Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of thegoverned. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it notbecause the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion ispassive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exerciseactively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed throughthe press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entirecommunity. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people toform correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the governmentthrough out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which trainthe minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It isnecessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard forthe feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall havethe real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.According to the passage, which of the following is needed from the people to have true or active public opinion?1).Alertness2). Determination3).Intelligence4). Raising their voice |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.The conclusion of World Trade Organization’s 11th biennial ministerial conference at Buenos Aires was worrisome. From an Indian standpoint, there was no loss asstatus quo continues in the most important issue: the right to continue the food security programme by using support prices. But the inability of the negotiators toreach even one substantive outcome suggests that WTO’s efficacy is under question. As a 164-country multilateral organisation dedicated to crafting rules of tradethrough consensus, WTO represents the optimal bet for developing countries such as India. Strengthening WTO is in India’s best interest.Perhaps the biggest threat to WTO’s efficacy today is the attitude of the US. The world’s largest economy appears to have lost faith in the organisation and hasbegun to undermine one of its most successful segments, the dispute redressal mechanism. This is significant as the US has been directly involved in nearly half ofall cases brought to WTO. Separately, large groups of countries decided to pursue negotiations on e-commerce, investment facilitation and removal of tradeobstacles for medium and small scale industries. By itself this should not weaken WTO. But it comes at a time when there is growing frustration with gridlock atWTO.India did well to defend its position on its food security programme. The envisaged reform package which will see a greater use of direct cash transfers tobeneficiaries will be in sync with what developed countries do. But it’s important for India to enhance its efforts to reinvigorate WTO. In this context, India’s plan toorganise a meeting of some countries early next year is a step in the right direction. WTO represents the best available platform to accommodate interests of adiverse set of nations. Therefore, India should be at the forefront of moves to fortify it.Which of the following is the most successful segments of the WTO mentioned in the passage?1). Dispute redressal mechanism2).Intellectual Property Rights3).Reviewer of government’s t rade policies.4).Agreement on trade in services. |

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.As the 23rd conference of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn shifts into high gear, developing countries including India are focussing on theimperatives of ensuring adequate financing for mitigation and adaptation. They are moving ahead with specific instruments for loss and damage they suffer due todestructive climate-linked events. India's progress in reducing the intensity of its greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 20-25% from 2005 levels by 2020,based on the commitment made in Copenhagen in 2009, has been positive. Early studies also suggest that it is on track to achieve the national pledge under the2015 Paris Agreement for a 33-35% cut in emissions intensity per unit of growth from the same base year (2015) by 2030, and thus heed the 2°C global warminggoal. Since this performance is predicated on a growth rate of just over 7%, and the parallel target for 40% share of renewable energy by that year (2030), thenational road map is clear. What is not, however, is the impact of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods that would have a bearing on economicgrowth. It is in this context that the rich countries must give up their rigid approach towards the demands of low and middle income countries, and come to an earlyresolution on the question of financing of mitigation, adaptation and compensation. Of course, India could further raise its ambition in the use of green technologiesand emissions cuts, which would give it the mantle of global climate leadership.India has set a target to reduce by 33-35% its emissions intensity per unit of GDP growth in how many years?1). 102). 153). 204). 5 |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.What is Gandhian philosophy? It is the religious and social ideas adopted and developed by Gandhi, first during his period in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, and laterof course in India. These ideas have been further developed by later "Gandhians", most notably, in India by, Vinoba Bhave and Jayaprakash Narayan. Outside of Indiasome of the work of, for example, Martin Luther King Jr. can also be viewed in this light. Understanding the universe to be an organic whole, the philosophy exists onseveral planes - the spiritual or religious, moral, political, economic, social, individual and collective. The spiritual or religious element, and God, is at its core. Humannature is regarded as fundamentally virtuous. All individuals are believed to be capable of high moral development, and of reform. The twin cardinal principles ofGandhi's thought are truth and nonviolence. It should be remembered that the English word "truth" is an imperfect translation of the Sanskrit, "satya", and "nonviolence",an even more imperfect translation of "ahimsa". Derived from "sat" - "that which exists" - "satya" contains a dimension of meaning not usually associated byEnglish speakers with the word "truth". There are other variations, too, which we need not go into here. For Gandhi, truth is the relative truth of truthfulness in word anddeed, and the absolute truth - the Ultimate Reality. This ultimate truth is God (as God is also Truth) and morality - the moral laws and code - its basis. Ahimsa, far frommeaning mere peacefulness or the absence of overt violence, is understood by Gandhi to denote active love - the pole opposite of violence, or "Himsa", in everysense. The ultimate station Gandhi assigns non violence stems from two main points. First, if according to the Divine Reality all life is one, then all violencecommitted towards another is violence towards oneself, towards the collective, whole self, and thus "self"-destructive and counter to the universal law of life, which islove. Second, Gandhi believed that ahimsa is the most powerful force in existence. Had himsa been superior to ahimsa, humankind would long ago have succeededin destroying itself. The human race certainly could not have progressed as far as it has, even if universal justice remains far off the horizon. From both viewpoints,non violence or love is regarded as the highest law of humankind.According to Gandhiji, what is the most powerful force in existence?1). Truth2). Violence3). Non violence4). Morality |
