Q.6
Read the passage and answer the question:
Helicopter is one of my favourite toy. When compared to airplanes, it differs in three ways. 1. Have you seen a plane during its take-off? The airplane needs to move forward on its runway before it lifts off upward. A helicopter can move straight up without having to move ahead. 2. An airplane cannot fly back, wherein a helicopter can. 3. The helicopter uses a flight mechanism to hover in the air, which means to stay in one place, which cannot be done by a plane. The main advantages of helicopters are they do not require a runway or large space like an airport. They help us in putting off the fire by dropping water as they can hover and they are used to lift tree logs cut from forests. As we see in movies, helicopters are used by the police department in pursuit of suspects on the ground and to search for cars on the ground. They are also used in medical emergencies to airlift patients out of emergency situations avoiding the traffic. Airplane should _________________________.
Q.7
Read the passage and answer the question:
Mr Chang must know that the PM was addressing the whole country and not just the thinkers. In the speech that lasted about an hour, he talked on subjects that he felt the people would like to listen to and possibly act on his exhortations. On this, he scored one hundred percent. The PM tore into the general psyche of being soft on male children as compared to female children. I am optimistic this will strike a chord in all sets of parents and, hopefully, they will teach their male children to behave responsibly. Every other issue he addressed would also directly affect the masses, and the PM wanted positive action from his citizens. On internal security, defence, and space, what could the people contribute if the PM had mentioned his plans? There is not much that people can contribute directly to the space and defence sectors. However, on internal security, he did indirectly touch upon it by exhorting all sections of society to shun all forms of violence, including communal violence. A majority of internal security issues would be resolved if the communities lived in peace and harmony with each other. On defence and space, the PM would definitely engage with the persons involved in those sectors, which he has done extremely well so far. Also, there is a significant amount of risk in outlining your strategies in critical sectors such as defence.
When the PM said 'the general psyche of being soft', what did he mean?
Q.8
Choose the correct verb form or tense from the options to complete the statement:
She used to bring me lunch every weekend, but she _______ now.
Q.9
Choose the correct meaning of the proverb/idiom:
The speaker gave a 'bird's eye view' of the political conditions in the country.
