Passage 1
1 The passage is taken from a description of the life of certain Pacific Islanders
written by a pioneering sociologist.
By the time a child is six or seven she has all the essential avoidances well enough
by heart to be trusted with the care of a younger child And she also develops a
5 number of simple techniques. She learns to weave firm square balls from palm
leaves, to make pinwheels of palm leaves or frangipani blossoms, to climb a
coconut tree by walking up the trunk on flexible little feet, to break open a coconut
with one firm well-directed blow of a knife as long as she is tall, to play a number
of group games and sing the songs which go with them, to tidy the house by
10 picking up the litter on the stony floor, to bring water from the sea, to spread out
the copra to dry and to help gather it in when rain threatens, to go to a neighboring

house and bring back a lighted faggot for the chief's pipe or the cook-house fire
But in the case of the little girls all these tasks are merely supplementary to the
main business of baby-tending. Very small boys also have some care of the
younger children, but at eight or nine years of age they are usually relieved of it.
Whatever rough edges have not been smoothed off by this responsibility for
20 younger children are worn off by their contact with older boys. For little boys are
admitted to interesting and important activities only so long as their behavior is
circumspect and helpful.
Where small girls are brusquely pushed aside, small boys will be patiently
25 tolerated and they become adept at making themselves useful. The four or five
little boys who all wish to assist at the important, business of helping a grown
youth lasso reef eels, organize themselves into a highly efficient working team;
one boy holds the bait, another holds an extra lasso, others poke eagerly about in
holes in the reef looking for prey, while still another tucks the captured eels into
30 his lavalava The small girls, burdened with heavy babies or the care of little
staggerers who are too small to adventure on the reef, discouraged by the hostility
of the small boys and the scorn of the older ones, have little opportunity for
learning the more adventurous forms of work and play. So while the little boys
first undergo the chastening effects of baby-tending and then have many
opportunities to learn effective cooperation under the supervision of older boys,
the girls' education is less comprehensive They have a high standard of individual
responsibility, but the community provides them with no lessons in cooperation
with one another. This is particularly apparent in the activities of young people:
the boys organize quickly; the girls waste hours in bickering, innocent of any
technique for quick and efficient cooperation.

LOGICAL REASONING
Passage – 1
There is a small fire station in town. At this station, the firefighters are volunteers. That means they
work for free The fire station gets some money from the government to take care of the building and
the fire truck. But the fire station has a problem. Last winter, a pipe in the fire station froze Then it
burst. Water went everywhere There is a lot of damage Now the building cannot be used) What is
worse, the fire station does not have enough money for the repairs needed to fix the damage The
people in town are worried about what will happen if there is a fire and no working fire station. But
they will figure out a way to solve the problem. They always do!
Q.20 The main problem in the town is that

Passage – 2
I am the mother of three children. My youngest daughter is sick. She has an illness that will never go
away, but it can be managed She needs medicine to manage her illness. This medicine used to cost
ten dollars a month. Now it costs thirty dollars a month. Without this medicine, my daughter has
trouble breathing. Sometimes her lungs do not work well. She cannot get enough air into her lungs.
Then she needs the medicine to help her lungs work again. We have to buy the medicine We do not
have a choice But it will be hard to find an extra thirty dollars a month. Our family will have to
spend less money on other things.

Passage – 3
By the mid-nineteenth century, mass production of paper patterns, the emergence of the home
sewing machine, and the convenience of mail order catalogs brought fashionable clothing into the
American home By the early twentieth century, home economists working in extension and outreach
programs taught women how to use paper patterns to improve the fit and efficiency of new garments
as well as how to update existing ones.
Teachers of home economics traditionally made home sewing a critical part of their curriculum,
emphasizing self-sufficiency and resourcefulness for young women. However, with the increasing
availability of mass-produced clothing in catalogs and department stores, more and more women
preferred buying garments to making them. As a result, home economists shifted their attention to
consumer education. Through field study, analysis, and research, they became experts on the
purchase and preservation of ready-to-wear clothing for the family, offering budgeting instruction
targeted at adolescent girls. Modern home sewing made it possible for American women to
transcend their economic differences and geographic locations with clothing that was increasingly
standardized The democratization of fashion continued through the twentieth century as the ready-
to-wear market expanded and home sewing became more of a pastime than a necessity.

(D) home economists had to compete with the ready-to-wear marketplace

Q.25 This passage focuses on the
(A) historical shifts in home sewing from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth century
(B) changing role of home economists as a result of changes in the world
(C) impact of ready-to-wear and mass-produced fashion on home sewing
