Reading Comprehension, Summary & Composition
Solution
'The same thing happened to aviators'. This excerpt according to the passage, means
A
that riveters were particularly susceptible
B
industrial and military deafness
C
that continued loud noise resulted in deafness
D
that working in a boiler factory affected one's hearing
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage discusses how exposure to loud noise over time causes hearing loss. Initially, this concern was limited to industrial workers (such as riveters in boiler factories) and military personnel. However, as technology advanced, aviators and ground crews working around jets also suffered from hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to loud noise.
The phrase "the same thing happened to aviators" refers to the fact that aviators, like industrial workers, also experienced deafness caused by continued exposure to loud noise. Thus, option C best captures the meaning of the excerpt.

A
is accepted by present day students essential
B
prepares students for specific careers
C
provides missing link in the technological education of our students
D
is the best solution to the problem of unemployment
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage discusses the challenges faced in modern education, particularly in preparing students for a rapidly changing world and job market. The passage notes that training students for specific technologies or vocational roles is becoming obsolete. This is because the pace of technological change is so rapid that by the time students complete such training, new technologies or job requirements may have emerged.
In response to these challenges, the passage argues for the value of studying the humanities. It suggests that humanities education plays a crucial role by teaching students how to think critically, analyze complex issues and understand the broader human experience. This broader perspective is seen as a necessary complement to narrow vocational training and materialistic views of education.
