Why do people want to see more women in sports?
Directions: Read the passage given carefully and answer the question that follows.
In sports generally, people do not acknowledge women sports as much as men's sports. From the time of early Olympics, the role of women in sports and games was neglected. The end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century saw the rising interest of women in sports both as participants and spectators. However, compared to men's participation in sports, women sports are newer. But the world of sports has begun to see how women's sports can be just as interesting and exciting as men's sports can be. Be it at school or at college, the educational societies play an important role in encouraging the women sports. The provision of sporting facilities on an even scale to both women and men shows the new trend. This has seen a rise in the number of women participating in sports. More people want to see women play sports now than in the past because of the better quality of players.

Which word in the passage means eager to learn or unduly inquisitive?
Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.
Albert Einstein is perhaps the most famous scientist of all time. Both his image and brilliant work on theoretical physics live on today and he serves as an inspiration to young scientists around the world. Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March 1879 and died on the 18th of April 1955. Born in Germany to a Jewish family, Einstein made many contributions to the field of theoretical physics. Even when very young, Einstein showed great ability in both math’s and science. He was naturally curious and had a brilliant and analytical mind. He produced perhaps one of the most famous equations ever: E = mc² (energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared). He is also well known for his theory of relativity. Special relativity being introduced in his 1905 paper “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” before Einstein developed the theory of general relativity between the years of 1907 and 1915. Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on theoretical physics. He worked on many other influential theories and projects including: the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, Brownian motion, an explanation for capillary action and much more.
