Comprehension:
Two missions the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched in the five
months since its success with Chandrayaan-3 have both been scientific in nature: the
Aditya L-1 space probe to study the sun and the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) to
study polarised X-rays emitted in astrophysical phenomena. ISRO launched the XPoSat,
in a two-part mission, onboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on its C58 flight
on January 1. The relative timing of these launches may be a coincidence but it is
heartening because the ratio of scientific to technological missions ISRO has launched is
skewed in favour of the latter, at the expense of research in the sense of discovery.
Those science-oriented missions have all been exceptional in their own right. For
example, XPoSat is only the second space-based experiment to study X-ray polarisation,
and at higher x-ray energies than the other, NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer.
Its POLIX payload, realised by the Raman Research Institute, will track X-rays in the 8-30
kilo-electron-volt (keV) energy range and observe emissions from around 50 sources in
five years. The XSPECT payload, by ISRO’s U.R. Rao Satellite Centre, will study X-rays of
energy 0.8-15 keV and changes in continuous X-ray emissions. Together, they are
expected to shed light on intense X-ray sources such as pulsars and black holes.
Then again, the science-technology skew is a reminder that ISRO among the world’s
spacefaring organisations has unique needs and priorities. This is exemplified by the
second part of the C58 mission. After launching XPoSat in a 650-km circular orbit around
the earth, the fourth stage of the rocket lowered itself into a 350-km-high orbit and
unfurled solar panels, becoming a rudimentary satellite and orbital testbed for the 10
payloads it carried. These are a radio payload by the K.J. Somaiya Institute of
Technology and a device to measure ultraviolet radiation from L.B.S. Institute of
Technology for Women; a ‘green’ cubesat propulsion unit, a ‘green’ monopropellant
thruster, a tantalum-based radiation shield, a heater-less hollow cathode, and a
nanosatellite platform, all from private entities; and an interplanetary dust counter, a
fuel-cell power system, and a high-energy cell from ISRO centres. This is only the third
time ISRO has operated the PSLV fourth stage in this way. As such, the C58 mission
represents a union of the aspirations of professional scientists, aspiring students of

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 7

 May 14, 2024 SSC CHSL MAINS: MOCK 07

science, and India’s private spaceflight sector. This again is a vignette of the demands of
ISRO itself as it navigates an era in which a permanent lunar station seems inevitable,
drawing as much on technological capabilities as — based on scientific missions —
humankind’s knowledge of the universe.
33. What is the primary scientific objective of the XPoSat launched by ISRO in the PSLV
C58 mission?
A. To study solar flares and solar winds.
B. To study polarised X-rays emitted in astrophysical phenomena.
C. To explore the surface of the moon.
D. To observe earth's atmospheric changes.
34. What signifies the dual nature of ISRO's PSLV C58 mission, involving both scientific and
technological elements?
A. The launch of Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya L-1 space probe.
B. The simultaneous launch of two different satellites for separate missions.
C. The operation of the PSLV's fourth stage as a rudimentary satellite and orbital testbed
after launching XPoSat.
D. The deployment of a fuel-cell power system and a high-energy cell in orbit.
35. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. The challenges faced by ISRO
B. The scientific and technological advancements of ISRO
C. Comparison of ISRO with other space organizations
D. The environmental impact of space missions
36. From the passage, it can be inferred that all of the following are true about the XPoSat
mission EXCEPT that:
A. XPoSat is a mission primarily focused on studying polarised X-rays emitted in
astrophysical phenomena.
B. The XPoSat carried payloads like POLIX and XSPECT, designed to observe emissions
from intense X-ray sources.
C. It is the first space-based experiment ever conducted to study X-ray polarisation.
D. XPoSat was part of the PSLV C58 mission and aims to observe emissions from around
50 sources in five years.
Comprehension:
On January 19, the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) spacecraft of the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), launched in September, was expected to soft-
land on the moon. Shortly after the stipulated time, reports from JAXA indicated the
lander had touched down but its solar panels were not producing power, forcing the
craft to bank on its batteries. However, SLIM, it said, appeared to be transmitting data,
and checks of its other components did not indicate any damage — meaning Japan had
become the fifth country to soft-land a robotic spacecraft on the moon. SLIM, like
Chandrayaan-3, was tasked with a lunar soft-landing and deploying a rover mission
(with two small rovers) but its primary mission was pioneering. Thus far, interplanetary
spacecraft to the moon and Mars have been assigned suitable landing areas several
hundred metres wide. SLIM however was designed to land within a 100 sq. m area, and
thus its nickname “moon sniper”. In a press conference in which they confirmed the

