Directions—(Q. 1–5) In each of the followingquestions a short passage is given with one of the linesin the passage missing and represented by a blank.Select the best out of the five answer choices given, tomake the passage complete and coherent.

1. Women’s rights around the world are an importantindicator to understand global well-being. A majorglobal women’s rights treaty was ratified by themajority of the world’s nations a few decades ago.……… These range from the cultural, political tothe economic. For example, women often workmore than men, yet are paid less; gender discrimina-tion affects girls and women throughout theirlifetime; and women and girls are often the onesthat suffer the most poverty. Many may think thatwomen’s rights are only an issue in countries wherereligion is law. Or even worse, some may think thisis no longer an issue at all. But reading the reportabout the United Nation’s Women’s Treaty and howan increasing number of countries are lodgingreservations will show otherwise. Gender equalityfurthers the cause of child survival and developmentfor all of society, so the importance of women’srights and gender equality should not be underesti-mated.(A) This treaty tackled and solved a number of

issues related to women.(B) Why is it then, that women still face a number

of problems on the domestic front ?(C) Thus, the woman today is ten times more

empowered as compared to a woman say abouta decade ago.

(D) Women’s activists across nations haveimplored the respective governments to takethis seriously.

(E) Yet, despite many successes in empoweringwomen, numerous issues still exist in all areasof life.

2. Research has shown that air pollutants from fossilfuel use make clouds reflect more of the sun’s raysback into space. This leads to an effect known asglobal dimming whereby less heat and energyreaches the earth. ……… However, it is believedthat global dimming caused the droughts in certainparts of the world where millions died, because thenorthern hemisphere oceans were not warm enoughto allow rain formation. Global dimming is alsohiding the true power of global warming. By

cleaning up global dimming-causing pollutantswithout tackling greenhouse gas emissions, rapidwarming has been observed, and various humanhealth and ecological disasters have resulted, aswitnessed during the European heat wave in 2003,which saw thousands of people die.(A) This though, does not bring any relief in the

problems associated with climate change.(B) This phenomenon thus is part of the climate

change problem.(C) Scientists thus believe that this phenomenon

goes hand in hand with global warming.(D) At first, it sounds like an ironic saviour to

climate change problems.(E) The answer to all our problems with respect to

climate change is definitely here.

3. Poverty is the state for the majority of the world’speople and nations. Why is this ? ……… Have theybeen lazy, made poor decisions, and been solelyresponsible for their own plight ? What about theirgovernments ? Have they pursued policies thatactually harm successful development ? Such causesof poverty and inequality are no doubt real. Butdeeper and more global causes of poverty are oftenless discussed. Behind the increasing interconne-ctedness promised by globalization are global deci-sions, policies, and practices. These are typicallyinfluenced, driven, or formulated by the rich andpowerful. These can be leaders of rich countries orother global actors such as multinational corpora-tions, institutions, and influential people. In the faceof such enormous external influence, the govern-ments of poor nations and their people are oftenpowerless. As a result, in the global context, a fewget wealthy while the majority struggles.(A) Is it enough to blame poor people for their own

predicament ?(B) What is the government doing about it ?(C) Are the wealthy ones in the nation even aware

of this ?(D) The government has already taken measures to

eradicate the same.(E) The huge gap between the rich and the poor in

the nation is now narrowing.

4. Analysts and industry pundits forecast that thenotebook market, which has been growing fasterthan the desktop market for the past three years, isexpected to overtake the desktop market by the year2011-12. A fall in prices, large deals fromgovernments and institutions, and demand from

4 | ^SfDVl lSV ,\,\vks\

consumers and sectors such as education areexpected to help the notebook numbers. Accordingto research agencies, the year 2010-11 sawnotebook volumes rise, and for the first time amillion-plus notebooks were sold in India in asingle quarter. The market has grown nearly fourtimes for notebooks. The demand is driven by allsectors and a very buoyant consumer market, whichprefers mobile computers. Entry-level notebookprices have dropped below the 25,000 mark; thishas helped break the ice with new customers. Thisdrop in notebook prices has been helped by the dropin the prices of the building blocks that make anotebook. It’s simple. With notebook volumesgrowing, the prices of the components are also boundto come down. ………(A) All this has resulted in a noticeable change in a

number of large government tenders fornotebooks; which were traditionally fordesktops.

(B) Because of this the government still prefersdesktops to notebooks and has passed tendersfor the same.

(C) Thereby making them more expensive.(D) Thus the forecast for the coming year states

that desktops will be the preferred technologychoice only for consumers who cannot affordthe exorbitantly priced notebooks.

(E) Thus notebooks will become obsolete after adecade or so.

5. Next to China, India is the most populated countryin the world. ……… Particularly, rush to technicaland higher education has increased as the scope forarts and science has become lesser and lesser due tolack of reforms and upgradation in the coursestructure and materials according to the develop-ments of the world. Also, qualification in highereducation gives added advantage to face success-fully competition in the job market.

