1. Read the passage and answer the questions given below
The impressive recent growth of certain sectors of the Indian economy is a
necessary but insufficient condition for the elimination of extreme poverty.
In order to ensure that the poorest benefit from this growth, and also
contribute to it, the expansion and improvement of the microfinance sector
should be a national priority.
Researchers tell us that in Bangladesh, where 15 million families now benefit
from small loans and other financial products such as micro-savings and
micro-insurance, 40% of the overall reduction of rural poverty in recent years
has been due to microfinance.
Two other studies suggest that the impact of microfinance on the poorest is
greater than on the poor, and yet another that non-participating members of
communities where microfinance operates experience socio-economic gains -
suggesting strong spillover effects. Moreover, well-managed microfinance
institutions (MFIs) have shown a capacity to wean themselves off of subsidies
and become sustainable within a few years.
Microfinance is powerful, but it is clearly no panacea.Microfinance does not
directly address some structural problems facing Indian society and the
economy, and it is not yet as efficient as it will be when economies of scale are
realised and a more supportive policy environment is created. Loan products
are still too inflexible, and savings and insurance services that the poor also
need are not widely available due to regulatory barriers
Still, microfinance is one of the few market-based, scaleable anti-poverty
solutions that is in place in India today, and the argument to scale it up to
meet the overwhelming need is compelling. According to Sa-Dhan, the overall
outreach is 6.5 million families and the sector-wide loan portfolio is Rs 2,500
crore. However, this is meeting only 10% of the estimated demand.
Importantly, new initiatives are expanding this success story to the some of the
country's poorest regions, such as eastern and central Uttar Pradesh.
The local and national governments have an important role to play in ensuring
the growth and improvement of microfinance. First and foremost, the market
should be left to set interest rates, not the state. Ensuring transparency and
full disclosure of rates including fees is something the government should
ensure, and something that new technologies as well as reporting and data
standards are already enabling. Furthermore, government regulators should
set clear criteria for allowing MFIs to mobilise savings for on-lending to the
poor; this would allow for a large measure of financial independence amongst
well-managed MFIs. Each Indian state could consider forming a multi-party
working group to meet with microfinance leaders and have a dialogue with
them about how the policy environment could be made more supportive and to
clear up misperceptions.
There is an opportunity to make a real dent in hard-core poverty through
microfinance. By unleashing the entrepreneurial talent of the poor, we will
slowly but surely transform India in ways we can only begin to imagine today.
A. What is the author view about interest rate?

Correct Option is: 2
D. Which of the following is not a challenge faced by microfinance in
India?

Rohit brushed quickly past an elderly woman waiting on the platform ahead of
him to get onto the metro. He wanted to be sure to get a seat to read his
Economic Times. As the train rolled out of the station, he lifted his head from
the newspaper and stared at the man directly across from him.
A tsunami - of antipathy came over him. Rohit knew this man, knew him all
too well.
Their eyes locked.
As the train reached full speed, the ruckus of speeding wheels against the
winding rails and a wildly gyrating subway car filled Rohit's ears. To this
frenetic beat, Rohit effortlessly listed in his head all the reasons this
man,whose eyes he stared coldly into, was an anathema to him.
He had climbed the upper echelons of his firm using an imperious manner
with his subordinates, always making sure everyone knew he was the boss.
Despite his impoverished upbringing, he had become ostentatious. Flush with
cash from the lucrative deals he had made, he had purchased a yacht and a
home in Mumbai. He used neither. But, oh, how he liked to say he had them.
Meanwhile, Rohit knew, this man's parents were on the verge of being evicted
from their run-down tenement apartment in Allahabad
What bothered Rohit most about this man was that he never even attempted
to make amends for his evil ways.
Could this man change? Rohit did not know. He could try though.
The train screeched to Rohit’s stop. He gave the man one last hard look. “See
you around," he mumbled to himself. And he knew he would, because Rohit
had been glaring at his own reflection in the glass in the metro.
It would take years of hard work and therapy, but Rohit would one day notice
this man again on the train and marvel at what a kinder person he had
become.
