University of Dhaka Admission Test 2009-2010 (Ga –Unit) ENGLISH
Read the following passage and answer the question I though 5:
The consequence of global warming can no longer be ignored. Islands are sinking into the sea. The entire world knows
disaster to be caused by global warming. As the sea level continues to rise, many countries including Bangladesh face
the prospect of partially or fully disappearing into the sea. The prospect of Bangladesh losing 20 per cent of its islands
would spell disaster for at least 20 percent of its over 150 million people. At least twenty per cent of the earth‘s land
space is similarly threatened by global warming. The consequences for the courtiers to be submerged by the sea partially
of fully would be disastrous. Global warming would not spare even some of the cities of relatively more developed
counties. Among them, Bangkok, Manila and Jakarta also face the grim prospects.
Climate change, no doubt, calls for a collective response from the international community. Experts have called for a
drastic reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuel. But there has been less of action and more
of lip-service so far. The United States is responsible for approximately one-fourth of world‘s carbon dioxide emission.
In the twentieth century, global warming doubled from 0.4 degrees to 0.8. But the temperature would rise sharply, unless
checked in the coming years. By 2100, the sea level is expected to rise by 60 centimeters. In the worst-case scenario,
however the sea could rise by 3.5 meters due to the melting of her caps in Artic and Antarctic. Global warming us
causing droughts in many parts of the earth. A change in rainfall patterns has become a matter of worry across the
world. Global warming is also adversely affecting agriculture.

A Brief Review of Parts of Speech
Parts of Speech deal with words, words that make up a
sentence. While words make up sentences, each of them has
some distinctive uses, and then they are renamed, according to
their use, as Parts of Speech. Parts of Speech are eight in
number:
a. Noun
b. Pronoun
c. Adjective
d. Verb
e. Adverb
f. Preposition
g. Conjunction h. Interjection
a. Noun is a word meaning the name of a person, place or
thing; for exampleAmir Khan is a great actor. Chittagong is a nice place. Sincerity
is a virtue.
N.B. Thing means (a) objects what we can see, hear,
taste, touch, or smell; and (b) abstract features that can be
thought of, but can‘t be perceptible by senses.
b. Pronoun is a word used as a replacement for a noun;
such asYou, my friend, are a betrayer.
She is a jolly girl.
c. Adjective expresses the number, quantity, quality or
conditions of noun & pronoun and extends the meaning of
them; such asPatriots are courageous persons.
Cox‘s Bazar sea-beach is the longest beach of the
world.
d. Verb is used to express the action or state of a noun or a
pronoun; such asHe is a good student.
We are going to Pizza Hut.
e. Adverb is used to modify the meaning of a verb, an
adjective or another adverb; such asShe is a very jolly girl.
Usaine Bolt ran swiftly. Usaine Bolt ran very swiftly.
f. Preposition is a word used with a noun or pronoun to show
how it is related to something else; such asThe book is on the table. Father entered into the room.
g. Conjunction joins words or sentences; such asYou and your friend went there.
I called her while she was reading.
h. Interjection works to express the sudden unexpected
feelings of a noun or pronoun; such asHurrah! We became the champions. Alas! I am undone.
As we said earlier, words are renamed as parts of speech
according to their uses in a sentence, so we cannot tell that a
word is noun, verb or any other part of speech onl y after seeing
it. To be sure, we have to observe the way it is being used in a
sentence.
I‡qemvBU
We will work unless it becomes dark. (Verb) The work has
already been done. (Noun)
The aforementioned examples showed that the same
word can be used either as verb, or as noun or as any other part
of speech.
We will discuss the identification, formation and usage of
parts of speech. But topmost priority will be given on the usage
of parts of speech, as it is one of the most important
topics of your preparation. Everywhere you will face the
questions related to correct usage. Then will come the formation
& identification of them. Formation is needed to enhance
your vocabulary skill and identification will strengthen
your basic knowledge on English. These will also be
discussed but with a less importance. In some universities
other than Dhaka University, you may notice a few
questions on these twos. That is why we emphasize most on
correct usage. So, be serious about correct uses of parts of
speech. We suggest that the students with poor English
knowledge give the most importance in correct usage of
parts of speech.

Comprehension for practice
Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions (1-10):
I‡qemvBU
It is said that George Washington was one of the first to realize
how important the building of canals would be to the nation‘s
development. In fact, before he became president, he headed
the first company in the United States to build a canal that
was to connect the Ohio and Potomac rivers. It was never
completed, but it showed the nation the feasibility of canals. As
the country expanded westward, settlers in western New
York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio needed a means to ship goods.
Canals linking waterways seemed to offer an effective solution.
In 1791, engineers commissioned by the state of New York
investigated the possibility of a canal between Albany on
the Hudson River and Buffalo on Lake Erie, which would link
the Great Lakes area with the served as a barrier to canals from
the Delaware and Potomac rivers. The first attempt to dig the
canal, to be called the Erie Canal, was made by private
companies but onl y a comparatively small portion was built
before the project was halted for lack of funds. The cost of the
project was an estimated five million dollars, an enormous
amount for those days. there was some on-again, off-again
federal funding, but the War of 1812 put an end to this. In 1817,
De Witt Clinton was elected governor of New York and
persuaded the state to finance and build the Canal. It was
completed in 1825, costing two million dollars more than
exacted.
The canal rapidly lived up to its sponsor‘s faith, quickly paying
for itself through tolls. It was far more economical than any
other form of transpiration at the time. It permitted trade
between the Feat Lake Region and Erade Coast, Robing the
Mississippi River of much of its traffic. It allowed New
York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities
as he chief center of both domestic and foreign commerce.
Cities spirant up along the Canal. It also Contributed in a
number of ways to the North‘s victory over the South in the
Civil War. An expansion of the canals was planned in 1849.
Increased traffic would undoubtedly have warranted its
construction had it not been for the development of the
railroads.

