Question 2 of 5
2. Question
We live in digital times. The digital is not just something we use strategically and specifically to do a few tasks. Our very perception of who we are, how we connect to the world around us, and the ways in which we define our domains of life, labour and language are hugely structured by the digital technologies. The digital is everywhere and; like air, invisible. We live within digital systems, we live with intimate gadgets, we interact through digital media, and the very presence and imagination of the digital has dramatically restructured our lives. The digital, far from being a tool, is a condition and context that defines the shapes and boundaries of our understanding of the self, the society, and the structure of governance.
Which among the following is the most logical and essential message conveyed by the above passage?
Correct
Answer: D. The focus of the passage is on explaining that digital technologies are imperative for our existence and our lives have become entwined with the use of such technology for a wide range of functions related to self, society and governance. Hence D.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
An innovative India will be inclusive as well as technologically advanced, improving the lives of all Indians. Innovation and R&D can mitigate increases in social inequality and relieve the pressures created by rapid urbanization. The growing divergence in productivity between agriculture and knowledge-intensive manufacturing and services threatens to increase income inequality. By encouraging India’s R&D labs and universities to focus on the needs of poor people and by improving the ability of informal firms to absorb knowledge, an innovation and research agenda can counter this effect. Inclusive innovation can lower the cost of goods and services and create income – earning opportunities for the poor people.
Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage?
Correct
Answer: C. The passage emphasizes on the role that innovation can play in bringing about an improvement in meeting the needs of poor people and alleviating issues faced by them. The passage states that focussing on innovation would improve income earning opportunities for poor people which would eventually lead to creation of an egalitarian society. Hence C.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Climate adaptation may be rendered ineffective if policies are not designed in the context of other development concerns. For instance, a comprehensive strategy that seeks to improve food security in the context of climate change may include a set of coordinated measures related to agricultural extension, crop diversification, integrated water and pest management and agricultural information series. Some of these measures may have to do with climate changes and others with economic development.
What is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
Correct
Answer: D. The focus of the passage is on explaining that the focus of climate adaptation measure should be to strike a balance between the environmental and developmental concerns. It becomes even more apparent from the last line of the passage which indicates that d is the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Many pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are unknown. Food contamination can occur at any stage from farm to plate. Since most cases of food poisoning go unreported, the true extent of global foodborne illnesses is unknown. Improvements in international monitoring have led to greater public awareness, yet the rapid globalization of food production increases consumers’ vulnerability by making food harder to regulate and trace. “We have the world on our plates”, says an official of WHO.
Which of the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?
Correct
Answer: A. The answer lies in the last line of the passage which states that we have the world on our plates. This means that we have a lot of options for our food. The passage states that the rapid globalization of food is increasing consumer vulnerability. Combining the two statements it is clear that the vast option of food as a result of globalization of food is causing more risks. Hence A.
