(This passage is adapted from an article published in 1981.)
The term "remote sensing" refers to the techniques of measurement and interpretation of phenomena from a distance. Prior to the mid-1960's the interpretation of film images was the primary means for remote sensing of the Earth's geologic features. With the development of the optomechanical scanner, scientists began to construct digital multispectral images using data beyond the sensitivity range of visible light photography. These images are constructed by mechanically aligning pictorial representations of such phenomena as the reflection of light waves outside the visible spectrum, the refraction of radio waves, and the daily changes in temperature in areas on the Earth's surface. Digital multispectral imaging has now become the basic tool in geologic remote sensing from satellites.
The advantage of digital over photographic imaging is evident: the resulting numerical data are precisely known, and digital data are not subject to the vagaries of difficult-to-control chemical processing. With digital processing, it is possible to combine a large number of spectral images. The acquisition of the first multispectral digital data set from the multispectral scanner (MSS) aboard the satellite Landsat in 1972 consequently attracted the attention of the entire geologic community. Landsat MSS data are now being applied to a variety of geologic problems that are difficult to solve by conventional methods alone. These include specific problems in mineral and energy resource exploration and the charting of glaciers and shallow seas.
A more fundamental application of remote sensing is to augment conventional methods for geologic mapping of large areas. Regional maps present compositional, structural, and chronological information for reconstructing geologic evolution. Such reconstructions have important practical applications because the conditions under which rock units and other structural features are formed influence the occurrence of ore and petroleum deposits and affect the thickness and integrity of the geologic media in which the deposits are found.
Geologic maps incorporate a large, varied body of specific field and laboratory measurements, but the maps must be interpretative because field measurements are always limited by rock exposure, accessibility and labor resources. With remote-sensing techniques it is possible to obtain much geologic information more efficiently than it can be obtained on the ground. These techniques also facilitate overall interpretation. Since detailed geologic mapping is generally conducted in small areas, the continuity of regional features that have intermittent and variable expressions is often not recognized, but in the comprehensive views of Landsat images these continuities are apparent. However, some critical information cannot be obtained through remote sensing, and several characteristics of the Landsat MSS impose limitations on the acquisition of diagnostic data. Some of these limitations can be overcome by designing satellite systems specifically for geologic purposes; but, to be most effective, remote-sensing data must still be combined with data from field surveys and laboratory tests, the techniques of the earlier twentieth century.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This is a "word in context" question. We need to understand why the author chose the word "interpretative" to describe geologic maps. The explanation is usually provided in the sentence itself or the surrounding sentences.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
The passage states, "...the maps must be interpretative because field measurements are always limited by rock exposure, accessibility and labor resources." The word "because" explicitly gives the reason. We need to find the answer choice that best paraphrases this reason.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
- The reason given is that field measurements are "limited." This means the data gathered on the ground is inherently incomplete.
- When data is incomplete, geologists must make educated guesses or interpretations to fill in the gaps and draw a coherent map.
- (C) This option perfectly captures this idea. "Incomplete data from field observations" is a direct paraphrase of measurements being "limited by rock exposure, accessibility and labor resources."
- (A) and (B) focus on the source of the data, but the key issue raised by the author is the incompleteness of the data, whatever its source.
- (D) and (E) describe characteristics of some maps but are not the reason the author gives for why they are "interpretative."
Step 4: Final Answer:
The author uses the word "interpretative" to indicate that geologists must infer or deduce the full picture from the partial data they are able to collect in the field.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This is an inference question asking about a disadvantage of the older, photographic method. The passage contrasts photography with the newer digital method. The disadvantages of the old method are often presented as the advantages of the new one.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Find the part of the passage where the author compares digital and photographic imaging. The text will state an advantage of digital imaging which, by implication, is a disadvantage of photographic imaging.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
- Lines 15-18 state the "advantage of digital over photographic imaging."
- It says: "...digital data are not subject to the vagaries of difficult-to-control chemical processing."
- If digital data is advantageous because it is not subject to chemical processing, we can infer that photographic data is subject to chemical processing, and that this process is a disadvantage (it's "difficult-to-control").
- (C) This option correctly identifies this inferred disadvantage.
- (A), (B), and (E) are not mentioned in the passage as disadvantages.
- (D) is incorrect; the passage implies digital data can be used for reconstruction, but not that photography is always enhanced this way.
Step 4: Final Answer:
The passage highlights the benefit of digital data being free from the problems of chemical processing, which allows us to infer that the necessity of chemical processing is a major disadvantage of the older photographic method.

