Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Today, we see the rise of Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence and social media, which crosslinks content, community and messaging. With convergence, this has an effect across media. Data is flowing and being analysed and leveraged in unprecedented ways, and it is impossible for the average user to understand the implications of the terms of service agreements which must be signed before a new app can be used. Users just scroll down and tick the right box, consenting to the monetisation of their data.
Which of the following is the most logical and rational corollary to the above passage?
Correct
Correct Answer : D
Answer Justification : The main idea in the passage is that users are not able to read terms of service agreements and accept them in ignorance, which allows data mining companies to collect data from them. Hence, the most logical corollary is that the service agreements be made less verbose and simpler for people to realize what data of theirs is in public domain.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Green growth means fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. To do this it must catalyse investment and innovation which will underpin sustained growth and give rise to new economic opportunities. Green growth is not a replacement for sustainable development. Rather, it provides a practical and flexible approach for achieving concrete, measurable progress across its economic and environmental pillars, while taking full account of the social consequences of greening the growth dynamic of economies. That potential includes the provision of critical life support services – clean air and water, and the resilient biodiversity needed to support food production and human health.
Based on your understanding of the passage,
-
- Natural resources are infinitely substitutable
- Our addiction to economic growth only needs to be sacrificed
Which of the following assumption(s) have been made in the passage?
Correct
Correct Answer : B
Answer Justification : Statement 1 is not an assumption made in the passage. The purpose of green growth itself is to ensure that we are able to preserve finite natural resources. Statement 2 is correct as this assumption is implicit throughout the passage where the talk is of sustainable growth. Hence B is the answer.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
There comes a phase in life when the spring of life is frozen, the rain of circulation becomes dry, the movement of body becomes motionless, the rainbow of life becomes colorless and the word life, which one calls a dance in space and time, becomes still and blurred and the inevitable death comes near.
Which of the following statements best fit the message being conveyed in the passage?
Correct
Correct Answer : B
Answer Justification : The debate around passive euthanasia is centred on the idea that there comes a stage when you are just mechanically alive. In such a situation, whether or not to continue with life is a matter of personal choice. This is captured in B. The first part of the passage describes a stage where life loses its vitality and meaning. Hence B

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Had Karl Marx, whose revolutionary theories gave historical legitimacy and intellectual heft to people’s revolution, been alive, he would have been deeply distressed. The ragtag groups of insurgents in Indian forests, purporting to engineer the “rise of the proletariat”, have played into the hands of their own leadership. However, the revelation of steep economic inequality between Naxal foot soldiers and their supreme bosses doesn’t underscore an accidental contradiction. The rich and poor divide has been a defining feature of Marxist-Communist governments around the world in the last 100-odd years. And, yet, the very rank and file, so intoxicated by the Maoist-Marxist-Leninist opium, fail to see the stark disparities.
Which of the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be drawn from the passage?
Correct
Correct Answer : B
Answer Justification : The central focus of the passage is on the LWEs who are fighting an ideological battle, where their ideology is guilty of the same crimes as the ideology they are fighting for. Hence B.
- The United Nations Charter established six main organs of the United Nations, including the Security Council. It gives primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security to the Security Council, which may meet whenever peace is threatened.
- According to the Charter, the United Nations has four purposes:
- to maintain international peace and security;
- to develop friendly relations among nations;
- to cooperate in solving international problems and in promoting respect for human rights;
- and to be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations.
- All members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council. While other organs of the United Nations make recommendations to member states, only the Security Council has the power to make decisions that member states are then obligated to implement under the Charter.
