Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 What climate change will undeniably do is cause or amplify events that hasten the reduction of resources. Competition over these diminishing resources would ensue in the form of political or even violent conflict. Resource- based conflicts have rarely been overt and are thus difficult to isolate, Instead they take on veneers that appear more politically palatable. Conflicts over resources like water are often cloaked in the guise of identity or ideology. 1, What does the above passage imply? (a) Resource-based conflicts. are always politically motivated. () ‘There are no political solutions to resolve environmental and resource- based conflicts. () Environmental issues contribute to resource stresses and political conflict. (A) Political conflict based on identity or ideology cannot be resolved, Passage—2 ‘The man who is perpetually hesitating which of the two things he will do first, will do neither. The man who resolves, but suffers his tesulution (y be changed by the first counter- suggestion of a friend—who fluctuates from opinion to opinion and veers from plan to plan—can never accomplish anything. He will ‘at best be stationary and probably retrograde in all. It is only the man who first consults wisely, then resolves firmly and then executes his purpose with inflexible perseverance, undismayed by those petty difficulties which AMC-D-CLYS/71A daunt a weaker spirit—that can advance to eminence in any line, 2. The keynote that seems to be emerging from the passage is that (@) we should first consult wisely and then resolve firmly (o) we should reject suggestions of friends and remain unchanged (c) we should always remain broad- minded (d) we should be resolute and achievement-oriented Passage—3 During the summer in the Arctic Ocean, sea ice has been melting earlier and faster, and the winter freeze has been coming later. In the last, three decades, the extent of summer ice has declined by about 30 per cent. ‘The lengthening, period of summer melt threatens to undermine the whole Arctic food web, atop which stand polar bears 3. Which among the following is the most crucial message conveyed by the above passage? (a) Climate change has caused Arctic summer to be short but temperature to be high. (6) Polar bears can be shifted to South Pole to ensure their survival. () Without the presence of polar bears, the food chains in Arctic region will disappear. (d) Climate change poses a threat to the survival of polar bears.

Recent research has shown two critical elements : ideas of purity and pollution, and not wanting pits or septic tanks to fill because they have to be emptied, These are the issues that nobody wants to talk about, but if we want to eradicate the practice of open defecation, they have to be confronted and dealt properly. 4. Which among the following is the most crucial message conveyed by the above passage? (a) The ideas of purity and pollution are so deep-rooted that they cannot be removed from the minds of the People. (0) People have to perceive toilet use and pit-emptying as clean and not polluting. (c) People cannot change their old habits. (a) People have neither civic sense nor sense of privacy. Passage—S In the last two decades, the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) has increased by 50 per cent, whereas inclusive wealth has increased by a mere 6 per cent, In recent decades, GDP-driven economic performance has only harmed inclusive wealth like human capital; and natural capital like forests, land AMC-D-CLYS/71A and water. While the world’s human capital which stands at 57 per cent of total inclusive wealth grew by only 8 per cent, the natural capital which is 23 per cent of total inclusive wealth declined by 30 per cent worldwide in the last two decades. 5. Which of the following is the most eructal inference from the above passage? (@) More emphasis should be laid on the development of natural capital. (b) The growth driven by GDP only is neither desirable nor sustainable. (c) The economic performance of the countries of the world is not satisfactory. (a) The world needs more human capital under the _ present circumstances, ge By 2020, when the global economy is expected to mun short of 56 million young people, India, with its youth surplus of 47 million, could fill the gap. It is in this context that labour reforms are often cited as the way to unlock double-digit growth in India. In 2014, India’s labour force was estimated to be about 40 per cent of the population, but 93 per cent of