24. S1: In contrast to last
year, the initial outlook for the southwest monsoon looks hardly promising.
S6: However, the initial
forecast made in April cannot be the basis for arriving at any firm
conclusions; at best, it may serve as a pointer.
P: The forecast probability
of both deficient and below-normal categories is double the climatological
probability, which is based on how the monsoon fared in previous years.
Q: While the chances of
excess rainfall occurring are non-existent, initial indications are that the
monsoon this year will be subnormal or deficient.
R: According to the
first-stage forecast issued by the India Meteorological Department, the
southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall is likely to be 93 per cent of the long-period
average with a margin of error of 5 per cent.
S: For the June-September
season, both the deficient (less than 90 per cent of long-period average, or

categories have a nearly equal probability of 33 and 35 per cent respectively.

25. S1: Baltimore, a city
that has a high concentration of African-Americans relative to other parts of
the country, suffers from specific issues such as urban poverty owing to
long-term deindustrialization and unemployment.
S6: And until the economic
system evolves a way of addressing inner-city poverty, such incidents seem
destined to recur.
P: It has very high crime
rates with the African-American youth of the inner cities in particular prone
to be blamed for them even as they face difficult living conditions.
Q: Unless the U.S. rethinks
its strategies on crime and punishment with respect to the black community —
incarceration rates among African-Americans continue to remain unacceptably
high.
R: Law enforcement in the
city has been characterized by police brutality, and despite a better racial
balance than elsewhere in the country in the city’s administration there is a
severe lack of confidence in the system among residents.

Pharmaceuticals market size is expected to grow to US$ 85 billion by 2020.
S6: In addition, the thrust
on rural health programmes, life saving drugs and preventive vaccines also
augurs well for the pharma companies.
P: Going forward, better
growth in domestic sales will depend on the ability of companies to align their
product portfolio towards chronic therapies for diseases such as such as
cardiovascular, anti-diabetes, anti-depressants and anti-cancers are on the rise.
Q: Moreover, the government
has been taking several cost effective measures in order to bring down
healthcare expenses.

domestic market will be on back of increasing consumer spending, rapid
urbanisation, raising healthcare insurance, and so on.

27. S1: For a country on the
growth trajectory, the public-private-partnership (PPP) model has worked quite
well.
S6: This was precisely the challenge
that the eight-member Kelkar Committee, headed by former finance secretary
Vijay Kelkar, tried to address.
P: Consider this: at the end
of December 2014, the value of all projects that have been stalled — mostly in
the infrastructure sector — stood at an eye-popping `8.8 lakh crore (or 7 per
cent of GDP) according to the Economic Survey-2014.
Q: But the model also
revealed weaknesses.
R: If you add the cost and
time overruns, it translates into another few thousand crores.

emerged as the world’s largest PPP market with more than 900 projects in
various stages of development.

28. S1: While the survey’s
findings are broadly valid, it has to be seen in the larger context of general
literacy in India — 86 per cent in urban areas and 71 in rural areas — which
needs to be factored in.
S6: In fact, they are
money-wise and know well which side of their bread is buttered.
P: Even today, for a
majority of Indians, venturing into complex modern financial products is
tantamount to speculation, which they shun.
Q: Add to that a culture
unique to India and the Asian region of saving and a general aversion to risk
which is almost part of the DNA of the population.
R: So, to say that a
majority of Indians are financially illiterate is only stating part of the
truth.
S: For them, the safest bet
on saving — most often for financing their children’s higher education and
weddings — is gold, which they understand very well.

simple measures like switching off engines while waiting at signals in
traffic-prone zones and during traffic jams, will not only help reduce both
noise and air pollution to some extent, but also inculcate vehicular-discipline
among drivers.
Q: A think-tank must be set
up to strengthen our emission testing standards.

have Euro-4 norms.

Passage - 1
On 7 to 8 August 1942, the All
India Congress Committee met in Bombay and ratified the 'Quit India'
resolution. Gandhi called for 'Do or Die'. The next day, on 9 August 1942,
Gandhi, members of the Congress Working Committee and other Congress leaders
were arrested by the British Government under the Defence of India Rules. The
Working Committee, the All India Congress Committee and the four Provincial
Congress Committees were declared unlawful associations under the Criminal Law
Amendment Act of 1908. The assembly of public meetings was prohibited under
rule 56 of the Defence of India Rules. The arrest of Gandhi and the Congress
leaders led to mass demonstrations throughout India. Thousands were killed and
injured in the wake of the 'Quit India' movement. Strikes were called in many places.
The British swiftly suppressed many of these demonstrations by mass detentions;
more than 100,000 people were imprisoned. The 'Quit India' movement, more than
anything, united the Indian people against British rule. Although most
demonstrations had been suppressed by 1944, upon his release in 1944 Gandhi
continued his resistance and went on a 21-day fast. By the end of the Second
World War, Britain's place in the world had changed dramatically and the demand
for independence could no longer be ignored.

war the British:
a) Were considering giving
independence to India
b) Were considering
expanding their power in India
c) Gave no thought to given freedom to India
d) Were preparing for the
war by using Indian men as soldiers
Answer:
c)

thought given by the British on giving the Independence to India.

‘ratified’ mean in the passage?
a) To confirm by expressing
disapproval.
b) To confirm by expressing
consent.
c) To confirm by expressing dissent.
d) To confirm by expressing
suspicion.

making it officially valid.

India Movement by Congress led to:
a) Mass demonstrations
throughout the country
b) Strikes at several places
c) Arrest of working committee and other leaders
of Congress
d) Killing of thousands of
Indians

other leaders of congress.
45. In the context of
passage which of the following statement is true:
Most of the demonstrations

Working Committee, the All
India Congress Committee and the four Provincial Congress’ were declared
unlawful associations under rule 56 of the Defence of India Rules.
a) I only
b) II only
c) Both I and II
d) Neither I nor II
Answer:
a)

I is correct as the declaration of being unlawful was not under the Rule 56.
Passage - 2
There are still a few people
in northern Europe who think that global warming might not be such a bad thing.
In Britain, where summer can sometimes seem to last little more than a few
weeks, many would welcome the idea of it getting a bit hotter. Unfortunately
things are not so simple. Global warming doesn't just mean that the world will
slowly get warmer. Paradoxically, it could cause certain areas to get colder -
a lot colder. The latest predictions are that northern Europe could even be
plunged into an ice age. While areas of south-eastern Europe, such as Greece,
would continue to get hotter and drier, Britain could find itself, in the
winter months at least, surrounded by sea ice. The reason for this concerns the
Greenland ice sheet. This is one of the biggest expanses of ice in the world -
around 1,500km long and 600km wide. It is so big that if it all melted sea
levels would rise by 7 meters. Due to rising emissions of greenhouse gases,
such as carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels, this ice sheet is
melting at an alarming rate.
46. Why people of Northern
Europe think that global warming might not be such a bad thing?
a) It will make the weather
of Northern Europe colder.
