worth it."

Answer

(a) The team of players are ready.

In (b), "Neither ... nor" needs the verb to agree with the nearer subject, "teacher", so it should be "is". In (c), "Every student" needs "has". In (d), "A bunch" needs "is".

On one hand, social media can foster connections and awareness: friends from around the globe can stay in touch, and important social issues can gain attention quickly. For example, a single hashtag or viral post may inspire people worldwide to donate to charity or organize peaceful protests. However, this interconnectedness also has drawbacks. The constant stream of information can lead to anxiety and feelings of inadequacy as users compare themselves to others’ curated lives. Moreover, misinformation can spread just as rapidly, sometimes causing confusion and fear. Additionally, the online environment can become an echo chamber where people only see opinions similar to their own, limiting exposure to different perspectives. Whether as a force for community building or as a source of distraction, social media undeniably shapes modern communication.

Many people assume that success is the result of natural talent, but research shows that effort and perseverance play a bigger role. Psychologist Angela Duckworth coined the term 'grit' to describe a person’s passion and sustained effort toward long-term goals. Grit involves maintaining motivation even when faced with challenges and failures. Studies reveal that students with high levels of grit perform better academically and are more likely to achieve their goals. Unlike intelligence, grit can be developed over time through experience, encouragement, and self-discipline. Cultivating grit means not giving up after a setback and continuing to work diligently despite difficulties.
