Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
It is said that no noble or commoner could fool King Soloman, for he was a ________ king.

(A) wise (B) more wise (C) wisest (D) wiser

सही उत्तर: विकल्प (1)

व्याख्या: 'King' एक एकवचन गणनीय संज्ञा (singular countable noun) है। वाक्य में किसी के साथ तुलना (comparison) नहीं की गई है, इसलिए positive degree के विशेषण 'wise' का प्रयोग होगा। 'wiser' (तुलनात्मक) या 'wisest' (सर्वोच्च) का उपयोग व्याकरणिक दृष्टि से यहाँ गलत होगा।

Which of these two routes is _______?

(A) shortest (B) shorter (C) more shorter (D) short

सही उत्तर: विकल्प (2)

व्याख्या: यहाँ "these two routes" (दो रास्तों) के बीच तुलना की जा रही है। जब दो वस्तुओं की तुलना होती है, तो Comparative Degree का उपयोग होता है। 'short' की comparative degree 'shorter' है। 'more shorter' गलत है क्योंकि shorter पहले से ही comparative रूप में है।

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Throughout history, scientific advancements have been heralded as milestones of human achievement, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and reshaping societies. However, the paradox of progress lies in its unintended consequences. The same discoveries that have eradicated diseases and enhanced communication have also fueled conflicts and ethical dilemmas. For instance, the discovery of nuclear fission revolutionised energy production but also led to the devastating creation of nuclear weapons. Similarly, artificial intelligence has streamlined industries, yet it raises concerns about job displacement and algorithmic biases. The moral complexities of scientific advancements question whether technological progress equates to human progress. The structure of scientific breakthroughs follows a cyclical pattern — initial excitement, mass adoption, unforeseen consequences, and eventual regulation. This cycle underscores the necessity for ethical considerations to precede innovation. The historical case of DDT, initially lauded for eradicating malaria-carrying mosquitoes, later became infamous for its environmental toxicity, leading to a ban in several nations. Such instances highlight the need for pre-emptive scrutiny rather than reactive corrections. In modern discourse, ethical frameworks like bioethics and AI ethics attempt to anticipate the ramifications of new technologies. However, these frameworks remain reactive rather than proactive. The question persists: Can society navigate the fine line between innovation and its unintended consequences, or will history continue its cycle of discovery and regret?

What is the central theme of the passage?

(A) The negative impact of technology on society (B) The inevitability of scientific failure (C) The history of nuclear and AI advancements (D) The need for ethical foresight in scientific progress

सही उत्तर: विकल्प (4)

व्याख्या: गद्यांश का मुख्य विषय (Central theme) वैज्ञानिक प्रगति में निहित नैतिक जटिलताओं और तकनीकी सफलताओं के अप्रत्याशित परिणामों से बचने के लिए पूर्वव्यापी नैतिक दूरदर्शिता (ethical foresight/pre-emptive scrutiny) की आवश्यकता पर जोर देना है। अतः विकल्प 4 (The need for ethical foresight in scientific progress) सही है।
