Consider the following paragraph
Researchers in Mumbai have found that certain types of gallstones can be
dissolved by injecting them with a gasoline additive in the form of ether. The
ether is injected through a tube directly into the gall bladder. The one-day
treatment works only on cholesterol-based stones, not those composed largely
of calcium. However, as the cholesterol stones are by far the most common
type, for millions of gallstone sufferers the treatment should offer a welcome
alternative to surgery, the commonest option in most hospitals.
# "It takes more than one day for ether to dissolve a
calcium-based gallstone".
# "Gallstones can only be dissolved by injections".
# "Gallstones can quickly be cured with surgery".

Consider the following paragraph:
Human
existence is not susceptible of arbitrary division between consciousness and
unconsciousness. The conscious world invaders and shapes the activities of the
unconscious, while many of the great achievements of humanity's waking hours
where wholly or partly inspired by dreams. Even if it could argued that dreams
precede experience such a dichotomy could not be drawn, as the influence of
the dreaming on the waking state would remain unclear, but as yet no common
vocabulary exists to record the substance of prenatal dreaming.
# "Sleep can be a creative state".

the following paragraph:
Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which is one
of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported. Many computers, but
by no means all, are now linked together in networks which allow users on one
computer to communicate with others on the same network. If a computer is not
networked, no manipulation of its data from another machine possible. So long
as users are authorized, networking is just a way of making work easier more
productive. Hacking, on the other hand is the unauthorized use of networks or
unauthorized entry into the computers themselves. Most people do not break
into the networks they use, since they are already accredited users.
# "Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks they break
into".
#
"Hacking is the only vulnerability of the computers for the usage of
the data". Freshersworld.com

the following paragraph:
Polycythemia often occurs in people who have chronic lung disease, but can
appear spontaneously in healthy individuals. Excessive numbers of red blood
cells manufactured by the body and the individual then develops a very
healthy-looking, ruddy complexion. The blood becomes thicker and is liable to
clot and block major blood vessels. High blood pressure is another frequent
complication. Treatment involves venesection, in which a liter or so of blood
is removed from the body. Medication may also be given to reduce the numbers
of red blood cells manufactured in the body.
# "Lung disease frequently precedes polycythemia".
Consider the following paragraph:
Bindweed is only effectively controlled by applying a solution of
brushwood-killer to the growing tips. It is necessary to unwind a suitable
length from the host plant before treatment, but this is not so very
difficult, and it does not seem essential to find and treat every leader on
the same weed. The solution should be made up in a can which is carried in one
hand, while the other, in a rubber glove, inserts the leaders in the can. If
the the leaders can be laid out on the the ground , they can easily be wetted
with a small brush. As long as the weather is calm, there is no real risk of
damage to adjacent plants, and in two or three weeks the weeds should have
disappeared.
# "Brushwood-killer can pose a threat to other plants in the
garden".

Senior managers in a leading company said that new Japanese investment in
India was transforming the car industry, and warned that jobs were under
threat from Japanese competition. They stated that increasing competition

the following paragraph:
The new Starfire has an advanced four-cylinder engine with catalytic converter
and uses only unleaded petrol. Versatility is a major feature of the range and
the 1500 and 1800 models have the same high level of specification inside and
out. The only obvious visual difference, internally and externally, is the use
of alloy wheels on the 1800 version, together with a discreet change in
badging. The StarFire 2000 is distinguished by its tailgate spoiler and the
rectangular fog and driving lamps integrated into the front bumper which are
also included in the specification.
# "Internally, the Starfire 2000 looks like the 1500 model".
Consider the following paragraph:
Pierre Claude Jean Allouez explored lake superior from 1665 to 1667. At his
little mission station near the western end of the lake, he heard from the
Indians of a great river to the west. Pierre Jacques Marquette determined to
investigate. In 1673, accompanied by Louis Jolliet and five others, he left
St. Ignace mission and ascended the fox river, which flows into green bay
crossed over to Wisconsin river and followed it to the upper Mississippi. The
party then descended the Mississippi to the mouth of Arkansas. These Frenchmen
were not first Europeans to sight or travel the Mississippi. De Soto and
Moscoso had done so a century and a half before. The report of the exploration
was rushed back to Quebec, where, in 1672, Count Frontenac had arrived as
Governor of the province. He and his friend, the remarkable La Salle-who
earlier may have penetrated the Ohio river valley-listened with deep interest.
# "Allouez explored the western end of lake superior".

