PREPARATORY SET-03 (VERY NEW PATTERN)

Direction (Qs.1 to 5): In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been alphabetized. These alphabets are given below the passage and against each, five words are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.

 

Drinking too much water may cause potentially …(A)… water intoxication, claims a new study which has, for the first time, identified the mechanism that …(B)… fluid intake in the human body and stops us from over-drinking. The study, led by researchers from Monash University in Australia, …(C)… the popular idea that we should drink eight glasses of water a day for good health. It showed that a ‘swallowing inhibition’ is activated by the brain after excess liquid is consumed, helping maintain tightly calibrated volumes of water in the body. The researchers asked participants to …(D)… the amount of effort required to swallow water under two conditions; following exercise, when they were thirsty, and after they were persuaded to drink an excess amount of water. The results showed a three-fold increase in effort when over-drinking. Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to …(E)… activity in various parts of the brain, focusing on the brief period just before swallowing. The FMRI showed the right prefrontal areas of the brain were much more active when participants were trying to swallow with effort, suggesting that the frontal cortex steps in to override the swallowing inhibition.