A. What does it mean to have an imperious manner with underlings?
1) To ignore them
2) To be stoic around them
3) To openly humiliate them
4) To not be affected by them
5) To be domineering towards them
Correct Option is: 5
B. Why did a tsunami of antipathy come over Rohit?
1) Because he was angry at himself and unable to stand looking at
himself
2) Because the man sitting across him was his former boss who treated
him badly
3) Because he wanted to read his newspaper and not be disturbed,
especially by someone he disliked
4) Because the guy sitting across him was financially better off than
Rohit
Correct Option is: 3
C. what was the biggest reason (stated or implied) for Rohit disliking the man
in the metro?
1) The man was known to be extremely rude and domineering especially
with his subordinates
2) The man was remorseless and had not made any effort to reform
himself for the better
3) The man did not bother to take care of his parents who were on the
verge of being evicted from their humble dwelling
4) The man did not have respect for things or money and while people
did not have a place to stay, he had bought a flat which he rid not
even use
Correct Option is: 3
D. which statement makes most sense from what is said in the paragraph?
1) Rohit has few friends
2) Rohit knows himself well
3) Rohit has had a difficult life
4) Rohit is incapable of change
Correct Option is: 3
2. Read the passage and answer the questions given below
From the dawn of time, people have suspected powerful forces lurking deep in
the oceans ‚ from the Greeks' fearsome sea-god Neptune to John Wyndham's
submarine aliens in his 1950s novel The Kraken Wakes. But science is once
again going one better than science fiction. Researchers are discovering that
hidden 'rivers' run through the oceans, and these powerful currents hold the
destiny of our planet's climate.
The beneficial aspects of ocean currents have long been known. For countries
on the east side of the Atlantic, winters are a balmy holiday compared with the
same latitudes on the west: the frigid coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador.
It's a reminder that "weather" is not just a matter of the Sun's heat affecting
the Earth's atmosphere. The world's interconnected oceans can store up solar
heat in one part of the globe in one season, and invisible rivers in the ocean
can transport the warmth thousands of kilometres to another part of the globe
and deliver it in another season.
In the case of the North Atlantic, heat is carried northward and eastward by
the Gulf Stream. This current warms the coast evenly through the year, in
winter as well as summer. Averaged over a year, the Gulf Stream provides
Western Europe with a third as much warmth as the Sun does.
This ocean warmth is so important to Europe that climatologists are seriously
concerned about the stability of the Gulf Stream. If it switched off, Europe
would be plunged into a mini-Ice Age. And current studies suggest that the
unseen river in the North Atlantic is dangerously fickle.
The focus of today's worries is the problem of global warming - the way that
human activities are changing the climate, as the world gets warmer through
the build-up of so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.
Climatologists think that global warming may put the brakes on the Gulf
Stream. While the rest of the world comes to swelter in greenhouse conditions,
Europe would freeze!
This concern is based on a new understanding of how the great ocean currents
are all interconnected. The Gulf Stream is part of a giant pattern of moving
water that stretches right around the globe.
A. Which of the following statements are correct about Gulf
stream?
1) It is a ocean which spreads warmth evenly across the
coast
2) Solar heat is carried in North-East direction
3) It is a part of giant pattern of moving water around the
world
4) Both 1 and 3
Correct Option is: 4
B. What are the main concerns of climatologists?
1) The entire planet will be warmer with increase in global
warming
2) Green house gases can change direction of ocean
currents
3) Interconnection of currents can be harmful for oceanic
life
4) Global warming can stop the flow of Gulf stream
Correct Option is: 4
C. What is the possible meaning of ‘fickle’?
1) constant flow in one direction
2) likely to change due to instability
3) modify under extreme conditions
4) fixed at one place
Correct Option is: 2
D. What is the role of ocean currents in maintaining the weather
conditions?
1) It helps in maintaining cold temperature in warmer
regions
2) It balances the effect of sun’s heat
3) It stores heat and warms distant places
4) Unpredictable currents can create an imbalance in water
temperature
Correct Option is: 3
