Passage 1

I grew up in a small town not far from Kalimpong. In pre-liberalization India, everything arrived late: not just material things but also ideas. Magazines — old copies of Reader’s Digest and National Geographic — arrived late too, after the news had become stale by months or, often, years. This temporal gap turned journalism into literature, news into legend, and historical events into something akin to plotless stories. But like those
who knew no other life, we accepted this as the norm. The dearth of reading material in towns and villages in socialist India is hard to imagine, and it produced two categories of people: those who stopped reading after school or college, and those — including children — who read anything they could find. I read road signs with the enthusiasm that attaches to reading thrillers. When the iterant kabadiwala, collector of papers,
magazines, and rejected things, visited our neighbourhood, I rushed to the house where he was doing business.

He bought things at unimaginably low prices from those who’d stopped having any use for them, and I rummaged through his sacks of old magazines. Sometimes, on days when business was good, he allowed me a couple of copies of Sportsworld magazine for free. I’d run home and, ignoring my mother’s scolding, plunge right in — consuming news about India’s victory in the Benson and Hedges Cup. Two takeaways from these experiences have marked my understanding of the provincial reader’s life: the sense of belatedness, of everything coming late, and the desire for pleasure in language. Speaking of belatedness, the awareness of having been born at the wrong time in history, of inventing things that had already been discovered elsewhere, far away, without our knowledge or cooperation, is a moment of epiphany and deep sadness. I remember a professor’s choked voice, narrating to me how all the arguments he’d made in his doctoral dissertation, written over many, many years of hard work (for there indeed was a time when PhDs were written over decades), had suddenly come to naught after he’d discovered the work of C.W.E. Bigsby.

This, I realised as I grew older, was one of the characteristics of provincial life: that they (usually males) were saying trite things with the confidence of someone declaring them for the first time. I, therefore, grew up surrounded by would-be Newtons who claimed to have discovered gravity (again). There’s a deep sense of tragedy attending this sort of thing — the sad embarrassment of always arriving after the party is over. And there’s a harsh word for that sense of belatedness: “dated.” What rescues it is the unpredictability of these anachronistic “discoveries” — the randomness and haphazardness involved in mapping connections among thoughts and ideas, in a way that hasn’t yet been professionalised.

1. What use was the kabadiwala (wastepicker) to the author?
(A) The kabadiwala bought up all her magazines.

(B) The kabadiwala’s stock of books and magazines were of interest to the
author.

(C) The kabadiwala was about to steal the author’s magazines.

(D) The author ordered books online which the kabadiwala delivered.
2. What according to the author is essential about the experience of being a ‘provincial reader’?
(A) Belatedness in the sense of coming late for everything.

(B) Over-eagerness.

(C) Accepting a temporal gap between what was current in the wider world and
the time at which these arrived in the provincial location.

(D) None of the above
3. Why did the author feel a sense of epiphany and deep sadness?
(A) Because the things that felt special and unique to the author, were already
established and accepted thought in the wider world.

(B) Because the author was less well-read than others.

(C) Because the author missed being in a big city.

(D) All the above
4. What does the word ‘anachronistic’ as used in the passage, mean?
(A) Rooted in a non-urban setting

(B) Related to a mofussil area

(C) Connected with another time

(D) Opposed to prevailing sensibilities
5. Which of the following options captures the meaning of the last sentence best?
(A) Though the author feels provincial, she pretends to be from the metropolis.

(B) Though the author feels dated in her access to intellectual ideas, her lack
of metropolitan sophistication lets her engage with the ideas with some
originality.

(C) Though the author is aware of the limitedness of her knowledge, she is
confident and can hold her own in a crowd. She also proud of her roots in the
small town.

