not wish to cast aspersions on the corporate takeover. On the contrary, it is a
key facilitator of creative destruction and doubtless the most effective
remaining means by which shareholder voices can mold a corporation. But while
change in management is often necessary, you cannot effectively run a
corporation with differing authoritative i voices espousing opposing corporate
goals. It has to be one or the other. If the board s riven with conflicting
interests, corporate governance will suffer. If directors cannot agree with the
CEO's strategy, they should replace him. Corporate dissonance, of course, is
unavoidable in periods of transition. But it is not a value to be pursued for
its own sake. A cacophony produces only red ink.
What according to the author makes corporate governance suffer?

Solution
The entire paragraph explains how air pollution → inflammation → endothelial dysfunction → atherogenesis (leading cardiovascular disease).
Which of the following is true?
i) Exposure to air pollution may result in increase in TF and decrease in TM
ii) Effect of air pollution is severe on humans and occurs after adolescence
iii) Endothelial cells are sensitive target for air pollutants

Solution
(i) TRUE – paragraph clearly says TF↑ and TM↓
(ii) FALSE – paragraph says effect is seen in young adults, children, adolescents
(iii) TRUE – passage states endothelial cells are sensitive targets
Correct pair = (i) and (iii)
The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists for
more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighted in some cases as much as a
piloted hang glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters. Solved the problems of powered flight,
and exactly what these creatures were reptiles or birds are among the questions scientists have
puzzled over.
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their
skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not
evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb
supported a wing like membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws. In
birds the second fingure is the principle strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the
pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only turn
upward in an extended inverted V-shape along side of the animal‟s body.
The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions. This is not
surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both
the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a saving in weight. In the
birds, however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal struts.
According to the passage the skeleton of pterosaurs can be distinguished from that of a bird by the:

The passage explains that in pterosaurs the wing is supported by an elongated fourth finger, while in birds the wing strut is different and consists primarily of feathers.
