Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.
We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.
We will be posting 5 MCQs at 11am everyday from Monday to Saturday on http://www.insightsonindia.com. QUED will be available under QUIZ menu.
We hope students utilize this initiative to the best of advantage. 🙂

3. Question
If a country is consistently running a negative trade balance, which of the following is necessarily implied?
- The nation is economically a developing country.
- The nation’s currency is weak as compared to Dollar, which is the international reserve currency.
- There is little or no demand for the country’s exports in international market.
- The nation is grappling with high inflation and low growth.
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
Statements 1, 2 and 3: United States of America usually runs a trade deficit, but it is not a developing country, neither is its currency weak, nor is the demand for its exports weak.
A negative trade balance simply implies that the demand of the resident for foreign goods outstrips what foreign residents demand from that nation.
Moreover, you should see other factors like capital flows in the nation, remittances etc and the overall BoP situation. If it is favourable (positive), statement 2 would be incorrect.
Statement 4: It again depends on the overall BoP situation. If the BoP as well as trade balance is negative, the nation may suffer from currency devaluation. However, still we cannot conclusively say anything about
the growth and inflation in the country. It depends on the economy’s structure and its export-import composition. For e.g. if rupee devaluates, we pay a higher price of essential commodities like oil, which inflate domestic prices.

4. Question
What do you understand by Ecological footprint?
CorrectSolution: c)
As per the Millennium Eco Assessment it is an index of the area of productive land and aquatic ecosystems required to produce the resources used and to assimilate the wastes produced by a defined population at a specified material standard of living, wherever on Earth that land may be located.
Ecological footprint analysis is widely used around the Earth in support of sustainability assessments.
It can be used to measure and manage the use of resources throughout the economy and explore the sustainability of individual lifestyles, goods and services, organizations, industry sectors, neighborhoods, cities, regions and nations.

5. Question
The coastal ecosystems of mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrass meadows provide numerous benefits and services along coasts like
- Regulation of coastal water quality
- Protection from storms and sea level rise
- Food security for many coastal communities
- Provision of habitat for commercially important fisheries
- Sequester and store coastal blue carbon from the atmosphere
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
The coastal ecosystems of mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrass meadows provide numerous benefits and services that are essential for climate change adaptation along coasts globally, including protection from storms and sea level rise, prevention of shoreline erosion, regulation of coastal water quality, provision of habitat for commercially important fisheries and endangered marine species, and food security for many coastal communities. Additionally, these ecosystems sequester and store significant amounts of coastal blue carbon from the atmosphere and ocean and hence are now recognized for their role in mitigating climate change.
