...Answers 1. a) The passages says that, idealism is the epistemological doctrine that nothing can be directly known outside of the minds of thinking beings, which does not mean that nothing at all can be known outside the mind. 2. d) The passage says that, Hegel asserts that the twin aims of philosophy are to account for the contradictions apparent in human experience and also simultaneously to resolve and preserve these contradictions by showing their compatibility at a higher level of examination. 3. d) The topic idealism falls under the branch of philosophy and it is also a theory. 4. d) Hegel admitted that his ideas were not new to that of the existing ones and that he merely felt he needed to complete them. Explanation for questions 5 to 7: Correct Answer: ABA ‘Since’ indicates a consequence. Since they failed to conquer (subjugate) the tribes, they built a wall to keep out, or ‘exclude’ the tribes. The question at the end suggests that this attempt was misguided (or overoptimistic’) as no wall can ‘deter’ the determined. The word ‘deter’ is also better than the other options as the wall was to exclude the natives not to conquer or limit them. Explanation for Questions 8 to 10: Correct Answer: BDD. You need to know that ‘bantering’ means ‘playful’. So, although the talk seemed playful, it actually masked bad feeling. Here we have a ‘good word’ followed by ‘bad word’ situation. Hence we choose ‘amicable’ for the good word, and ‘antagonism’ for the bad. The first...

...leaves us with options (b) and (d). Here the difference is in the order of statements D & E. (D-E) would be the correct order as statement D introduces the event while statement E begins the description of the events that followed. Statement E also matches the tone of statement C. The paragraph has a mandatory pair (D-B) as B carries further the idea of opening of the cages, which gets introduced in D. (C-A) is another mandatory pair. Statement C compares India’s performance on social indicators with that of Asian economies. Statement A further compares India’s performance with that of poor African countries. Only options (c) and (d) have both mandatory pairs. Option (d) gets negated as the paragraph must start with C, which introduces the para. Option (c) aligns all the statements of the paragraph thereby making it coherent. Statement C clearly emerges as an introductory sentence “an episode regarding the….”. (A-E) is a mandatory pair as in statement E Akbar gives reasons to refute Hakim Ali’s argument. The only possible answer choice is (b). 6. c Option (a) clearly refers to the opening of the story which is gruesome yet comical. Option (b) is correct as the author creats humour inspite of Brr not knowing language for very long. Refer to lines “The author isn’t about to let inexperience get in the way of a few good puns or a little witty banter” Option (c) is not a part of the story. Refer to lines “Poor Brr is not as likeable ...” Option (d) can be inferred from the lines...

...The Effect of Classical Music on the Reading Comprehension of Iranian Students Nasser Rashidi Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Email: Nrashidi@rose.shirazu.ac.ir Farman Faham Shiraz University, Iran Abstract—The influence of music on language learning and performance has been the subject of study for many years. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of classical music (Mozart Sonata) on the reading comprehension performance of two groups of Iranian students in an English institute in Iran. To this end, the study compared two groups of Iranian English students (N=60) over a period of three months: one was taught reading comprehension with a music background and the other with no music background whatsoever. The results of the study showed a significant difference between the performance of the group exposed to music and the performance of the other group not exposed to music. The group taught reading comprehension with a music background outperformed the other taught it with no music background. Index Terms—reading comprehension, music, background music, classical music, Mozart sonata I. INTRODUCTION The use of music as a tool by language teachers to teach foreign languages has been the center of attention to researchers for many years. That is why in the literature we can see different, but mostly positive comments concerning the effectiveness of music in language learning and performance. It has been stated that music can contribute to...

Originally moved by the exclusion of his fellow pastors after the early Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service was passed, Bonhoeffer’s compassion began to turn to radical opposition of the Nazi regime. For the next decade, Bonhoeffer committed himself to the radical resistance of National Socialism and encouraged...

...????????? What is conflict? Is it a miscommunication between two parties? Is it a clash of interests? Is it a need for revenge? To a literary person, conflict is what gives a piece of writing depth and makes it something to remember. In fact, it is the very concept that makes Hamlet stand out from other pieces of literature. The intense struggle between the two main characters make it one of Shakespeare’s most well-known pieces of writing. From beginning to end, two characters have the power to create, mould and exemplify countless themes throughout Hamlet. The fierce conflict between Claudius and Hamlet is essential to develop the action and inaction, revenge, the impossibility of certainty and appearance vs. reality themes. The contrast between action and inaction is emphasized between Claudius and Hamlet due to the conflict between these two characters. To begin, Claudius sends Hamlet to an almost certain death immediately after he suspects Hamlet’s knowledge of his father’s murder. Quickly, he confides in Rosencratz and Guildenstern that, “[Claudius likes Hamlet] not, nor stands it safe with [everyone] / [t]o let his madness range” (III.iii.1-2), and demands, “therefore prepare you. I your commission will forthwith dispatch / [a]nd he to England shall along with you” (III.iii.3-4). It seems Claudius proceeds impulsively, however his calculated and rapid actions are the key to the development of the theme of action. Claudius smoothly uses “[Hamlet’s] madness”...

Read the passage carefully and chose the best answer to each question. The questions are to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. 1. But man is not destined to vanish. He can be killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless and his spirit is irrepressible. Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the superpowers, the silver lining is provided by amazing phenomenon that the very nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink. 2. 1. The main point from the author's view is that A. Man's soul and spirit can not be destroyed by superpowers. B. Man's destiny is not fully clear or visible. C. Man's soul and spirit are immortal. D.

...FLEXIBLY DIVIDED DOUBLE LUMEN ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE Viren Sunil Kalsekar, Joy Lee, Jenny Qiu, Nicholas Ragosta, Javier Ramos, David Taylor Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA, USA ABSTRACT Endotracheal tubes (ETT), are used to maintain patient airway access during surgical procedures. The design presented here addresses a current need of the gold standard ETT by allowing for the passage of a larger bronchoscope through the inner lumen of the ETT while keeping outer dimensions constant. This design incorporates a flexible membrane with a wavy geometry to ensure a return to the neutral axis, thus allowing for even ventilation of both lungs. Flow tests simulating surgical ventilation conditions were conducted. These results confirmed that adequate air flow could be obtained independent of any pressure differences across the membrane. Tests of the prototype also confirmed that maximum instrumentation diameter was increased through this design when compared to a commercially available ETT with identical outer dimensions (35 Fr). Finite element analysis was conducted to determine the necessary thickness of the membrane for a safe design. One key design feature of the membrane is that its state of maximum deflection (2.1mm) does not significantly hinder airflow through the smaller lumen. Tests to further evaluate the functional requirements of safety and ease of use are currently under way. Methods of manufacturing this design are also under investigation. Keywords:...