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 8

 May 14, 2024 SSC CHSL MAINS: MOCK 07

controlled descent, JAXA officials also said it could be a month before they could
ascertain if SLIM had successfully executed its pinpoint landing.
SLIM’s partial success (for now) comes a day after a moon-landing mission built by
Astrobotic, a private U.S. company, and funded by NASA, reentered the earth’s
atmosphere following a propellant leak. SLIM also happened roughly a month ahead of
a landing attempt by another American company and four ahead of China’s ambitious
sample-return mission from the moon’s far-side. JAXA’s lessons from SLIM are expected
to inform the planned Lunar Polar Exploration Mission, an India-Japan collaboration
with India expected to provide the lander. Precision landing is valuable because it allows
lunar missions to begin closer to a place of interest, where there may be a smaller patch
suitable for landing, instead of landing further away and roving to the area. And the
moon’s surface around its south pole is mostly rough terrain. There are now five
countries with the demonstrated ability to land robotic spacecraft on the moon. These
plus the European Space Agency are the world’s major spacefaring entities. No other
such entity has a robotic lunar mission planned in the near future. Both the U.S. and
Russia also last demonstrated their abilities in a bygone era, although the NASA
Commercial Lunar Payload Services programme will be making frequent attempts, as
with the Astrobotic mission. As such, the new Space Race is currently being led by Asian
countries.
37. Why was the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) referred to as the "moon
sniper"?
A. Because it was the fifth country to soft-land a robotic spacecraft on the moon.
B. Because it was equipped with advanced weaponry for defense purposes.
C. Because it was the first spacecraft to successfully use solar panels on the moon.
D. Because of its ability to execute a landing within a precisely targeted 100 sq. m area.
38. Which of the following statements is best supported by the passage regarding the
current state of the Space Race?
A. The European Space Agency and the United States are the only entities with current
plans for robotic lunar missions.
B. JAXA's lessons from the SLIM mission will not significantly influence future lunar
missions due to its partial success.
C. Asian countries are currently leading the new Space Race, with several active and
planned missions to the moon.
D. Precision landing on the moon is not deemed valuable by spacefaring entities due to
the rough terrain around the moon's south pole.
39. What is the significance of precision landing in lunar missions as described in the
passage?
A. It enables lunar missions to begin in areas with extensive flat terrain, making it easier
for rovers to travel.
B. It is a technique used to ensure that lunar missions can return samples from the
moon's far-side to Earth.
C. It allows lunar missions to start closer to specific places of interest, potentially
reducing the need for long rover travels.

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 9

D. Precision landing is crucial for missions to the moon's south pole due to the absence
of rough terrain in that area.
40. What is the tone of the passage?
A. Pessimistic
B. Neutral
C. Optimistic
D. Critical

27. B) 'make' के बषले 'making' का प्रयोग होगा क्योंकक ककसी भी Preposition के बाष आनेवाली
मुख्य किया हमेिा ‘V4 (V + ing)’ रूप में होती है , जैस-े
 He was punished for getting late.
 Ram prevented me from going there.

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 14

 May 14, 2024 SSC CHSL MAINS: MOCK 07

'Making' will be used instead of 'make' because the main verb that comes after any
preposition is always in the form 'V4 (V + ing)', like-
 He was punished for getting late.
 Ram prevented me from going there.
28. C) Mr. Puri asked me why I was taking down that fence.
29. B) Focus' का use होगा क्योंकक "focus" का अर्थ होता है मुख्य ध्यान या केंद्रबबांष।ु पैसेज में
बताया गया है कक सामाजजक न्याय और समानता की लड़ाई अभी भी वैजश्वक ्तर पर चल
रही है , इसललए 'focus' यहााँ सही है । जबकक 'Drift' का अर्थ है धीरे -धीरे बषलना, 'Dispersion'
का अर्थ है प्रसाररत होना, और 'Divergence' का अर्थ है ववचलन या अलग होना, जो इस
context में सही नहीां है ।
'Focus' should be used because it refers to the main attention or central point. The passage
indicates that the fight for social justice and equality remains a primary concern globally,
making 'focus' appropriate here. On the other hand, 'Drift' means to change slowly,
'Dispersion' means to spread out, and 'Divergence' means deviation or differing, which are
not appropriate in this context.
30. B) 'Gained' का use होगा क्योंकक "gained" का अर्थ होता है बढाना या प्राप्त करना।
Sentence में बताया गया है कक इन आांषोलनों की मात्रा और प्रभाव वपछले कुछ विों में बढ
चक
ु ी है , इसललए 'gained' यहााँ सही है । 'Provided' का अर्थ है प्रषान करना, 'Scattered' का अर्थ
है बबखरना, और 'Invoked' का अर्थ है आह्वान करना, जो इस context में सही नहीां है ।
'Gained' should be used because it means to increase or acquire. The sentence mentions
that these movements have seen an increase in their impact and scope in recent years,
making 'gained' the appropriate choice. Whereas, 'Provided' means to supply, 'Scattered'
means to disperse, and 'Invoked' implies calling upon, which don't fit in this context.
31. C) 'Perpetuate' का use होगा क्योंकक "perpetuate" का अर्थ होता है ककसी बात को बनाए
रखना या जारी रखना। Sentence में mention ककया गया है कक लोग समाज में ऐसी
सांरचनाओां को तोड़ने की महत्वता को पहचान रहे हैं जो समाज में असमानता को जारी रखते
हैं, इसललए 'perpetuate' यहााँ सही है । जबकक 'Refract' का अर्थ है तोड़ना या वकित करना,
'Cease' का अर्थ है रुकना या बांष होना, और 'Terminate' का अर्थ है समाप्त करना, जो इस
context में सही नहीां है
Perpetuate' should be used because it means to keep something (usually something
undesirable) going or existing. The sentence mentions recognizing the importance of
dismantling structures that continue to cause inequality in society, making 'perpetuate' the
best fit here. Whereas, 'Refract' means to bend or distort, 'Cease' means to stop or halt, and
'Terminate' means to end, which don't fit in this context.
32. B) 'Engage' का use होगा क्योंकक "engage" का अर्थ होता है ककसी गततववचध या बातचीत में
िालमल होना। Sentence में mention ककया गया है कक समाज में समान अचधकार और
अवसर प्रषान करने के ललए अर्थपूर्थ बातचीत में िालमल होना आवश्यक है , इसललए 'engage'

