4. Read the following passage and answer the questions below:(6×5=30)
For more than a decade, remittance inflows in Bangladesh have
been more than three times the volume of the Official Development
Assistance (ODA). However, a key concern in this issue is the diversion
of remittances from formal to informal channels. Different studies
suggest that remittances sent through informal channels in developing
countries account for roughly 35-75% of official remittances;
Bangladesh is no exception. For example, migrant household survey
data in the country shows a huge discrepancy between the formally
accounted remittances and the amount the migrant households receive
from their counterparts living in the destination countries. According to
the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET), overseas
employment reached a record high in 2022, with 1.13 million foreign
jobs. The normalization of the pandemic situation, the creation of new
job markets, and soaring demand in major destination countries have
mostly contributed to this increased foreign employment. However,
inward remittances declined to $21.29 billion in 2022 from $22.07
billion in 2021, depicting a 3.7% drop. This indicates a possible
diversion of remittances from formal to informal channels. And this is
especially a matter of huge concern amid the widening Balance of

Payments (BoP) deficit. Remittances are an integral part of a BoP
account, which records the transactions between residents of a country
and residents of other countries. Studies on labor migration suggest
that the wide gap between the interbank and kerb market exchange
rate, high remittance transfer costs, lack of financial market
infrastructure, and migrants' characteristics are some of the plausible
causes of this diversion.
a) What is the key concern about remittances?
b) What percentage of remittances do developing countries get
from official channels?
c) Why did inward remittances decline in 2022 from 2021?
d) How do remittances become a concern for BoP?

f) Give a suitable title for the passage.

6. Translation (10)
Earthquake is one of the major natural disasters. Every year it
causes a huge loss of life and property all around the world. Proper
strategies and awareness about disaster management are the need of
the hour. This will protect us from losses and help to cope with these
hazards. However, in order to reduce the destruction caused by these
occurrences the disaster management committee has laid some safety
measures. Earthquakes are caused due to sudden tectonic movements
in the earth’s crust. When the tectonic plates slide over one another,
there is cause of orogeny which results in earthquakes and volcanoes.
These disturbances cause vibrations that spread in all directions. As
there is a relative motion of these plates, there is stress built up, which
breaks by releasing the stored energy known as shock waves.
