SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 105

SSC CGL Tier II - 26 October 2023 • English • Q105

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

On woody plants known as vines, luscious, smooth-skinned berries called grapes grow in dense clusters. In particular, grapes are grown in France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Chile, Romania, Georgia, South Africa and California, all of which have warm summers and moderate winters. Table grapes are larger and sweeter grapes that are intended for fresh consumption. To create wine, 80% of the grapes are crushed. The fermentation process turns grapes into wine. To make raisins, grapes must also be dried. Grapes ripen in the area of California in August. They are cut from the vines and left on trays to dry for two to three weeks. So, to transform them into raisins, they are further cooked and steeped in particular treatments. According to studies, one acre of grapes can make roughly 15,000 glasses of wine on average. Grapes of the Thompson, Flame, Ruby, Perlette and Tokay varieties are popular.

Select the most appropriate title for the passage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Grapes and its uses.

The title "Grapes and its uses" is most appropriate because the passage discusses multiple aspects of grapes, including their different uses—such as for fresh consumption (table grapes), wine production, and making raisins.

It highlights how grapes are utilized in various ways rather than focusing solely on one aspect like wine making or varieties.

The other titles are too narrow or specific compared to the broader scope covered in the passage.
