1. Read the passage and answer the following question.
Jupiter has 2.5 times more mass than all the other planets of the solar system combined and is 11 times as large as Earth in diameter. Jupiter is so large that scientists believe it almost became a star: as the gasses and dust contracted to the form the planet, gravitational forces created tremendous pressure and the temperature inside the core—as high as tens of thousands of degrees. But there was not enough mass available to create the temperature needed to start a fusion reaction such as that of the Sun (above 27,000,000 Fahrenheit, or 15,000,000 Celsius, at the Sun’s core); thus Jupiter has been cooling down ever since. Even so, Jupiter radiates about as much heat as it receives from the Sun.
Ques 1. The passage is mainly concerned with
[A]. the size of Jupiter relative to other planets in the solar system
[B]. differences between the sun and Jupiter
[C]. how Jupiter’s mass has affected its development
[D]. the temperature at which a planet’s core can start a fusion reaction

Stump-Up was invented in 1986 by Tokyo Beverages Owner Okawa Bhery. The name for the product was actually proposed by Okawa’s assistant, Fizzy Brewndon. The name was taken from the two most unusual ingredients in the drink, the Canadian banana leaf and the Asian stump root. The recipe for today’s Stump-Up is very well guarded. Many of the ingredients are known; in addition to banana leaves and stump root, they include strawberry, cocoa, lemon, cinnamon, nuts, vanilla, caramel, salts and sugar. The proportions of the ingredients and the identity of Stump’s secret ingredients are known by only a few of the Stump-Up Company’s very senior scientists and Vice-Presidents. Ques 2. It can be inferred from the passage that [A]. No one knows the exact proportions of ingredients used in Stump-Ups. [B]. The public does not know how many stump roots are used in a batch of Stump-Ups. [C]. The public is not sure that banana leaves are used in Stump-Ups. [D]. The public knows all the ingredients in Stump-Ups. Show Correct Answer >>> To stay updated, like us on Facebook.

Mr. Fernando is correct i suppose .
Answer for question 2 is A.
Pls support your answer with reason if it’s B.
The paragraph clearly says that Stump’s secret ingredients are known by only a few of the Stump-Up Company’s very senior scientists and Vice-Presidents.
Then how can you say that no one knows the exact proportions?
Yeah they didn’t mention that no body knows so B is the answer
I agree with you Author. It clearly states at the last line of the paragraph.
In A part it is stated that No one knows the exact proportions of ingredients used in Stump-Ups. but in last sentence of the paragraph it is clearly written that only a few of the Stump-Up Company’s very senior scientists and Vice-Presidents. know the proportion so ans is B
Hi,
Recently i attend mock PTE , there questions were tough .. whether in actual exam it will be difficult.
Hello Dear;
It really depends on the exam. But you need to be ready for anything that comes. Improve your comprehension skill.
question 2, where does the passage talk about “The public does not know how many stump roots are used in a batch of Stump-Ups”? I think the answer is A
The question is “It can be inferred from the passage that”, where infer means what you can conclude or deduce from the statements.
It is clearly mentioned that few people know about Stump’s secret ingredients. So statement ‘A’ is incorrect.
Sorry, but it is not correct.Statement A is correct. Noone is talking about how many parts of stump root or strawberry or cocoa are used but they are talking about how the recipe is not widely known.
Hi Mak
Read this line – The proportions of the ingredients and the identity of Stump’s secret ingredients are known by only a few of the Stump-Up Company’s very senior scientists and Vice-Presidents.
This clearly tells that recipe is known by few Stumps-Up official.s
yes, you are right, if in the option ‘ NO ONE’ is not mentioned
as in the passage, it says that few of the stump up companies knows the secret.
that’s why option B is correct
In the passage they are saying, only a few people know about stump’s ingredients { which means some people know about it} in the passage they have not mentioned about the public they are saying “company’scientists and vice presidents”. i think that’s why answer is (B)
It’s saying word guarded that means it’s secret
And also last sentence that only president know the ingredients that means public is not aware about it
And other options are incorrect
Thanks for the post however in question 1, B and C are same.
Rectified. Thanks
