The chief gateways to the world of international trade are the ports and harbours. Cargoes and travellers pass from one part of the world to another through these ports. The ports provide facilities for docking, loading, unloading and storage facilities for cargo, In order to provide these facilities, the port authorities make arrangements for maintaining navigable channels, arranging tugs and barges, and providing labour and managerial services. The importance of a port is judged by the type of cargo and the number of ships handled. The quantity of cargo handled by a port is an indicator of the level of development of its hinterland. Generally ports are classified according to the types of traffic and the cargo which they handle, like industrial, commercial and comprehensive ports. Most of the world’s great ports are classified as comprehensive ports. Ports are classified on the basis of their location as inland ports and out ports.

Read the following passage carefully and answer Question Nos. 9 and 10

Evolution has designed the vultures to be the ultimate scavengers. Enormous wingspans allow them to circle in the air for hours. Their beaks, while rather horrifying, are weak by bird standards, made to scoop and eat flesh. However unappealing they may seem, vultures serve an important role in the ecological cycle, processing the dead bodies of animals. Only 20 years ago, India had plenty of vultures-flocks so enormous they darkened the skies. But by 1999, their numbers had dropped due to a mysterious kidney ailment. By 2008, 99.9% of India’s vultures were gone. It was finally discovered that they had been killed by a drug called Diclofenac. Indians revere their cows and when a cow shows signs of pain, they treat it with the pain reliever Diclofenac. After the animal died, the vultures would eat the carcass, though the vultures boast of one of the world’s most efficient digestive systems they cannot digest Diclofenac. Sometimes vultures feed on carcasses laced with poison intended to kill jackals and other predatory carnivores. India banned the use of Diclofenac for veterinary use in 2006, but it is still widely used. The near extinction of vultures has caused diseases in the country as rats and dogs moved in to take their place-spreading pathogens that would have otherwise been destroyed by the vultures.

Q9. What does the phrase ‘moved in to take their place’ mean?

(A) Contributed to the task

(B) Helped them

(C) Replaced them

(D) Removed them


Q10. On the basis of the above passage, which of the following can be inferred as the major cause of the death of vultures?

(A) They feed on carcasses laced with poison intended to kill them.

(B) They feed on carcasses laced with poison intended to kill jackals and other predators.

(C) They eat carcasses laced with Diclofenac.

(D) None of the above

Janardhan works in a call centre. He leaves late in the evening for work, becomes John when he enters the office, acquires a new accent and speaks a different language to communicate with his clients, who are living thousands of miles away. He works all night which is actually daytime for his overseas customers. Janardhan is rendering service to somebody, who in all probability, he is never likely to meet physically.

Q30. Study the passage below:

The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a single tax, GST will mitigate ill effects of cascading or double taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market. From the consumers point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, which is currently estimated to be around 25%-30%. It would also imply that the actual burden of indirect taxes on goods and services would be much more transparent to the consumer. Introduction of GST would also make Indian products competitive in the domestic and international markets owing to the full neutralization of input taxes across the value chain of production and distribution. Studies show that this would have impact on economic growth. Last but not the least, this tax, because of its transparent and self-policing character, would be easier to administer. It would also encourage a shift from the informal to formal economy.

On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made.

(i) Introduction of GST is a paradigm shift from the earlier tax regime.

(ii) GST subsumed all indirect taxes in India.

Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?

(A) Assumption (i) only

(B) Assumption (ii) only

(C) Both assumptions (i) and (ii)

(D) Neither assumption (i) nor assumption (ii)

 

Q31. Study the passage below:

The new education policy must provide to all students, irrespective of their place of residence, a quality education system, with particular focus on historically marginalized, disadvantaged, and underrepresented groups. Education is a great leveler and is the best tool for achieving economic and social mobility, inclusion, and equality. Initiatives must be in place to ensure that all students from such groups, despite inherent obstacles, are provided various targeted opportunities to enter and excel in the educational system.

On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :

(i) One of the cornerstones of the new education policy is inclusion.

(ii) The new education policy advocates quality education.

Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?

(A) Assumption (i) only

(B) Assumption (ii) only

(C) Both assumptions (i) and (ii)

(D) Neither assumption (i) nor assumption (ii)
