Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and choose the most appropriate option for the questions that follow.

A decade’s worth of telescope observations of the sun has revealed a startling mystery: Gamma rays, the highest frequency waves of light, radiate from our nearest star seven times more abundantly than expected. Stranger still, despite this extreme excess of gamma rays overall, the narrow bandwidth of frequencies is curiously absent.

The surplus light, the gap in the spectrum, and other surprises about the solar gamma-ray signal potentially point to unknown features of the sun’s magnetic field, or more exotic physics. “It’s amazing that we were so spectacularly wrong about something we should understand really well: the sun,” said Brian Fields, a particle astrophysicist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

The unexpected signal has emerged in data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a NASA observatory that scans the sky from its outpost in low-Earth orbit. As more Fermi data have accrued, revealing the spectrum of gamma rays coming from the sun in ever-greater detail, the puzzles have only proliferated.

Not only is the gamma-ray signal far stronger than a decades-old theory predicts; it also extends to much higher frequencies than predicted, and it inexplicably varies across the face of the sun and throughout the 11-year solar cycle. Then there’s the gap, which researchers call a “dip” - a lack of gamma rays with frequencies around 10 trillion hertz.
According to the passage, which of the following facts does the surplus light and the gap in the spectrum throw light on? Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and choose the most appropriate option for the questions that follow.

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate option.

For most of my adult life, I read maybe five books a year. Then, one year, I surprised myself by reading 50 books. This year I am on pace for 100. I have never felt more creatively alive in all areas of my life. I feel more interesting, I feel like a better father, and my writing output has dramatically increased. The changes that increased my reading rate had nothing to do with how fast I read; I am actually a slow reader.

Here is my advice for fitting more reading into life: centralise reading in your home. The author compares having a TV in the main living area to having a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Many attractive TV shows tempt people and reduce their willpower to read books. Last year, the author and his wife moved their only TV into their dark, unfinished basement and installed a bookshelf on the wall beside their front door. The TV remains unused unless the Toronto Blue Jays are in the playoffs or Netflix releases a new season of House of Cards.
