Question 129 (1 of 1 Based on Passage)
Passage
To encourage research is one of the functions of a university. Contemporary universities have encouraged research, not only in those cases where research is necessary, but on the sorts of entirely unprofitable subjects as well. Scientific research is probably never completely valueless. However silly and insignificant in may seem, however mechanical and unintelligent the labours of the researchers, there is always chance that the results may be of value to the investigator of talent. Who can use the facts collected for him by uninspired but industrious researchers as the basis of some fruitful generalization? But where research is not original, but consists in the mere rearrangement of existing materials, where its object is not scientific but literary or historical, then there is a risk of the whole business becoming merely futile.

Question 130 (1 of 1 Based on Passage)
Passage
There is a claim that organic farming is inherently safer and healthier. The reality is that because the organic farming industry is still young and not well-regulated in India, farmers and consumers, alike; are not only confused about what products are best for them, but sometimes use products in ways that could harm them as well. For example, since organic fertilizers are difficult to obtain on a large scale in India, farmers often use farmyard manure, which may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Certain plant sprays, such as Datura flower and leaf spray, have an element called atropine. If it is not applied in the right dose, it can act on the nervous system of the consumer. Unfortunately, how much and when to use it are not well-researched or regulated issues.
