38 Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.In mid-2012 I completed my first massive online open course or MOOC the kind widely offered by Coursera EdX Udacity and so on in partnership with different educational institutions. It was on clinical trials and ethical practices offered by Johns Hopkins on Coursera. This was shortly before the MOOC sensation hit India and when Coursera which was founded by two Stanford professors itself was just a few months old. The MOOC bug had bit me. The course I d completed was mainly designed for health care professionals who would be involved in actual clinical trials not college students who had no prior knowledge of that area. I decided to enroll in the course because it was the only biology related course open at the time. However I did see hope in that sometime in the future I d be able to get a glimpse of what classes are like in the hallowed halls of major educational institutions around the world. By early 2013 Coursera and EdX had partnered with so many educational institutions and expanded their course offerings to include everything from food and nutrition to Greek mythology to business that I was spoilt for choice. I spent hours going through course catalogues and poring over course descriptions almost delirious with excitement at the fact that I was actually going to be able to take classes offered by universities I had only dreamt of attending.Which of the following is the name of a university and not an online education delivery company?

A Coursera B Johns Hopkins C EdX D Udacity

40 Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.Manja or the glass-coated string used for flying kites not only poses threat to humans animals and birds but also to trees. A study by the country s oldest botanical garden has revealed that it poses a great threat to trees. But how can a snapped string struck in a tree kill the tree? Apparently it does so by allying with the creepers in the garden.A research paper by three scientists of the Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden located in West Bengal s Howrah district illustrates in detail how the manja in collusion with climbers does the damage. The abandoned torn kite strings act as an excellent primary supporting platform for the tender climbers giving easy passage to reach the top of the trees. Lateral branches from the top of the climber and other accessory branches from the ground reaches the top taking support of the first climber completely covers the treetop thus inhibiting the penetration of sunlight says the research paper.What would be the acronym for India s oldest botanical garden?
