B. Considered as the main
C. Of transferring
D. Unknown to the science world

Answer: B

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, have been the topic of many scientific studies looking into
how they might boost our well-being. It is likely that humans and dogs have shared a special bond of
friendship and mutual support ever since at least the Neolithic period — but why has this bond been so
long-lasting?
A recent study showed that owning a dog reduces a person’s risk of premature death by up to a third.
Also, researchers at the University of Harvard in Cambridge, MA, suggest that dog owners have a lower
risk of heart disease.Dogs can strengthen our health not just as we grow older, but also much, much
earlier than that: before we are even born. Research published last year suggests that children who were
exposed to dogs while still in the womb — as their mothers spent time around dogs during pregnancy —
had a lower risk of developing eczema in early childhood. When we interact with dogs, our oxytocin
levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone largely responsible for social bonding, this hormonal “love
injection” boosts our psychological well-being. Previous studies analyzed in the review have revealed
that dog owners have more positive social interactions, and that the presence of canine friends makes
people more trusting. Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more
resilient to stress. That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.

1. Sum of odd integers in array

Problem statement
An odd number is an integer which is not a multiple of 2. You
are required to implement the following function:
Int SumOddIntegers(int arr[], int n);
The function accepts an integer array ‘arr’ of length ‘n’ as its argument. You are required to calculate the
sum of all odd integers in an array ‘an’ and return the same.
Note: https://www.freshersnow.com/placement-papers-download/ Array can
have negative integers
n>0
Computed values lie within integer range Example:
Input:
arr: 1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
n: 8
Output:
24
Explanation:
The odd integers in array {1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 11, 5} are {1, 7,11, 5} and their sum is 24, hence 24 is
returned.
The custom input format for the above case:
8
1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
(The first line represents ‘n’ the second line represents the elements of the array)
Sample Input
arr: 2 4 9 7 11 13 25 31 6 8 10 24
n: 12
Sample Output
96
The custom input format for the above case:
12
2 4 9 7 11 13 25 31 6 8 10 24
(The first line represents ‘n’, the second line represents the elements of the array) Code
