Explanation

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of how much it costs to buy goods and services. It helps us understand how much more or less expensive things are over time. The question is asking what the CPI measures specifically.

Option A suggests that the CPI measures the prices paid for farm tractors. This is not correct because the CPI measures the prices of goods and services that are purchased by households, not just farm tractors.

Option B is the correct answer. The CPI measures the prices of goods and services that are typically purchased by a household. This includes things like food, clothing, housing, and transportation. By tracking the prices of these items over time, we can see how the cost of living changes from year to year.

Option C suggests that the CPI measures the prices of goods and services bought by companies. This is not correct because the CPI focuses on household purchases, not business purchases.

Option D suggests that none of the above options are correct. This is not correct because Option B is the correct answer.

In summary, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the prices of goods and services that are typically purchased by a household, which includes items like food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Correct Answer: B) Wanted to rescue him afterwards and bring him safely to their father

Explanation

The question is asking why Ruben advised his brothers not to kill Joseph, but to cast him into a pit instead. The options are given as A, B, C and D. Option A suggests that Ruben did not want them to shed the blood of the innocent, Option B says he wanted to rescue Joseph afterwards and bring him safely to their father (which is the correct answer), Option C suggests that Ruben wanted to bury Joseph alive in the pit, while Option D says Ruben loved his brother dearly.

Ruben was one of the twelve sons of Jacob in the Bible. In the story, Joseph was Jacob's favorite son, which made his brothers jealous. They plotted to kill him, but Ruben, being the eldest, advised them to cast him into a pit instead of killing him. Ruben's intention was to come back later and rescue Joseph from the pit and bring him back to their father safely. This is why Option B is the correct answer.

It is important to note that Ruben's plan didn't go exactly as he had intended, as Joseph was later sold into slavery and taken to Egypt by some traders who found him in the pit. Ruben's actions, however, still played a role in saving Joseph's life, as it delayed his brothers from carrying out their initial plan to kill him.

In summary, Ruben advised his brothers not to kill Joseph but to cast him into a pit instead because he wanted to rescue him afterwards and bring him safely to their father.

Explanation

"The Panic of Growing Older" highlights the different stages in man's life. The persona refers to the ageing process as inevitable and bound by time. The fear of ageing dominates man's psyche through all the stages of life. Our ageing is manifested in our progressive loss of physical strength and our susceptibility to illness, some of which defy diagnoses.

After age thirty, there seems tp be nothing left of hope. References to "legs cribbed", "no sudden leaps", "copybook bisected" suggest this interpretation. Only "failure" stares us in the face as we realize that the things we used to do, we can no longer do, in spite of science offering hope of longer life. Disillusionment now sets in: "Inner satisfaction dwindles in sharp blades of expectation". In the end we resign ourselves to a passive rather than an active life. This finality is captured in the line, "From now on the world has you".

Points to note:

(a) The inevitability of ageing.

(b) The ageing process, beginning with childhood 'fluttering nwings" and ending in death.

(c) Our initial hopes and expectations as we grow and the panic of aborted dreams, followed by terminal illness.

(d) Our succumbling to fate/death.
