Directions 51-60) Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Certain words are given in BOLD to help you locate them while answering same of the
questions.

Rural development in India has witnessed several changes over the years in its emphasis,
approaches, strategies and programmes. It has assumed a new dimension and perspective as
a consequence. Rural development can be richer and more meaningful only through the
participation of clienteles of development. Just as implementation is the TOUCHSTONE for
planning, people's participation is the centrepiece in rural development. People's
participation is one of the foremost prerequisites of development process both from
procedural and philosophical perspectives. For the development planners and administrators,
it is important to solicit the participation of different groups of rural people, to make the plans
participatory.
Rural development aims at improving rural people's livelihoods in an EQUITABLE and
sustainable manner, both socially and environmentally, through better access to assets and
services, and control over productive capital.
The basic objectives of Rural Development Programmes have been ALLEVIATION of poverty
and unemployment through creation of basic social and economic infrastructure, provision of
training to rural unemployed you and providing employment to marginal farmers/labourers
to discourage seasonal and permanent migration to urban areas.
Rural development is the main pillar of nation's development. In spite of rapid urbanisation,
a large section of our population still lives in the villages. Secondly, rural India has lagged
behind in development because of many historical factors. Though the 11th Plan began in
very favourable circumstances with the economy having grown at the rate of 7.7% per year
in the 10th Plan period, there still existed a big challenge to correct the developmental
imbalances and to accord due priority to development in rural areas. Ministry of Rural
Development is implementing a number of programmes aimed at sustainable holistic
development in rural areas. The thrust of these programmes is on all-round economic and

18 | P a g e w w w . e d u t a p . c o . i n Query? hello@edutap.co.in 8146207241


social transformation in rural areas through a multi-pronged strategy aiming to reach out to
the most disadvantaged sections of the society.
Although concerted efforts have been initiated by the Government of India through several
plans and measures to alleviate poverty in rural India, there still remains much more to be
done to bring prosperity in the lives of the people in rural areas. At present, technology
dissemination is uneven and slow in the rural areas. Good efforts of organisations developing
technologies, devices and products for rural areas could not yield high success. Experiences
of many countries suggest that technological development fuelled by demand has a higher
dissemination rate. However, in India, technology developers for rural areas have been
catering to needs, rather than creating demand. There is no industry-linkage machinery to
create demand-based-technology market for rural communities. Besides, there is also an
imbalance between strategies and effective management programmes. PROPAGATION of
technology/schemes for rural development is slow and there is a lacking in wider participation
of different stakeholders. An ideal approach may, therefore, include the government,
panchayats, village personnel, researchers, industries, NGOs and private companies to not
only help in reducing this imbalance, but also to have a multiplier effect on the overall
economy.

against each number and fill up the blanks with appropriate words/sentences to make the
paragraph meaningful.
"The first thing you ____ 66____, if you look at a map, is that the Arctic — unlike the Antarctic
— is an ocean surrounded by continents," Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College
London, told Live Science. Firstly, this means there's a huge quantity of ____ 67 ____ material
available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis
of what will ____ 68 ____ become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents
means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust, which makes up
about 50% of its oceanic area, Fraser explained. That's significant because continental crust
— as ____ 69 ____ to ocean crust, which makes up the rest of the area — typically contains
deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks, he said.
Here, it gets ____ 70____ in shale and preserved in 'anoxic' waters, meaning they contain
little oxygen. "Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But
if the sea is deep enough, the ocean will be stratified, meaning the oxygenated waters at the
top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base," Fraser explained.

