496 . Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. The primary purpose of education is to make our lives easy and beautiful in all aspects. However, if we analyze the actions done and the endeavours undertaken by the educated people of all times, we find that those have not always been beneficial to humankind; some have even threatened the existence of human beings. Thus, education at many times has failed to serve its primary purposes. Why does it happen? Education gives us knowledge and skills, and eventually provides us with power. This power sometimes turns us into monsters and, sometimes, angels because the power of education can be used both for good and evil purposes depending on the intention of its users. The wars, for example, that took the lives of billions of innocent people were waged and executed by the educated people. Heinous scams and horrific incidents of corruption were also committed by the individuals having high academic degrees from world famous institutions. So, education does not always guarantee beauty and ennoble us unless it is imbued with morality, ethics and humanity. Choose the most suitable title for the passage.
  • A. Benefits of education
  • B. Bad effects of education
  • C. Reconsidering the objectives of education
  • D. Importance of education for human beings-

497 . About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots, by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require the energy of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high-energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.  The Solitary Reaper in Wordsworth 's poem was singing -

510 . Influenza, or flu, is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. The flu virus is highly contagious: when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, respiratory droplets are generated and transmitted into the air, and can then be inhaled by anyone nearby. Additionally, a person who touches something with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, eyes or nose can become infected. Before COVID-19, the most severe pandemic in recent history was the 1918 influenza virus, often called "the Spanish Flu". The virus infected roughly 500 million people - one-third of the world's population - and caused SO million deaths worldwide (double the number of deaths in World War I). In the United States, a quarter of the population caught the virus, 675,000 died, and life expectancy dropped by 12 years. With no vaccine to protect against the virus, people were urged to isolate, quarantine, practice good personal hygiene, and limit social interaction. The first observations of illness and mortality were documented in the United States (in Kansas) in March 1918 and then in April in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. To maintain morale, World War I censor minimized these early reports. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic'seffects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish Flu". Until February 2020, the 1918 epidemic was largely overlooked in the teaching of American history, despite the ample documentation at the National Archives and elsewhere of the disease and its devastation. The 100-year-old pictures from 1918 that just months ago seemed quaint and dated now seem oddly prescient. The phrase 'hard hit'in line 18 means -
  • A. to his strongly
  • B. to heat very hard
  • C. to hardly suffer
  • D. to be adversely affected
