Quiz 3 – Answers
S1.
Ans.(c); ABDE-...'to do an honest day’s work is beautifully
captured'....is the correct formation of sentence.
S2.
Ans.(b); ABCE-....'of students, CBSE has decided not'....as
CBSE is an organisation which is a singular subject. Thus, singular form of
verb will come here.
S3.
Ans.(a); ABDE-....'installation of computers and'....'installation' is
a noun whereas 'installing' is a verb. Thus, according to the
structure of the sentence 'installation' is the correct usage
here.
S4.
Ans.(d); BCDE- ...'If the Central government had taken'...According
to the conditional sentence agreement, the principal clause will always be in
past perfect tense if the subordinate clause is in future perfect continuous or
vice-versa.
S5.
Ans.(b); ABCD-...'the filmmaking'...Here, we are talking
about the style and formation of a film, not of the persons who have made it.
Thus, 'filmmaking' is the most appropriate answer.
S6.
Ans.(a); ACDE- 'Over 50 families evacuated'...'evacuation' is
a noun and 'evacuated' is a verb. Hence, the structure of the
sentence will take verb with it instead of noun.
S7.
Ans.(d); ABCD- ....'ended at midnight on Monday'...As the
sentence is in simple past tense, hence the further part of the sentence will
also be in simple past tense rather than past perfect tense.
S8.
Ans.(a); ABCE- ...'did not function'...The given statement
is in simple past tense. Therefore, 'will not' will be
replaced by the 'did not'
S9.
Ans.(c); BCDE-...'The police tried to mitigate'...'to' is
always followed by the first form of verb. So, 'mitigate' will
replace 'mitigating'
S10.
Ans.(d); ABDE- ...'when they were told that'...In the given
sentence, people are told/informed by the officials. Thus, 'telling' doesn't
fit here.
S11.
Ans.(e); No Error
S12.
Ans.(b); ABCD- ...'they said'...Given sentence is in
simple past tense. Hence, 'they said' is the correct usage.
S13.
Ans.(a); ACDE- ...'had no way of checking the'...The given
sentence is in past tense. Therefore, 'have' doesn't fit here.
S14.
Ans.(b); ABCE- ...'hellbent on dividing us'. They will...'hellbenting' is
an incorrect word .i.e. verb like this doesn't exist. Thus, 'hellbent' will
come here.
S15.
Ans.(d); ABCE- ...'install a new statue'...'installation' will
get replaced by 'install'
QUIZ 4
Directions (1- 10): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below them. Certain words/phrases have
been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.
Last
year the idea took hold that Mark Zuckerberg might run for president in 2020
and seek to lead the world’s most powerful country. Today, Facebook’s founder
is fighting to show that he is capable of leading the World’s eighth-biggest
listed company or that any of its 2.1bn users should trust it. News that
Cambridge Analytica (CA), a firm linked to President Donald Trump’s 2016
campaign, got data on 50m Facebook users in dubious, possibly illegal, ways has
lit a firestorm. Mr.Zuckerberg took five days to reply and, when he did, he
conceded that Facebook had let its users down in the past but seemed not to
have grasped that its business faces a wider crisis of confidence. After months
of talk about propaganda and fake news, politicians in Europe and,
increasingly, America see Facebook as out of control and in denial.
Congress wants him to testify. Expect a roasting.
Since the news, spooked investors have wiped 9% off Facebook’s shares. Consumers are belatedly waking up to the dangers of handing over data to tech giants that are run like black boxes. Already, according to the Pew Research Centre, a think tank, a majority of Americans say they distrust social-media firms. Mr.Zuckerberg and his industry need to change, fast.
Since the news, spooked investors have wiped 9% off Facebook’s shares. Consumers are belatedly waking up to the dangers of handing over data to tech giants that are run like black boxes. Already, according to the Pew Research Centre, a think tank, a majority of Americans say they distrust social-media firms. Mr.Zuckerberg and his industry need to change, fast.
The addiction game
Facebook’s
business relies on three elements: keeping users glued to their screens,
collecting data about their behavior and convincing advertisers to pay billions
of dollars to reach them with targeted ads. The firm has an incentive to
promote material that grabs attention and to sell ads to anyone. Its culture
melds a ruthless pursuit of profit with a Panglossian and narcissistic belief
in its own virtue. Mr.Zuckerberg controls the firm’s voting rights. Clearly, he
gets too little criticism.
In the latest fiasco, it emerged that in 2013 an academic in
Britain built a questionnaire app for Facebook users, which 270,000 people
answered. They in turn had 50m Facebook friends. Data on all these people then
ended up with CA. Facebook says that it could not happen again and that the
academic and CA broke its rules; both deny doing anything wrong. Regulators in
Europe and America are investigating. Facebook knew of the problem in 2015, but
it did not alert individual users. Although nobody knows how much CA benefited
Mr. Trump’s campaign, the fuss has been amplified by the
left’s disbelief that he could have won the election fairly. But that does not
give Facebook a defense. The episode fits an established pattern of sloppiness
towards privacy, tolerance of inaccuracy and reluctance to
admit mistakes. In early 2017 Mr.Zuckerberg dismissed the idea that fake news
had influenced the election as “pretty crazy”. In September Facebook said
Kremlin-linked firms had spent a mere $100,000 to buy 3,000 adverts on its platform,
failing at first to mention that 150m users had seen free posts by Russian
operatives. It has also repeatedly misled advertisers about its user
statistics.