(D) All the above

Passage 3

Climate change is considered to be one of the most serious threats to sustainable development, with adverse impact on the environment, human health, food security, economic activity, natural resources and physical infrastructure. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the effects of climate change have already been observed, and scientific findings indicate that precautionary and prompt action is necessary. Vulnerability to climate change is not just a function of geography or dependence on natural resources; it also has social, economic and political dimensions which influence how climate change affects different groups. Poor people rarely have insurance to cover loss of property due to natural calamines i.e. drought, floods, super cyclones etc. The poor communities are already struggling to cope with the existing challenges of poverty and climate variability and climate change could push many beyond their ability to cope or even survive. It is vital that these communities are helped to adapt to the changing dynamics of nature. Adaptation is a process through which societies make themselves better able to cope with an uncertain future. Adapting to climate change entails taking the right measures to reduce the negative effect of climate change (or exploit the positive ones) by making the appropriate adjustments and changes. These range from technological options such as increased sea defences or flood proof houses on stilts to behavioural change at the individual level, such as reducing water use in times of drought. Other strategies include early warning systems for extreme events, better water management, improved risk management, various insurance options and biodiversity conservation. Because of the speed at which climate change is happening due to global temperature rise, it is urgent that the vulnerability of developing countries to climate change is reduced and their capacity to adapt is increased and national adaptation plans are implemented. Communities must build their resilience, including adopting appropriate technologies while making the most of traditional knowledge, and diversifying their livelihoods to cope with current and future climate stress. Local coping strategies and knowledge need to be used in synergy with government and local interventions. The need of adaptation interventions depends on national circumstances. There is a large body of knowledge and experience within local communities on coping with climatic variability and extreme weather events. Local communities have always aimed to adapt to variations in their climate. Local coping strategies are an important element of planning for adaptation. Traditional knowledge can help to provide efficient, appropriate and time tested ways of advising and enabling adaptation to climate change in communities who are feeling the effects of climate changes due to global warming.

Q. To address the challenge of Climate Change, Developing countries urgently require:

(a) Implementation of National Adaptation Plans

(b) Adoption of short term plans

(c) Adoption of technological solutions

(d) Imposition of Climate Change tax

Q. Given below are the factors of vulnerability of poor people to climate changes. Select the option that contains the correct answer.

(1) Their dependence on natural resources

(2) Geographical attributes

(3) Lack of financial resources

(4) Lack of Traditional knowledge

Codes:

(a) (2), (3) and (4)

(b) (1), (2), (3) and (4)

(c) (3) only

(d) (1), (2) and (3)

Q. Which of the following is against the idea portrayed in the passage?

(a) Co-ordination between regional and national efforts is necessary.

(b) The process of Adaptation to climate change does not take into account the factor of prevailing national circumstances.

(c) Social dimensions of climate change also need to be appreciated.

(d) Combining Traditional Knowledge with appropriate technology is the need of the hour. 

Q. The Traditional Knowledge should be used through

(a) Improvement in national circumstances

(b) Synergy between Government and local interventions

(c) Imposition of Climate Change Tax.

(d) Its dissemination

Q. What is the meaning of the word ‗Resilience‘ occurring in the passage?

a) Toughness

b) Fragility

c) Flexibility

d) Vulnerability

Passage 2

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said major global firms are looking at India as a major investment destination, which is reflected by a robust inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) last financial year, and through Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan‘ (SelfReliant India initiative) the country is shifting its focus from Make in India‘ to Make for world‘. He said Independent India should be ―vocal for local‖ and asked citizens to glorify Indian products to promote Atmanirbhar Bharat‘. Unveiling his vision of a Self-Reliant India, the Prime Minister said that the government has unveiled over Rs 110 lakh crore National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) to boost the economy and create jobs. ―In order to rapidly modernise India, there is a need to give a new direction to overall infrastructure development,‖ he said, adding that over 7,000 projects under NIP have been already identified. ―This will be, in a way, a new revolution in the field of infrastructure. This is the time to end silos in infrastructure. There is a plan to connect the entire country with multimodel connectivity infrastructure,‖ he said. NIP will play a crucial role in overcoming the adverse impact of Covid-19 on the economy and catapult the economy in a higher growth trajectory, he said. The government on December 31 last year unveiled the NIP with an aim to make India a $5 trillion economy by 2024-25. The focus of the infrastructure pipeline is to accelerate growth and create employment in both urban and rural areas.

Passage 1 

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the entire world hostage in less than four months, and the global economy has been hit the hardest with governments across the globe implementing stringent policies including lockdown to control the coronavirus outbreak. The pandemic today presents unprecedented challenges and impediments to businesses in conducting their normal operations. The lockdown across the world has caused delays in the performance of contracts and transactions. Now, the question that arises is whether the current situation can enable parties to a contract to alter their obligations with non-compliance of terms neither being regarded as a "default committed by any party" nor a "breach of contract"? There are certain well-accepted practices for dealing with such extraordinary situations in commercial transactions by the inclusion of force majeure & material adverse effect (MAE) clauses. Determination of the types of circumstances so covered by the force majeure clause contained in a contract is essential. Provisions of force majeure often cover natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes as "acts of God." Other covered events may include war, terrorism, civil disorder, fire, disease medical epidemics or by reasons of applicable laws or regulations. Broadly, the Courts have interpreted the term "Force Majeure" as an event that can neither be anticipated nor controlled by either of the contracting parties. A force majeure clause applies in the context of ongoing contractual arrangements, whereas, an MAE or material adverse change (MAC) clause applies to the allocation of risk in transactions before their closure or completion. Pandemic and related consequences such as government action is a type of event covered by a force majeure clause, however, its impact on the affected party's ability to perform its contractual obligations may vary depending upon contractual terms. It is common for force majeure clauses to specify the impact that the event or circumstances in question must have, in order for the clause to be triggered. References may be made, for example, to the event or circumstances having "prevented", "hindered" or "delayed" performance. These terms require different levels of impact on performance before a party can claim recourse to these clauses. In other words, the force majeure and MAC clauses act as an exception to what would otherwise be treated as a breach of contract. Certain contracts may state that, if a force majeure clause is applied, the contract may automatically be terminated. On the other hand, some contracts may even state that the duty to fulfil the contractual obligation may be suspended for a certain period of time and if the force majeure event is not curbed or treated even after such time, then eventually the contract may be terminated. Though there cannot be a one-size-fits-all solution to this question, and it depends upon how the force majeure clause is worded in a specific contract; and in the absence of the same, applicable laws related to the same will be required to be taken into consideration.  [Excerpt from Business Today, by Ranjana Roy Gawai]

