Question 01 :- Give a suitable title to the passage: 

So what does this adjective "Kafkaesque" mean? And why does Frederick R. Karl, author of an exhaustive critical biography of Franz Kafka, believe that the word is as misused as it is used? "What's Kafkaesque," he said in an interview in his Manhattan apartment, "is when you enter a surreal world in which all your control patterns, all your plans, the whole way in which you have configured your own behavior, begins to fall to pieces, when you find yourself against a force that does not lend itself to the way you perceive the world.

Question03 :- What is the main idea of the passage? Life may be different everywhere but the human heart is the same.

There is no consensus amongst epidemiologists on whether Omicron signals the endgame of the virus.

Question 05 :- Give the main idea of the passage: 

Since the fall of Kabul, the Taliban has been finding it difficult to rule Afghanistan the way it had bragged about for decades. Pakistan’s proxy, the Islamic State Khurasan Province (ISKP)’s violent campaign against the Taliban is continuing, mostly in Kabul and eastern Afghanistan. Pakistani forces are mounting cross-border attacks on TTP hideouts and leaders inside Afghanistan. Over the last few weeks, underground armed resistance movements have become stronger, frequently freeing “pockets'' in at least 10-12 provinces of northern Afghanistan, which are also witnessing frequent public protests.

  • None of these

Question 06 :- Give the main idea of the passage:

 In the current economic scenario, large “wealth creators'' are made free to create wealth for themselves — wealth which, supposedly, will trickle down to the masses. Evidence from around the world is that the economic policy paradigm, of first increasing the overall size of the pie by reducing taxes at the top and then “redistributing” the wealth, has not delivered benefits to people. Trickle-down has dried up while gushing up has increased, with policies to make it easy for investors to do their business of making more profits for themselves. 

  • The trickle-down approach of wealth generation is a perfect approach. 
  • There should be change in the way the economy is run in the country. 
  • The current economic agenda of passing on the wealth from the rich to the poor has not succeeded.

  • What is Capitalism? 
  • What is Marxism? 
  • What is Communism? 
  • What is Capitalism?
Question 08 :- Give the main idea of the passage:

While Bajaj scooters symbolized ordinary middleclass aspirations of the Amol Palekar-Farooq Shaikh years, Bajaj should be equally credited for keeping his eyes on the road ahead. Bajaj Auto tied up with Kawasaki to manufacture motorcycles in the mid-1980s, along with Hero-Honda and TVSSuzuki. It also launched a 50cc single-gear Bajaj Sunny in 1990, aimed at 16-18 year olds who couldn’t handle heavier scooters or bikes.

  • Bajaj introduced Sunny in 1990. 
  • Bajaj tied up with Kawasaki to manufacture Motorcycles in India. 
  • Bajaj stayed ahead of the times by investing in future needs.
Question 09 :- Give a suitable title to the passage:

It is high time that governments and courts adopt a public health and gender-sensitive approach to the question of mass incarceration of undertrial prisoners. The participation of prison watchdogs in bringing accountability to these dark custodial spaces must be restored. The decline in the rate of release of undertrials from prison and the increase in custodial deaths must be named as a humanitarian crisis. It is time to end the law’s attachment to inflicting cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment on pre-trial prisoners. The mass incarceration of pre-trial prisoners must be abolished. 
  • Mass jailing of undertrials must end 
  • Undertrials should be dealt with high handedness. 
  • For solving crime, more and more undertrials should be put in jail.
  • None of these
Question 10 :- Give a suitable title to the passage: 

One thing expected of feminists is that they will teach their boys to treat girls as equals. Any illusions I might have had on this front crumbled when my son said soon after his marriage, blatantly, “Cooking is the girl’s job.” His wife succumbed, just as I had done, for perhaps the same reasons. It’s difficult to stand on principle when marital bliss is at stake. Friends to whom this family secret is revealed are right to ask, “Didn’t you teach your son anything? 
  • Feminism, that dare not speak its name 
  • Humanism, that dare not speak its name 
  • Chauvinism, that dare not speak its name 
  • None of these

  • Pi and his character 
  • Pi and his outlook 
  • Pi and his religious outlook

Question 12 :- 

For the past half century, roughly one in 10 U.S. families has chosen to enrol their children in private school. The reasons behind these decisions are as individual as families themselves: some may perceive the quality of education to be better at a private school than their neighbourhood school, some may wish to continue a family tradition or be motivated by religious beliefs, and others may seek specialized programs for a child with a particular interest or learning challenge. 

The one factor uniting virtually all of these choices, scholarships aside, is the decision to pay tuition, which averaged $10,940 in 2011. Private schools historically ranged widely in their annual fees; many programs, such as those run by the Catholic Church, were designed to be broadly affordable and offered significant discounts for lowincome families. What is the main theme of the given paragraph? 

  • Various facilities by private schools
  • Private vs public schools 
  • Why public schools are better than private schools 
  • Why parents choose private schools for their children

Question 13 :-

Two hundred years ago, an estimated 58,000 tigers roamed India’s lush, unbroken forests. But centuries of hunting and habitat destruction left fewer than 2,000 wild individuals by the 1970s. In 1973, the government declared the tiger India’s national animal, banned hunting and set up a conservation scheme called Project Tiger. But still the numbers are declining. There are 50 reserves today under the programme, and about half are well managed, according to a government assessment. But the reserves are small, averaging less than 1,500 square kilometres — much smaller than many protected areas in Africa. 

These are unfavourable conditions for the solitary tiger. Male Bengal tigers need a home range of about 60– 150 km2, whereas females use about 20– 60 km2. And tigers do not share easily, even with siblings or kids. So when a cub hits adolescence at about one and a half years, it begins roaming to find territory in which to live and hunt. If the tiger reserve is already full, it has two options: either push out an old or weak tiger and take over the space, or keep moving well outside the reserve until it finds unoccupied territory. It is thought that 70–85% of India’s tigers are inside reserves. 

Which of the following is most suitable précis of above passage? 
  • Tiger is India’s national animal and to save tigers project tiger has been started by government. As tigers have various living condition their home range, eating habits and territory system were understood to keep them secure in reserves. 
  • Two hundred years ago, an estimated 58,000 tigers roamed India’s lush, unbroken forests. But centuries of hunting and habitat destruction left fewer than 2,000 wild individuals by the 1970s. In 1973, the government declared the tiger India’s national animal, banned hunting and set up a conservation scheme called Project Tiger 
  • There are 50 reserves today under the programme, and about half are well managed, according to a government assessment. But the reserves are small, averaging less than 1,500 square kilometres — much smaller than many protected areas in Africa.
  • None of the above
Question 14 :-

The effects of water pollution imperil not only ecosystems, but also human lives and economic growth. At least half the world’s population suffers from polluted water. Millions of people die each year due to water-related diseases. Pollution hotspots occur in all parts of the world, including OECD countries, where current pollution costs exceed billions of dollars each year. 

The situation is set to worsen. Population growth and climate change are placing increasing pressure on the ability of finite water bodies to process wastewater, nutrients and other pollutants before they lose their life-supporting function. This will, in turn, increase risks to human health, economic development and ecosystems. 

While we have seen decades of regulation and investment in wastewater treatment plants in OECD countries, with substantial gains for the economy, human health, environment and social values, there are still significant problems stemming from water pollution. Emerging and developing economies are yet to make such progress.

In the developing world, girls and women are often seen as less valuable than boys. Instead of being sent to school, they are often made to do domestic work at home or are married off for a dowry before they are adults. As many as 12 million underage girls are married every year.