For the students we have analyzed an Admission test
Question that is given below.
University of Dhaka
Admission Test
B Unit: 2007-‘08
Read the passage and answer questions 1-4.
Giving a presentation can be a worrying prospect. Nervous
about the audience‘s reaction, and anxious not to miss out
anything important, some speakers read from a prepared text.
Such occasions are rarely a success. A reader finds it
difficult to engage with an audience in the way that an
unscripted speaker can. When you read, your eyes are, much of
the time, turned down towards your script and thus away from
the audience. You do not make eye contact and cannot be
properly aware of the way in which your listeners are
responding to your words.

Answers Analysis:
1.Here, the answer is option A. As the passage talks about the
problems of presentation whether with a written script or not,
the suitable title for the passage should be ‗Problems of
Presentation‘. The passage doesn‘t tell about mere reading &
talking, tells something about stage fright
and of speakers and listeners. But the whole idea indicates the
problems of presentation. So, right answer is ‗A‘.
2.‗engage with an audience‘ doesn‘t mean inviting an
audience, making appointment with audience or encouraging
them, rather it means making contact to audience through
eyesight. So, the correct answer is ‗A‘.
3. As from the passage, you came to know about a scripted
speaker who reads from a script when presenting. That‘s why an
unscripted speaker will be the opposite- a speaker without any
script. Here, the correct option is thus ‗C‘.
4. ‗Rarely‘ means a very few times; seldom also means the
same. So, rarely a success will be meant seldom a success.
Always a success, often a success and never a success can‘t
meet the criteria of a very few successes. Answer is now ‗D‘.
5. Answer is ‗B‘. This is a question from tense. As the first
sentence ‗our test is going well‘ describes a continuous event
meaning that the test started in a past time. So, ‗we haven‘t had
any problems yet‘ indicates a ‗present perfect tense‘. ‗A‘ is
wrong as there is a past tense. And the others are wrong as they
contain modal verbs.
6. ‗Incredible‘ means something that can‘t be believed. So,
the only option is ‗D‘-unbelievable. The else are wrong.
7. Here, answer is ‗A‘ because ‗earns by‘ means earning
something by doing any kind of job. In this case, the job is
‗catching and selling fishes.
8. This is a question from the text book and is a quotation.
So, you must have to keep the original one as the answer. Here
answer is thus ‗C‘.
9. Here the structure is- it is ‗adverb‘ known ‗preposition‘
what?‘ So, the answer must be ‗A‘. It is popularly known as the
toy train. You have to apply some common sense in such cases
whether the answer matches in the blanks or not.
10. Naturally ‗but‘ adds two opposite-meant sentences. So, if
the first one is negative, the latter one must be positive. That‘s
why the answer is ‗B‘. Only B can fulfill the criteria of
exact tense and subject-verb agreement.
11. Option ‗C‘ is the perfect translation of the sentence‗mgm¨vwU h_vh_fv‡e mgvavb Kiv n‡q‡Q | in a passive voice, as it
should have been done.
I‡qemvBU
13. This is a vocabulary based question- synonym. The
meaning of ‗subterfuge‘ means ‗deception‘. So, right option is
undoubtedly ‗A‘.
14. This is also a vocabulary based question- synonym. The
exact meaning of ‗squander‘ is ‗waste‘. So, correct answer
is ‗D‘.
15. Here, tense is related. The sentence is in present
continuous tense but indicating near future. There is also a
gerund noun as object. So, ‗B‘ is the right option.
16. It is a question from the text book, but also one related to
the determiners. But the questions from text book must be
answered according to the text book. So, the answer is ‗A‘ this
time.
17. This is also a question from the text book. It has been seen
that you have to read your text book very carefully. According
to the text, the answer is ‗D‘.
18. This is a question where to apply your sense mostly. In this
case, granted and settled are almost same words. But you have
to choose the right one based on your intuition.
19. ‗Hold on‘ means to wait for sometimes. So, if the line‘s
busy, you can wait sometimes what is being asked in the
question. The correct answer is so ‗D‘.
20. This is a vocabulary based question-synonym. The meaning
of ‗epitome‘ is ‗structure/embodiment‘. In the question, the
closest in meaning is ‗architecture‘. So, the correct answer is
option ‗D‘.

with since will be in the past tense. That means the correct
answer is ‗C‘.
22. This is a question related to ‗in case‘- a linking word. The
clause with ‗in case‘ contains present tense and the other clause
contains future tense. So, right answer is ‗D‘. if you understand
the meaning of the sentence partly, you will be able to fill in the
blank correctly.

should be singular too. As the sentence is in the past, so the verb
will be a past verb. Considering all these, the correct answer is
option ‗C‘.
24. Form has to be filled in. But the preposition ‗in‘ will take
place after the object; that is, it would look like this- fill + it +
in. This means that the correct answer is ‗D‘.
25. The structure in such case is can‘t help/ couldn‘t help + verb
+ ing. So, the correct answer would be ‗laughing‘- option ‗A‘.
12. Here is a question related to adjectives and right form of
verbs including modals. As an adjective, very was used in
option ‗C‘. as there was a modal auxiliary and a principal verb
‗stop‘ the remaining blank must have a ‗verb + ing‘ form. So,
the right answer is C.
