<div>
	Some of them said that the reading comprehension section was moderately difficult, with passages that required careful analysis.&nbsp;</div>
<small class="brtag">&nbsp;</small>
<div>
	&quot;The unseen passages were lengthy but not overly complex. If you read carefully, you could answer most questions,&quot; shared Sanjay Sharma, a student from Noida.</div>
<small class="brtag">&nbsp;</small>

	Another student from Delhi, Pallavi Thakur, said, &quot;The literature questions required detailed answers, and I struggled to finish on time.&rdquo;</div>

A federal judge has sided with Facebook parent Meta and cleared the way for the company to buy virtual reality startup Within Unlimited, the maker of the popular fitness app Supernatural.
Federal antitrust regulators had sought to block the acquisition on the grounds that it would hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market.

Meta said it will now proceed with its acquisition of Within Unlimited.

There is a serious failure of Jharkhand in preventing the continued "environmental lawlessness", the National Green Tribunal observed while hearing petitions regarding alleged violations of environmental norms by quarrying and crushing units in the Rajmahal hills.
The green panel also directed the chief secretary to personally monitor compliance as there was "much to be desired in remedial action against gross continuing violations in spite of categorical orders".
The tribunal was hearing petitions that claimed that stone-crushing and mining companies in the Rajmahal hills of Sahebganj district were indulging in indiscriminate mining without regard for environmental norms.