thio force was in unorganized sector. Over the last decade, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of employment has slowed to 05 per cent, with about 14 million jobs created [P70wate aaa 3 er 15 mie (15 fife) A af @ 6. fafefes #8 aaem, aan whee “aatftre mia Frert (garte) 87 fq) Sra A seh orion gE H sa A ‘Peta aac ate, oT eee Alora wr ea (6) ia % fee wraS et sere eT a ween seein we Ferg area He Gat Al reer 1 fo) ra aaftea & sist a Bara we a ASK SoRR F) (@) aKa oy i A eae Fas A yaa ican ti aitae—7 aaa vee TS, BA ea aa Ter ar Tate wa eH A ame & fore vain ad Oye a, ae tH ad a A ‘aan 8 yd cada sonst &, ah wa are eT caafey, sai en ard % sr fea a Fae TA wa aaa 8, a oa we Pee aR seit are Bae A, ae faur fra @ fe ara wonft, af aed eT ae a 2%, @ yard Oe od oooh eH ge Riga 8 aa aA werd €1 ee a ee a Eee Ta Pw A-STeT foam saarm 23 4 aed a wat 81 7, wee aide ar ae yee Fran 2 fe (a) "aa % fey ze seam & fr eH wt (&) sr wa sara & nea ager ee ae, fo) ard ae wee Frege 8 Poet eh aT wor A rem (@) yaa & fee ard A ope aT sree AMC-D-CLYS/71A aftete—s area #1 ORR Be a ah ae t, wa Tw PA cored ober 3 tt) aaa 4 ert 8 ofiein cm, aredt % Bee & ae Fe afte A srafera ea BH owt radi 8 ae @ ord tt aan sam are A aig ore Sa TR eH Pea ae ea waa! 8 she 8 afer A ace wae 1 a eH ayE-ah SA ae ame at A ame wa @, fare, wie wr ee aK AMT oI wre fren ta aon ae, th sea TH iT Seer FA STE 8, dare a1 qua 8 fi ont (a) ORR saa Bl Hioa sare & (b) Bah staa 8 am ete fe) aR fre sien arrers ach & (ay Ba Shem A ae wart freateritaa 2 (at) wetivit & form fea: Saf ara @ Ran Ay sik ses 43 a aa a seria & an Afr “xza’ aad farts, oh zat arn an otk sae afar A rif ar ads aan a, “ya aa rresiva % fore tan al a; fea saa a gw ‘Yee A Raa 9. aie arat & wei 4, fafa 7a aaa ae ea GT Gh TAR?

(c) India is poised to achieve the double-digit growth very soon, (d) India is capable of supplying the skilled young people to other countries. Passage—7 ‘The very first lesson that should be taught to us when we are old enough to understand it, is that complete freedom from the obligation to work is unnatural, and ought to be illegal, as we can escape our share of the burden of work only by throwing it on someone else’s shoulders, Nature ordains that the human race shall perish of famine if it stops working. We cannot escape from this tyranny. The question we have to settle is how much leisure we can afford to allow ourselves. 7. The main idea of the passage is that (a) it is essential for human beings to work () there should be a balance between work and leisure (c) working is a tyranny which we have to face (a) human’s understanding of the nature of work is essential AMC-D-CLYS/71A, Passage—8 ‘There is no harm in cultivating habits so long as they are not injurious. Indeed, most of us are little more than bundle of habits. Take away our habits and the residuum would hardly be worth bothering about. We could not get on without them. They simplify the mechanism of life. They enable us to do a multitude of things automatically, which, if we had to give iresh and original thought to them each time, would make existence an impossible confusion. ‘The author suggests that habits (a) tend to make our lives difficult (b) add precision to our lives ()_ make it easier for us to live (4) tend to mechanize our lives Directions for the following 2 (two) items : Consider the given information and answer the two items that follow.

To deliberately refrain from taking such an interest, and from voting, is a kind of implied duucly, it is to refuse one’s political responsibility while enjoying the benefits of a free political society. 24, This (a) (2) «© (a) passage relates to duty to vote right to vote freedom to vote right to participate in politics Passage—5 In a free country, the man who reaches the position of leader is usually one of outstanding character and ability. Moreover, it is usually possible to foresee that he will reach such a position, since early in life one can see his qualities of character. But this is not always true in the case of a dictator; often he reaches his position of power through chance, very often through the unhappy state of his country. 25, The passage seems to suggest that (a) (b) a leader foresees his future position a leader is chosen only by a free country () a leader must see that his country is free from despair @ despair in a country sometimes leads to dictatorship Passage—6 ‘The greatest blessing that _ technological Progress has in store for mankind is not, of course, an accumulation of material AMC-D-CLYS/71A, 18 posséssions.

