DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.

Blogs, online versions of personal diaries, have been a craze for quite sometime now. Some of us, before the Internet age, used to maintain a small diary to jot down random thoughts, reflections, sayings, poems, and other such stuff. Their online versions, however, are much more than that.

The biggest difference between a blog and a personal diary is that while the latter was a very private affair accessible not even to family members, a blog is a public account, In fact the whole world connected to the internet gets to read its contents if they come across it. What blogger should keep in mind while blogging is that by displaying our thoughts, emotions, opinions and personal life in full public glory, we are revealing a part of our private life. We are giving outsiders, strangers, friends, colleagues, and relatives a full view of what’s happening inside us, something we would hesitate to do in real life. Once blogging begins, it’s difficult to control, and we end up sharing our personal thoughts and emotions that we would otherwise have kept to ourselves. The blog entices us, and we fall to be bait. Blogs don’t preserve our anonymity. They let us publish our pictures, professional and personal details, physical address and locations, etc. The biggest precaution to be observed therefore is to think twice before publishing anything, and ask oneself if one would like to make such matters public. The blog readers try to judge us, understand us, get information about us, and take pleasure while peeping into our private lives without realising it.

26) What is the major difference between a blog and a personal diary?

A) It is a mandatory to write a blog these days, while writing a personal diary is prohibited.

B) A blog is contemporary, modern and in vogue, while a personal diary is an old and rotten way of expression.

C) A personal diary was restricted only to oneself while a blog account is open to anyone who has an access to internet.

D) None of the above

27) What would be the most appropriate title for the given passage?

A) A style and means expression

B) A modern means of communication

C) Blogs its uses and misuses

D) None of the above

28) What is the biggest drawback of maintaining a blog?

A) A person’s writing skill deteriorates

B) It is highly expensive to maintain a blog

C) A person’s anonymity is no longer maintained and every aspect of one’s life is revealed to a limitless number of people

D) None of the above

29) What does the word ‘entice’ mean?

A) Attract

B) Repel

C) Disgust

D) None of the above

30) What does the author mean by the line ‘peeping into our private lives’?

A) Staring at someone

B) Entering the threshold of one’s house

C) Getting to know the personal happenings of one’s lives

D) None of the above