Consider the following paragraph:
Dr. Goddard was the first to fire a rocket that reached a speed faster than
the speed of sound. He was the first to develop a gyroscopic steering
apparatus for rockets. He was the first to use vanes in the jet stream for
rocket stabilization during the initial phase of a rocket flight. And he was
the first to patent the idea of step rockets. After proving on paper and in
actual tests that a rocket can travel in vacuum, he developed the mathematical
theory of rocket propulsion and rocket flight, including basic designs for
long-range rockets. All of this information was available to our military men
before World War II, but evidently its immediate use didn't seem applicable.
Near the end of World War II we started intense work on rocket-powered guided
missiles, using the experiments and developments of Dr. Goddard and the
American Rocket Society.
# "The stabilization problem of rockets in the initial phase was
solved by Dr. Goddard."

Consider the following paragraph:
In March 1513, de Leon sailed off confidently from Peuto Rico for the Bahamas.
Landing briefly at San Salvador, Bahamas, he wound through unchartered islands
until he sighted an extensive coastline. He had no reason to suspect that it
is anything more than an island, but he followed the coast for a day without
rounding its end or finding a suitable landing place. He named the
"island" La Florida. This name came to be applied by the Spanish to
the entire Southeastern United States and beyond. Then, near the 30th
parallel, de Leon landed at the mouth of the St. Johns river. Determined to be
the first to circumnavigate the "island", he turned south, traced
the coast around the tip of the peninsula, moved to the west, perhaps reaching
Tampa bay. After 7 weeks, he gave up hope of circling the northern tip of this
"island"; it was incredibly large and he may have suspected that he
had discovered the long sought mainland. If so, it all belonged to his King,
for he had earlier planted the Spanish flag and claimed Florida for Ferdinand.
# "de Leon is from Spain, ruled by Ferdinand".
# "de Leon is very patriotic".
# "de Leon discovered part of US during his journey".
Consider
the following paragraph:
James Madison understood that interests groups will inevitably develop within
a free political system. The problem, as Madison saw it, was to prevent any
single interest group from becoming so strong that it was able to dominate the
political system. This could be accomplished by legislating restrictions on
political behavior, but that solution meant a sacrifice of some of the freedom
that Madison prized so highly. A better solution, he thought, was to extend
the territorial scope of the government. This would allow for greater
diversity of interests in the nation, and a greater number of groups competing
for power. Each interest group would thereby find it more difficult to appeal
to a majority of the people, and to dominate the political process.
# "The more interest groups there are in a political system, the
less freedom there is for everyone."
# "Legislating restrictions on political behavior is sometimes the
only method of preserving political freedom."
# "Increasing the territorial scope of a government can help to
preserve freedom."
# "According to Madison, in a free political system, interest
groups are undesirable."
Consider the following paragraph:
The regulations and expenses to invent, patent and market new ideas and
products imposes a heavy burden on inventors. The cost is often absorbed by
large corporations with research and development facilities they provide.
Corporations also help creative people contribute to society without suffering
the loss of income or security of the private inventor. The realities of this
arrangement are that many good ideas are never brought into the marketplace
and the cost of products on the market is high because of the development
cost. However, protection provided by the patents and the safety to the public
to avoid placing harmful products on the market is important to maintain.
Thus, as is often the case, rules and regulations have their favorable and
unfavorable consequences.
# "The regulations and expenses to invent, patent and market new
ideas is an expensive proposition to the inventors".
# "Good ideas are never brought into the marketplace because of
the costs involved in inventing, patenting marketing them".
# "Corporations steal the individual inventor of their
inventions".

the following paragraph:
Being born female and black were two handicaps Gwendolyn Brooks states that
she faced from her birth, in 1917, in Kansas. Brooks was determined to
succeed. Despite the lack of encouragement she received from her teachers and
others, she was determined to write and found the first publisher for one of
her poems when she was 11. In 1945, she marketed and sold her first book;
national recognition ensued. She applied for and received grants and
fellowships from such organizations as the AAAL and the Guggenheim Foundation.
Later she received the Pulitzer prize for poetry; she was the first black
woman to receive such an honor. Brooks' reaction to fame is atypical. She
continues to work and work hard. She writes, travels, and helps many who are
interested in writing. Especially important for her is increasing her
knowledge of her black heritage and encouraging other people to do the same.
She encourages dedication to the art to would-be writers.
# "Brooks' story illustrates the power of strong
determination".
# "She became the author of a book in her teens".

