  1. Question is based on the following passage. Give the most appropriate answer.

    The problem, let me hasten to add, does not arise from the supposed ephemerality of digital tools and databases ...The problem, rather, is the increasing mobility of texts. The sources with which we work are often discovered in locations and formats different from those in which they were originally published and we have no way of knowing today where those sources may end up tomorrow. Moreover, for all the wonders of Internet search engines, they cannot be counted on to yield the right references every time we issue a query, because the algorithms used by search engines often base the presentation of results on popularity or even sponsorship.

  1. Question is based on the passage below. Select the most appropriate option from those given below.

    I see myself not as a biographer but as a historian of a time and region---South Asia from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century---who uses the medium of 'life histories,' of individuals and groups of individuals, to seek for evidence to probe many key historical issues. In doing so, I share many of the recent disciplinary discontents that have emerged across the social sciences, not just in the study of history, and that have encouraged the 'biographical turn' in many subjects. Acknowledging the collapse of many grand narratives of history working in part with life histories enables a more nuanced methodology that allows the historian to shift gaze from the general theme and theory to the particular and precise experience of people and groups, moving from one to the other as each type of focus checks and illuminates the other.
