Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
If I asked you which the first significant Palace hotel in India was, I am pretty sure you would
get it wrong. Which, I guess, is fine. There is no reason why most of us should be well
informed about the history of palaces or hotels.
But what’s interesting is this. I reckon that around 90 per cent of the travel business would get
it wrong too.
And I am not even sure what you could say was the ‘correct’ answer. When the Taj Mahal
Hotel opened in Mumbai over a century ago, it was called the Taj Mahal Palace. In those days,
a grand hotel was regarded as a palace hotel and often used the word ‘palace’ in its name. All
over Europe you will find so-called ‘palace’ hotels, none of which were ever palaces but were
always built to be hotels.
So yes, the Mumbai Taj was the first palace hotel of note in India. Except that it wasn’t really a
palace.
The first real palace to be converted into a hotel was the Srinagar palace which Dr. Karan
Singh gave over to the Oberoi group to run as a hotel in the late 1950s. There was no hotel
boom in India in those days and only a small number of foreign tourists. On the other hand,
Kashmir was the hot destination for tourists from the rest of India and for shooting Hindi
movies. So the hotel always did well and inspired other maharajas to consider turning their
palaces into hotels.
Among the first maharajas to take the plunge were Sawai Man Singh of Jaipur and Bhagwat
Singh of Udaipur. Sawai Man Singh lived in a relatively modern palace (early 20th Century
construction) in Jaipur, called the Rambagh, and decided to move out to another palace (the
older City Palace) and turn the Rambagh into a luxury hotel. The Udaipur family owned a
beautiful palace in the middle of Lake Pichola overlooking their main palace and they turned
that into a hotel.
Unlike the Oberoi Palace in Srinagar which boomed under Oberoi management, neither
Rajasthan palace did very well because maharajas are not born hoteliers and most of them
are bad businessmen.

Q.86 What reason does the writer give for the success of the first palace hotel in Srinagar?

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Black Drongo also known as the King Crow, is a small Asian bird of the drongo family.
Previously, it was seen as a subspecies of the African Fork-tailed Drongo, but is now
recognized as a full species. It is a common resident breeder in much of tropical southern
Asia from southwest Iran through India and Sri Lanka to southern China and Indonesia. It is a
wholly black bird with a distinctive forked tail and measures 28 cm in length.
Feeding on insects, it is commonly found in open agricultural areas and light forest areas
throughout its range, perching conspicuously on a bare perch or along power or telephone
lines.
The species is famous for its aggressive behaviour towards much larger birds, such as crows,
and never hesitates to dive-bomb any birds of prey that invade its territory. Smaller birds often
nest in the well-guarded vicinity of a nesting Black Drongo.
The Black Drongo has been introduced to some Pacific islands, where it has thrived and
become abundant to the point of threatening and causing the extinction of native and
endemic bird species there.
Drongos fly with strong flaps of the wing and are capable of fast manoeuvres that enable
them to capture flying insects.With short legs, they sit upright on thorny bushes, bare perches
or electricity wires. They may also perch on grazing animals.
The Black Drongo is found predominantly in open country and usually perches and hunts
close to the ground. They are mostly aerial predators of insects but also glean from the
ground or off vegetation.
They are found as summer visitors to northeastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan but are
mainly resident south from the Indus Valley up to Bangladesh and into India and Sri Lanka.

There are still 10,000 or so red telephone boxes on Britain’s streets, including Sir Giles Gilbert
Scott’s 1924 Kiosk 2 prototype, which you will find outside the Royal Academy on Piccadilly in
London. The K2 was voted the greatest British design of all time in 2015. But what is to be
done with them in the age of the smartphone? Some have found new life as mini-libraries,
many house defibrillators, others are used as coffee stands and most are purely decorative.
Meanwhile, if you’re nostalgic for the days when telephone boxes were handsome, useful
items of street furniture, you can buy a K6 box for £2,750 (plus VAT and delivery) through BT’s
approved reseller X2Connect.
John Farmer, who describes himself as an activist shareholder, is a man with a mission – to
save Britain’s red phone boxes. These were once a feature of every high street in the country,
but now number only 10,000 or so (and half of those are decorative rather than operational).In
2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of
the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the union jack and Concorde.
There are still numerous Scott kiosks in central London, many of which have been listed as
historically or architecturally significant – a response to the destruction of many boxes by the
newly formed British Telecom in the 1980s.Across the UK, more than 3,000 kiosks have been
listed, including all the K2s, so there is no danger of them disappearing from Britain’s streets.
Since 2008, rather than remove decommissioned ones that have not been listed, BT has
allowed local councils and charities to repurpose them under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme. More
than 5,000 have been adopted.
Scott’s kiosks are loved in part because they are redolent of a time when the British were
willing to build a small house from which anyone could make a call. They represent civic pride

2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of
the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the union jack and Concorde.
There are still numerous Scott kiosks in central London, many of which have been listed as
historically or architecturally significant – a response to the destruction of many boxes by the
newly formed British Telecom in the 1980s.Across the UK, more than 3,000 kiosks have been
listed, including all the K2s, so there is no danger of them disappearing from Britain’s streets.
Since 2008, rather than remove decommissioned ones that have not been listed, BT has
allowed local councils and charities to repurpose them under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme. More
than 5,000 have been adopted.
Scott’s kiosks are loved in part because they are redolent of a time when the British were
willing to build a small house from which anyone could make a call. They represent civic pride
and national confidence – both now in short supply.

Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are still 10,000 or so red telephone boxes on Britain’s streets, including Sir Giles Gilbert
Scott’s 1924 Kiosk 2 prototype, which you will find outside the Royal Academy on Piccadilly in
London. The K2 was voted the greatest British design of all time in 2015. But what is to be
done with them in the age of the smartphone? Some have found new life as mini-libraries,
many house defibrillators, others are used as coffee stands and most are purely decorative.
Meanwhile, if you’re nostalgic for the days when telephone boxes were handsome, useful
items of street furniture, you can buy a K6 box for £2,750 (plus VAT and delivery) through BT’s
approved reseller X2Connect.
John Farmer, who describes himself as an activist shareholder, is a man with a mission – to
save Britain’s red phone boxes. These were once a feature of every high street in the country,
but now number only 10,000 or so (and half of those are decorative rather than operational).In
2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of
the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the union jack and Concorde.