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 15

 May 14, 2024 SSC CHSL MAINS: MOCK 07

यहााँ सही है । जबकक 'Evolve' का अर्थ है ववकलसत होना, 'Manifest' का अर्थ है प्रकट करना,
और 'Coincide' का अर्थ है समय पर मेल खाना, जो इस context में सही नहीां है ।
Engage' should be used because it means to participate in an activity or conversation.
The sentence emphasizes the need to participate in meaningful dialogue to provide
equal rights and opportunities in society, making 'engage' appropriate here. Whereas,
'Evolve' means to develop, 'Manifest' means to display or show, and 'Coincide' means to
occur at the same time, which don't fit in this context.
33. B) To study polarised X-rays emitted in astrophysical phenomena.
The passage clearly states that the XPoSat's mission is to study polarised X-rays emitted
in astrophysical phenomena. It is a part of the scientific endeavors of ISRO, distinct from
its technological missions, and aims to enhance understanding of intense X-ray sources
such as pulsars and black holes
34. C) The operation of the PSLV's fourth stage as a rudimentary satellite and orbital testbed
after launching XPoSat.
The passage describes how, after the deployment of XPoSat, the fourth stage of the
PSLV rocket transformed into a rudimentary satellite and orbital testbed. This action
showcases the dual nature of the mission, combining scientific objectives (like the study
of polarised X-rays) with technological experiments (like testing new payloads from
various institutes and private entities). This aspect of the mission exemplifies ISRO's
unique approach to space exploration, balancing scientific inquiry with technological
advancement.
35. B) The scientific and technological advancements of ISRO
The main theme of the passage is the scientific and technological advancements of
ISRO. The passage discusses various missions like Chandrayaan-3, Aditya L-1, and
XPoSat, highlighting the scientific research and technological progress these missions
represent. It also touches upon the unique needs and priorities of ISRO in balancing
scientific inquiry with technological development, indicating the theme revolves around
ISRO's advancements in these areas.
36. C) It is the first space-based experiment ever conducted to study X-ray polarisation.
The passage mentions that XPoSat is only the second space-based experiment to study
X-ray polarisation, with NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer being the other. This
implies that it is not the first such experiment, making option C the only statement that
is not true as per the passage.
37. D) Because of its ability to execute a landing within a precisely targeted 100 sq. m area.
The term "moon sniper" is metaphorically used to describe the precision of SLIM’s
landing capability. Unlike previous missions with broader landing zones, SLIM was
engineered to land within a 100 sq. m area, showcasing an unprecedented level of
accuracy in lunar landings. This precision in targeting a specific, relatively small area on
the moon's surface is akin to the precision of a sniper, hence the nickname "moon
sniper". The passage emphasizes this unique capability as the primary mission of SLIM,
distinguishing it from earlier spacecraft.
38. C) Asian countries are currently leading the new Space Race, with several active and
planned missions to the moon.

ENGLISH MADHYAM Page 16

 May 14, 2024 SSC CHSL MAINS: MOCK 07

The passage explicitly states that "the new Space Race is currently being led by Asian
countries." It mentions the participation and plans of various Asian countries in lunar
missions, such as Japan's SLIM mission and the upcoming India-Japan collaboration,
which highlights their active role in the new Space Race. The other options are not
supported by the passage: Option A is incorrect as it excludes other countries
mentioned; option B contradicts the positive mention of JAXA's lessons; and option D
misrepresents the value of precision landing, which the passage indicates as beneficial.
39. C) It allows lunar missions to start closer to specific places of interest, potentially
reducing the need for long rover travels.
The passage states, "Precision landing is valuable because it allows lunar missions to
begin closer to a place of interest, where there may be a smaller patch suitable for
landing, instead of landing further away and roving to the area." This indicates that
precision landing is significant for its ability to place missions closer to specific targets,
reducing the need for extended rover travel. The other options do not align with the
passage: Option A incorrectly describes the terrain, option B introduces an unsupported
purpose of precision landing, and option D inaccurately portrays the moon's south pole
terrain.
40. C) Optimistic
The tone of the passage is optimistic, reflecting a positive outlook on the advancements
and achievements in space exploration, particularly by Asian countries. The passage
highlights the successful aspects and potential of space missions like Japan's SLIM and
discusses the precision and technological advancements with a positive undertone. It
emphasizes the lead of Asian countries in the new Space Race, indicating a hopeful and
forward-looking perspective.
