Drug abuse can become an issue, as the person seeks some way of coping with the pain and hardship of living on the streets. This leads to a downward spiral that drives the person deeper and deeper into the depths of crippling poverty and isolation.

BMX bikes and mountain bikes are built in different ways. BMX bikes are great for tricks because they have low, light frames and short tires. Mountain bikes have a high, heavy frame and thick tires. This makes them great for off-road riding on bumpy surfaces. Another way the two types of bikes differ is the number of gears. Mountain bikes have many different gears, but BMX bikes normally have just one gear. The number of gears relates to the main difference between the two bikes. BMX bikes are built in a way that lets riders do tricks, while mountain bikes are built for off-road riding, including up and down hills.

What pattern of development is observed in the paragraph below?
Illiteracy is the greatest curse of our social life. In India about 60 percent of the people are illiterate. They spend their lives in darkness-the darkness of ignorance. No program of social and economic upliftment can be successful without a higher rate of literacy. So every responsible citizen must come forward to take part in the drive against illiteracy. Voluntary organizations may play a major role in this field. The government should actively organize literacy camps’ in rural and backward areas. The students and the educated persons have great responsibilities to carry the torch of education to every corner of the country. We all also must be determined to root out illiteracy from our society.
