Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 7.

Option 1: between

Option 2: among

Option 3: across

Option 4: from

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: between


Solution : The correct choice will be the first option.

The sentence structure suggests that the missing word should be a preposition that indicates the time frame within which the messages were written. Between is the most suitable option in this context, indicating the time between the years 1880 and 1881 when Joachim Martin wrote the messages.

Therefore, the completed sentence would read: "Messages were written between 1880 and 1881 by Joachim Martin; the carpenter."

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the question of where and when the Black Death, the deadliest pandemic ever, originated is one of the biggest mysteries in human history. After all, the Black Death was the first wave of the second plague pandemic of the 14th to early 19th centuries. It killed some 50–60% of the population in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, and an unaccountable number of people in Central Asia. Different proposals, based on competing theories, have been put forward. But in 2017, I came across some records describing an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, which I suspected may hold the key. As part of a multidisciplinary team co-led by Maria Spyrou at the University of Tubingen, we have now investigated several specimens from individuals buried at that site and come up with an answer. The idea that the Black Death originated in the east—territories overlapping, roughly speaking, Central Asia, Mongolia, and China—dates back to the contemporaries of the pandemic in Europe and the Islamic world. The modern, academic Chinese origin theory dates back at least to 1756–8, and a publication about the history of Central Asia by French scholar Joseph de Guignes.


Which of the following may be the probable origin of the Black Death, according to the passage?

Option 1: Kyrgyzstan

Option 2: India

Option 3: Mongolia

Option 4: China

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Kyrgyzstan


Solution : The first option is correct.

The probable origin of the Black Death, according to the passage, is Kyrgyzstan. The passage mentions the discovery of an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, in 2017. The speaker suspected that this site may hold the key to the origin of the Black Death. The subsequent investigation of specimens from individuals buried at that site led to the conclusion discussed in the passage.

Therefore, the correct answer is Kyrgyzstan.