Q. Based on the Author‘s argument in passage above, which of the following is correct?

a) Force Majeure Clauses, generally have a uniform impact on the performance of Contracts in all the cases.

b) The Impact on the performance of Contracts by the usage of Force Majeure Clauses is dependent upon the way such clauses have been constructed in a particular Contract.

c) Both Force Majeure and Material Adverse Change Clauses have similar impact on the performance of Contracts.

d) All of the above.

Q. Imagine, there is a domestic commercial Contract for supply of certain goods for certain price between A and B. However, in pursuance of the same, both A and B forget to negotiate and agree on the terms of a Force Majeure event and the Contractual document does not contain the Force Majeure clause. In such a situation, what would be the fate of the Contract in the event like that of COVID 19?

a) As the parties did not negotiate on the Force Majeure Clause, either of them cannot take an exception to the Breach of Contract.

b) The parties can invoke the Material Adverse Change Clause.

c) In absence of such clauses in the Contract, the Courts may resort to the applicable law, i.e., the Indian Contract Act, 1872 to give relief to the parties.

d) None of the above

Q. In the same fact situation as mentioned above with a modification that there is a Force Majeure Clause in the Contract between A and B, let us suppose, that B, who was to supply goods to A on certain date and time, faced issues in relation to procurement of goods due to mill strike and also because of rise in prices of goods. In this case, can B claim the suspension of performance of Contract on the basis of the Force Majeure Clause?

a) Yes, B can, depending upon the way, the Force Majeure Clause is worded.

b) Such situation cannot be covered under Force Majeure as it is just a case of disappointed expectations and hence B cannot invoke the clause. It is merely a case of commercial hardship.

c) B can invoke the Force Majeure clause as the clause is too broad to cover such situations.

d) None of the above. 

Q. Typically, the MAE (Material Adverse Change) provision in an agreement contemplates events which if they occur, or are likely occur, would have a ―materially adverse change or effect on the assets, business, property, liabilities, financial condition, results, operations of the target‖ or that ―affects the ability of the transacting parties to consummate the transaction‖ or the ―validity or enforceability of the transacting parties to its rights and remedies under the transaction documents‖. Which of the following sample clauses in a contract resembles an MAE clause?

a) In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this agreement because of Act of God, strikes, equipment of transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable for damages to the other for any damages resulting from such failure to perform…

b) Except with respect to payment obligations under this agreement, no party shall be liable for, nor such party shall be considered in breach of this agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this agreement as a result of cause beyond its control, including any earthquake, labour problem, unavailability of supplies...

c) Both of the above.

d) None of the above. 

Passage 2

The issue of Obscenity has vexed the Courts in India and abroad for a long time now. The intriguing question has always been the same, i.e., what should be the standards to qualify something as obscene in the eyes of law? In the United Kingdom, way back in 1868, the Court laid down the Hicklin test in Regina v. Hicklin (1868 L.R. 2 Q.B. 360), and held that:

The test of Obscenity is whether the tendency of the matter charged as Obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences and into whose hands a publication of this sort may fall. Hicklin test postulated that a publication has to be judged for obscenity based on isolated passages of a work considered out of context and judged by their apparent influence on most susceptible readers, such as children or weakminded adults. However, this test was later rejected by most of the jurisdictions. There were many judgments where it was stipulated by the Indian Courts that, Obscenity has to be judged in the context of contemporary social mores, current socio-moral attitude of the community and the prevalent norms of acceptability/ susceptibility of the community, in relation to matters in issue. [For example, in Ranjit D. Udeshi v. State of Maharashtra AIR 1965 SC 881; Chandrakant Kalyandas Kakodar v. State of Maharashtra 1969 (2) SCC 687 etc.] These judgements indicated that the concept of Obscenity would change with the passage of time and what might have been obscene at one point of time would not be considered as obscene at a later period. This came to be known as Community Standards Test. In Bobby Art International & Ors. v. Om Pal Singh Hoon (1996) 4 SCC 1, the Court, upholding the Community standards test held that, complete message and context of the objectionable scene/firm/picture etc., needs to be examined in order to find out whether the alleged material is obscene or not. 

