VA > Passage

Easy

Read the passage given below and answer the questions. Narrative writing, at its core, is the art of storytelling. When you're reading a narrative, you can assume that the author intends to entertain. Like other types of writing, the narrative form too has certain elements: Interestingly the characters need not only be human, but can also be defined as anything that thinks, acts and talks like a human, for example, fantastical creatures and talking trees in the Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. The characters are part of the plot or sequences of events in which while there is a climax, foreshadowing and flashbacks fill in the details. The focus of the narrative lies in its conflict- both internal and external. The character's emotional turmoil is presented through thoughts, while external conflicts are visible. They may be representative of person versus nature, person versus person or person and society. In some case, the narrative follows a linear, chronological progression. A viewpoint narrative that focuses on the narrator's perspectives or a descriptive narrative that focuses on how the story is setting, characters and objects look and feel. Irrespective of form, the narrative follows a structure wherein the main character pursues a goal and faces a challenge. The conclusion after the climax, wraps up loose story threads, satisfies readers remaining curiosities and positions the protagonists for life after the story's events.

From the passage we can refer that the purpose of a narrative is to:

Advance Understanding

Instruct

Recount

Reasonable

Read the passage given below to answer the questions: As the rulers of the planet, humans like to think that it is the large creatures who will emerge victorious from the struggle for survival. However, nature teaches us the opposite, it is often the smallest species which are the toughest and most adaptable. A perfect example is the hummingbird, which is found in America. One species of hummingbird, known as the bee hummingbird, ranks as the world's smallest and lightest bird and it is barely visible when it is in flight. Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards. They feed mainly on the nectar of flowers, a liquid that is rich in energy. Nectar is an ideal food source, for hummingbirds need an incredible amount of energy to sustain their body metabolism. A hummingbird's wings flap at a rate of about 80 times per second and its tiny heart beats more than 1000 times per minute. This is why they must consume relatively large quantities of food. In the course of a day, hummingbird consumes about half its body weight in nectar.

Read the passage given below to answer the questions Because of the proximity and likeness of Mars to Earth, scientists have long speculated about the possibility of life on Mars. As early as the mid-17th century, Astronomers observed polar caps on Mars. And by the mid-19th century, scientists discovered certain similarities to Earth, including the length of the day and axial tilt. But in 1965, photos taken by the Manner 4 probe revealed Mars without rivers, oceans, or signs of life and in the mid-1980s it was discovered that Mars, unlike earth, no longer possessed a substantial global magnetic field, allowing radiation to reach the planet's surface, and solar wind to eliminate much of Mars's atmosphere even in the course of several billion years. More recent probes have focused on whether there was once water on Mars. Some scientists believe that their question is definitely answered by the presence of certain geological landforms. Others offer different explanations, such as wind erosion or carbon dioxide oceans that may be responsible for this formation. Mars's Rovers, Opportunity and Spirit, which have been exploring the surface of Mars since 2004, have both discovered geological evidence of past water activity. These finding substantially bolster claim that there was once life on Mars.

The authors opinion on the possibility of life on Mars can be described as:

Cynical

Disinterested

Skeptical

Opportunistic

From the passage you can infer that

the presence of certain geological land forms is not definite proof that there was once life on Mars.

the presence of polar caps on Mars is related to the presence of life on Mars.

the claim that there was once water on Mars has no support from recent discoveries.

it is likely that there were scientific discoveries related to the probability of life on Mars prior to the mid-17th century.
