| 1 | Question1 Read the passage and answer the four questions that follow :- CUET UG (English) - 20 May 2025 Shift 1 And he couldn't honk to get the attention of drivers on the highway. In the 19years that he'd owned his van, the horn had never worked. On the plus side, he was dry, at least for the most part. It was cold in the van, but he had an extra fleece-ironically, emblazoned with 'Live the adventure, live the dream." To sustain himself, he had scattered roasted veggies, the bread which was now inedible, but he had a bag of mini chocolate bars. To drink he had one water bottle. He apportioned out his stash and switched on his hazard lights, hoping someone would spot him from the highway above. It was a false hope. He didn't realize that his off road descent had ripped the wires off the van's undercarriage. Michael didn't have much hope of being rescued by the passers-by because of ____. 1. the rugged terrain 2. the high foliage which obstructed the view 3. the injuries that he had sustained 4. the angle of the vehicle Options: A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 Answer: B | Correct Option: B Correct Answer: B |

He'd have to rely on being rescued. But that wouldn't be easy. Michael could hear cars whizzing past on the road above, but even if passersby happened to glimpse his vehicle amid the shoulder-high brush, apparently abandoned, they wouldn't be able to see anyone inside. He had no cellphones-Michael had never seen the point of getting one. No one knew he'd had taken an unplanned drive out of Victoria, so they'd have no reason to look for him here.

| 5 | Question5 Read the following passage and answer the four questions that follow :- The INTERNET is flooded with wisdom on nutrition, be it weight-loss diets, intermittent fasting, veganism, giving up carbohydrates or taking supplements. The truth is, it is difficult to find a balanced meal that works for you from the information swirling around you. That's why the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), under the aegis of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), has released a comprehensive guideline on how Indians should be eating clean with easily accessible resources and, most importantly, what suits their body type. Complete with an ideal plate, diet charts, recipes and advisories on how you should be cooking and in what cookware, this is an essential handbook that all of us would find convenient to incorporate into our daily lives. Given India's growing burden of non- communicable diseases, these guidelines are significant as they lay down the template of foundational nutrition in children, beginning with pregnant women. The report says that proper nutrition for a mother and child is linked not only to proper growth and development but also to the risk of diabetes, hypertension and heart attack later in life. Over 56 percent of all non-communicable diseases can be attributed to an unhealthy diet. As the reports show, a healthy diet can prevent 80 percent of type 2 diabetes and significantly reduce the burden of heart disease, high blood pressure and prevent premature deaths. It has even warned against taking supplements for building body mass and recommended restricting salt intake, minimizing sugar and ultra-processed foods and reading information on food labels correctly. The guidelines on how Indians should eat were released because:- 1. NIN was flooded with requests from people for some guidelines. 2. It was becoming difficult to find a balanced meal from the information available. 3. ICMR pressured NIN to release the guidelines on what people should eat. 4. ICMR wanted to take over the responsibility for the health of an average Indian. Options: A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 Answer: B | Correct Option: B Correct Answer: B |
