(Questions)
SECTION – I: ENGLISH
Directions for Questions 1 to 5: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Yttrium-90 is a beta emitter that can be loaded into glass or resin microspheres and administered via a
microcatheter into the hepatic artery. TheraSphere glass microspheres (Nordion, Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada) are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with HCC.
The spheres are preferentially taken up by tumor vasculature and, as such, deliver a high dose of
radiation directly to the tumor bed. The half-life of the bead allows for treatment to take place over
weeks, with the theoretical advantage of an improvement in the durability of response. Other
advantages of yttrium-90 include: 1) better tolerability in patients with vulnerable liver reserve (Child-
Pugh class B) when used in a selective manner; 2) because of the size and number of particles, there is
little embolic effect; and 3) the effect of radiation is less acute than any of the embolic techniques, and
there are fewer postembolization syndromes than commonly seen after TACE, DEBs, or bland particle
embolization. Yttrium-90 is delivered in the outpatient setting. The objective response rate is
comparable to that of other catheter-based modalities and depends on several factors including the size
of the lesion, pattern of spread within the liver (unilobularvsbilobular) , and vascularity of the lesion
noted on planning arteriogram. In patients with limited liver reserve (Child-Pugh class C) , some centers
will still consider treatment, but usually as a bridge to a timely transplant. There are disadvantages
specific to radioembolization: 1) the need for a mapping procedure to embolize potential nontarget
vasculature arising from or near the target vessels (ie, right gastric artery, falciform artery, or
gastroduodenal artery) ; 2) the risk of shunting radioactive particles into the lung, resulting in
pulmonary fibrosis; and 3) radiation-induced liver toxicity (approximately 1%-3%) .
Nontargetradioembolization compared with TACE or bland embolization to the lung or gastrointestinal
tract can be particularly devastating.
Tumor evaluation after any catheter-based treatment is difficult. Instead of a decrease in the size and
volume of tumor as seen after a response to chemotherapy, a change in enhancement from early
arterial to no enhancement is widely accepted as a response. Therefore, the modified Response
Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors criteria (mRECIST) have been established for this purpose. The
mRECIST report the percentage of tumor thathas imaging findings consistent with necrosis rather than
absolute size measurements.After radioembolization, 1-month response rates are difficult to measure
because there are often radiation-induced changes in the treated liver. In cases in which AFP is
elevated, changes in AFP may provide better insight into early response. Three months is a far better
judge of maximal response to treatment. Continued response to yttrium-90 even after 3 months has
also been observed.

i. an improvement in the durability of response
ii. better tolerability in patients with vulnerable liver reserve

6. 1. We should not let Heidegger’s infamous connect to fascism blind us to his real insights.
2. Heidegger developers a powerful account of meaning by recasting traditional talk of the self
and the human into an analysis of “Dasein”, literally “being there”.
3. It is sad, but true, that even very bad people may have important things to teach us.Heidegger
does not begin with a “method”.

supervision of individuals (dividuals) in more open non-structured Environments.
A. 32451 B. 12534 C. 14523 D. 35124
10. 1. Modern day Algeria is the ancient homeland (Numidia) of Augustine, and Derrida even lived
on a street called the Rue Saint Augustin.
2. “…It was not surprising that in the last fifteen years Derrida would start talking about religion,
telling us about his “religion (without religion) ,” about his “prayers and tears,” and about the
Messiah.
3. In this text, the son of these tears (Augustine/Jacques) circum-fessed (to God / “you”) about
his mother (Monica / Georgette), who lay dying on the northern shores of the Mediterranean
(Ostia / Nice), to which both families had emigrated.
4. This side of Derrida even makes some admirers nervous, for they would prefer their Derrida
straight up, not on what seems to them religious rocks.
5. He would even write a kind of Jewish Confessions called “Circumfession,” a haunting and
enigmatic journal he kept while his beloved mother lay dying in Nice, a diary cum dialogue
with St. Augustine, his equally weepy “compatriot.”

buffalo).
2. This underlines the fact that in traditional Indian society, property rights depended on force,
not on law or justice.
CP/18/C20

breaking the rules to enrich themselves.
A. 1342 B. 1234 C. 3412 D. 4132
12. 1. One means of addressing this issue is to identify the temporal origins of epigenetic variants
via longitudinal analyses.
2. Here, we report DNA methylomics of archived Guthrie cards for the retrospective longitudinal
analyses of in-utero-derived DNA methylation variation.
3. A major concern in common disease epigenomics is distinguishing causal from consequential
epigenetic variation.
4. However, prospective birth-cohort studies are expensive and time consuming.