(A) Keeping this in mind, the government hasprovided concessions in the admission fees forthe arts and science streams in the country.

(B) Naturally there is too much rush andcompetition in every field.

(C) Despite this the rush to higher education islesser.

(D) This population increase, though, has not keptpace with the knowledge expansion around theworld.

(E) In the next decade it will become the mostpopulous.

Directions—(Q. 6–10) Rearrange the followingseven sentences (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) in theproper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; thenanswer the questions given below them.

(a) To elaborate briefly on these characteristics anddimensions that the author is talking about - NRMs

are general tests intended to be used to classifystudents by percentile for measuring either aptitudeor proficiency for admissions into or placementwithin a program.

(b) Contrastingly, the CRM, such as a locally producedachievement test, measures absolute performancethat is compared only with the learning objective,hence a perfect score is theoretically obtainable byall students who have a mastery of the prespecifiedmaterial, or conversely, all students may fail thetest.

(c) In most of these books the authors classify ameasurement strategy as either norm-referenced(NRM) or criterion-referenced (CRM).

(d) Another author points out how the type ofinterpretation that an NRM offers is the relativeperformance of the students compared with that ofall the others resulting in, ideally, a bell curvedistribution.

(e) Numerous books on constructing and usinglanguage tests have been written by various authors.

(f) CRMs, on the other hand, are more specific,achievement or diagnostic tests intended to be usedfor motivating students by measuring to what percent they have achieved mastery of the taught orlearned material.

(g) One of the authors clearly delineates the differencesof these two types by focusing on the categories of“test characteristics” and “logistical dimensions.”

As the country embarks on planning for the 12thPlan (2012–17) period, a key question mark that hangsover the process is on the energy requirements.

Growth is energy hungry, and the aspirations ofgrowing at 9–10% will place huge demands on theenergy resources of the country. In this energy jigsaw,renewable energy will feature like never before in the12th Plan and after.

By the rule of the thumb, India will require about100 gigawatts (Gw)–100,000 megawatts-of capacity

addition in the next five years. Encouraging trends onenergy efficiency and sustained efforts by some parts ofthe government-the Bureau of Energy Efficiency inparticular needs to be complimented for this-have led tosubstantially lesser energy intensity of economic growth.However, even the tempered demand numbers areunlikely to be below 80 Gw.

Directions—(Q. 26–30) Read the following passagecarefully and answer the questions given below it.Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you tolocate them while answering some of the questions.

In many countries, a combustible mixture ofauthoritarianism, unemployment and youth has givenrise to disaffection with strongmen rulers which has inturn spilled over into uprisings. Young people in thesecountries are far better educated than their parents were.In 1990 the average Egyptian had 4·4 years of schooling;by 2010 the figure had risen to 7·1 years. Could it be thateducation, by making people less willing to put up withrestrictions on freedom and more willing to questionauthority, promotes democratization. Ideas about thelinks between education, income and democracy are at

the heart of what social scientists have long studied.Since then plenty of economists and political scientistshave looked for statistical evidence of a causal linkbetween education, and democratization. Many havepointed to the strong correlation that exists betweenlevels of education and measures like the pluralism ofparty politics and the existence of civil liberties. Thepatterns are similar when income and democracy areconsidered. There are outliers, of course-until recently,many Arab countries managed to combine energy-basedwealth and decent education with undemocratic politicalsystems. But some deduce from the overall picture thatas China and other authoritarian states get moreeducated and richer, their people will agitate for greaterpolitical freedom, culminating in a shift to a moredemocratic form of government.

This apparently reasonable intuition is shakier thanit seems. Critics of the hypothesis point out thatcorrelation is hardly causation. The general trend overthe past half-century may have been towards risingliving standards, a wider spread of basic education andmore democracy, but it is entirely possible that this isbeing driven by another variable. Even if the correlationwere not spurious, it would be difficult to know whichway causation ran. Does more education lead to greaterdemocracy ? Or are more democratic countries better ateducating their citizens ? A recent NBER papercompared a group of Kenyan girls in 69 primary schoolswhose students were randomly selected to receive ascholarship with similar students in schools whichreceived no such financial aid. Previous studies hadshown that the scholarship programme led to higher testscores and increased the likelihood that girls enrolled insecondary school. Overall, it significantly increased theamount of education obtained. For the new study theauthors tried to see how the extra schooling had affectedthe political and social attitudes of the women inquestion. Findings suggested that education may makepeople more interested in improving their own lives butthey may not necessarily see democracy as the way to doit. Even in established democracies, more educationdoes not always mean either more active politicalparticipation or greater faith in democracy. Poorer andless educated people often vote in larger numbers thantheir more educated compatriots, who often expressdisdain for the messiness of democracy yearning for thekind of government that would deal strongly with thecorrupt and build highways, railway lines and bridges ata dizzying pace of authoritarian China.
