Part 1 General English

Directions (Q. Nos. 1-8) Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate option.

Gypsum is a common sulphate mineral of great commercial importance, composed of hydrated calcium sulphate.

In well-developed crystals the mineral commonly has been called selenite. The fibrous massive variety has silky luster and is called satin spar; it is translucent and opalescent and is valued for ornaments and jewellery. The fine-grained massive variety called alabaster is carved and polished for statuary and ornamental use when pure and translucent. Gypsite is the earthy pulverulent variety.

Gypsum occurs in extensive beds associated with other evaporate minerals (e.g., anhydrite and halite), particularly in Permian and Triassic sedimentary formations; it is deposited from ocean brine, followed by anhydrite and halite. It also occurs in considerable quantity in saline lakes and salt pans and is an important constituent of cap rock, an anhydrite-gypsum rock of forming a covering on salt domes, as in Texas and Louisiana. Very commonly it is formed from the hydration of anhydrite by surface waters and ground waters and, thus, many gypsiferous strata grade downward into anhydrite rocks. This replacement causes a 30% to 50% volume increase and results in intense, tight folding of the remaining anhydrite layers. Gyp sum also occurs disseminated in limestones, dolomitic limestone, and some shales. Gypsum deposits occur in many countries, but Spain, Thailand, and United States of America, Turkey and Russia are among the leading producers. In France, gypsum is common in the marls and clays of the Paris Basin (hence the name plaster of pairs), especially in Montmartre.

Crude gypsum is used as a fluxing agent, fertilizer, filler in paper and textiles, and retarder in Portland cement. About three-fourths of the total production is calcined for use as plaster of pairs and as building materials in plaster, Keene’s cement, board products and tiles and blocks. Gypsum plaster is a white cementing material made by partial or complete dehydration of the mineral gypsum, commonly with special retarders or hardeners added. Applied in a plastic state (with water), it sets and hardens by chemical recombination of the gypsum with water. For an especially hard-finish plaster, the gypsum is completely dehydrated at a high temperature, and such chemicals as alkali sulphpate, alum, or borax are added. Hair or fibre and lime or clay may be added to plasters during manufacture. The plaster coats except for some finish coats, are sanded.
