Directions (76 – 80): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below them.
Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help
you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Global and transnational processes and practices have
been observed to influence and impact various aspects of
contemporary education within many geographical
contexts, and thus the fields of research related to
education and globalization are vast: they are not
contained simply within one field or subfield, but can be
seen to cross sub-disciplinary borders, in policy studies,
curriculum, pedagogy, higher education studies,
assessment, and more.
As mentioned previously, modern education can itself be
seen as one most basic instance of globalization,
connected to increased interdependency of communities
7 Adda247 Publications
around the world in economic and political affairs first
associated with imperialism and colonialism, and more
recently with the capitalist world economy. And as the
modern educational system cannot be seen as removed or
sealed off from cultural and political-economic processes
involved in most conceptualizations of globalization, the
impacts of globalization processes upon education are
often considered wide-ranging, though many are also
controversial.
Major trends: From a functionalist perspective, the
globalization of educational systems has been influenced
by new demands and desires for educational
transferability, of students and educators. In place of
dichotomous systems in terms of academic levels and
credentialing, curriculum, and assessment, increasing
convergence can be observed today, as it is recognized
that standardization makes movement of people in
education across societies more readily feasible, and that
such movement of people can __________ education in a
number of ways (to achieve diversity, to increase
specialization and the promotion of dedicated research
centers, to enhance global employability, and so on). Thus,
the mobility and paths of movement of students and
academics, for education and better life opportunities,
have been a rapidly expanding area of research.

78. (d);“Globalization’s Impact on Education” is the most
appropriate title of the passage.
79. (e); Sentence (e) is in accordance with the theme of
the passage which is summarizing the whole
passage. Other sentences are not delivering the
exact explanation.
80. (e); All the sentences are correct in context of the
passage.
81. (d);The most appropriate word that would fill the
blank is ‘grasp’ which means seize and hold
firmly. Encrypt means conceal data in
(something) by converting it into a code. All the
other words do not fill the blank appropriately;
hence option (d) is the most appropriate choice.
82. (c); The correct option is (c). ’Miseries’ is a plural
form of noun and it is the only word that fits the
blank appropriately.
Miseries mean feelings of great physical or mental
distress or discomfort.
Heartaches are the emotional anguish or grieves,
typically caused by the loss or absence of
someone loved.

freely and easily.
Constancy means the quality of being enduring
and unchanging.

pressure, or damage.

84. (b);The correct option is option (b).The statement

86. (c); The most appropriate phrase to replace the
phrase given in bold is “Despite the government’s
protection”. It is to be noted that “despite” does
not take any preposition with it. It is always
followed with a noun, pronoun or a gerund. Since
option (c) is in the precise grammatical syntax, it
becomes the most suitable answer choice.
13 Adda247 Publications
87. (b);The most appropriate phrase to replace the
incorrect bold phrase in the sentence is “lest he
should report”. It is to be noted that ‘lest’ is
followed by ‘should’ and not ‘would’. Therefore,
option (b) becomes the most suitable answer
choice.
88. (d);The most suitable phrase that should replace the
phrase given in bold is “he flew into a rage”. It is
to be noted that after ‘As soon as, So long as, As
long as’ we do not use ‘than’. Except for option (d)
none other options are in absolute grammatical
syntax. Hence, it becomes the most viable answer
choice.
89. (a); The most appropriate phrase to replace the given
phrase in bold to make the sentence
grammatically correct is “that ran her over while
she was”. It is to be noted that we will use ‘that’ in
place of ‘which’ after ‘the same’ if the verb is clear.
Here the word ‘was’ shows that the verb is clear.
Hence, considering the given rationale option (a)
becomes the most suitable answer choice.
90. (c); The appropriate phrase to replace the phrase in
bold to make the sentence grammatically correct
is “set your mind”
It is to be noted that this sentence is an example
of First Conditional Sentences. In the case of First
Conditional Sentences, we use the simple present
tense in the if-clause and simple future tense in
the main clause—that is, the clause that expresses
the likely outcome. This is how we indicate that
under a certain condition (as expressed in the if-
clause), a specific result will likely happen in the
future. Hence, considering the given option (c)
becomes the most suitable answer choice.
