Directions (Q.No. 21-25) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The most avid users of social-netw­orking websites may be exhibiti­onist teenagers, but when it comes to more grown-up use by business people, such sites have a surpris­ingly long pedigree. Linke­dIn, an online network for profes­sionals that signed up its ten-millionth user this week, was laun­ched in 2003, a few months before MySpace, the biggest of the social sites. Cons­umer adoption of social networking has grabbed most attention since then. But interest in the business uses of the technology is rising. Many companies are attracted by the marketing opportunities offered by community sites. But the results can be painful. Pizza Hut has a profile on MySpace devoted to a pizza-delivery driver called Ted, who helpfully lets friends in on the chain's latest promotional offers ("Dude, I just heard some scoop from the Hut," ran one recent post). Wal-Mart started up and rapidly closed down a much-derided tee­nage site called The Hub last year. Reuters hopes to do better with its forthcoming site for those in the financial-services industry. Social networking has proved to be of greatest value to companies in recru­itment. Unlike a simple jobs board,social networks enable mem­bers to pass suitable vacancies on to people they know, and to refer potential candidates back to the rec­ruiter. So employers reach not only active jobseekers but also a much larger pool of passive cand­idates through referrals. LinkedIn has over 350 corporate customers which pay up to $250,000 each to advertise jobs to its expanding net­work. Having lots of people in a network increases its value in a "super-linear" fashion, says Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn's founder. He says corporate use of his service is now spre-ading beyond recruiters: hedge funds use it to identify and contact experts, for example. This technique is also gather-ing mome­ntum in "knowle­dge manage-ment". IBM recently unveiled a social-software platform called Lotus Connecti-ons, due out in the next few weeks, that lets company emp­loyees post detailed profiles of them­selves, team up on projects and share bookmarks.
21.    Why does the author call "Lotus Connections" a social software plat­form? 
    1)Because it is used for knowledge management
    2) It has a feature to allow emp­loyees to interact and cooperate with each other 
    3. Because IBM developed it 
    4.Because the service team can get in touch with the right engineers using it
22.    What meaning of avid could you infer from the passage? 
    1) Dormant    2) Unprincipled    3) Unwanted     4) Enthusiastic    5) Hibernate
23.    What is the most probable context in which the author is talking about Pizza Hut? 
    1)Social Networking did not bene­fit it 
    2) Social Networking was a big success for it
    3)Social Networking created problems for it
    4) any of the above
    5) none of the above
24.    Which of the following statement is true?
    1) LinkedIn's rich pool of corporate customers scarcely add weigh­tage to its expanding network.
    2) Social networks enable mem-bers to pass suitable vacancies on to people they know, and to prefer potential candidates back to the recruiter.
    3)Employers have a ready to use database of selected candidates.
    4)Social networks help the recru­iters in providing the informa­tion about potential candidates.
    5)Interest in the business uses of the technology is alarming
25.    The meaning of pedigree in this context is
    1) It is a rare breed
    2) It is a food used for pet animals
    3) It means full of rage
    4) To derive something
    5) A lineage
