Comprehension: In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank. Any (1) ________that revolves around a planet is a satellite. Mother Earth has a natural satellite in the moon. The earth is circled by a lot of man-made or artificial satellites. In 1957, the Soviet Sputnik was the first to be (2) ________into space. There are currently a number of artificial satellites launched into space by various nations. These satellites make it possible for us to talk on the phone, watch television, predict the weather, map the various surfaces of the earth and learn more about the world in which we live. How does a satellite get started? It is typically launched into space by means of a rocket. After ascending into the thinner air layers above the earth, the satellite is released from the rocket. For a successful satellite launch, a rocket's speed is carefully calculated and controlled. Every object in space is pushed toward the earth's centre by gravity. The inertia of motion will propel the object into space if it has its own velocity of motion. When the orbital velocity is exactly right, these two opposing forces are balanced, causing the satellite to (3) ________ toward the earth while still hovering over its surface. A satellite is said to be in geo-stationary orbit when it completes one revolution around the earth in a 24-hour period; It doesn't change when compared to a point on the surface of the earth. These orbits are typically used by satellites for communication and weather. The camera on the weather satellites takes pictures and sends them back to Earth. These are helping aid in weather forecasting. Radio receivers and amplifiers on communication satellites can (4) ________ waves back at a frequency that is different from the one the satellite received. The beaming frequencies of satellites that are ‘parked’ too close to one another must not interfere with one another. Television signals can be transmitted from one location to other using broadcast satellites, and scientists can (5)________ scientific data from numerous satellites.#12Collocations and the Precise Word

Comprehension: In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank. In today's world, handling money and making purchases and sales come naturally to us. However, prior to the development of any kind of currency, people (1)________ in a variety of ways.

For example, if someone wanted a set of clothes and had a cow left over, he would have to find someone who would want a cow and be willing to give away a set of clothes. However, it wasn't as straightforward as 'give-and-take', and people would be cheated. The (3) ________ of money finally took root in people's minds after many years.

However, as time passed, the idea of carrying a bulky coin pouch became less (4)________ because it attracted robbers. Checks were first created at that time by Greek and Roman traders who purchased goods from distant cities. Because they could only be used by the person whose name was on them, these were not only lightweight but also deterred robberies. In accordance with this concept, banks later issued notes in exchange for (5)________ gold that could be used as cash.#17Collocations and the Precise Word

This line can only be used by you. It is always accessible to the boss-in-charge for his or her exclusive use. These exclusive lines are expensive, but they are useful in areas where daily transactions are extremely high.