(Directions 76-80): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
The study of climate change has established retreating glaciers and rising global temperatures
from a number of data sources. Establishing the influence of mankind upon these effects has
been more difficult, because the climate is subject to oscillations that are much longer in
duration than our record of direct temperature measurements, which extends back only
about 150 years.
By drilling and conducting chemical and physical studies of ice cores on six of the seven
continents, scientists have developed a method of estimating climatic information that had
previously been thought inaccessible. Ice cores removed from the earth's crust and studied
in order to draw such inferences are termed paleo-proxies. The values of various climatic
variables at a particular time and place can be inferred through some form of proxy analysis
in a given ice core sample. For example, deuterium excess indicates humidity levels, electrical
conductivity indicates volcanic activity, beryllium levels indicate solar activity, and particle size
and concentration indicate wind speeds. Temperature, in particular, can be inferred from the
ratios of water molecules composed of stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen, namely

26 | P a g e w w w . e d u t a p . c o . i n Query? hello@edutap.co.in 8146207241


1H2H16O and 1H218O. Because molecules consisting of these isotopes have slightly different
weights than their more common counterparts, their concentration in the ice core in a given
epoch depends on the condensation temperature prevailing at the time. This technique
enables scientists to estimate the air temperature of condensation when the snow fell and
establish variations in temperature over a series of multiple samples.
One advantage of using ice cores as a paleo-proxy is that ice core samples can be extracted
from across the world using different drilling techniques, for analysis either on-site or in a
laboratory, with results that can be compared to each other and stitched into a coherent
global picture. The primary sources of ice cores are the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland,
whose thickness allows scientists to extract long cores representing time spans of up to
100,000 or even 400,000 years. Nevertheless, samples representing spans of multiple
centuries have been extracted more recently at low latitudes--for example, at Mt.
Kilimanjaro, in the Andes Mountains, and on the Himalayan plateau. Depending on the
objectives of the project and the nature of the ice core, scientists use a variety of types of drill
ranging from hand-powered auger drill to electro-mechanical drills. A limitation of using ice
cores is that they represent data for conditions during snowfall only. Periods bereft of
snowfall will fail to leave a record in the ice and can even disrupt the essential step of dating
the samples. To mitigate this problem, multiple cores are typically extracted from nearby
locations. A more critical limitation of the ice core method, one indicative of the larger
problem at hand, is that as ice fields continue to retreat, the ability to measure in some
locations will disappear entirely.
Q76. In the passage, the author is primarily interested in
A. describing the data that supports a scientific theory
B. illustrating how a research method has generated results that challenge an accepted theory
C. arguing that data obtained from a particular research method are as useful as data
obtained directly
D. describing a scientific challenge and a research technique to address that challenge
E. providing an overall evaluation of a research technique
Q77. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following
statements about using ice cores as paleo-proxies?
A. It is the only feasible method to collect climate data.
B. It yields data that are insufficient to determine the influence of mankind on retreating
glaciers.
C. It should not be widely adopted, since it will be impossible in the near future.
D. It is one of multiple valid sources of data on the climate.
E. It yields unreliable data about global temperature but has advanced the state of our
scientific knowledge.
Q78. It can be inferred from the passage that the technique of using ice cores to determine
historical temperatures would be less advantageous if which of the following were true?

27 | P a g e w w w . e d u t a p . c o . i n Query? hello@edutap.co.in 8146207241


A. It indicated different temperatures at different times for a particular location, according to
different isotope concentrations in the sample.
B. It indicated different results at the same location, according to differing extraction methods
of the samples.
C. It yielded information dating back only 80,000 years in most locations.
D. It indicated that the ratios of oxygen isotopes in the air in a given location varied over time.
E. It indicated that ice sheets were not retreating.
Q79. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the ice cores extracted at
low latitudes?
A. They indicate that sediments found during an ice age contain more calcium carbonate than
sediments formed at other times.
B. They are less reliable than the evidence from rocks on land in determining the volume of
land ice.
C. They can be used to deduce the relative volume of land ice that was present when the
sediment was laid down.
D. They are more unpredictable during an ice age than in other climatic conditions.
E. They can be used to determine atmospheric conditions at various times in the past.
Q80. It can be inferred from the passage that the air temperature of condensation at a time
in the past when snow fell
A. can be determined from the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in the air
