Explanation / Answer

24. Bullying is using superior strength or influence to intimidate someone or force them to do something. Bullying can be physical, verbal or emotional.

Bullies are morally separated and use egoistical reasoning strategies. Emotions like guilt and shame, expressed in a sense of moral obligation, and insignificance and pride expressed as an attitude of moral disengagement are not felt strongly by the bullies. Hence, ‘moral emotions are not felt as strongly by the bullies’ can be established as a reason why bullying happens.

Option (a) is incorrect.

Kids who bully others are susceptible to short-term and long-lasting emotional problems. They have low intolerance to frustration, trouble in empathizing others, and tend to dominate others in order to manage their own strong emotions. Hence, they tend to exhibit stronger emotions, which is one of the reason why they bully others.

Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.

Bullies tend to believe violence is a way of gaining power, hence have more positive attitude about violent behaviors. Hence, they make use of bullying as a weapon in difficult situations.

Option (d) is incorrect.

Bullies may demonstrate lack of concern while clarifying their practices. They tend to show indifference when explaining their behaviors. But this cannot be recognized as a reason why bullying happens.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

25. Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that destroys memory and important mental functions. Genetic predisposition occurs as a result of specific genetic variations that can be inherited from parents. Alzheimer’s disease may occur as an aftereffect of genetic predisposition.

Thus, patients who have genetic predisposition are likely to be susceptible to the disease than who do not have. Since, Dorothy and Reagan have genetic predisposition, they are likely to develop the disease.

Hence, we can rule out the options (b) and (d).

Dancing or any other form of physical activity that combines physical and cognitive stimulation could maximize neuroplasticity and cognition. Physical exercise especially dance has proven to be effective in elderly individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and those with confusion, orientation and memory loss. Mental and physical coordination activates several brain regions and strengthens neural connections can improve memory. Moreover, socializing has also proved to enhance the lives of Alzheimer’s patients. Healthy diet, exercise, and being social are essential for one’s brain health. Studies show that positive social interaction can control the progression of the disease.

Hence, even though Bill has no genetic predisposition, he may be susceptible to the disease due to lack of exercise and socializing.

So, option (c) is incorrect.

John who has no genetic predisposition and goes dancing with his friends twice a week is least likely to develop the disease among the four.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (d).

26. Composition of concepts, which are used to help people know and understand a subject is called conceptual representation. (Concepts described about a ship).

Analogical representation is the representation of physical characteristics of an object. (e.g., picture of a ship)

Symbolic representation is an abstract mental representation that does not correspond to physical features of an object or idea (e.g., the word ‘ship’)

The word cake on a menu is a symbolic representation and the picture of a cake on the menu is an analogical representation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (b).
