Correct Answer: theology

Biology, chemistry, and zoology are all branches of science. Theology is the study of religion.
Correct Answer: cushion
Explanation:
Seat, rung, and leg are all parts of a chair. Not all chairs have cushions.
Correct Answer: Only III is implicit
Explanation:
The Corporation's response to the letter cannot be deduced from the statement. So, I is not implicit. The municipality's position in regard to water supply is also not mentioned. So, II is also not implicit. Since the residents talk of 'restoring' normalcy, it means that water supply was adequate in the past. So, III is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are strong
Explanation:
Merit, fair selection and equal opportunities for all - these three factors, if taken care of, can help government recruit competent officials and also fulfil the objectives of the Constitution. Thus, both the arguments hold strong.
Correct Answer: Only argument I is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, higher education is not the cause of unemployment. In fact, it has created greater job opportunities. So, argument II is vague. Also, higher education promotes the country's development. So, argument I holds.
Correct Answer: Only argument I is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, the autonomous status of the Doordarshan will be a step towards giving it independence for an impartial coverage. Autonomous status does not mean that the coverage will be decided by a few. So, only argument I holds.
Correct Answer: Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
Explanation:
The government must have seen the unawareness of the people as a strong factor in the primary education programme being not successful. The step indicated in I must, thus, have been sought for as a remedy for the same.

The tadpole is a young frog; frogs are amphibians. The lamb is a young sheep; sheep are mammals. Animal (choice a) is incorrect because it is too large a grouping: Animals include insects, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Choices b and c are incorrect because they are not part of the progression.
Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the non-infected persons should not be debarred from visiting India. So, only course II follows.
