Direction for Question 56 – 60: Read the given passage carefully and answer the
questions given after the passage:
If anything, the novel corona virus disease (COVID – 19) pandemic has taught us to
rethink our lifestyles and question our need to travel to work every day. After all, in
the age of internet, zoom meetings and webinars can be virtually conducted and
physical distancing is possible. A large nature of work in cities is of tertiary nature, a
 major part of which can be done from home. This can affect the way offices function
and reduce the need for all employees to be physically present every day. Information
Technology companies are already contemplating a move of making many of its
employees work from home and make this a new normal. If more firms follow suit,
the need for huge office buildings and central business districts would change.
Apartments cannot get bigger at the same rate, and people may not have the space or
atmosphere to work from home. This would mean that more people may not have the
space or atmosphere to work from home. This would mean that more people would
opt for co – working spaces close to their homes. This could be a game changer, for it
would provide the cities to better distribute their activities throughout the spaces and
rid themselves of the idea of zoning. Only a handful of professionals are allowed to
function from residential zones, including doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. This needs
serious rethinking. Many more professions of similar nature that do not disturb
surrounding residence and have no requirement of special services should be added to
the list. This work culture would bring associated demand for food joints, cafes,
stationary shops, etc.

Direction for questions 61 – 64: Read the given passage carefully and answer the
question given the passage:
One of the biggest casualties of the covid – 19 pandemic and the resultant lockdown
has been institutionalized education. Schools have been shut to prevent the spread of
the virus and this has given way to online classrooms, a very new concept in Indian
even for the most sophisticated schools. It is commendable how easily some
educational institutions have moved to virtual classrooms, all thanks to tools such as
zoom, Google Hangouts and Microsoft Teams. But there are some still struggling to
get online. The online classes, whatever the enabling technology, are only as good as
the teachers and the ability of the students to grasp the new teaching technique. One of
the teacher felt students are actually more responsive and active in online classrooms,
compared to when they are in physical ones. This could be because this is a new
concept and they excited to explore it with the teachers. They also don’t get distracted
by their classmates, which frequently happens in a regular class. Teachers do find the
absence of a blackboard a disadvantage and network connectivity a constant problem.
We miss the clarity that a blackboard gives us, we are kind of making do with the
virtual whiteboard on zoom. Shweta kawatra, a parent who teaches in a New Delhi
school, highlights that many students have not been able to take advantage of the
virtual platform because they do not have a suitable device at home or lack a good
internet connection. It has its own share of disadvantages too. To much screen time
can be perilous for health. Prolonged online sessions can be overwhelming and may
lead to problems related to vision, body posture and sleep disorder, kawatra adds.