Guthrie cards.
A. 12345 B. 23541 C. 31425 D. 41523
13. 1. Twin pairs, both monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) , are ideal for epigenetic
study because they share the same mother but have their own umbilical cord and amniotic
sac, and in the case of identical twins, also share the same genetic make-up.
2. Epigenetic tagging of genes by a chemical modification called DNA methylation is known to
affect gene activity, playing a role in normal development, aging, and also in diseases such as
diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
3. Studies conducted in animals have shown that the environment shapes the epigenetic profile
across the genome, called the epigenome, particularly in the womb.

promised are fulﬁlled.”
A. 1423 B. 2413 C. 3142 D. 3412
15. 1. To minimize the use of percutaneous biopsy and its inherent risks in patients with underlying
liver disease (tract seeding, bleeding, etc), the AASLD, NCCN, and EASL working groups have
adopted imaging criteria that predict cancer with an acceptable accuracy.
2. On contrast-enhanced images using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), the imaging characteristics of HCC are early arterial enhancement and venous
phase washout, which are related to the fact that these are hypervascular lesions supplied
predominantly by branches of the hepatic artery.
CP/18/C20
3. In the setting of chronic liver disease, lesions measuring larger than 1 cm that demonstrate
these imaging characteristics on triple-phase CT or contrast-enhanced MRI are classified as
HCC.
4. This is a change from previous guidelines, where lesions measuring between 1 cm and 2 cm
required characteristic enhancement on both imaging modalities (CT and MRI) to define HCC.
5. Criteria for the diagnosis of HCC have evolved over the past decade.
A. 12543 B. 21435 C. 41253 D. 51234
Directions for Questions 16 to 20: Read the given passages and identify the central theme of the
passage:
16. Confronting the threat of a Spinozisticnecessitarianism, Leibniz insists that not all possible
substances are compossible – that they can’t all be instantiated together – and thus that not all
possible worlds are compossible – that they can’t all be instantiated together. While it is easy to
appreciate Leibniz’s reasons for embracing this view, it has proven difficult to see how his
doctrine of incompossibility might be reconciled with the broader commitments of his larger
philosophical system. This essay develops, in four sections, a novel solution to the “puzzle of
incompossibility.” The first section frames the difficulty more carefully and briefly argues that
the two dominant strategies developed by Leibniz’s commentators fail to solve it fully insofar as
they require simply abandoning one or another of its motivating commitments. The second and
third sections show how Leibniz’s guiding analogy of a geometrical packing or tiling problem may
be applied to solve the puzzle of incompossibility in the context of finite and infinite worlds
composed of extended corporeal substances. Finally, the fourth section shows how the strategy
of Leibniz’s packing analogy might be applied even in the context of a thoroughly idealist
metaphysics in which the only true substances are non-extended, mind-like “monads.”. The
essay concludes by drawing some connections between Leibniz’s thinking about the puzzle of
incompossibility and the development of his views concerning the status of corporeal substances
and extended bodies.
A. Leibniz insists that not all possible substances are compossible – that they can’t all be
instantiated together – and thus that not all possible worlds are compossible – that they can’t
all be instantiated together.
B. The essay tells how Leibnitz has developed the solution to the problem of incompossibility.
C. While it is easy to appreciate Leibniz’s reasons for embracing this view, it has proven difficult
to see how his doctrine of incompossibility might be reconciled with the broader
commitments of his larger philosophical system.
D. The essay concludes by drawing some connections between Leibniz’s thinking about the
puzzle of incompossibility and the development of his views concerning the status of
corporeal substances and extended bodies.
17. Dark matter and dark energy have both been postulated by astrophysicists to fill a gap in the
fabric of the cosmos which is known as the puzzle of the missing mass. In doing so,
