Q2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
The unique Iron Age Experimental Centre at Lejre, about 40 km west of Copenhagen, serves as a museum, a classroom and a place
to get away from it all. How did people live during the Iron Age? How did they support themselves? What did they eat and how did
they cultivate the land? These and a myriad of other questions prodded the pioneers of the Lejre experiment.
Living in the open and working 10 hours a day, volunteers from all over Scandinavia led by 30 experts, built the rst village in the
ancient encampment in a matter of months. The house walls were of clay, the roofs of hay - all based on original designs. Then
came the second stage - getting back to the basics of living. Families were invited to stay in the 'prehistoric village' for a week or
two at a time and rough it Iron Age-style.
Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for modern Danes accustomed to central heating, but it convinced the centre that
there was something to the Lejre project. Little by little, the modern Iron Agers learnt that their huts were, after all, habitable. The
problems were numerous - smoke belching out from the rough-and-ready replaces into the rooms and so on. These problems,
however, have led to some discoveries: domed smoke ovens made of clay, for example, give out more heat and consume less fuel
than an open re, and when correctly stoked, they are practically smokeless.
By contacting other museums, the Lejre team has been able to reconstruct ancient weaving looms and pottery kilns. Iron Age
dyeing techniques, using local natural vegetation, have also been revived, as have ancient baking and cooking methods.
What can be the title of the passage?
Q3. Sheila was selected for the job as she already ________.
Q4. Teenagers are often priced out of the labor market by the government-mandated minimum-wage level because employers
cannot afford to pay that much for extra help. Therefore, if Congress institutes a
subminimum wage, a new lower legal wage for teenagers, the teenage unemployment rate, which has been rising since 1960,
will no longer increase.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
a. Since 1960 the teenage unemployment rate has risen when the minimum
wage has risen.
d. The teenage unemployment rate rose more quickly in the 1970's than it
did in the 1960's.

The piranha is a much-maligned sh. Most people think that this is a deadly creature that swarms
through rivers and creeks of the Amazon rainforest looking for victims to tear apart. And woe betide anyone unlucky enough to be in
the same water as a shoal of Piranhas. It takes only a few minutes for the vicious Piranhas to reduce someone to a mere skeleton.
The truth is that the piranha is really a much more nuanced animal than the mindless killer depicted in the
media. In fact, Piranhas are a group made up of approximately twelve different species. Each piranha
species occupies its own ecological niche. One type of piranha takes chunks out of the ns of other sh. Another type eats fruit falling from
trees

/
you hear someone talking about the “deadly piranha”? You can remind them that the piranha is not
always the notorious killer sh that the tough, muscular heroes of popular nature television shows would have us believe.
However, Piranhas are not always that deadly. In fact, they usually swim alone. They eat small sh as
well as seeds and fruits that fall into the water. Piranhas rarely attack people.
Piranhas swim in rivers and lakes in South America. And they are kept as pets around the world. Because they eat so much and can be
expensive to feed, some pet owners have released them into local waters. This practice has introduced Piranhas to habitats outside
their native range. In these new environments, many Piranhas have eaten large numbers of sh, frogs, and other water animals.

The Maastricht Treaty can be termed as the rst formal treaty that led to the creation of European Union. The treaty was signed on Feb
7th 1992 and came to the existence on Nov 1st 1993. Denmark, France and Great Britain rejected the treaty in its original format.
With the Edinburgh Agreement in Dec 1992 and second referendum on 18th May 1993, Denmark
adopted the treaty with exceptions, namely with provisions on Citizenship, Uni ed Economic and
monetary policies, and Defence policies and Justice and Home Affairs. The adoption of treaty required approval from citizens of each
member states. France narrowly adopted the referendum in September 1992, with 51.05% in favour. Britain has consistently opposed
the idea of currency uni cation with Euro, although some provisions of Maastricht treaty were supported.
Although the treaty initiated the uni cation of European community in areas of criminal justice and inter-
governmental cooperation, the advantages of Euro as a currency over national currencies for
stronger European economies have yet to be established. Almost all European states are following
an economic cycle of boom and bust, with UK’s economy showing a high correlation with that of US. Lack of a federal structure to
control in ation, interest rate and taxes in the European Union have made it dif cult for ECB to make effective monetary policies.
The success of EU depends on each state, and weak links in the system can destabilize the entire union, as has been the case with the
crisis in Greece, Ireland and Spain. With a uni ed monetary policy, the central bank has exposure to debts in weak economies. Politicians of
strong economies have to convince the parliament, the people and other member states about a justi able
bailout package. The risk on Euro increases with interest rate hikes. With economic growth, risk of in ation is high. Strong
economies opt for interest rate hikes to compensate in ation. Each country, its economy and people has different sensitiveness
towards in ation and interest rate hikes. When an
economy is faced with debt, unemployment and slow demand, interest rate hikes can be catastrophic. With
the abolishment of independent monetary policies, Euro faces the risk of dissolution.
Q38. Which of the following is the primary reason for problems like in ation and economic instability in the
European Union?
