In the 1920s, new technology allowed (29) (allow) film-makers to attach to each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchronized with the action on the screen. These sound films were initially distinguished (30) (distinguish) by calling them talking pictures, or talkies. The next major step in the development of cinema was the introduction of colour. While the addition of sound of film revolutionized the medium, quickly driving (31) (drive) out silent movies, colour was adopted (32) (adopt) more gradually. The public was relatively indifferent to colour photography as opposed to black-and-white. But as colour processes improved and became as affordable as black- and-white film, more and more movies were filmed in colour after the end of World War II, as the industry in America came to view colour an essential to attracting audiences in its competition with television, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-60s. By the end of the 1960s, colour had become the norm for film-makers.

One of the major processes that takes (29) (take) place in schools, of course, is that students learn. When they graduate from high school, many can use a computer, write essays with three-part theses, and differentiate equations. In addition to learning specific skills, they learn (30) (learn) to think critically, to weigh evidence and to develop independent judgement. The extent to which this development takes place is related to both school and home environmet. Teachers who are more open to new ideas and less authoritarian produce students who have greater intellectual flexibility and higher achievement test scores. Studies show that teachers are most demanding (31) (demand) when they are of the same social class as their students. The greater the difference between their own social class and that of their pupils, the more rigidly they structure their classrooms and the fewer demands they place (32) (place) on their students.

Naval architects never claim (29) (claim) that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained (30) (maintain). It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled and sank in a cold, stormy night. It went (31) (go) down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were (32) (be) men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.

It was sold (31) (sell) well though, by modern standards it must have been bit frustrating since when you wanted your film developed, you had to pack up the camera and send it back to the factory.

The developing world has learned (31) (learn) a lot about commercial models, infrastructure and technology from Europe and North America. Those patterns worked well economically, but the world’s carbon capacity cannot allow us to continue on this path. Rising pollution in the developing world is ranked (32) (rank) as the sixth most significant global trend this year – and in Asia it’s the third.

Thailand alone has more than 20,000 registered cricket farms, mostly run by smallholders. The European Union is becoming more interested in insects as a potential food source for the growing world population. It is cofinancing the PROTEINSECT research project that is exploring (31) (explore) the use of insect protein in food for people or as animal fodder.

Harvesting seaweed ‘forests’ and feeding them into large underwater digesters could one day meet the world’s energy needs, with nine percent of the ocean floor being (29) (is) enough to replace fossil fuels entirely, according to an ambitious idea. Even a more immediate and realistic use of seaweed — a major untapped resource would increase (30) (increase) the self-sufficiency and sustainability of small island states, but limited investment is preventing (31) (prevent) the roll-out of relevant technologies, marine biofuel experts have said. Using wild or farmed seaweed to fuel anaerobic digesters could provide local communities with abundant energy through biogas as well as producing fertilizer, according to Antoine N’Yeurt, a researcher at the Pacific Centre for Environment and Sustainable Development at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji. “These applications will reduce (32) (reduce) the dependency of small island countries on imports and build much more sustainable societies,” he told SciDev.Net on the sidelines of the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Hawaii, United States, last month (23-28 February)

These people believe (30) (believe) religion is completely unnecessary and it’s no longer needed to fill the void that science filled. Religion once had (31) (have) a role in explaining where the world came from and how human beings came to be. Science has replaced (32) (replace) this idea of a creator with evolution and the Big Bang. Many people who frown upon religion feel as though it has caused more harm and trouble than it’s worth.

Cities across the world have been pushing (29) (push) themselves hard to be the next London or New York. The reasons are not hard to seek: over several decades now economists have been celebrating (30) (celebrate) cities not just as a magic pill to get the world rid of poverty but as a turbo-charged engine that can transport people to a land of eternal prosperity. In fact, a UN Habitat report calls cities “the highest pinnacles of human creation”. The same report also says that by 2050, two-thirds of the global population will be living (31) (live) in urban areas; the World Bank estimates that the developing world will account for over 90 per cent of urban growth. Now the question is: do the developing countries really understand the rules of the game they are so keen on playing? Building skyscrapers or grand mansions to make the city look like New York or London is (32) (be) not progress or development. Following basic requirements of town planning is more important.

Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were (29) (be) both PhD students at Stanford University in Stanford, California. While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better system that analyzed the relationships between websites. They called this new technology PageRank; it determioned (30) (determine) a website’s relevance by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site. Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine “BackRub”, because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word “googol”, the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked (31) (pick) to signify that the search engine was intended (32) (intend) to provide large quantities of information. Originally, Google ran under Stanford University’s website, with the domains google stanford.edu and z.stanford.edu

In ancient times, India had (29) (have) the Gurukula system of education in which anyone who wished to study went to a teacher’s (Guru) house and requested to be taught. If accepted as a student by the Guru, he would then stay at the Guru’s place and help in all activities at home. This not only created a strong tie between the teacher and the student, but also taught the student everything about running a house. The Guru taught (30) (teach) everything the child wanted to learn, from Sanskrit to the holy scriptures and from Mathematics to Metaphysics. The student stayed as long as he wished or until the Guru felt that he had taught (31) (teach) everything he could teach. All learning was closely linked to nature and to life, and not confined to memorizing some information. The modern school system was brought to India, including the English language, originally by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s. The curriculum was confined (32) (confine) to “modern” subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary.

