The correct answer is Modem.

Key Points

• Modem: The full form of modem is modulator/demodulator. It is a tangible device. The main job of the modem is to help the computer to send and receive data by using a telephonic wire. A hybrid computer uses a modem to convert digital signals from a computer into analogue signals.

Thus the correct answer is Modem.

Additional Information

• Many computers are connected through a communication path which is known as a computer network. The main job of the network is to share information or resources between the computers in a network. The different uses of computer networks are given below:
• Users can communicate with each other using instant messages, files, emails, videos, etc.
• Networking helps to connect devices such as printers, scanners, etc.
• Networking helps users to access information easily.

The correct answer is Vacuum Tubes and Valves.

Key Points

• The first generation of computers (1940-1956) were primarily made using vacuum tubes and valves.
• These computers were massive, often taking up entire rooms, and they consumed a significant amount of electricity.
• Vacuum tubes were used for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory, which made these computers very large and inefficient.

Additional Information

• Transistors: Introduced in the second generation of computers (1956-1963), transistors replaced vacuum tubes and made computers smaller, faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient.
• Integrated Circuits: Used in the third generation of computers (1964-1971), integrated circuits combined multiple transistors into a single chip, further reducing size and cost while increasing performance.
• Large Scale Integrated Circuits: These are used in the fourth generation of computers (1971-present). They integrate thousands of transistors onto a single chip, leading to the development of microprocessors and personal computers.

In MS Excel 2016, there are several shortcut keys that allow you to quickly access different features of the program.

To launch the "Open" dialog box, which allows you to browse and open a file, you can use the shortcut key "Ctrl + F12".

Steps to use this shortcut key:

• Open MS Excel 2016.
• Press and hold the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard.
• While still holding the "Ctrl" key, press the "F12" key.
• The "Open" dialog box should appear on your screen, allowing you to browse and open a file.

  Note: This shortcut key is a combination of the "Ctrl" key and the "F12" key. The "Ctrl" key is used in many shortcut keys in MS Excel to perform different actions. In this case, it is used to open the "Open" dialog box.

The correct answer is Shift+ spacebar

Key Points

• Shift + Spacebar selects the entire row of the currently active cell.
• This shortcut is useful when you want to make changes to or apply formatting to an entire row
• If you want to select the row above, you would first need to move to a cell in that row (e.g., by pressing the Up Arrow key) and then use Shift + Spacebar to select it.

Additional Information

• Ctrl + Spacebar: This selects the entire column of the currently active cell, not the row.
• Alt + Spacebar: This opens the System Menu of the Excel application window; it doesn’t select any row or column.
• Ctrl + +: This is used to insert a new row, column, or cell, depending on the selection.

The correct answer is Bus.

Key Points

• A bus is a connection between components or devices connected to a computer.
• A bus carries data between a CPU and the system memory via the motherboard.
• The bus contains multiple wires (signal lines) with addressing information describing the memory location of where the data is being sent or retrieved.
• For example, a computer with a 32-bit address bus can address 4 GB of memory.
• A bus is either a parallel or serial bus, and either an internal bus (local bus) or an external bus (expansion bus).

Additional Information

The correct answer is 'he didn't want to be caught before the kill'.

Key Points

• The passage describes Raju as someone who engages in pickpocketing, which he considers a gamble.
• He is afraid of being spotted by the policeman because if he is identified, he might be caught before he can complete his attempt to pickpocket.
• This is evident from his efforts to disguise himself by wearing a loin-cloth, being bare-bodied, and wearing an enormous turban to look like a peasant.
• Raju's fear suggests that he aims to avoid detection until he has successfully completed his theft.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Additional Information

• Option 1: There is no mention of a "game" in a literal sense.
• Option 2: While Raju may not be fond of policemen, his primary concern is not getting caught.
• Option 3: The passage does not describe Raju wanting to win a game; it focuses on his criminal activity.

The correct answer is 'a pickpocketer'.

Key Points

• The passage explicitly states that Raju's professional occupation involves watching crowds and putting his hand into other people’s pockets, indicating that he is a pickpocket.
• Raju focuses on being inconspicuous yet alert in a crowd, which aligns with the behavior of a pickpocket.
• His fear of being spotted by a policeman suggests that his activities are illegal, consistent with pickpocketing.
• The passage describes pickpocketing as a gamble, emphasizing the risk and unpredictability involved in his occupation.
• Raju's disguise as a peasant indicates his need to remain undetected, a common tactic to avoid arrest while pickpocketing.
• The passage implies that Raju’s main activity in crowds is pickpocketing, not merely observing.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Additional Information

• Option 1: While Raju is described as an idler, it refers to his personality rather than his profession.
• Option 3: The term "gamble" is used metaphorically to describe the risk of pickpocketing, not his profession.
• Option 4: There is no indication in the passage that Raju is an artist.

The correct answer is: a symptom

Key Points

• Explanation: Among these options, the most accurate description is "a symptom." This implies that child labour is a manifestation of deeper underlying issues such as poverty, lack of education, and social inequality. It is not a standalone problem but a result of these systemic issues.
• Why the other options are incorrect:
• a disease: This option is incorrect because child labour is not a disease. Diseases are medical conditions that impair normal functioning, whereas child labour is a social and economic issue.
• a boon: This option is incorrect because child labour is not beneficial. It has detrimental effects on the physical and mental development of children and deprives them of their childhood and education.
• social responsibility: This option is incorrect because child labour is not a social responsibility. Instead, it is the collective responsibility of society to eliminate child labour and ensure the welfare and rights of children.
• In summary, option 2 accurately describes child labour as a symptom of deeper societal issues. Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect as they misinterpret the nature of child labour and its underlying causes.

The correct answer is: Child Labour

Key Points

• Explanation: The theme of the passage focuses on the issue of child labour. It highlights the various aspects and implications of children being engaged in work that deprives them of their childhood, education, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. This aligns with option 2, which states that the theme is Child Labour.
• Why the other options are incorrect:
• Manual Labour: While manual labour is a type of work that could be performed by children, the passage specifically addresses the broader and more significant issue of child labour, not just manual labour alone.
• Social Crime: Although child labour can be considered a social crime, the passage's primary focus is on the phenomenon itself rather than framing it as a social crime.
• Social Responsibility: The passage might touch on the social responsibility to prevent child labour, but this is not the central theme. The central theme is the issue of child labour itself.
• In summary, option 2 best captures the theme of the passage, which is focused on the issue of child labour. Options 1, 3, and 4 either address related but distinct topics or do not accurately reflect the primary focus of the passage.

The correct answer is '2' i.e. it be much quicker .

Key Points

• The error is in the phrase "it be much quicker".
• This phrase lacks the correct form of the verb 'to be'.
• It should be "will be much quicker" to properly indicate the future tense.

Additional Information

• The future tense in English is often formed using "will" followed by the base form of the verb.
• Examples:
• Correct: "When the new road is finished, it will be much quicker."
• Incorrect: "When the new road is finished, it be much quicker."
