“People very often complain that poverty is a great evil and that it is not possible to be happy unless one has a lot of money. Actually, this is not necessarily true. Even a poor man, living in a small hut with none of the comforts and luxuries of life, may be quite contented with his lot and achieve a measure of happiness.

Apart from this, he may have a lot of business worries which keep him on tenterhooks most of the time. There is a limit to what money can buy and there are many things, which are necessary for a man’s happiness and which money cannot procure.

In the following questions, you have a brief passage with 5 questions. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
The problem of water pollution by pesticides can be understood only in context, as part of the whole to which it belongs – the pollution of the total environment of mankind. The pollution entering our waterways comes from many sources, radioactive wastes from reactors, laboratories, and hospitals; fallout from nuclear explosions; domestic wastes from cities and towns; chemical wastes from factories. To these is added a new kid of fallout – the chemical sprays applied to crop lands and gardens, forests and fields. Many of the chemical agents in this alarming melange initiate and augment the harmful effects of radiation, and within the groups of chemicals themselves there are sinister and little – understood interactions, transformations, and summations of effect.
Ever since the chemists began to manufacture substances that nature never invented, the problem of water purification have become complex and the danger to users of water has increased. As we have seen, the production of these synthetic chemicals in large volume began in the 1940’s. It has now reached such proportion that an appalling deluge of chemical pollution is daily poured into the nation’s waterways. When inextricably mixed with domestic and other wastes discharged into the same water, these chemicals sometimes defy detection by the methods in ordinary use by purification plants. Most of them are so complex that they cannot be identified. In rivers, a really incredible variety of pollutants combine to produce deposits that sanitary engineers can only despairingly refer to as “gunk”.
96. All the following words mean ‘chemicals’ except
A. Sands
B. Substances
C. Pesticides
D. Deposits
97. The main argument of paragraph 1 is:
A. that there are sinister interaction in the use of chemicals
B. that there are numerous reasons for contamination of water supplies
C. that there are many dangers from nuclear fallout
D. that pesticides are dangerous
98. The word ‘gunk’ in the last line refers :
A. to the waste products deposited by sanitary engineers
B. to the debris found in rivers
C. to unidentifiable chemicals found in water
D. to the domestic water supplies
99. Water pollution can only be understood
A. in relation to world contamination
B. by the whole human race
C. in co text
D. in relation to the number of pesticides that exist
100. Water contamination has become serious.
A. since water pollution was difficult to assess
B. since nature has taken a hand in pollution
C. since chemists began to use new substances
D. since businessmen authorised the use of chemicals.
