Each person has a different profession – Doctor, Lawyer, Architect, Pilot, Teacher, Banker, Artist and Chef. A is a Doctor and attends the workshop in a month having 31 days. Two persons attend between A and the one who is a Lawyer . C attends before the one who is an Architect. Three persons attend between D and H. Neither D nor H attends in February or June. The Pilot attends immediately after the Teacher . The Banker attends before the Chef but after B. E is an Artist. F attends immediately before G. The Architect attends after H. B does not attend in March or July. Who attends the workshop in May?

Question 78 of 100

In the sentence: "The history of cartography is enriched by individuals whose intellectual daring surpassed the mere mapping of terrain..." What is the grammatical role of the clause "whose intellectual daring surpassed the mere mapping of terrain" Read the passage and answer the questions: The history of cartography is enriched by individuals whose intellectual daring surpassed the mere mapping of terrain, embodying a philosophical compulsion to render the unknown knowable. Each cartographer — whether charting the coastlines of the Mediterranean, the interior of sub -Saharan Africa, or the archipelagos of the Pacific — constructed not merely a geographic record but a testament to the symbiosis of imagination and empirical inquiry. "Claudius Ptolemy" and his monumental second -century Geographia codified the ancient world's spatial understanding, yet figures such as "Ibn Battuta" and later "Gerardus Mercator" reconstituted those foundations entirely. Mercator's epochal 1569 projection , though cartographically distorting the relative scale of landmasses, enabled navigators to plot straight-line courses across the globe with unprecedented precision — portraying geography not merely as a record of place but as an instrument of power . Similarly, "Mae Jemison", the first African -American woman in space, extended cartographic ambition beyond the terrestrial, charting new frontiers in the language of orbital science. The discipline of mapmaking transformed dramatically through the latter decades of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Technologies such as Geographic Information Systems and satellite remote sensing enabled layered, dynamic representations of the Earth, while scholars like "Denis Wood" challenged cartography's claim to objectivity, arguing that every map encodes the ideological assumptions of its maker . Meanwhile, indigenous spatial knowledge systems — long subordinated to Western cartographic conventions — increasingly reclaim their epistemic authority as legitimate and irreplaceable frameworks for understanding place. Thus, the story of cartography resists reduction to a chronicle of technical achievement. It is a dialectic between the human ambition to possess the world through representation and the world's irreducible resistance to complete capture — each map simultaneously a revelation and an act of selective concealment.