But there is not the same narrow limit to the possibilities of the ‘enjoyment of leisure, The gift of leisure may be abused by people who have had no experience of making use of it. Yet the creative use of leisure by a minority in societies has been the matnspring of all human progress beyond the primitive level. 26, With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : 1, People always see the leisure time as a gift and use it for acquiring more material possessions. 2.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 Disruption of traditional institutions, identifica- tions and loyalties is likely to lead to ambivalent situations. It is possible that some people may tenew their identification with traditional groups whereas others align themselves with new groups and symbols emergent from processes of political development. In addition, political development tends to foster group awareness of a variety of class, tribe, region, clan, language, religion, occupation and others. 41, Which one of the following is the best explanation of the above passage? (a) Political development is not a unilinear process for it involves both growth and decay. (b) Traditional societies succeed in resisting positive aspects of political development. () It is impossible for traditional societies to break away from lingering loyalties (a) Sustenance of traditional loyalties is conducive to _political development, Passage—2 There has been a significant trend worldwide towards regionalism in government, resulting in a widespread transfer of powers downwards towards regions and communities since 1990s. This process, which involves the creation of new political entities and bodies at a sub-national level and an increase in their content ‘and AMC-D-CLYS/71A 23 powers, is known as devolution. Devolution has been characterized as being made up of three factors—political legitimacy, decentralization of authority and decentralization of resources. Political legitimacy here means a mass demand from below for the decentralization process, which is able to create a political force for it to take place. In many cases, decentralization is iniiated by the upper ter of government without sufficient political mobilization for it at the grassroots level, and in such cases the decentralization process often does not fulfil its objectives. 42. Which among the following is the most logical, rational and critteal inference that can be made from the above passage? (a) Emergence of powerful mass leaders is essential to create sub-national political entities and thus ensure successful devolution and decentralization. The upper tier of government should impose’ devolution and decentralization on the regional communities by law or otherwise. Devolution, to be successful, requires a democracy in which there is free expression of the will of the people at lower level and their active participation at the grassroots level. For devolution to take place, a trong feeling of regionalism in the masses is essential. Passage—3 We live in digital times.

The digital is everywhere and, like air, invisible. We live within digital systems, we live with intimate gadgets, we interact through digital media, and the very presence and imagination of the digital has dramatically restructured our lives. The digital, far from being a tool, is a condition and context that defines the shapes and boundarice of our understanding of the self, the society, and the structure of governance. 43. Which among the following is the most logical and essential message conveyed by the above passage? (a) All problems of governance can be solved by using digital technologies. (b) Speaking of digital technologies is speaking of our life and living. (c) Our creativity and imagination cannot be expressed without digital media. (d) Use of digital systems is imperative for the existence of mankind in future, Passage—4 The IMF has pointed out that the fast growing economies of Asia face the risk of falling into ‘middle-income trap’. It means that average incomes in these countries, which till now have been growing rapidly, will stop growing beyond a point—a point that is well short of incomes in the developed West. The IMF identifies a number of causes of middle-income trap—none of which is surprising—from infrastructure to AMC-D-CLYS/71A 25 weak institutions, to less than favourable macroeconomic conditions. But the broad, overall cause, says IMF, is a collapse in the growth of productivity. 44, Which among the following is the most logical, rational and eriticat inference that can be made from the above passage? (a) ‘Once a country reaches middle- income stage, it runs the risk of falling productivity which leads to stagnant incomes. (b) Felling into middle-income trap is a general characteristic of fast growing economies. (<) There is no hope at all for emerging Asian economies to sustain the growth momentum. (a) As regardo growth of produotivity, the performance © of Asian economies is not satisfactory.

