The Comprehension section is a vital component of the English syllabus in the NDA, CDS, and AFCAT 1 2025 exams. This section evaluates a candidate’s reading ability, understanding, and analytical skills by presenting a passage followed by multiple-choice questions. Excelling in this topic requires a strong command of vocabulary, grammar, and logical reasoning to interpret the given text accurately.
Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
For most people, music is an important part of daily life. Some rely on music to get them through the morning commute, while others turn up a favourite playlist to stay pumped during a workout. Many folks even have the stereo on when they’re cooking a meal, taking a shower, or folding the laundry. Music is often linked to mood. A certain song can make us feel happy, sad, energetic, or relaxed. Because music can have such an impact on a person’s mindset and well-being, it should come as no surprise that music therapy has been studied for use in managing numerous medical conditions. All forms of music may have therapeutic effects, although music from one’s own culture may be most effective. In Chinese medical theory, the five internal organs and meridian systems are believed to have corresponding musical tones, which are used to encourage healing.
