TEST STRUCTURE AND SAMPLE QUESTIONS

1 XviTESTING SERVICESISO 9001:2015 CERTIFIEDISO / IEC 27001:2013 CERTIFIEDTEST STRUCTURE AND SAMPLE QUESTIONSSECTION-I:LANGUAGE COMPREHENSIOND irections (Question 1-2): Study the given passageto answer the QUESTIONS that follows the a hundred years ago as humans we had asimple, uncomplicated biological connect. It was astraightforward equation: we drew roughly 3,000calories each of energy out of the Earth for our foodand life s sustenance. Today that number per capitahas grown to 1,00,000 calories. We still need only3,000 calories each to nourish life itself. All the restof this energy is what we extract from the Earth foreverything else besides keeping ourselves alive. Insome countries, like the US, this per capita numberruns at over 2,00,000 calories. Some of us areconcerned about this. We fret over what we could and should really be doing to soften this abuse ofresources.

2 Little things fox us in the welter of thingsthat we get to read. What is sustainabledevelopment? How can it be started at our homes?Beyond the ceremonial planting of green and gettingpeople to run marathons of various lengths in supportof the environment, is there more that we can add tothe abstract value of sustainability ? What are thelittle things we can do in our day-to-day lives, toreduce demand for things that people make andmarket? Of course, we know that it helps to avoid aplastic bag when you can use a newspaper bag, or abrown bag, or even a jute bag which you can use formany more years unlike a plastic bag which you throwaway in less than a week or after a few , there s actually quite a bit more that youand I can do, without compromise on comfort, withvery little as cost incurred, with financial savings thatyou can gain on energy and water use, and withsolutions that are very feasible and within your is possible to understand our ecological footprintand its disastrous consequences, not merely in termsof our own behaviour as consumers.
