Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are still 10,000 or so red telephone boxes on Britain’s streets, including Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s 1924 Kiosk 2 prototype, which you will find outside the Royal Academy on Piccadilly in London. The K2 was voted the greatest British design of all time in 2015. But what is to be done with them in the age of the smartphone? Some have found new life as mini-libraries, many house defibrillators, others are used as coffee stands and most are purely decorative. Meanwhile, if you’re nostalgic for the days when telephone boxes were handsome, useful items of street furniture, you can buy a K6 box for £2,750 (plus VAT and delivery) through BT’s approved reseller X2Connect.
John Farmer, who describes himself as an activist shareholder, is a man with a mission – to save Britain’s red phone boxes. These were once a feature of every high street in the country, but now number only 10,000 or so (and half of those are decorative rather than operational).In 2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the Union Jack and Concorde. There are still numerous Scott kiosks in central London, many of which have been listed as historically or architecturally significant – a response to the destruction of many boxes by the newly formed British Telecom in the 1980s.Across the UK, more than 3,000 kiosks have been listed, including all the K2s, so there is no danger of them disappearing from Britain’s streets. Since 2008, rather than remove decommissioned ones that have not been listed, BT has allowed local councils and charities to repurpose them under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme. More than 5,000 have been adopted.
Scott’s kiosks are loved in part because they are redolent of a time when the British were willing to build a small house from which anyone could make a call. They represent civic pride and national confidence – both are now in short supply.
Question:
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

Option 1: People do not experience civic pride anymore.

Option 2: Kiosks were designed almost a hundred years ago.

Option 3: The red boxes have been affected by mobile phones.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions.
As I turned to the main road, my smartphone rang. I looked at the car's dashboard display for a fraction of a second to see the caller's name while I reflexively whirled the wheel around the street corner. The brief lapse in concentration was enough to miss a biker. Fortunately, both of us stopped at the right time but he ranted expletives at my family, particularly the women. Undeterred, I opened the window, smiled at him and said, "I am sorry." He immediately paused, and then just advised me kindly to look on all sides of the road while driving.

That is the power of the unique and wonderful act called smile. It can break barriers and bridge chasms. The power of the smile is often underestimated by us. Despite being the only species with this graceful expression, humans do not comprehend the myriad strengths of a smile and often forget to use it.

Just like the innumerable gifts of nature which we have taken for granted, I had missed the influence of a smile in my early years. The awakening occurred in my early twenties when I worked as a junior doctor in a hospital. We, a group of doctors, were having coffee together, one of the senior doctors told me, "You seemed to have missed an important developmental milestone."

Developmental milestone refers to various social, motor and vocal skills which a child acquires at each period of its development in infancy and childhood such as rolling over, standing and speaking. To my despair, he declared, "You haven't got your social smile yet." While I considered myself a pleasant person, his harsh comment rather irked me.

At three to four months of age, a growing child starts recognising familiar faces and in an attempt to interact with them, it expresses the social smile. It is typically towards the parents, grandparents and siblings initially, and then slowly extends towards other familiar faces. It is nature's evolutionary attempt to increase the bonding between humans. It is a way of expression to pronounce one's affability. But somewhere during our growth and interaction with society, we have been taught directly or indirectly that strangers are not to be smiled at. After long days of introspection, I made it a point to reclaim my lost milestone.

Question:
What does "I made it a point to reclaim my lost milestone" mean?

Option 1: The writer had forgotten to smile.

Option 2: The writer did not think much about smiling.

Option 3: The writer was trained to smile at strangers.

Option 4: The writer decided to smile more often.

Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

I made it a point to reclaim my lost milestone, which means the writer decided to smile more often. The statement suggests that the writer, after reflecting and considering the senior doctor's
