Explanation

The correct option is: (a) In France the death penalty was abolished in 1981.

This sentence uses the simple past tense to describe an event that happened at a specific point in the past.

Explanation

The correct option is: We look forward to going to Lahore in the evening.

Gerund: The verb "look forward to" requires a gerund (verb + -ing) as its object. So, "going" is the correct form.

Preposition: The preposition "to" is necessary to indicate the destination.

Article: The definite article "the" is used before "evening" to specify a particular evening.

Explanation

The correct option is: The doctor told him to give up smoking.

This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

It uses the infinitive form "to give up" to express the action that the doctor is advising.

Explanation

This sentence is grammatically correct and uses the preposition "in" correctly to indicate location. 

Explanation

The correct option is: A tea cup is hanging on the hook in the kitchen.

This sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense.

It conveys the idea that a cup used for drinking tea is hanging on a hook.

The other options are either grammatically incorrect or don't make sense in the context of the sentence.

Read the following passage and choose the most suitable option for the question/ statements.

PASSAGE

Glaciers consist of fallen snow that compresses over many years into large, thickened ice masses. Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa. Presently, 10% of land area is covered with glaciers. Glacial ice often appears blue because ice absorbs all other colors but reflects blue. Almost 90% of an iceberg is below water; only about 10% shows above water. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Some glaciers are as small as football fields, whereas others grow to be over 100 kilometers long.

Within the past 750,000 years, scientists know that there have been eight Ice Age cycles, separated by warmer periods called interglacial periods. Currently, the earth is nearing the end of an interglacial, meaning that another Ice Age is due in a few thousand years. This is part of the normal climate variation cycle. Greenhouse warming may delay the onset of another glacial era, but scientists still have many questions to answer about climate change. Although glaciers change very slowly over long periods, they may provide important global climate change signals.

The girth of the ice, combined with gravity's influence, causes glaciers to flow very slowly. Once a mass of compressed ice reaches a critical thickness of about 18 meters thick, it becomes so heavy that it begins to deform and move. Ice may flow down mountains and valleys, fan across plains, or spread out to sea. Movement along the underside of a glacier is slower than movement at the top due to the friction created as it slides along the ground's surface.

Most glaciers are found in remote mountainous areas. However, some found near cities or towns present danger to the people living nearby. On land, lakes formed on top of a glacier during the melt season may cause floods. At the narrow part of a valley glacier, ice falling from the glacier presents a hazard to hikers below. When ce breaks off over the ocean, an iceberg is formed.

Glaciers are a natural resource and contain 75% of the world's freshwater. People worldwide are trying to harness the power of these frozen streams. Some towns rely on glacial melting from a nearby ice cap to provide drinking water. Some farmers spread soil or ashes over snow to promote melting, hoping that the melting will provide water to irrigate crops in drought-stricken areas. Others have channeled meltwater from glaciers to their Fields. Scientists and engineers have worked together to tap into glacial resources, using electricity generated in part by damming glacial meltwater.

Question: According to paragraph 4, what is the negative effect of living too close to a glacier?

(a) The mass of the glacier reaches a critical thickness.

(b) About 10% of a glacier shows above water.

(c) Spreading dark material over snow promotes melting.

(d) Lakes formed on top of glaciers may cause floods

Question: The underlined word remote, as used in paragraph 4 of the passage, most nearly means:
