Read the passage and answer the following question:
Anglo-Saxon is now, of course, a dead language, but a good deal of its vocabulary has survived, in one form or another to the present day. Most of the very common words in modern English are Anglo-Saxon in origin; nouns like father, mother, food, drink, bed, hunger; most of the prepositions and conjunctions; and nearly all the strong verbs. When it was mixed with Norman French, there were three main results: the grammar was simplified, the pronunciation and spellings became much more complicated and the vocabulary was enormously extended. French is a Latin language, so the major part of our vocabulary is now Latin in origin.
A “dead language” is:

Read the passage and answer the questions given at the end of the passage:
Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to find out abnormalities in the unborn fetus and take remedial action to rectify some defects which would otherwise prove to be fatal to the child. Though genetic engineering is still at its infancy, scientists can now predict with greater accuracy a genetic disorder. It is not yet an exact science since they are not in a position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder will set in. While they have not yet been able to change the genetic order of the gene in germs, they are optimistic and are holding out that in the near future they might be successful in achieving this feat. However, genetic misinformation can sometimes be damaging for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic information may lead to a tendency to brand some people as inferiors. Genetic information can therefore be abused and its application in deciding the sex of the fetus and its subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines. But on this issue geneticists cannot be squarely blamed though this charge has often been leveled at them. It is mainly a societal problem. At present genetic engineering is a costly process of detecting disorders but scientists hope to reduce the costs when technology becomes more advanced. This is why much progress in this area is seen in scientifically advanced and rich countries like the U.S.A, UK and Japan. It remains to be seen if in the future this science will lead to the development of a race of supermen or will be able to obliterate disease from this world.

Read the passage. Then answer the questions below. Mona doesn’t like to ask people for help. But it is hard for her to perform daily activities on her own. She is almost 13, yet she is no larger than a 5-year-old. Mona has trouble keeping her balance and can’t walk very far. When she uses a wheelchair, she can’t push it herself. Fortunately, Mona has a wonderful service dog named Sam. A service dog is a dog that has been trained to assist someone who has a physical problem. Sam lets Mona lean on him when she walks. He also pulls her wheelchair and turns lights on and off. When Mona drops something, Sam picks it up. He even pulls her socks off at night. Sam also helps Mona with everyday tasks at school. He carries her books from class to class in a special backpack. He puts Mona’s completed assignments in her teachers’ homework trays. In the lunchroom he throws away her trash. Besides making Mona less dependent on other people, Sam helps her lead a fuller life. Mona’s classmates flock around Sam like geese. This has helped her make friends. Sam also helps Mona be more active. With his aid, she raised over $500 in a walk-a-thon for her local humane society. Because of Sam, Mona doesn’t have to ask people for help. Sam brings her closer to other kids. And he even helps her contribute to her community.
