Read the attached text (a newspaper write-up) and answer the following questions accordingly.

Q 1. Identify the claim/argument of the given text. (1 pt)


The writer claimed that Bangladeshi Students demanded reforms in the quota system in
government jobs.

Q 2. What is the type of claim? (0.5 pts)


This is a claim of policy.

Q 3. Identify 3 supports stated in the text. (3 pts)


1.The district-based quota system is affecting women candidates as well as other candidates
from particular districts who had displayed their competitive ability in the recruitment tests.
2.The quota system encourages corruption in bureaucracy that is injustice.
3.In case of recruitment by competitive examination, a candidate may provide a similar
certificate showing a district to which he originally belonged but in fact is not a resident of.

Q 4. Critique the claim. (2.5 pts)

I don't think demanding a quota is a massive problem to everyone because if a student or


candidate has proper knowledge then he can be eligible everywhere.
Part B: Data analysis 5 points

Describe the following bar graph using the relevant information.

The graph bar presented here is about the expenditure of two countries, France and the
UK on consumer goods in 2010. On cars the consumer of France and UK expenditure
was 400,000 and 450,000 pounds. Here the UK was ahead from France and only 50,000
pounds was difference between them. So this expenditure was almost similar. Second
item was computers which were expenditure in France above 350,000 and in the UK
exactly 350,000.So there was bit difference between them that was very insignificant.
The third item was books that France consumers spent 300,000 pounds and Uk consumer
spent 400,000 pounds. So from this statement we can say that UK consumers were more
knowledgeable than France consumers. Fourth item was perfume and France is popular
for perfume, so France was ahead from UK in this term. 200,000 pounds was spent by
France consumers and 152,000 pounds was spent by UK consumers. And the last item
was cameras which statement had huge difference between France and the UK. The main
reason was that in the UK, electronics products are cheap as usual so that UK consumers'
expenditure were on cameras was 350,000 and France consumers expenditure were
150,000 which was a massive difference.
