Part D : English Comprehension

Directions: In Question nos. 151 to 155,you have a

passage with 5 questions following. Read the passage

carefully and choose the best answer to each question out

of the four alternatives and mark it by blackening theappropriate circle in the Answer Sheet.

PASSAGE

The public distribution system, which provides food at low

prices, is a subject of vital concern. There is a growing

realization that though India has enough food to feed its

masses two square meals a day, the monster of starvation

and food insecurity continues to haunt the poor in our

country.

Increasing the purchasing power of the poor through

providing productive employment leading to rising income,

and thus good standard of living is the ultimate objective of

public policy. However, till then, there is a need to provide

assured supply of food through a restructured, more

efficient and decentralized public distribution system (PDS).

Although the PDS is extensive it is one of the largest

such systems in the world- it hasn't reached the rural poor

and the remote places. It remain an urban phenomenon,

with the majority of the rural poor still out of its reach due

to lack of economic and physical access. The poorest in

the cities and the migrants are left out, for they generally

do not possess ration cards. The allocation of PDS supplies

in big cities is larger than in rural areas. In view of such

deficiencies in the system, the PDS urgently needs to be

streamlined. Also, considering the large foodgrain

production combined with food subsidy on one hand and

the continuing slow starvation and dismal poverty of rural

population on the other, there is a strong case for making

PDS target-group oriented. By making PDS target-group

oriented, not only the poorest and the neediest would be

reached without additional cost but we can also reduce

the overall costs incurred.___________________

system?

(A) It has improved its effectiveness over the years.

(B) It is unique in t he world because of its

effectiveness.

(C) It has reached the remotest corner of the

country.

(D) It has remained effective only i n the cit ies.

152. What should be an appropriate step to make the

PDS effective?

(A) To decrease the allotment

(B) To increase the amount of food grains. foodgrain

per ration card.

(C) To make it target-group

(D) To reduce administrative oriented cost.

153. The full form of PDS is -

(A) Private distribution system

(B) Public distribut ion system

(C) Partial distribution system

(D) Party distribution system

154. The public distribution system, which provides foodat _______ is a subject of vital concern.

(A) low prices (B) fair prices

(C) as per capita income (D) high prices

155. What according to the passage, would be the

rationale of making the PDS target-group oriented?

(A) It will motivate the target-group population to

work more.

(B) It will g ive food to the poorest section

without additional cost.

(C) It will abolish the imbalance of urban and rural

sectors.(D) It will remove poverty.

PASSAGE

The desert floras shame us with their cheerful adaptations

to the seasonal limitations. Their whole duty is to flower

and fruit, and they do it hardly, or with tropical luxuriance,

as the rain admits. It is recorded in the report of the Death

Valley expedition that after a year of abundant rains, on

the Colorado desert was found a specimen of Amaranthus

ten feet high. A year later the same species in the same

place matured in the drought at four inches. Seldom does

the desert herb attain the full stature of the type. Extreme

aridity and extreme altitude have the same dwarfing effect,

so that we find in the high Sierras and in Death Valley

related species in miniature that reach a comely growth inmean temperatures. Very fertile are the desert plants in

expedients to prevent evaporation, turning their foliage edge-

wise toward the sun, growing silky hairs, exuding thick

gum. The wind, which has a long sweep, harries and helps

them. It rolls up dunes about the stocky stems,

encompassing and protective, and above the dunes, which

may be, as with the mesquite, three times as high as a

man, the blossoming twigs flourish and bear fruit.

(A) a desert flora (B) a type of desert animal

(C) a sand dune (D) a tribe of people

164. How does the wind keep the desert floras to grow?

(A) by blowing the clouds away

(B) by rolli ng up pro tective sand dunes.

(C) by blowing the heat away

(D) by blowing gently

165. The desert plants face the danger of _____ from

extreme aridity and extreme altitude.

(A) early death (B) loss of reproduction

(C) painful growth (D) dwarfism

166. What stops the desert floras from performing their

duty well?

(A) the desert sand

(B) the desert animals

(C) the rain

(D) the people who pluck them

167. What lesson do the desert floras have to teach us?

(A) how to grow with grace.
