Question : Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
The science of climate change is more solid and widely agreed upon than you might think. But the scope of the topic, as well as rampant disinformation, can make it hard to separate fact from fiction. Here, we've done our best to present you with not only the most accurate scientific information but also an explanation of how we know it. Climate change is often cast as a prediction made by complicated computer models. But the scientific basis for climate change is much broader, and models are actually only one part of it (and, for what it's worth, they're surprisingly accurate).

For more than a century, scientists have understood the basic physics behind why greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide cause warming. These gases make up just a small fraction of the atmosphere but exert outsized control on Earth's climate by trapping some of the planet's heat before it escapes into space. This greenhouse effect is important: It's why a planet so far from the sun has liquid water and life! However, during the Industrial Revolution, people started burning coal and other fossil fuels to power factories, smelters and steam engines, which added more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Ever since human activities have been heating the planet.

Question:
Predictions of climate change are made by:

 

Option 1: gas model
 

Option 2: liquid model
 

Option 3: paper models
 

Option 4: computer models

Correct Answer: computer models


Solution : The correct option is 4, i.e 'Computer models.'
Explanation:

Consider the fourth sentence of the first paragraph of the passage:

- 'Climate change is frequently portrayed as a prediction made by complex computer models.'

- The preceding line implies that computer models are used

Question:

For what duration of time, scientists learned the green house gases?

Option 1: more than a decade
 

Option 2: more than two fortnights
 

Option 3: more than a 20 years
 

Option 4: more than a century

Correct Answer: more than a century


Solution : The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

'More than a century,' is the correct answer.

Take a look at the first sentence of the passage's final paragraph:

Do I need to get 50 percentage in Theory and practical Separately or Both theory+ Practical Combined? For neet Eligibility criteria. I got 24 In theory and 28 in Practical . total= 54. ( For Physics) In Physics My theory marks is not 50 percentage. For Chemistry,T = 58. Bio = 80.

Hello aspirant

Your combined score of theory + practicals will be counted.

If you have got 50% marks in theory and practicals , you should not worry. Also you must have scored 50% aggregate score in physics+ chemistry + biology ( not separately)

As per neet eligibility criteria The candidate

I cross 50 percent createria when I check using Theroy+ Practical marks. But If I include only Theory marks ( Physics 28/ 70. chemistry 24/ 70. Bio 60/ 70) Am I eligible for neet? I am OBC category

mjaisinghani62 23rd Jan, 2024


Hello aspirant

Your physics score is 28 , you got 24 marks  out of 70 in

Chemistry and 60 marks in biology then your total score of physics + chemistry + biology will be 28 + 24+ 60 = 112

50 % of 70 marks is 35 and 50% of

I have got 58 in Physics. 80 In Biology. and 54 In chemistry. Am I eligible or neet? Because I Have Around 24 marks In Physics and 28 In chemistry out of 70.

mjaisinghani62 23rd Jan, 2024

Hello Rahul

Your combined score of theory and practicals will be considered .

Your physics score + chemistry + biology score is 58 +54 +80 =192

For neet exam you must score minimum 150 aggregate marks in physics, chemistry and biology.

192 > 150 , so you must not worry
