Q.7
Read the passage and answer the question:
The helicopter is one of my favourite toys. Compared to aeroplanes, it differs in three key ways:
Have you ever watched an aeroplane take off? It must accelerate down a runway before lifting into the air. A helicopter, however, can ascend vertically without moving forward.
An aeroplane cannot fly backwards, but a helicopter can.
Helicopters can hover — that is, remain stationary in midair — a manoeuvre aeroplanes cannot perform.
One major advantage of helicopters is that they do not require runways or large airport spaces. They help extinguish fires by dropping water — made possible by their ability to hover — and are used to lift logs harvested from forests. Police departments deploy helicopters to pursue suspects and locate vehicles from the air. In medical emergencies, they airlift patients quickly, bypassing traffic congestion.
An aeroplane should _________________________.
Q.8
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?