astrophysicists sought to bring the characteristics of the universe better in line with Einstein’s
Theory of Relativity, which predicts that the density of the universe is about 25 times greater
than has been heretofore observed. Only 4% of the universe is thought to be composed of
conventional matter and energy; about 22% is thought to be composed of dark matter and the
CP/18/C20
remaining 74% is thought to be dark energy. Dark matter does not interact with conventional
matter or energy by electromagnetic forces and thus its presence cannot be detected directly.
The presence of dark matter must be inferred through its indirect manifestations: anomalous
gravitational effects, the rotational velocity data of stars in spiral galaxies and the unusual
distribution of mass in a star system known as the Bullet Cluster. Although dark matter was
conclusively detected through its gravitational lensing effect in August 2006,many aspects of
dark matter remain speculative. It has been noted that the terms “dark matter” and “dark
energy”serve mainly as expressions of human ignorance, much like the marking of early maps
with “terra incognita”.
A. Dark matter and dark energy can be directly identified.
B. Astrophysicists are ignorant of many important details of the universe’s composition.
C. Although not well understood, dark matter and dark energy help reconcile theory with
observation.
D. Despite a recent observation, the existence of dark matter and dark energy is still debated in
the scientific community.
18. Violent resistance to British rule began when Indian military forces opposed the encroachments
of the British East India Company in the mid eighteenth century. In the end this resistance
proved unsuccessful. By 1818 the Company was in control of the greater part of the
subcontinent. But its control was not uncontested. Between 1770 and 1900, there were more
than a hundred instances of armed insurgency in various parts of India. The most significant of
these was of course the Great Rebellion – sometimes still known as the Sepoy Mutiny – of 1857-
8. It shook the foundations of the East India Company, but it also led to the replacement of
Company rule by that of the British crown.
A. The sepoy mutiny shook the very foundations of the British Raj in India.
B. A number of minor mutinies took place across the whole of India at various times but the
most important one was the Sepoy Mutiny.
C. By 1818 the East India Company was in complete control of India but it did not stay this way
for long.
D. The British Crown replaced the East India Company in 1857.
19. Across the expanse of modern poetry in Bengal falls the tall shadow of Rabindranath Tagore.
Rabindranath indeed could be said to have created the modern Bengali language, bridging its
stiffer Sanskritized literary precedents with popular parlance, fashioning a tongue noble, exalted
yet supple, sweet and finely nuanced. Sri Aurobindo pays tribute to Rabindranath’s literary
achievement in The Future Poetry, noting his ability to express spiritual truths poetically and
suggestively, embodying a world of psychic aspirations in his word-music. He points to the force
of rhythm, chhanda, as a powerful carrier of the mantric experience, and Rabindranath’s Bengali
poetry certainly intones its subtle and exalted wings of flight to the inner hearing.
A. Across the expanse of modern poetry in Bengal falls the tall shadow of Rabindranath Tagore.
B. Sri Aurobindo points to the force of rhythm, chhanda, as a powerful carrier of the mantric
experience.
C. Rabindranath’s Bengali poetry certainly intones its subtle and exalted wings of flight to the
inner hearing.
CP/18/C20
D. Tagore was the finest Bengali poet and Sri Aurobindo pays tribute to Tagore’s achievement in
The Future Poetry.
20. Occupy Wall Street is a people powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty
Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States
and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of
major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall
Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations.
The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Italy and the UK,
and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people who are writing the rules of the global
economy are imposing an agenda of neoliberalism and economic inequality that is foreclosing
our future.

