Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

This year, I celebrated twenty-five years with a Seeing Eye dog. When I came to "The Seeing Eye' in 1983, I had no idea how much my canine partner would do for me. I can well remember walking down a country road independently, with a light step and joy in my heart, knowing that Novel, my first Seeing Eye dog, would keep me safe.

Since that glorious beginning, my dogs have seen me through two university degrees while living in four different cities in Canada and the United States. These competent and loving guides have shown me amazing skills, keeping me safe from traffic, fallen trees, new places, and a host of unseen dangers. I have acquired self-confidence and a faith that anything is possible with my dog by my side. Over the years, my dogs have always been a source of pride and pleasure for me, and I brag about them to my family and friends.

Today, the way young Rambo manoeuvres me through the rush-hour traffic is wonderful. But it is all those little things, like finding a table at a restaurant finding empty cubicles at the physical therapy clinic where I work, that can mean so much more. Rambo is my sixth guide, who arrived in June 2008 after Ruskin left me. He has already established himself in my heart. He is guiding me through another chapter in my life. I wish to thank all my friends at 'The Seeing Eye' for the support they have offered me over the years. I also thank them for being like family and, most importantly, for being there to train these furry soul-mates so well!

Once upon a time, there was a good Spirit who worked selflessly for his master and mistress. With time, he got very attached to them. He loved them so much that he decided to stay with them much longer. Jealous of him, the other spirits provoked their Chief against him. The mischievous Chief ordered the Spirit to go and serve in a house in far-off Norway. Before leaving, the Spirit spoke to his Master, "I do not know for what fault I am being sent away, but to leave this place is in my destiny. However, I can fulfill three wishes of yours before I go." Without losing any time, the Master wished for riches and wealth. It was promptly fulfilled. The wealth brought along the fear of thieves, beggars, and taxes by the King. The Master lost his peace and was always worried, ill-tempered, and unhealthy. He then made his second wish, to be a simple, ordinary man again. The Spirit made him ordinary, again. The Master finally made his last wish and asked for wisdom, peace of mind, and a life free of worries.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the question of where and when the Black Death, the deadliest pandemic ever, originated is one of the biggest mysteries in human history. After all, the Black Death was the first wave of the second plague pandemic of the 14th to early 19th centuries. It killed some 50-60% of the population in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and an unaccountable number of people in Central Asia. Different proposals, based on competing theories, have been put forward. But in 2017, I came across some records describing an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, which I suspected may hold the key. As part of a multidisciplinary team co-led by Maria Spyrou at the University of Tubingen, we have now investigated several specimens from individuals buried at that site – and come up with an answer. The idea that the Black Death originated in the east – territories overlapping, roughly speaking, Central Asia, Mongolia and China – dates back to the contemporaries of the pandemic in Europe and the Islamic world. The modern, academic Chinese origin theory dates back to at least 1756-8 and a publication about the history of Central Asia by French scholar Joseph de Guignes.
What is the theme of the passage?

Option 1: Pitfall of Black Death

Option 2: Impact of Black Death

Option 3: Origin of Black Death

Option 4: History of Black Death

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Origin of Black Death


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The passage primarily focuses on the mystery of the origin of the Black Death, discussing different proposals and theories, and introducing the findings of an investigation into a medieval cemetery in Kyrgyzstan that may hold the key to understanding where and when the Black Death originated.

Therefore, the appropriate theme of the passage is: Origin of Black Death.
