Reading Comprehension
All of the following statements can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT that:

(i) Utopian and dystopian societies are twins, the progeny of the same parents.
(ii) Utopian societies exist in a long tradition of literature dealing with imaginary people practicing imaginary customs, in imaginary worlds.
(iii) Many conceptions of utopian societies emphasise the importance of social uniformity and cultural homogeneity.
(iv) It is possible to see utopias as dystopias, with a change in perspective, because one person’s utopia could be seen as another’s dystopia.




(i) Utopian and dystopian societies are twins, the progeny of the same parents.



The author begins by saying that "utopia and dystopia apparently share a lot in common .... in fact, they may be twins ...". He continued, "Yet we must not mistake this argument..." From this we can say that 1 is definitely wrong, and cannot be inferred. You can think of the proof of option 2. But the author mentions "More", who was the first author of a book on Utopia, and further mentions Tommaso who also wrote a book on Utopia. Along the way we have enough evidence to show that we have enough material in the literature that deals with the idea of utopia. 3 can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph, and 4 can be inferred from the last sentence of the first paragraph.So Correct Answer is Option 1.

Describe how accounts are used to record information about the effects of transactions? SOLUTION Every transaction is recorded in the original book of entry (journal) in order of their occurrence; however, if we want to know that how much we receive from our debtors or how much to pay to the creditors, it is not possible to determine at a single movement.

There are some steps to record transactions in accounts: Step 1: Locate the account in ledger, Step 2: Enter the date of transaction in the date column of the debit side of Account.
