Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales   The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained EUR10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous  envelopes, each containing EUR10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church. The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least EUR190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of EUR500 inside , with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined. "I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told DerSpiegel magazine. "I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless. " The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible .and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for. "For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy. Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know. " However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? - Money Is Raised by the Newspaper - Newspaper Distributes Money to - Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes - Robin Hood Returns to the City
Ans: Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention.      Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.      For example, the inventor of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.      Like Cochrane's, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem.      You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying: "I wish someone would invent something for..." Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street, or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.      Remember to record your ideas and work. This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed.      The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways.      You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle   or thinking about it in a new way.      Example 1 -- instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of using something to protect the ground from your feet.      Example 2 -- instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store, think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own.      Example 3 -- instead of experimenting with only one solution, can you put two or three solutions together, or arrange them in different orders?      And if one solution doesn't work, can it be put to other uses? That was how yellow post-it... Question: The main idea of this story is   _  . - how to put your ideas to other uses - that you can invent and how you will be able to do so - problem-solving technique - how inventors invent
Ans:
Answer: that you can invent and how you will be able to do so
