The majority of the Antarctic continent is covered by permanent ice and snow leaving less than 1% available for colonisation by plants. Most of this ice and snow-free lands are found along the Antarctic Peninsula, its associated islands and in coastal regions around the edge of the Antarctic continent. Even in the most inhospitable ice-free habitats, such as inland mountains and nunataks, life can still be found. There are no trees or shrubs, and only two species of flowering plants are found: Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort. The vegetation is predominantly made up of lower plant groups (mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi) that are specially adapted to surviving in extreme environments – in particular tolerating low temperatures and dehydration. There are around 100 species of mosses, 25 species of liverworts, 300 to 400 species of lichens and 20 species of macro-fungi. The greatest diversity of species is found along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula where the climate is generally warmer and wetter than elsewhere in the Antarctic continent. 

Statement:
Antarctic continent is completely covered by permanent ice leaving no space for vegetation.

Choose the appropriate one from the following options. 

A- The statement is definitely true. 

B- The statement is probably true.

C-The statement cannot be determined. 

D-The statement is definitely false. 

In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. 

A woman in Brazil who received a womb transplanted from a deceased donor has given birth to a baby girl in the first successful case of its kind, doctors reported. It comes after 10 previously known cases of uterus transplants from deceased donors - in the United States, the Czech Republic and Turkey - failed to produce a live birth. 

"The numbers of people willing and committed to donate organs upon their own deaths are far larger than those of live donors, offering a much wider potential donor population," Ejzenberg said in a statement about the results. She added, however, that the outcomes and effects of womb donations from live and deceased donors have yet to be compared, and said the technique could still be refined and optimised. 

Statement: 

A few countries tried this method of uterus transplants from deceased donors but none was successful in producing a live birth before Brazil. 

Choose the appropriate one from the following options

A -The statement is definitely true

B -The statement is probably true

C -The statement is cannot be determined

D -The statement is definitely false

In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.

When Shah Jahan eternalised his love for Mumtaz, he must have believed that the river would be flowing forever. There was no solid ground on which the foundation could be built. So they used a well foundation, an engineering practice using deep wells to lower the water table and filling them with rocks and mortar. Finally they were capped with wooden, boxlike structures on which the mausoleum was constructed.

The Yamuna is an integral part of the Taj's design and there was no anticipation that it would dry or become narrow. But the river has narrowed and it is polluted. The wooden foundations are likely to become brittle and might disintegrate because, as Venice, built on a wooden foundation, shows, longevity of wood increases when it is submerged in water. When the wood is not exposed to oxygen there are no microorganisms to promote decay. A dry Yamuna could promote disintegration of the wooden foundations, the corrosive effect of the polluted water adding to the decay.

Statement:
Taj Mahal was built on a strong solid ground on the bank of river Yamuna.

Choose the appropriate one from the following options
A -The statement is definitely true
B-The statement is probably true
C-The statement is cannot be determined
D-The statement is definitely false

Using knives and shears, a pair of Russian spacewalkers on Tuesday cut samples of material around a mysterious hole in a Soyuz spacecraft docked on International Space Station that a Moscow official suggested could have been deliberately sabotaged. The 2 mm cavity on the Soyuz spaceship docked to ISS caused an air leak detected in August, two months after the craft's last voyage. Roscosmos space agency said the aim was to discover whether the small but dangerous hole had been made on Earth or in space, to cut away the insulation covering the hole, take out a sample of the material around it to analyze, and put new insulation over the area. Roscosmos chief stated that an investigation had ruled out a manufacturing error.
The veteran cosmonauts struggled but eventually succeeded in their mission. Before this spacewalk, astronauts had only been able to examine the hole from inside the spacecraft. What made it especially hard is that the Soyuz spacecraft, unlike the ISS, was not designed to be repaired in spacewalks and has no outside railings for astronauts to hold onto.
Statement:
The Soyuz spacecraft was designed to be repaired in spacewalks.

A - The statement is definitely true