Q. A, daily local newspaper called ‗Ramanand Bazar Patrika‘ having wide circulation in Anandnagar published, on 1st July, 2019, an article with a picture of Boris Becker, a world renowned Tennis player, posing nude with his dark-skinned fianc e by name Barbara Feltus, a film actress, which was photographed by none other than her father. The article states that, in an interview, both Boris Becker and Barbara Feltus spoke freely about their engagement, their lives and future plans and the message they wanted to convey to the people at large, for posing to such a photograph. Article picturises Boris Becker as a strident protester of the
pernicious practice of Apartheid. Further, it was stated that the purpose of the photograph was also to signify that love champions over hatred. Will the alleged picture classify as an Obscene Material in India?

a) No, according to the Hicklin Test, it will not classify as Obscene.

b) Yes, according to the Community Standards Test, the picture will classify as Obscene.

c) No, according to the Community Standards Test, the picture will not classify as Obscene.

d) Both (a) and (c). 

Q. The difference between Hicklin Test and Community Standards Test is:

a) The former focuses on the susceptibility of the minds of individuals to get corrupted while the later hinges upon the context, intended meaning and contemporaneous socio-cultural environment of the society.

b) As per Hicklin Test, a nude picture of a women per se can be obscene while as per the later, the picture should be suggestive of deprave mind and designed to excite sexual passion In persons who are likely to see it.

c) The former considers Obscenity as a changing concept with changing times while the later does not.

d) All of the above. 

Q. The issue of ‗Obscenity‘ is fundamentally related with which of the following?

a) Freedom of Religion of an individual.

b) Freedom of Speech and Expression of an individual.

c) Right to Privacy of an individual.

d) All of the above.

Q. Consider the following situations. Choose the correct option as per the Hicklin‘s Test.

1. A Movie scene where there are rows of Jewish naked men and women, shown frontally, being led into the Gas Chambers of Nazi Concentration Camp. Not only they are about to die but they are stripped off their basic dignity in the last moments of their life.

2. The controversial movie scene of Phoolan Devi, the Bandit queen where she is paraded naked and made to draw water from the well within the circle of a hundred men.

a) 1 is Obscene but 2 is not.

b) 2 is Obscene but 1 is not.

c) Both 1 and 2 are Obscene.

d) Neither 1 and 2 are Obscene. 

Q. An activist, while being semi-nude, allowed her body to be used as a canvas to paint on by her two minor children who were properly clothed. She uploaded this video of hers on an online platform with a message that she intended to normalise the female form for her children and not allow distorted ideas about sexuality to pervade their mind. An advocate who sees the video, registers a case of Obscenity against her. Is it a case of Obscenity as per the Community Standards Test?

a) This is a pure case of Obscenity and she is spreading it.

b) This is a pure case of Obscenity as well as Child Pornography as her children were exposed to her nudity.

c) This is not a case of Obscenity because as per the Community Standards Test the video must not be seen in isolation but in the contextual set up of the message that the activist has put on normalisation of a female‘s sexuality.

d) This is a case of Obscenity as per the Community Standards Test as the video was blatantly obscene.

Passage 1

Some readers wondered whether my reading of the crisis in the news media is about journalism or about the news industry. Though the fortunes of the news industry have a bearing on journalism, there is, indeed, a difference between looking at issues that govern journalism and the factors that contribute to the financial stress of the media industry. Over the last few years, I have been discussing the impact of digitalisation on journalism. The pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation of the news media. Therefore, these issues need close scrutiny. One of the defining elements of analog journalism was the way two crucial functions of journalism bearing witness and making sense complemented each other and helped people make informed choices. When I talk about the strength of analog, I am neither romanticising the past nor am I a Luddite. Most importantly, I do not believe in nostalgia. Many scholars have established how rose-coloured glasses always leads to an unfair distortion looking back on the best of the past while comparing it to the worst of the present.‖ Hence, when I talk about the digital information news environment, I am talking about how there needs to be a conducive atmosphere for credible information to resonate with the people. Literature on misinformation, disinformation and malinformation reveals a new distinction in the minds of the citizens. Editors and journalists have to contend with a new breed of sceptics. These are the people who trust social media forwards more than evidence-based, data-driven journalism. Their confirmation bias flows from encrypted social media platforms that are full of conspiracy theories. [Excerpt from an Article by A.S. Panneerselvan, The Hindu, dated August 10, 2020] 

Q. Which of the following conveys the main idea expressed in the passage?

a) Those who subscribe to newspapers are sceptics.

b) Those who subscribe to newspapers and news channels often contribute in distortion of the truth.

c) Social media journalism distorts the truth.

d) All of the above. 

