Passage –1

Ian Fleming’s evil globe-fish – also known as puffer, blowfish, swellfish, or in

Japanese, fugu – is one of the most mysterious creatures of the sea. It is
perhaps the world’s most deadly fish, yet in Japan the honorable fugu is the
epitome of gourmet dining.

About 100 species of puffers in several closely related families can be found
throughout the world. Their most obvious characteristic is their ability to balloon
out from a reasonable fish shape into a sphere two or three times large. When
frightened, excited, or annoyed, they gulp water, or even air, into a sac on the
belly. It swells inside their tough, elastic skin, like an inner tube inside a tire, so
as to discourage predators or intimidate rivals. When the fish feels safe, it
squirts out the water or releases the air, deflating to its normal shape.

In Japan, eating fugu has been the gastronomic version of Russian roulette for
centuries. Sometimes a diner stills losses the gamble. His chopsticks clatter to
the table from nerveless fingers; he pales; his breathing labours. It is often the
subject of traditional senryu verse. Last night he and I ate fugu;
Today, I help carry his coffin
"It’s a terrible death," a Japanese restaurant owner told me. "Even though you
can think very clearly, your arms and legs become numb. It becomes impossible
to sit up. You can think but cannot speak, cannot move, and soon cannot
breathe."

Why the Japanese, who venerate hygiene, should make a ritual of eating deadly
poisonous fish, is difficult for foreigners to comprehend. fugu ovaries, intestine,
and liver can be so deadly that if even a tiny touch of them is left in the flesh,
the gourmet dies, often within minutes. About 60 percent of puffer poisonings
prove fatal.

When eating fugu, the diner puts his life in the hands of the chef. Before
practicing their risky art, all fugu cooks must be licensed and must take intensive
courses, extensive apprenticeship, and written exams.

To eat fugu liver is the height of exotica. It is one of the most poisonous parts of
the fish, and techniques for detoxifying it are not dependable. Chefs are
prohibited from serving fugu liver, but they sometimes relent under the
impassioned pleas of gourmets. Mitsugoro Bando had four servings and paid the
ultimate price.

Despite the danger, demand for puffers is increasing so fast that the Japanese
fishing grounds are being depleted. Today the Japanese are successfully culturing
the fish.

Every year from October through March, millions of diners bet their lives on not
getting fatally poisoned. Thanks to strict regulation of restaurants and
wholesalers, the number that loses decreases each year. But this droll and
perposterous fish with the goggling eyes, swollen belly, and floppy fins remains
the world’s most deadly feast. The enigma of the fugu is summed up in the
traditional verse:
Those who eat fugu soap are stupid

But whose who don’t eat fugu soup are also stupid.

151. A fugu eater is likely to lose his life

Almost always sometimes often rarely.

152. All the following are the symptoms of fugu poisoning except, not being able
to
speak think move breathe.

153. Of the least poisonous parts of fugu is/are its

ovaries intestines heart liver.

154. Of those affected by fugu poisoning, the survival rate is about.

50% 60% 30% 40%

155. The height of fugu season is during the

summer rainy season spring winter
156. What the traditional verse really implies is
wise people eat fugu soup wise people don’t eat fugu soup.
[1] and [2] none of the above.

Passage – 2

A majority of scientists now agree that the "ozone hole" developed over the
Antarctica due to the greatly increased use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Though they were regarded as chemically inert materials, under conditions in the
atmosphere with intense solar radiation CFCs have reacted with ozone. As the
chlorine oxide amounts increased,, the ozone amount in the stratosphere (which
protect the earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation) fell. A wide range of effects
through "ozone hole" was expected: skin cancers, damage to crops and animals
and changes in the worlds weather patterns. Some international agreements
including the Earth Summit (1992) contain provisions to reduce the release of
CFSs and other harmful chemicals drastically by 2000 AD. The limit set by the
European Union include complete phasing out by 1994 of Halons, the range of
compounds containing Bromine used in fire extinguishers, as these are
considered very harmful to atmospheric ozone. The heightened awareness in
recent years keep earth’s environment free of pollutants has produced one
salutary effect in the form of two innovations: (1) the first CFC-free refrigerator
made by a German firm DKK in 1992, using propane and butane as the coolant
and pentane for the insulating foam (2)New engine fitted to jet aircraft to
generate less oxides of nitrogen (NOX) which are damaging to ozone.

157. the European Union envisaged

the total ban on CFC’s by 2000 AD.
The complete phasing out of Halons.
Increasing "Eco-system" awareness among the peoples in the European
Union <1i>

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Bromine
Citric acid.

159. The development of the "ozone hole’ over Antarctica was mainly due to <>
increase in the level of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere.
Increase in the use of Oxides of Nitrogen.
Damage caused by humans (viz) construction, waste and fuel spillage.

may lose his life. Hence, the answer is [2].

152. Not being able to speak, move and breathe are symptoms of fugu
poisoning. Not being able to think is not a symptom of fugu poisoning because
para 3 states that one can think but cannot speak, etc. Hence, the answer is [2].
153. Ovaries, intestines, and liver are stated as being the most poisonous parts
of a fugu. Hence, by a simple process of elimination, option [3] is the logical
choice.
