Questions
S.1-100) The five sentences labelled (A, B, C, D, and E) given in the questions,
when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled
with an alphabet. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this
sequence of five alphabets as your answer.

Q.1)
A) As the name suggests, naturopathy invokes ‘naturalness’ to bind together what
are otherwise fundamentally disparate interventions.
B) This anti-establishment melting pot approach to healing is a global
phenomenon, best exemplified by ‘naturopathy’, a popular healing system
pioneered in late 19th-century Germany.
C) At the Immanuel Medicine Zehlendorf naturopathy clinic in Berlin, for instance,
patients have an enormous variety of options available: nutrition supplements,
high-dose Vitamin C infusions, leech therapy, dry and bloody cupping, and many
herbal medicines – drawn from Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, Swiss
hydrotherapy and ‘Indigenous’ traditions.
D) Two centuries ago, lumping these together would have seemed completely
nonsensical.
E) It doesn’t matter that these systems are built on fundamentally different
metaphysical systems and causal theories of illness.

Q.2)
A) They identify causal mechanisms that reliably execute various functions such as
copying DNA, attacking antigens, photosynthesizing, discerning temperature
gradients, capturing prey, finding their way back to their nests and so forth.
B) Biologists like to think of themselves as properly scientific behaviourists,
explaining and predicting the ways that proteins, organelles, cells, plants, animals
and whole biota behave under various conditions, thanks to the smaller parts of
which they are composed.
C) But they don’t think that this acknowledgment of functions implicates them in
any discredited teleology or imputation of reasons and purposes or understanding
to the cells and other parts of the mechanisms they investigate.
D) But when cognitive science turned its back on behaviourism more than 50 years
ago and began dealing with signals and internal maps, goals and expectations,
beliefs and desires, biologists were torn.
E) All right, they conceded, people and some animals have minds; their brains are
physical minds – not mysterious dualistic minds – processing information and
guiding purposeful behaviour; animals without brains, such as sea squirts, don’t
have minds, nor do plants or fungi or microbes.

Q.3)
A) He was revolted by the ‘Bacchanalians’ who were so intoxicated that ‘the only
thing intelligible in [their conversation] was oaths and God damns’, and left the
tavern only when they found ‘no more rum in play’.
B) On the contrary, he hoped to control the masses from a safe distance: to ‘keep
the great Leviathan of Civil Society under proper discipline and order … as that the
frantic animal may not destroy itself.’
C) Upon arriving at a Maryland tavern in 1744, Dr Alexander Hamilton (not to be
confused with the more famous secretary of the treasury) found himself seated
amid a ‘drunken club’ of lower-class men.
D) As an elite physician travelling North America’s eastern seaboard, Hamilton was
not keen to mix with men of inferior social standing, especially when they were
drunk.
E) But when Hamilton complained to the tavernkeeper about the ‘disorderly
fellows’, the publican could only reply: ‘Alas Sir! We that entertain travellers must
strive to oblige everybody, for it is our daily bread.’

Q.4)
A) Over the course of history, we have extracted many balls.
B) The rest have been various shades of grey: a mix of good and bad, whose net
effect is difficult to estimate.
C) Most have been beneficial to humanity.
D) One way of looking at human creativity is as a process of pulling balls out of a
giant urn.

Q.5)
A) I was visiting a small museum in southern Arizona and saw on the wall a 19th-
century photo of a white woman with a tattooed face who had been captured by
local Native Americans, who themselves traditionally tattooed their faces.
B) Clearly, she must have (willingly or not) adopted the dress and habits of her

D) For a long time, I stared at her and wondered about what archaeologists call

E) But did the exchange of ideas and cultural practices go both ways?

Q.6)
A) The cells pursue with determination and gusto: under a microscope you can
watch a blob-like macrophage chase a bacterium across the slide, switching course
this way and that as its prey tries to escape through an obstacle course of red
blood cells, before it finally catches the rogue microbe and gobbles it up.
B) Single cells don’t have minds of their own – so surely they don’t have goals,
determination, gusto?
C) But hang on: isn’t this an absurdly anthropomorphic way of describing a
biological process?
D) Animal immune systems depend on white blood cells called macrophages that
devour and engulf invaders.
E) When we attribute aims and purposes to these primitive organisms, aren’t we
just succumbing to an illusion?

Q.10)
A) Sociology is, after all, deeply invested in its Others; racial others, gendered

even if too narrow a lens is applied when studying some of these social others.
B) It should matter now more than ever.
C) With Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests spreading across the globe this year, this

affects everyday life.
D) Yet it disappoints, because it doesn’t know it’s others very well.

Q.22)