Q. In this line, ―Hence, when I talk about the digital information news environment, I am talking about how there needs to be a conducive atmosphere for credible information to resonate with the people‖ the Author assumes that:

a) The Digital news is neither evidence based nor data driven.

b) The Digital journalism does not help people in making informed choices.

c) Both a) and b)

d) The impact of Digital journalism has created an informed platform of journalism. 

Q. Which of the following strengthens the Author‘s argument?

a) Conspiracy theories have become an alternative truth.

b) The Pandemic is the only reason behind the dependence of people on Social media journalism.

c) The News industry is witnessing a tremendous change.

d) None of the above. 

Q. What does the Author indicate when he quotes that ―Rose coloured glasses always lead to unfair distortion‖?

a) Digital Journalism is twisted.

b) Author means to say that he does not have any disproportionate bias for analog journalism.

c) Rosy picture of every news cannot be created.

d) All of the above. 

Q. The Author has severely targeted and criticized which one of the following factors of Digital Journalism?

a) Social Outreach

b) Credibility of Information

c) Lack of Information

d) None of the above.

Passage 2

In 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev, launched an ill-fated anti-alcohol campaign in the then Soviet Union. The anti-alcohol campaign had some beneficial public health consequences: Crime fell and life expectancy rose. But the campaign was a political and economic disaster. Gorbachev forgot that the addiction of the state to alcohol revenue was even more incurable than the addiction of some citizens to alcohol itself. The budgetary losses created an economic crisis. Historians suspect that more than the loss of the Soviet Empire, it was this campaign that delegitimised Gorbachev. An old Soviet joke went like this: A disaffected and angry citizen, fed up of standing in lines for vodka, decided to go assassinate Gorbachev. He soon came back and ruefully reported that the lines to assassinate Gorbachev were even longer than the lines for Vodka. As the lockdown eased in India, and social distancing went for a toss at alcohol outlets, we were reminded of how difficult an issue alcohol is to rationally discuss in India. The stampede was caused by the ineptness with which the opening was handled in most cities. Alcohol has also migrated from being a question of personal freedom and choice to an issue in broader cultural wars, an odd site on which we measure progressivism in India. It is also a window on how liberalism has been misunderstood. Liberals should, rightly, be suspicious of prohibition on moral and practical grounds. Government grossly exceeds its legitimate power when it interferes with the rights of individuals to lead their lives as they please, and fashion their selves after their own ideals, interests and preferences. And certainly, moralism or puritanism on alcohol cannot be the basis of state policy. That moralism has no basis, and it violates the dignity and freedom of individuals. [Excerpt from an Opinion by Bhanu Pratap Mehta, The Indian Express, May 7, 2020] 

Q. In the above passage, the author uses a/an__________ to strengthen his argument.

a) Metaphor

b) Analogy

c) Personification

d) None of the above

Q. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?

a) State must not interfere at all with the individual‘s right to drink.

b) Liberalism has always been misunderstood.

c) It is very difficult to discuss any issue relating to personal freedom of individuals with rationality in India.

d) None of the above. 

Q. Which of the following statements weakens the argument that Moralism on Alcohol cannot be the basis of State Policy?

a) The State should not interfere with people‘s right to drink; but there will be a backlash if drinking takes forms that inflict great social harms. 

b) Freedom should not be divorced from Moderation.

c) The State should not interfere in matters of sexuality or intimacy. But norms of freedom will impose serious costs and will not survive if the expressions of sexuality are consistently degrading or violent, as we have seen in the locker room scandals.

d) All of the above. 

Q. Which of the following is true as per the passage above? 

a) Liberals should not be concerned about prohibition on Alcohol at all.

b) Moralism should be based on justified ideals.

c) Moralism must not be the basis of any State action.

d) All of the above. 

Q. According to the passage, which of the following could be part of State‘s policy to regulate Alcohol use in India?

I. Ban on Alcohol shops.
II. Education on Intelligent Drinking.
III. Regulating Outlet density of Alcohol shops
IV. Community Intervention Policy 

a) I, II and III
