Q11 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

In biology, mimicry means that two or more organisms seem similar to each other but are not connected according to their biological makeup. Because they resemble each other, one or both get protection from predators. According to most studies, the relationship between the two organs gives more benefit to one rather than both. Usually, the two parties in the mimicry relationship together deceive a third party.

In 1862, Henry Bates, an English biologist, published a paper discussing the great similarities in color of two separate Brazilian butterflies. Butterflies of one family, the Heliconiidae, are very brightly colored but cannot be eaten by birds. Those of the other family, the Pieridae, can be eaten. He believed that predators can recognize by coloration that the members of the Heliconiidae family cannot be eaten. They transfer that knowledge to the other family of butterflies. Thus, both families, including the edible kind, are protected from predators. This type of mimicry is called Batesian.

Bates also observed that several similar butterflies of different families were all inedible but looked the same. They all were protected from predators. He wondered why this was the case. A German biologist stated that he thought the reason several species looked alike although all were harmful to predators was to allow the predators to learn from one that all were dangerous. The tendency of inedible or dangerous species to look alike to protect each other is called Mullerian mimicry after Franz Muller.

Q17 Read the passage give below and answer the questions that follow.

Originating almost three thousand years ago in Ancient Greece, the Games are a test of physical excellence, and, amazingly, they are as famous today as they were all that time ago. They took place on Olympia, the holy mountain on which was situated a temple built in honour of the Greek gods. Sports such as running and wrestling played a key part in the education of Greek boys in a society which believed that developing the body was as important as exercising the mind. In addition, the Greeks honoured their gods through athletic competition. For the inhabitants of the Greek islands, Olympia, situated as it was near the coast, became the venue for the most important of these athletic competitions.

The original Olympic Games took place every four years; men and boys participated, and running was the only event. A promise not to engage in fighting, called a ‘truce’, was made among the Greeks for one month before the Games to allow competitors to reach Olympia safely. The tension mounted as the venue filled up with participants all ______ to win. The judges had the authority to fine cities or ban their athletes from the competition if the truce was broken. There were no cash prizes, but a winner was treated as a celebrity when he went home, having so greatly enhanced the reputation of his city.

Before the Games began, oaths were sworn by competitors that they would not cheat and that they had been in training at home for ten months. Some young men arrived and, intimidated by their opponents, left even before the Games started; fines were introduced to prevent this from happening. Fines were also imposed for not attending the further obligatory training period at Olympia.

Choose the word that is closest in meaning to the word “obligatory” given in the passage.
