The air within about amillimeterof the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature ofthe air isclose to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small thesedifferences mightbe, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near thesurfacemixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lowerin watervapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixesthe air. Asthe speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rateof heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding ofthisphenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water,which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicatedphenomenon.When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts ofenergy-energy,which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence.11. This passage principally intends to:A. resolve a controversyB. attempt a description of a phenomenonC. sketch a theoryD. reinforce certain research findingsE. tabulate various observationsAnswer : B12. The wind over the ocean usually does which of the followingaccording to the given passage?I. Leads to cool, dry air coming in proximity with the ocean surface.II. Maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the oceanand the air.III. Results in frequent changes in the ocean surface temperature.A. I onlyB. II onlyC. I and II onlyD. II and III onlyE. I, II, and IIIAnswer : A13. According to the author the present knowledge regarding heat andmoisture transfer from the ocean to air as

A. revolutionaryB. inconsequentialC. outdatedD. derivativeE. incompleteAnswer : E14. According to the given passage, in case the wind was to decrease untilthere was no wind at all, which of the following would occur?A. The air, which is closest to the ocean surface would get saturatedwith water vapor.B. The water would be cooler than the air closest to the oceansurface.C. There would be a decrease in the amount of moisture in the airclosest to the ocean surface.D. There would be an increase in the rate of heat and moisturetransfer.E. The temperature of the air closest to the ocean and that of the airhigher up would be the same.Answer : ADirections for Questions 15-20: Read the passage and answer the questions thatfollow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.Roger Rosenblatt's book Black Fiction, manages to alter the approach takenin manyprevious studies by making an attempt to apply literary rather thansociopoliticalcriteria to its subject. Rosenblatt points out that criticism of Blackwriting has veryoften served as a pretext for an expounding on Blackhistory. The recent work ofAddison Gayle's passes a judgement on the value of Black fiction by clearlypolit icalstandards, rating each work according to the ideas of Black identity, which itpropounds.Though fiction results from political circumstances, its author react notin ideologicalways to those circumstances, and talking about novels and stories primarily asinstruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise.Affinities andconnections are revealed in the works of Black fiction in Rosenblatt'sliterary analysis;these affinities and connections have been overlooked and ignored by solelypoliticalstudies.The writing of acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presumes givingsatisfactory answers to a quite a few questions. The most important of all,is there asufficient reason, apart from the racial identity of the authors, for thegroupingtogether of Black authors? Secondly, what is the distinction of Blackfiction from othermodern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? In the work Rosenblattdemonstrates that Black fiction is a distinct body of writing, which has anidentifiable,coherent literary tradition. He highlights recurring concerns and designs,which areindependent of chronology in Black fiction written over the past eightyyears. Theseconcerns and designs are thematic, and they come form the central fact of thepredominant white culture, where the Black characters in the novel are situatedirrespective of whether they attempt to conform to that culture or theyrebel againstit.Rosenblatt's work does leave certain aesthetic questions open. His thematicanalysis

allows considerable objectivity; he even clearly states that he does notintend to judgethe merit of the various works yet his reluctance seems misplaced,especially since anattempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For example,certain novelshave an appearance of structural diffusion. Is this a defeat, or are theauthors workingout of, or attempting to forge, a different kind of aesthetic? Apart fromthis, the styleof certain Black novels, like Jean Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism orsurrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalenttheme thatportrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usuallyconveyed bymore naturalistic modes of expressions?Irrespective of such omissions, what Rosenblatt talks about in his workmakes for anastute and worthwhile study. His book very effectively surveys a variety ofnovels,highlighting certain fascinating and little-known works like James WeldonJohnson'sAutobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man. Black Fiction is tightly constructed, andlevelheaded and penetrating criticism is exemplified in its forthright andlucid style.15. The author of the passage raises and objection to criticism of Blackfiction like that by Addison Gayle as it:A. Highlights only the purely literary aspects of such worksB. Misconceive the ideological content of such fictionC. Miscalculate the notions of Black identity presented in such fictionD. Replaces political for literary criteria in evaluating such fictionE.