CP/18/C20
Directions for Questions 36 to 40: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
If everyone thought the same, if everyone’s form was alike, if everyone had no distinctions, then life
would not be the same. Our thoughts and ideas differ, as we think in different levels, but even our ideas
have similarities. The foundations of our ideas are connected through the various uses of language. The
anecdotes as used by George Whitman and Jonathan Edwards, two writers of the eighteenth century,
differ abundantly in theme and explanation, but yet their anecdotes have similarities in regard to tone,
imagery, diction, poetic devices, and their reflections on human nature. However, the anecdotes that
are used by the two authors also at times are in sharp contrast to each other. Both Edwards’s and
Whitman’s anecdotes can be analyzed in the areas of tone, diction and syntax.
Anecdotes can be analyzed, as they are expressive of a mood or emotion. Tone is the style or manner of
expression in writing that gives the passage a general character, quality, trend or frame of mind. In
other words, the tone, itself, sets up a mood within the passage. Edwards centers himself on the main
topic of damnation. The tone he uses is one of rage, pity and demand, which makes the reader feel
downcast and unworthy of one’s self. Whitman’s tone is of hope. It channels through discovery,
exploration and opportunity. The idea that salvation is reachable is expressed in his tone. As in the
following: "And you O my soul where you stand, surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, till the bridge you need
be formed, till the ductile anchor hold, till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul."
Jonathan, however, preaches on nothing other than damnation. He can not relate to the idea that life
has significance. "He looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire." Whitman, on
the other hand, discusses how even a spider explores his surroundings. Though the spider’s
surroundings may seem miniature to the human eye, to a spider they are vast and full of new activity. In
this impression, Whitman illustrates the soul as a traveller and as an adventurer, who is given a mind to
muse and explore in an attempt to reach some point in life when he, too, will be able to connect and
awaken, realize and share with another what he has uncovered.
Diction regards correctness, clearness and effectiveness. Edwards presents his ideas in an abstract
manner, by comparing man to a spider. Whitman uses abstract language, as well, in which he speaks of
a spider and the universal soul. Both are connected, as the spider has a soul. Edwards uses
monosyllables, while Whitman uses polysyllables. Both Edwards and Whitman use connotations to
signify interesting connections from one unrelated concept to another. Edwards speaks of a God that
holds one over a pit of hell. He compares this to a man holding an insect, such as a spider, over fire.
36. Which of the following statements would the author NOT agree with?
A. Edwards uses a tone which alerts the reader to a character's evil and damned disposition.
B. Whitman portrays most of his literary characters are heroes or stereotypical adventurers who
continually strive to discover themselves and their world.
C. Diction regards correctness, clearness and effectiveness.
D. According to Jonathan, life has significance and is enhanced by means of introspection.
37. Whitman is quoted as writing the following fragment: "...seeking the spheres to connect them..."
How does this phrase relate to Whitman's ideology on salvation?
A. It is a direct use of diction to help relay Whitman's ideology.
CP/18/C20
B. The use of the metaphor reiterates the notion that life is an endless search and that the one's
goal is to find a path of purpose within the scope of everyday life.
C. The literary technique is an example of using monosyllables to arrive at the desired effect.
D. It is an example of an anecdote which helps to solidify Whitman's belief that diction is an
important literary technique.
38. The relationship between the first and second paragraphs can be described as which of the
following?
A. The first paragraph introduces how various elements of language can be leveraged to depict
emotional states and the second paragraph discusses how two authors utilize anecdotes
differently to help convey central philosophies.
B. The first paragraph introduces two authors, and the second discusses how their use of diction
is used to convey meaning.
C. The first paragraph discusses how anecdotes can be unique, and the second paragraph
focuses on Edward's fixation on damnation.
D. The first paragraph gives a brief overview of a belief system; the second paragraph provides
examples of two authors' use of anecdotes.
39. Which of the following statements would the author not agree with?
A.Anecdotes can be analyzed to give insight about mood and emotion.
B.Jonathan portrays his philosophies through the use of abstract comparisons.
C.Edwards focuses on the concept of starvation and ultimate self discovery.
D.Diction is used to portray a sense of correctness, clearness, and effectiveness.
40. The tone of the passage is

A. argumentative B. discursive C. forgiving D. narrative
