Answer: Option D. -> presenting the diagnosis and suggesting means for protection.
:
D
Option (a) is too vague. It does not provide the answer clearly. The author refers to paranoia as a mental aberration only in the acute case; hence this will not be applicable in general. There is no experiment being conducted. Option (b) is ruled out. Option (c) is out of scope. Option (d) captures the author’s argument perfectly.

Answer: Option A. -> Romances came into being only after the decline of the cantares.
:
A
According to the author, the cantares were in a period of “final decadence” at the time the romances were born, so it is unlikely that they came from the same raw material. Choice B is incorrect; the subject matter of romances was not the lives of everyday people. In the 2nd paragraph, the cantares are described as “usually complex,” whereas in the later part of the same paragraph, the romances are characterized as written in “simple and direct” language, making choice C also a bad choice. Since the subject matter of romances often derives from the epics, choice D is also incorrect.

Answer: Option D. -> there are few services and little available water
:
D
Option (D)
The adjective little modifies "mass nouns" (e.g., water), which refer to some undifferentiated quantity; the adjective few modifies "count nouns" (e.g., services), which refer to groups made up of distinct members that can be considered individually. Hence, choices A, B, and C are incorrect because little cannot properly modify services. Also, since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb; thus, the singular verbs exists (in A and B) and is (in C) are wrong.
Choice D is best: the plural verb are is used, and few correctly modifies services.

Answer: Option A. -> discuss paranoia as a neurosis and propose that prevention is the better part of valour.
:
A
The main theme of the passage is presenting paranoia as a neurosis and explaining how the best way to cure paranoia depends on how we handle the situation. Otherwise it is almost impossible to treat. This can be obtained from the lines “Psychologists such as Dr. Karen Horney firmly believe that by the time the disease is severe, the course of getting out of the paranoid situation is lost forever. Hence, a clear and rational handling of the situation is required in the pre-paranoid situation. How the victims handle the situation is the best defense against paranoia.” This idea is best represented only in option (a). Option (b) does not cover the main theme of the passage satisfactorily. Symptoms form only a part of the passage but the main purpose is as stated above. There is no idea given in the passage for the readers to draw their own conclusion. Option (c) is irrelevant. There is no research angle being given in the passage. Option (d) is ruled out. Hence option (a) is the correct answer.

Answer: Option D. -> Consumer, Human, Fallen
:
D
Demolished and awoken are not the right words to be associated with Interface.
SoOptions (b ) and (c) are wrong.
So it is a close Call between (a) and (d)
Let us look at the last two blanks for both the options
a) the last visible interface, that of salesman and buyer, has finally risen worldwide.
d) the last human interface, that of salesman and buyer, has finally fallen worldwide.
In option a) the word finally is not justified. Why would you say the visible interface has risen finally. We can say the invisible interface has risen finally.
So the answer is (d) .

Answer: Option D. -> The belief that neglect and megalomania cause paranoia.
:
D
The answer to this question can be got from the lines “Those that have been repeatedly mistreated and abandoned become the victims of paranoia” and “To be great without being celebrated is to be discriminated against and this creates a situation of being a paranoid” from the second paragraph. We can understand that people who have been neglected or think too much of themselves without acknowledgment from others suffer from paranoia. This is best reflected in option (d). Option (a) is not mentioned in the passage. There is no discrimination against the weak. Option (b) is irrelevant here. Option (c) is mentioned in the passage but it does not answer the question asked. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.

Answer: Option D. -> The pervasiveness of contemporary commercial art has led art historians to undervalue representational skills.
:
D
Look at these lines in the first paragraph -
“The very reason why the representation of nature can now be considered something commonplace should be of the greatest interest to art historians. Never before has there been an age when the visual image was so cheap in every sense of the word. We are surrounded and assailed by posters and advertisements, comics and magazine illustrations. We see aspects of reality represented on television, postage stamps, and food packages”.
The word ‘cheap’ in the third line means that contemporary commercial art such as advertisements, comics etc are undervalued by art historians.
So (D) option is the correct one.

Answer: Option D. -> baggage yet was so light
:
D
Option (D) states that although the canoe could transport cargo of considerable weight, it was light: a canoe . . . which could carry . . . yet was . . . light.... Here, the conjunction yet is appropriately and correctly used to link two verb phrases. Choice does not use yet with a verb parallel to could carry and thus fail to express this contrast. Furthermore, both place adjectival constructions after baggage, illogically stating that the eight hundred pounds of baggage, rather than the canoe, was light. Choice B supplies yet but ungrammatically uses the participle being where was is required. Similarly, C omits the necessary verb after and; and here again, the use of and rather than yet fails to express the contrast.

Question 230. A) The probability for a Domestic war is also increased by bureaucratic change, regardless whether toward greater democracy or greater autocracy.
B) There is also evidence that democracies have less internal systematic violence.
C) Most of the article discusses research on relations between states.
D) In the long run, since intermediate regimes are less stable than autocracies, which in turn are less stable than democracies, durable democracy is the most probable end-point of the process of democratization.
E) Intermediate regimes continue to be the most prone to Domestic war, regardless of the time since the bureaucratic change.
___
B) There is also evidence that democracies have less internal systematic violence.
C) Most of the article discusses research on relations between states.
D) In the long run, since intermediate regimes are less stable than autocracies, which in turn are less stable than democracies, durable democracy is the most probable end-point of the process of democratization.
E) Intermediate regimes continue to be the most prone to Domestic war, regardless of the time since the bureaucratic change.
___
:
The statements in this paragraph are not directly related.
C should be the opening sentence since it captions what is to follow. CB is clearly a link since B supports C.
D seems like the most likely of all sentences to end this paragraph as it begins with 'in the long run' and concludes the points discussed in the paragraph.
Also, there is a subtle link between the sentences A-E-D. A talks about Domestic wars being spurred by bureaucratic changes, E talks about intermediate regimes being prone to Domestic war regardless of the time since these bureaucratic changes and D concludes by talking about the hierarchy of instability among bureaucratic regimes.
Hence,the correct answeris CBAED.
