CAT Question of the Day Answer the question based on the passage given below.
Alice is then called up as a witness. She accidentally knocks over the jury box with the animals inside them and the King orders the animals be placed back into their seats before the trial continues. The King and Queen order Alice to be gone, citing Rule 42 ("All persons more than a mile high to leave the court"), but Alice disputes their judgement and refuses to leave. She argues with the King and Queen of Hearts over the ridiculous proceedings, eventually refusing to hold her tongue. The Queen shouts her familiar "Off with her head!" but Alice is unafraid, calling them out as just a pack of cards; just as they start to swarm over her. Alice's sister wakes her up for tea, brushing what turns out to be some leaves and not a shower of playing cards from Alice's face. Alice leaves her sister on the bank to imagine all the curious happenings for herself.

Tip of the Day If p is a prime number and a, b are two integers less than p, then,

Last year's Question of the day (12-Jul-11) European swordsmanship was trained for duels until the Napoleonic era, and developed into sport fencing during the 19th century. Modern boxing originates with Jack Broughton's rules in the 18th century, and reaches its present form with the Marquess of Queensberry Rules of 1867. Europe's colonization of Asian countries also brought about a decline in local martial arts, especially with the introduction of firearms. This can clearly be seen in India after the full establishment of British Raj in the 19th century. Similar phenomena occurred in Southeast Asian colonies such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Which of the following is a consistent theme across the passage?
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | The rise and fall of colonisation and the influence of the British imperialism | | | 2) | How Martial Arts influences colonies to rebel | | | 3) | The decline of Martial Arts in Asian colonies | | | 4) | The causes behind conversion of Martial Arts into modern sports | | | 5) | How firearms destroyed Martial Arts |
