Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

This year, I celebrated twenty-five years with a Seeing Eye dog. When I came to "The Seeing Eye' in 1983, I had no idea how much my canine partner would do for me. I can well remember walking down a country road independently, with a light step and joy in my heart, knowing that Novel- my first Seeing Eye dog- would keep me safe.

Since that glorious beginning, my dogs have seen me through two university degrees while living in four different cities in Canada and the United States. These competent and loving guides have shown me amazing skills - keeping me safe from traffic, fallen trees, new places and a host of unseen dangers. I have acquired self-confidence and a faith that anything is possible with my dog at my side. Over the years, my dogs have always been a source of pride and pleasure for me, and I brag about them to my family and friends.

Today, the way young Rambo manoeuvres me through the rush-hour traffic is wonderful. But it is all those little things like finding a table at a restaurant, finding empty cubicles at the physical therapy clinic where I work, that can mean so much more. Rambo is my sixth guide who arrived in June 2008 after Ruskin left me. He has already established himself in my heart. He is guiding me through another chapter in my life. I wish to thank all my friends at 'The Seeing Eye' for the support they have offered me over the years. I also thank them for being like family, most importantly, being there to train these furry soul-mates so well!

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Chanhudaro was a tiny settlement (less than 7 hectares) as compared to Mohenjodaro (125 hectares), almost exclusively devoted to craft production, including bead-making, shell cutting, metal-working, seal-making and weight-making. The variety of materials used to make beads is remarkable: stones like carnelian (of a beautiful red colour), jasper, crystal, quartz and steatite; metals like copper, bronze and gold; and shell, faience and terracotta or burnt clay. Some beads were made of two or more stones, cemented together, some of stone with gold caps. The shapes were numerous - disc-shaped, cylindrical, spherical, barrel-shaped, and segmented. Some were decorated by incising or painting, and some had designs etched onto them.

Techniques for making beads differed according to the material. Steatite, a very soft stone, was easily worked. Some beads were moulded out of a paste made with steatite powder. This permitted making a variety of shapes, unlike the geometrical forms made out of harder stones. How the steatite micro bead was made remains a puzzle for archaeologists studying ancient technology. Archaeologists' experiments have revealed that the red colour of carnelian was obtained by firing the yellowish raw material and beads at various stages of production. Nodules were chipped into rough shapes, and then finely flaked into the final form. Grinding, polishing and finally drilling completed the process. Specialised drills have been found at Chanhudaro, Lothal and more recently at Dholavira. Nageshwar and Balakot, both settlements are near the coast. These were specialised centres for making shell objects including bangles, ladles and inlay - which were taken to other settlements. Similarly, it is likely that finished products (such as beads) from Chanhudaro and Lothal were taken to the large urban centres such as Mohenjodaro and Harappa.
