Q76. Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.

A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and hundreds of tropical fish out of the AquaDom tourist attraction in the heart of the German capital early Friday. The website of the AquaDom described it as the biggest cylindrical tank in the world at 25 meters tall (82 feet tall).
Police said parts of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, were damaged as 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6 am. Berlin's fire service said two people were slightly injured.
Mayor Franziska Giffey said the tank had unleashed a "veritable tsunami" of water but the early morning timing had prevented far more injuries.
"Despite all the destruction, we were still very lucky," she said. "We would have had terrible human damage" had the aquarium burst even an hour later, once more people were awake and in the hotel and the surrounding area, she said.
There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight caused a crack in the acrylic glass tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said they found no evidence of a malicious act.
Nearly all of the 1,500 fish that were inside at the time of the rupture died, the Berlin Mitte district government confirmed via Twitter, adding "a few fish at the bottom of the tank" could still be saved. Among the 80 types of fish it housed were blue tang and clownfish, two colorful species known from the popular animated movie "Finding Nemo."
Veterinarians, fire service officers and other officials spent the afternoon working to rescue 400 to 500 smaller fish from a separate set of aquariums housed under the hotel lobby. Without electricity, their tanks were not receiving the necessary oxygen for them to survive, officials said. They were evacuated to other tanks in the neighboring Sea Life aquarium that were unaffected. Various organizations, including the Berlin Zoo, offered to take in the surviving fish.
Hours after the incident, trucks began clearing away the debris that had spilled out onto the street in front of the hotel. Brightly colored Lindt chocolate wrappers were scattered in front of the building where the chocolate shop was damaged. A small crowd of tourists and onlookers snapped photos from behind the police line across the street.
The aquarium, which was last modernized in 2020, is a major tourist magnet in Berlin. The 10-minute elevator ride through the tropical tank was one of the highlights of the attraction.
Where were the surviving fish from other affected aquariums in the hotel shifted to?

1. To the Lindt Chocolate store 2. To the Sea Life Aquarium 3. To the hotel lobby 4. To the Berlin zoo

Q80. Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.

A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and hundreds of tropical fish out of the AquaDom tourist attraction in the heart of the German capital early Friday. The website of the AquaDom described it as the biggest cylindrical tank in the world at 25 meters tall (82 feet tall).
Police said parts of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, were damaged as 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6 am. Berlin's fire service said two people were slightly injured.
Mayor Franziska Giffey said the tank had unleashed a "veritable tsunami" of water but the early morning timing had prevented far more injuries.
"Despite all the destruction, we were still very lucky," she said. "We would have had terrible human damage" had the aquarium burst even an hour later, once more people were awake and in the hotel and the surrounding area, she said.
There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight caused a crack in the acrylic glass tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said they found no evidence of a malicious act.
Nearly all of the 1,500 fish that were inside at the time of the rupture died, the Berlin Mitte district government confirmed via Twitter, adding "a few fish at the bottom of the tank" could still be saved. Among the 80 types of fish it housed were blue tang and clownfish, two colorful species known from the popular animated movie "Finding Nemo."
Veterinarians, fire service officers and other officials spent the afternoon working to rescue 400 to 500 smaller fish from a separate set of aquariums housed under the hotel lobby. Without electricity, their tanks were not receiving the necessary oxygen for them to survive, officials said. They were evacuated to other tanks in the neighboring Sea Life aquarium that were unaffected. Various organizations, including the Berlin Zoo, offered to take in the surviving fish.
Hours after the incident, trucks began clearing away the debris that had spilled out onto the street in front of the hotel. Brightly colored Lindt chocolate wrappers were scattered in front of the building where the chocolate shop was damaged. A small crowd of tourists and onlookers snapped photos from behind the police line across the street.
The aquarium, which was last modernized in 2020, is a major tourist magnet in Berlin. The 10-minute elevator ride through the tropical tank was one of the highlights of the attraction.
Read the two given statements:
A. A big human tragedy was averted.
B. The incident happened in the early hours of the day.

Now select the correct option about these statements.

1. Both A and B are true but B is not the correct reason for A. 2. A is true and B is false. 3. Both A and B are true and B is the correct reason for A. 4. A is false and B is true.

गाँधीजी के भारतीय राजनीति में प्रवेश के काफी पहले प्रेमचंद ने देश की राजनीतिक एवं सामाजिक परिस्थितियों को समझ लिया था और अपनी कहानियों के माध्यम से अपने विचारों और संवेदनाओं को वाणी देना आरम्भ कर दिया था। औपनिवेशिक ताक़त की पूरी कोशिश थी कि जनशक्ति अस्तित्त्व में न आए। अकेले प्रेमचंद उस शक्ति से लड़ने का प्रयास कर रहे थे, जिसके क्षेत्र में सूरज नहीं डूबता था। ज़रूरी था कि प्रेमचंद इसके लिए छापामार लड़ाई का रास्ता अपनाते। इसके लिए उन्होंने ऐसी कहानियाँ लिखीं, जिनमें जनशक्ति को प्रबुद्ध करने, अपनी शक्ति और उसकी सम्भावनाओं के प्रति आस्वस्ति की चेतना जगाने का भाव था। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने ऐसी कहानियाँ भी लिखीं, जिनमें जातिगत, सम्प्रदायगत और आर्थिक भेदभाव से मुक्त तथा श्रेष्ठ नैतिक चेतना से सम्पन्न राष्ट्रीय बोध पैदा हो। 'आहे बेकस' (1911) में तत्कालीन ग्रामीण रईसवर्ग के आर्थिक, नैतिक और चारित्रिक खोखलेपन का बेहद व्यंग्यपूर्ण अंकन हुआ है। इसके साथ ही यह कहानी अत्याचारी के खिलाफ सत्याग्रह और सविनय अवज्ञा का ऐसा उदाहरण प्रस्तुत करती है जिसका उपयोग बाद में गाँधीजी ने औपनिवेशिक शासन के विरोध में किया। 1911 से 1914 की अवधि में प्रकाशित 'राजा हरदौल', 'आल्हा', 'राजहठ', 'अनाथ शिकारी' आदि कहानियाँ प्रत्यक्षत: राजपूतों, बुंदेलों, सिखों आदि की वीरता, बलिदान, स्वाभिमान, स्वामिभक्ति, हठधर्मिता आदि का चित्रण करती हैं, पर वास्तव में वे जन-मानस में उन भावनाओं को जागृत करना चाहती हैं, जो देश को औपनिवेशिक ग़ुलामी से मुक्त करने के लिए जरूरी था। वे समझते थे कि देश को औपनिवेशिक गुलामी से तभी मुक्ति मिल सकती है, जब पूरा देश सामाजिक दृष्टि से, लिंग-भेद, धर्म-भेद से , जाति-भेद, आदि के अंतर्विरोधों से मुक्त हो।