Consider the following paragraph:
A cave is a natural opening in the ground extending beyond the zone of light
and large enough to permit the entry of man. Occurring in a wide variety of
rock types and caused by widely differing geological processes, caves range in
size from single small rooms to interconnecting passages many miles long. The
scientific study of caves is called speleology. It is a composite science
based on geology, hydrology, biology and archeology, and thus holds special
interest for earth scientists. Caves have been natural attractions since
prehistoric times. Prolific evidence of early man's interest has been
discovered in caves scattered throughout the world. Skeletons of some of the
earliest manlike creatures (Australopithecines) have been discovered in cave
deposit in South Africa, and the first evidence of primitive Neanderthal man
was found in Germany. Cro-Magnon man created his remarkable murals on the
walls of caves in France.
# "Primitive human form originated in Germany".
# "Study of caves is the study of earth, water, life and early
man".
# "Cro-Magnon man was more intelligent than Neanderthal man".
# "Caves are a natural attraction because they reveal information
about the early man".
Consider the following paragraph:
Although invaders represent the threat to the conservation of flora and fauna,
there are two special cases in which invasion have been deliberately brought
about. One is the desire to control pests by natural predators, which may have
to be brought from other countries. The second is releasing organisms into the
wild (or on to farms, from which they might escape) that are completely novel,
because they have been genetically engineered. There is nothing intrinsically
sinister about engineered organisms, but any novelty must be regarded as
potential invader.
# "Pests are more dangerous than their natural predators".
Consider the following paragraph:
Life in colonial times was harsh, and the refinements of the mother country
were ordinarily lacking. The colonists, however, soon began to mold their
English culture into the fresh environment of new land. The influence of
religion permeated the entire way of life. In most Southern colonies, the
Anglican church was the legally established church. In New England, the
Puritans were dominant; and in Pennsylvania, the Quakers. Especially in the
New England colonies, the local or village church was the hub of community
life; the authorities strictly enforced the Sabbath and sometimes banished
non-believers. Unfortunately, the same sort of religious intolerance, bigotry
and superstition associated with the age of Reformation in Europe also
prevailed in some of the colonies, though on a lesser scale. In the last half
of the 17th century, during sporadic outbreak of religious fanaticism and
hysteria, Connecticut authorities tried and hanged several women as
"witches". Early in the 17th century, some other witchcraft
persecution occurred in Virginia. As the decades passed, however, religious
tolerance developed in colonies.

Organizing the home can be perceived as conferring power, so large numbers of
women are unwilling to let go of chores, even when they have careers. A survey
found that, out of 65 new marriages, not one single wife expected her husband
to share work equally. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, 81% of
working wives return home to do all the cooking. The average male has nearly
half as much as more free time at weekends than his wife, and the typical new
father spends just 37 seconds a day talking to his baby.

Consider
the following paragraph:
Statistics show that millions of vehicles have been carried by shuttle over
the past 30 years through Alpine tunnels without one ever catching fire. In
the Alpine tunnels, drivers and passengers sit in their vehicles on the
shuttle trains. Only one vehicle has ever caught fire on the busy French
motorail equivalent system. This sort of accident is not possible in a closed
shuttle. Assertion that a vehicle fire will lead to catastrophe have no basis.
Since the resources exist to detect, control and extinguish a fire, and to
remove any persons present safely to an adjoining wagon, leaving any surviving
fire facing rapid extinction within a wagon built to contain fire for 30
minutes, catastrophe seems very unlikely.
# " It is theoretically possible for a vehicle to catch fire even
in a closed wagon".
# " The French motorail system is inferior to the shuttle train
system."
#
"No accident can occur in the closed tunnels".
#
"Fire is allowed to live for 30 min".

"All the cars that travel in the tunnels will be carried by rail
shutters".