Inclusive innovation can lower the costs of goods and services and create income-earning opportunities for the poor people. 48, Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage? (@) Innovation and R&D is the only way to reduce rural to urban migration. (b) Every rapidly growing country needs to minimize the divergence between productivity in agriculture and other sectors. () Inclusive innovation and R@&D can help create an egalitarian society. (a) Rapid urbanization takes place uuly when @ country’s economic growth is rapid. Passage—6 Climate change is likely to expose a large number of people to increasing environmental risks forcing them to migrate. The international community is yet to recognize this new category of migrants, There is no consensus on the definition and status of climate refugees owing to the distinct meaning the term refugees carry under international laws. There are still gaps in understanding how climate change will work as the root cause of migration. Ken if there is recognition of climate refugees, who is going to provide protection? More emphasis has been given to international migration due to climate AMC-D-CLYS/71A 27 change. But there is a need to recognize the migration of such people within the countries also so that their problems can be addressed properly. 46. Which of the following is the most rational inference from the above passage? (a) The world will not be able to cope with large-scale migration of climate refugees. () We must find the ways and means to stop further climate change. () Climate change will be the most important reason for the migration of people in the future. (a) Relation between climate change and migration is not yet properly understood. Passage—7 Many farmers use synthetic pesticides to kill infesting insects. The consumption of pesticides in some of the developed countries is touching 3UUU grams/hectare. Unfortunately, there are reports that these compounds possess inherent toxicities that endanger the health of the farm operators, consumers and the environment. Synthetic pesticides are generally persistent in environment. Entering in food chain they destroy the microbial diversity and cause ecological imbalance. Their indiscriminate use has resulted in development of resistance among insects to insecticides, upsetting of balance in nature and reourgence of treated populations, Natural pest control using the botanical pesticides is safer to the user and the environment because they break down into harmless compounds within hours or days in the presence of sunlight. Plants with pesticidal properties have been in nature for millions of years without any ill or adverse effects on the ecosystem, They are easily decomposed by [P.7.0.Hh go Ha area Rel HA PRG aha aE Feanh Petes a aE Aa erat act a, oTife daw SE woe oo aftge we oe fea, We A shag £1 srfirein gait # sche oe ore sa ara ss qenia we wean 8 fata ax 2a 8) a wl A Site Rua A are wal ate safacota Sago aT Agel & ware deat Soar ae A acres 1 tet a aay nw anes Aerie Sa Refeela (ariéigas) 8 sik Fae Ger A sa awh een creates Ba 8 Um eta facs BI 47. safe vide & oem w Prater earond aad EE: 1.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 ‘An air quality index (AQ) is & way lv combine measurements of multiple air pollutants into a single number or rating. This index is ideally kept constantly updated and available in different places. The AQI is most useful when lots of pollution data are being gathered and when pollution levels are normally, but not always, low. In such cases, if pollution levels spike for a few days, the public can quickly take preventive action (like staying indoors) in response to an air quality warming. Unfortunately, that is not urban India, Pollution levels in many large Indian cities are so high that they remain well above any health or regulatory standard for large part of the year. If our index stays in the ‘Red /Dangerous' region day after day, there is not much any one can do, other than getting used to ignoring it. 61. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage? (a) Our governments are not responsible enough to keep our cities pollution free. (b} There is absolutely no need for air quality indices in our country. (o) Air quality index is not helpful to the residents of many of our large cities. (@) In every city, public awareness about pollution problems should increase. AMC-D-CLYS/71A 35 Passage—2 Productive jobs are vital for growth and a good Job is the best form of inclusion. More than half of our population depends on agriculture, but the experience of other countries suggests that the number of people dependent on agriculture will have to shrink if per capita incomes in agriculture are to go up substantially. While industry is creating jobs, too many such jobs are low-productivity non-contractual jobs in the unorganized sector, offering low incomes, little protection, and no benefits. Service jobs are relatively of high productivity, but employment growth in services has been slow in recent years. 62. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage? (a) We must create conditions for the faster growth of highly productive service jobs to ensure employment growth and inclusion. (b) We must shift the farm workers to the highly productive manufacturing and service sectors to ensure the economic growth and inclusion. We must create conditions for the faster growth of productive jobs outside of agriculture even while improving the productivity of agriculture. {c) (4) We must emphasize the cultivation of high-yielding hybrid varieties ‘and genetically modified crops to increase the per capita income in agriculture.
