The correct answer is 'he had been gifted an apartment by the Govt as part of the slum clearance drive'.
 
Key Points
  • The sentence describes a situation where the hutment dweller receives a positive and unexpected surprise from the government.
  • Out of all the options, Option 4 best aligns with the context of a "pleasant surprise" for the hutment dweller.
  • Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect as they imply negative or neutral outcomes rather than a pleasant surprise.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 
Complete Sentence: "It was a pleasant surprise for the hutment dweller when the Govt. official told him that he had been gifted an apartment by the Govt as part of the slum clearance drive."
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "he had to vacate the hutment which he had been unauthorisedly occupying" contradicts the idea of a pleasant surprise as it implies a negative outcome.
  • Option 2: "he would be arrested for encroaching on the pavement outside his dwelling" is incorrect as it conveys a threat rather than a surprise.
  • Option 3: "they had received orders from the Court to take possession of his hutment" is incorrect as it implies a legal action against the dweller, not a pleasant surprise.

Q4.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Aesthetic political representation urges us to realize that ‘the representative has autonomy with regard to the people represented’ but autonomy then is not an excuse to abandon one’s responsibility. Aesthetic autonomy requires cultivation of ‘disinterestedness’ on the part of actors which is not indifference. To have disinterestedness, that is, to have comportment towards the beautiful that is devoid of all ulterior references to use – requires a kind of aesthetic commitment; it is the liberation of ourselves for the release of what has proper worth only in itself. 
Q5.The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer: 1. Complex computational elements of the CNS are organized according to a “nested” hierarchic criterion; the organization is not permanent and can change dynamically from moment to moment as they carry out a computational task. 2. Echolocation in bats exemplifies adaptation produced by natural selection; a function not produced by natural selection for its current use is exaptation -- feathers might have originally arisen in the context of selection for insulation. 3.

The dominant hypotheses in modern science believe that language evolved to allow humans to exchange factual information about the physical world.

Q8.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Brown et al. (2001) suggest that ‘metabolic theory may provide a conceptual foundation for much of ecology just as genetic theory provides a foundation for much of evolutionary biology’.

Considering only the 10 most - cited papers within this 12000 publication set, genetic theory can be seen to focus on genome dynamics, phylogenetic inference, game theory and the regulation of gene expression.
