<html><body><h2 id="content-id-3712054698-2"><b>Reading Comprehension Questions Overview</b></h2><p>Reading Comprehension Questions have a good weightage in the Ssc Cgl Exam and the type of question asked in Ssc Cgl exam is similar to the question mentioned below. It has been solved and explained by KD Live Experts under the guidance of Neetu Mam and they have tried to elaborate the concept used in Reading Comprehension Questions.</p><h2 id="content-id-7312869540-3"><b> Comprehension On Reading Comprehension Questions</b></h2>Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

Even small numbers of matchlocks gave great military advantage in regional warfare in Asia in the early sixteenth century. Much is made of the consequences for firearms development due to the Portuguese arrival in India and further east but the role of the Turks in the development of firearms in this vast region is scarcely mentioned though they too in the same period became an Indian Ocean power with particular interests in pilgrim traffic, the spice trade and jihad. Ayalon’s first recorded use of a handgun (as opposed to a cannon) in Egypt is 1490. In the Indian Ocean the Mamluks looked to the Turks for cannon and guns with which to fight jihad against the Portuguese. Alliances made by the Turks explain why some places between India and China have Ottoman-style gun locks and others Portuguese. These two styles of gun replaced such gun design influence as the Chinese had disseminated in the East though archaic firearms continued in use among the poorest people into the early twentieth century.
<h2 id="content-id-6345789021-4"><b>Question On Reading Comprehension </b></h2>Which of the following best summarizes the primary argument of the passage?

</li><li><p>The introduction of Ottoman Turkish firearm technology played a significant and often overlooked role in the military development of the Indian Ocean region.</p>
</li><li><p>The transition from cannons to handguns was the most important military advancement of the year 1490.</p>
</li><li><p>Chinese firearm designs remained the dominant military standard in Asia until the early twentieth century.</p>
</li></ol> <h2 id="content-id-7631984205-6"><b> Reading Comprehension Questions Solution</b></h2><p>The correct answer is <strong>option 2</strong> i.e. <strong>The introduction of Ottoman Turkish firearm technology played a significant and often overlooked role in the military development of the Indian Ocean region.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Correct Answer:</strong> The author explicitly states that while much is made of the Portuguese arrival, the role of the Turks is "scarcely mentioned" despite their vast influence.</p>

<p><strong>Line to refer:</strong> "...but the role of the Turks in the development of firearms in this vast region is scarcely mentioned though they too in the same period became an Indian Ocean power..."</p>
