SET - 1
1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Lalgarh: Two traps have been laid in the forests near Lalgarh, where a tiger was photographed on Friday. The traps-eight feet long, four feet wide and six feet high-have been sent from the Jharkhali tiger rescue centre in the Sunderbans, wildlife officials said. Live baits have been placed in the traps set up at strategic locations inside the Melkhedia forest by a team of forest officials and vets from the Sunderbans. The traps are camouflaged with leaves and twigs. "Friday's sighting is the first in the history of Jhargram district in recent memory. Wildlife personnel here are not equipped to deal with tiger traps. So, we sent a team from Jharkhali," a forest official said. A fresh footage of the tiger emerged on Saturday morning, said Ravi Kant Sinha, the chief wildlife warden of the state. The cameras that captured the tiger's images on Friday and Saturday are different. The full-grown male was first clicked inside the Melkhedia forest-a 50 sq. km. patch in district, some 180 km from Calcutta-at 4.28 am on Friday and again at the same spot at 6.15 a.m. A search for the tiger was triggered by attacks on Villager's livestock and the spotting of pug marks in the forest. Several pairs of cameras were set up in the forest after wildlife officials confirmed them as tiger pugs. A team of 12 forest officials, armed with tranquilliser guns, has been deputed to capture the tiger. The forest department hopes the tiger will be captured soon but the officials are prepared for a long wait. Two more traps have been kept on standby. If the tiger is not captured within four-five days, more traps will be laid. "If any other footage emerges in another part of the jungle, the trap will be moved there", the forest official said. Lalgarh, Madhupur and other villages in the vicinity of the jungle are in the grip of fear. Wildlife officials and policemen are working together to cordon off the forest. Security pickets, comprising forest guards and policemen, have been posted at all seven entry points to the forest to keep villagers away. "Apart from the risk to human life, the presence of human beings in the forest could also scare the tiger into hiding or prompt it to seek an escape route." said Rabindranath Saha, the divisional forest officer of Midnapore range. Forest officials suspect the tiger may have strayed from Odisha or Jharkhand. Once captured, he will be taken to a hospital for a comprehensive check-up. "We will look for injuries and ailments", said the forest official in Calcutta. If fit, the tiger will be released into the wild again.

2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
When I was at college I used to spend my summer vacations in Dehra, at my grandmother's place. I would leave the plains early in May and return late in July. Deoli was a small station about thirty miles from Dehra, it marked the beginning of the heavy jungles of the Indian Terai. The train would reach Deoli at about five in the morning, when the station would be dimly lit with electric bulbs and oil-lamps, and the jungle across the railway tracks would just be visible in the faint light of dawn. Deoli had only one platform, an office for the station master and a waiting room. The platform boasted a tea-stall, a fruit vendor, and a few stray dogs; not much else, because the train stopped there for only ten minutes before rushing on into the forests. Why it stopped at Deoli, I don't know. Nothing ever happened there. Nobody got off the train and nobody got in. There were never any coolies on the platform. But the train would halt there a full ten minutes, and then a bell would sound, the guard would blow his whistle, and presently Deoli would be left behind and forgotten. I used to wonder what happened in Deoli, behind the station walls. I always felt sorry for that lonely little platform, and for the place that nobody wanted to visit. I decided that one day I would got off the train at Deoli, and spend the day there, just to please the town. I was eighteen, visiting my grandmother, and the night train stopped at Deoli. A girl came down the platform, selling baskets. It was a cold morning and the girl had a shawl thrown across her shoulders. Her feet were bare and her clothes were old, but she was a young girl, walking gracefully and with dignity.

3. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
New Delhi: Renowned British physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking died today. He was 76. Hawking had a rare early-onset slow progressing form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease or, Lou Gehrig's disease, that gradually paralysed him over the decades. The diagnosis of his disease came when Hawking was 21 years old, in 1963. The theoretical physicist had thirteen honorary degrees, says a biography on his website. He was awarded the CBE (1982), Companion of Honour (1989) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2009). He was also the recipient on many awards, medals and prizes, most notably the Fundamental Physics Prize (2013), Copley Medal (2006) and the Wolf Foundation Prize (1988). He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Hawking's many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with GFR Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 years of Gravitation with W Israel. Among the popular books Hawking wrote are his best seller A Brief History of Time, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, The Universe in a Nutshell, The Grand Design and My Brief History. The theoretical physicist was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied Physics, despite his father's urging to focus on medicine.