There was a time when politics was associated with only the middle-aged and senior citizens. The presence of youth in politics was not welcomed (29) (not welcome), with the exception of a few. However, in a country with the world’s largest youth population, it is no doubt that their voice matters. In the past few years, there has been (30) (be) a huge rise in the involvement of students in politics. Time and again, we have seen how they have stood together to raise their voice against social injustices and have made (31) (make) a huge impact on policies affecting them, such as safety of women, reservation, academic freedom, etc. On the other hand, we have witnessed (32) (witness) incidents of rioting where students take the law into their own hands and disrupt daily affairs over a clash of political ideologies. It is therefore important to analyse the role of student unions. For these future leaders, student unions are the first step to understanding how a democracy works.
(23) Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate form of the word given in bracket.
Cricket bats, historically, have been made (29) (make) from willow wood, from a variety of White Willow to be precise. This willow is very robust, thus preventing the bat from splintering when striking the cricket ball with a high bat speed. The one drawback of bats made in the 1800s was the fact that bats back then were (30) (be) extremely heavy. The weight of those bats on an average was an enormous 5 pounds. The solution to the issue was found (31) (find) in 1890 when C.C. Bussey, an English bat manufacturer, experimented by making a bat with the sapwood of the willow tree. He found that the bats made from the sapwood of the tree were much lighter than earlier. Thereafter, the practice of using the heartwood of the tree was shelved (32) (shelf) once and for all.

Steyn posted a video of the encounter on Instagram and urged his followers to avoid getting in a similar situation to the one he found himself in. “So this poor guy was hit (32) (hit) by a car, we stopped to move him out the road thinking it was a brown house snake,” Steyn wrote on his Instragram account.
(25) Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate form of the word given in bracket.
Industrial revolution followed by the advances in information technology during the last century has changed (29) (change) people’s lifestyle, radically.

The technical prowess acquired during the last century has posed (30) (pose) a new challenge in the management of wastes. These days computer has become most common and widely used gadget in all kinds of activities ranging from schools, residences, offices to manufacturing industries. Disposal of e-wastes is (31) (be) a particular problem faced in many regions across the globe. Computer wastes that are landfilled produces contaminated leachates which eventually pollute the groundwater. Acids and sludge obtained from melting computer chips, if disposed on the ground causes acidification of soil. For example, Guiyu, Hong Kong a thriving area of illegal e-waste recycling is facing (32) (face) acute water shortages due to the contamination of water resources.
(26) Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate form of the word given in bracket.

Vedic philosophy, the Upanishads, Ayurveda, Yoga, the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, Sanskrit, Tamil, zero, the number system, algebra, arithmetic, astronomy, astrology, temple architecture, metallurgy and chess are just a few examples of India’s prodigious contribution. More than a thousand years before Copernicus, 23-year-old Aryabhata wrote (30) (write) in his famous Aryabhatia that the Earth rotates round its axis. Chanakya’s Arthashastra was the oldest and most comprehensive treatise on the economy and statecraft. The genius Ramanujan reinvented European mathematics working on his own. Despite a tradition of excellence and innovation Indian innovation and invention has fallen (31) (fall) behind many countries of the world. The growth of the Indian IT industry and India’s achievements in space and atomic energy suggest that the tide is turning (32) (turn).
(27) Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate form of the word given in bracket.
A work-at-home scheme is a get-rich-quick scam in which a victim is lured by an offer to be employed (29) (employ) at home, very often doing some simple task in a minimal amount of time with a large amount of income that far exceeds the market rate for the type of work. The true purpose of such an offer is for the perpetrator to extort money from the victim, either by charging a fee to join the scheme, or requiring the victim to invest in products whose resale value is misrepresented. For example, The victim sees (30) (see) a flyer advertising a job stuffing envelopes, with “up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff with postage and address already affixed!”, offering a payment of Rs. 15-25 per envelope. To apply for the job, the victim is required (31) (require) to send a self-addressed stamped envelope for information and a small processing fee.

“Some of the most terrifying moments of my life have been (29) (be) in the midst of conflict: with American marines in Fallujah in 2004 and with armed bands in Sierra Leone in 1993. I stood next to mounds of dead Iranian soldiers, teenagers actually, during the Iran-Iraq War in 1984. The horror of war is a reality I have experienced (30) (experience) firsthand. And yet an analyst must never give in to his or her emotions. He or she must view history with a heart of ice to find patterns that others miss”. This is what Stanford classics professor Ian Morris does in his new book, “War! What Is It Good For?” Conflict and the Progress of Civilization from Primates to Robots. Morris, both an archaeologist and a historian, surveys (31) (survey) thousands of years of history and comes away with the seemingly startling thesis that human progress has been helped, rather than hindered, by war. A theme that runs through Morris’ book is that while some idealists worship primitive societies and the noble savages who populate them, primitive societies rather than idyllic retreats have been filled (32) (fill) more often, with the terrifying human monsters associated with William Golding’s 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies.

It was suggested (31) (suggest) that Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son Aurangzeb before it could be built. Ruins of blackened marble across the river in Moonlight Garden, Mahtab Bagh, seemed to support this legend. However, excavations carried out (32) (carry out) in the 1990s found that they were discolored white stones that had turned black.