Direction for question 70 – 73: Read the given passage carefully and answer the
question given after the passage:
Climate change is considered to be one of the most serious threats to sustainable
development, with adverse impact on the environment, human health, food security,
economics activity, natural activity, natural resources and physical infrastructure.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the effects of
climate change have already been observed, and scientific findings indicate that
precautionary and prompt action is necessary. Vulnerability to climate change is not
just a function of geography or dependence on natural resources; it also has social,
economic and political dimensions which influence how climate change affects
different groups. Poor people rarely have insurance to cover loss of property due to
natural calamines i.e. drought, floods, super cyclones etc. The poor communities are
already struggling to cope with the existing challenges of poverty and climate
variability and climate variability and climate change could push many beyond their
ability to cope or even survive. It is vital that these communities are helped to adapt to
the changing dynamics of nature. Adaptation is a process through which societies
make themselves better able to cope with an uncertain future. Adapting to climate
change entails taking the right measures to reduce the negative effect of climate
change (or exploit the positive ones) by making the appropriate adjustments and
changes. These range from technological options such as increased sea defences or
flood proof houses on stilts to behavioral change at the individual level. Such as
reducing water use in times of drought. Other strategies include early warning systems
for extreme events, better water management, improved risk management, various
insurance options and biodiversity conservation. Because of the speed at which
climate change is happening due to global temperature rise, it is urgent that the
vulnerability of developing countries to climate change is reduced and their capacity
to adapt is increased and national adaptation plans are implemented. Communities
must build their resilience, including adopting appropriate technologies while making
the most of traditional knowledge, and diversifying their livelihoods to cope with
current and future climate stress. Local coping strategies and knowledge need to be
used in synergy with government and local interventions. The need of adaptation
interventions depends on national circumstances. There is a large body of knowledge
and experience within local communities on coping with climatic variability and
extreme weather events. Local communities have always aimed to adapt to variations
in their climate. Local coping strategies are an important element of planning for
adaptation. Traditional knowledge can help to provide efficient, appropriate and time
tested of advising and enabling adaptation to climate changes due to global warming.
70. To address the challenge of climate change, developing countries urgently require:
(A) Implementation National Adaptation Plans
(B) Adoption of short term plans
 (C) Adoption of technological solutions
(D) Imposition of Climate Change tax
71. Which of the following is against the idea portrayed in the passage?
(A) Co-ordination between regional and national efforts is necessary.
(B) The process of Adaptation to climate change does not take into account the factor
of prevailing national circumstances.
(C) Social dimensions of climate change also need to be appreciated.
(D) Combining traditional knowledge with appropriate technology is the need of the
hour.
72. The traditional knowledge should be used through
(A) Improvement in national circumstance
(B) Synergy between Government and local interventions
(C) Imposition of climate change tax
(D) Its dissemination
73. What is the meaning of the word resilience occurring in the passage?
(A) Toughness (B) Fragility (C) Flexibility (D) Vulnerability
Direction for questions 74 – 83: Read the given passage carefully and answer the
question given after the passage:
It is an old saying that knowledge is power. Education is an instrument which imparts
knowledge and, therefore, indirectly controls power. Therefore, ever since the dawn of
our civilization, persons in power have always tried to supervise or control education.
It has been handmaid of the ruling class. During the Christian era, the ecclesiastics
controlled the institution of education and diffused among the people the gospel of the
Bible and religious teaching these gospels and teachings were no other than a
philosophy for the maintenance of the existing society. It taught the poor man to be
meek and to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow, while the priests and the
landlords live in luxury and fought duels for the slightest offence. During the
Renaissance, education passed more from the clutches of the priest into the hands of
the prince. In other words, it became more secular. Under the control of the monarch,
education began to devise and preach the infallibility of its masters, the manarch or
king. It also invented and supported fantastic theories like “The Divine Right Theory”
and that the king can do no wrong, etc. With the advent of the industrial revolution,
education took a different turn and had to please the new masters. It now no longer
remained the privilege of the baron class, but was thrown open to the new rich
merchant class merchant class of the society. The philosophy which was in vogue
during this period was that of Laissez Voire” restricting the function of the state to a
mere keeping of laws and order while on the other hand, in practice the law of the
jungle prevailed in the form of free competition and the survival of the fittest.

Direction for Questions 123 – 131: Read the given passage carefully and answer
the question given after the passage:
Often, we passionately pursue matters that in the future appear to be contradictory to
our real intention or nature; and triumph is followed by remorse or regret. There are
numerous examples of such a trend in the annals of history and contemporary life.
1. Alfred Nobel was the son of Immanuel Nobel, an inventor who experimented
extensively with explosives. Alfred too carried out research and experiments with a
large range of chemical; he found new methods to blast rocks for the construction of
roads and bridges; he was engaged in the development of technology and different
weapons; his life revolved around rockets and cannons and gun powder. The ingenuity
of the scientist brought him enough wealth to by the Bofors armament plant is
Sweden.
2. Paradoxically, Nobel’s life was a busy one yet he was lonely; and as he grew older,
he began suffering from guilt of having invented the dynamite that was being used fjor
destructive purposes. He set aside a huge part of his wealth to institute Nobel Prizes.
Besides honoring men and women for their extraordinary achievements in physics,
chemistry, medicine and literature, he wished to honour people who worked for the
promotion of peace.
3. It’s strange that the very man whose name was closely connected with explosives
and inventions that helped in waging wars willed a large part of his earning for the
people who work for the promotion of peace and the benefit of mankind. The Nobel
 peace prize is intended for a person who has accomplished the best work for fraternity
among nations, for abolition or reduction of water and for promotion of peace.
4. Another example that comes to one’s mind is that of Albert Einstein. In 1939,
fearing that the Nazis would win the race to build the world’s first atomic bomb,
Einstein urged president Franklin D Roosevelt to launch an American programme on
nuclear research. The matter was considered and a project called the manhattan project
was initiated. The project involved intense nuclear research the construction of the
world’s first atomic bomb. All this while, Einstein had the impression that the bomb
would be used to protect the world from the Nazis. But in 1945, when Hiroshima was
bombed to end world war II, Einstein was deeply grieved and he regretted his
endorsement of the need for nuclear research.
5. He also stated that had he known that the Germans would be unsuccessful in
making the atomic bomb, he would have probably never recommended making one. In
1947, Einstein began working for the cause of disarmament. But, Einstein’s name still
continues to be linked with the bomb. Man’s fluctuating thoughts, changing opinions,
varying opportunities keep the mind in a state of flux. Hence, the paradox of life: it’s
certain that nothing is certain in life.