Top Questions on Reading Comprehension
- Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, was right when he said the language of Europe is transla tion. Netflix and other deep-pocketed global firms speak it well. Just as the EU employs a small army of translators and interpreters to turn intricate laws or impassioned speeches of Romanian MEPs into the EU’s 24 official languages, so do the likes of Netflix. It now offers dubbing in 34 languages and subtitling in a few more. The economics of European productions are more appealing, too. American audiences are more willing than before to give dubbed or subtitled viewing a chance. This means shows such as ”Lupin”, a French crime caper on Netflix, can become global hits. In 2015, about 75percent of Net flix’s original content was American; now the figure is half, according to Ampere, a media analysis company. Netflix has about 100 productions under way in Europe, which is more than big public broadcasters in France or Germany. Not everything works across borders. Comedy sometimes struggles. Whodunits and bloodthirsty maelstroms between arch Ro mans and uppity tribesmen have a more universal appeal. Some do it better than others. Barbarians aside, German television is not always built for export, says one executive, being polite. A bigger problem is that national broadcasters still dominate. Streaming services, such as Netflix or Disney+, account for about a third of all viewing hours, even in markets where they are well-established. Europe is an ageing continent. The generation of teens staring at phones is outnumbered by their elders who prefer to gawp at the box. In Brussels and national capitals, the prospect of Netflix as a cultural hegemon is seen as a threat. ”Cultural sovereignty” is the watchword of European executives worried that the Americans will eat their lunch. To be fair, Netflix content sometimes seems stuck in an uncanny valley somewhere in the mid-Atlantic, with local quirks stripped out. Netflix originals tend to have fewer specific cultural references than shows produced by domestic rivals, according to Enders, a market analyst. The company used to have an imperial model of commissioning, with executives in Los Angeles cooking up ideas French people might like. Now Netflix has offices across Europe. But ultimately the big decisions rest with American executives. This makes European politicians nervous. They should not be. An irony of European integration is that it is often American companies that facilitate it. Google Translate makes European newspapers comprehensible, even if a little clunky, for the continent’s non-polyglots. American social-media companies make it easier for Europeans to talk politics across borders. (That they do not always like to hear what they say about each other is another matter.) Now Netflix and friends pump the same content into homes across a continent, making culture a cross-border endeavour, too. If Europeans are to share a currency, bail each other out in times of financial need and share vaccines in a pandemic, then they need to have something in common—even if it is just bingeing on the same series. Watching fictitious northern and southern Europeans tear each other apart 2,000 years ago beats doing so in reality

- EL GIGANTE EGOÍSTA
Al volver del colegio, todas las tardes, tenían los niños la costumbre de ir a jugar al jardín del gigante.
Era un jardín grande y solitario, con un suave y verde césped. Brillaban hermosas flores sobre el suelo, y había doce árboles que en Primavera se cubrían con delicadas flores de un blanco rosado y que en Otoño daban jugosos frutos.
Los pájaros, posados sobre las ramas, cantaban tan deliciosamente que los niños solían interrumpir sus juegos para escucharlos.
Qué felices somos aquí, se decían unos a otros.
Un día volvió el gigante. Había ido a visitar a su amigo el ogro de Cornualles, pasando siete años en su casa. Al cabo de los siete años dijo todo lo que tenía que decir, pues su conversación era limitada, y decidió volver a su castillo.
Al llegar, vio a los niños que jugaban en el jardín. -¿Qué hacéis ahí? -Les gritó con voz desagradable.
Y los niños huyeron.
-Mi jardín es para mí solo -prosiguió el gigante, todos deben entenderlo así, y no permito que nadie que no sea yo se divierta en él. Entonces lo cercó con altas murallas y puso el siguiente cartelón:

Un accidente en la carretera
En los últimos cinco meses se ha producido una gran cantidad de accidentes vehiculares en las carreteras. En la mayoría de casos se debe a la negligencia del conductor del vehículo, por no respetar las señales de tránsito o quedarse dormido al volante. Sin embargo, el accidente de Víctor ocurrió por razones muy diferentes.
Víctor López conducía su coche en la carretera. Se dirigía a la casa de sus padres, que se encontraban mal de salud. Él estaba acompañado por su esposa, Juana García, y sus dos hijos. El viaje iba bien hasta que empezó a llover a las 8:00 de la tarde. Víctor tuvo que reducir la velocidad del coche para evitar un accidente. Después de que la lluvia paró, muchos animales empezaron a cruzar la pista, pero Víctor no los podía ver con claridad porque había neblina en el aire. Víctor estaba muy nervioso, ya que no quería tener un accidente y poner en riesgo a su familia o a algún animal.
A pesar de que Víctor fue muy cuidadoso al conducir, no vio que una oveja cruzó la pista en medio de la noche. Al tratar de esquivarla, chocó su vehículo contra un camión a las 11:38 de la noche. Nadie resultó herido, pero todos estaban muy asustados. Quedó claro que las autoridades necesitaban mejorar la iluminación en la carretera durante la noche.- CUET (PG) - 2025
