Direction (Q. 4-6): Read the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Independence Day is considered as a day of rejoicing. Thousands of heroes of independence struggle made the supreme sacrifice of their lives so that we can enjoy freedom. But see how we have misused the hard-won freedom over the last 67 years – exactly in the same way the racist representatives of the British, Winston Churchill, predicted before India wrested independence from the British. Independence Day and Republic Day do not kindle patriotic fervour in a large section of our society any longer. They have only been non-working days where people sit back at home and enjoy with their families. They produce only total revulsion for our corrupt political class, selfserving
bureaucracy, greedy business empires and the completely undisciplined people. The gullible people of the country have been taken for a ride by the promises made by their leaders all these years while they have been bleeding the nation white in scam after scam. To millions of patriotic Indians Independence day will remain a sad day until all these parasites are totally annihilated.

Direction (Q. 7-8): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Problems of illiteracy, malnutrition, anaemia, vitamin and iodine deficiency, and school drop outs are very common among children in India. In 2001 the Supreme Court of India ruled that state governments must provide MidDay-Meal (MDM) to children of government-assisted primary schools. The 2007-08 Budget of the Central Government allocated about `73 billion for the MDM
scheme. Therefore, it becomes imperative that  a comprehensive evaluation of the programme be undertaken to judge its efficiency. Increasing corruption and lack of proper management has made the Mid-Day-Meal just the promise written in the election manifestos of political parties. The recent incident of the programme in Bihar has made the condition worse. It has been more than five years
since the MDM scheme was launched but the condition has not yet changed and the problems remain the same.

7. Which of the following is the main reason behind the failure of the Mid-day-meal scheme?
A. Very small quantity of food is provided, which is not able to fulfil the deficiency.
B. Increasing corruption, due to which good quality of food is not provided to the children.
C. Mid-day meal provides the food but proper nutritious food is not being given to the children.
D. Increasing health problem due to mid-day meal
E. All of these

8. What course of action should the government take to fulfil the deficiency and make the mid-day meal a successful programme?
I. The government should take steps to provide at least specific calories and proteins to the children.
II. Inspection of food should be done before providing it to children.
III. Strict action should be taken in case of violation.
IV. The government should work upon to provide more delicious food to the children.
A. Only I
B. Only II and IV
C. Only I, II and III
D. Only II and III
E. Only III

9. Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit in the above passage?
I. Mid-day meal nowadays has become the weapon of political parties before the elections.
II. Mid-day meal  should be given to private organisations by the government.
III. Continuous audits should be done in order to check the effectiveness of the programme.
IV. The programme of Mid-Day Meal should be stopped by the government.
A. Only I
B. Only I and II
C. Only I and III
D. Only I, II and III
E. All of these

10. The city-based English medium schools, which always look for excuses to deny admission to poor candidates, have now started turning down poor parents, appeal citing the government’s indifferences towards below poverty line (BPL) students. The schools say the government is reluctant to provide financial aid to the institutions for the admission of poor students.

Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit in the above passage?

ANSWERS

1. (A)

Option 1) R = K < E <= L = T <= G <= D
This leads us to K < T or T > K is true and L <= D is true. Hence option 1) follows.

2. (B)  Given expression, S <= E >= N <= T > H.
Thus, we can’t compare S and either H or N. Hence, 1 and 5 do not follow. Similarly, T
and E can’t be compared. Hence, 3 does not follow.
Again, H and N can’t be compared. So 4 does not follow. But E >= N or N <= E follows.
Hence 2) follows.

3. (B)
Given expression: O < I > N < R ? U Check option one by one
Option (2) O < I > N < R <= U = E Clearly R <= E is true and U > R is false. Hence, follows.

4. (B)  Independence Day and Republic Day only produce total revulsion for our corrupt
political class and self serving bureaucracy.

5. (D)  Lack of patriotism will promote the terrorist activities in the country as the
defence forces will not be vigilant. This in turn will affect the economy of the country.

6. (E)

7. (B)  The passage gives only two reasons: (i) increasing corruption and (ii) lack of
proper management.

8. (C)  Specific calories and proteins should be given to the children which will help in
fighting malnutrition. Inspection of food will reduce the risk of medical problems after
eating the contaminated food and the persons who are responsible for the violation should
be dealt strictly. This will create fear among those who are putting the lives of the children
in danger.

9. (C)  Assumption I is implicit in the reference to “election manifestoes of
political parties.” III is implicit in the “imperative” that “a comprehensive
evaluation of the programme be undertaken”.

10. (A)  Assumption I is implicit; that is why these schools “always look for excuses to

deny admission to poor candidates.” Beware of assumption III! It is a restatement.
