Directions (Q. 1 - 13): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

It is an old dictum of political science that the state comes into being for life (protection of life and security) but it exists for good life. The transition of modern democracies from merely providing security from external aggression and internal disturbances and disorder to a welfare state providing the citizen social security schemes from the cradle to the grave is a familiar phenomenon of the 20th century. India is no exception to the rule. In fact, the Indian concept of justice—Dharma—is far older than the concept of law. India had always regarded that peace and security were empty concepts in a system where social, political and economic justice was denied to the people.


The concept of justice is itself a changing one. It changes with the growth and development of the society and with the philosophy which informs the society at a given time. For instance, slavery was legitimate in certain parts of the world but is no longer so now. An eye for eye and tooth for tooth was considered just in primitive society but is abhorrent today. In our own lifetime, right to property was included as a fundamental right in Art 19 (1)(f) of the Constitution. By 1978, it was sought to be removed from the statute books as contrary to the socialist philosophy. All these go to show that human ingenuity does not extend to foreseeing the near or distant future and that no law can be permanent or immutable. Orderly transition and growth of society can be stalled only at the peril of a revolution.

No Constitution is or can be perfect. Nor can it provide for every contingency that may arise in the future. Besides conditions change or new concepts emerge as a result of changes in the political, social and economic conditions and concepts. According to political science, sovereignty may rest with the Crown in a monarchy or with a dictator in ruthless control over the people. But in a democracy sovereignty rests with the people of the country. If the generation living in 1949 had the authority to frame a Constitution for the nation, the generation living in 2000 AD will have equal right to add, alter, amend, delete, substitute or even to frame a new Constitution, subject to compliance with the conditions and restrictions imposed by the Constitution itself.

1.According to the theory of political science, survival of a state is related to
1) The law of the land.
2) Its tradition.
3) The welfare of its people.
4) Its defence strategy.
5) The growth of its service sector.

2. In India the main concept of the “state” is

4) Social, political and economic justice is a dream for the people.
5) None of these

4. What does it imply—“An eye for eye and tooth for tooth was considered just in primitive society but is abhorrent today”?
1) There is no place for the concept of ‘might is right’ in any society.

DIRECTION (1-15): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Though he last twenty-five years have seen China dazzle the world with its excellent economic performance it has shied away from playing the kind of active role in international affairs that would seem commensurate with its economic weight. This is because traditionally china’s politics’ have been defined by the need for economic development above all else. In the past China’s authorities have tended to downplay the country’s international clout, choosing to stress instead its developing country status and limited military capabilities. Such modest rhetoric was intended to allay the fears that China’s rise was causing across its immediate neighborhood. That Beijing is finally acknowledging its status as a major player in the international system is evidenced by the fact that the President has formally developed a theory of international relations; the concept of harmonious world. The concept, encompassing board notions of multilateralism, prosperity for all through common development and tolerance for diversity left world opinion perplexed. These are commendable objectives but the theory is short on specifics regarding the means to achieve them.


China’s recent willingness to be a more active player internationally stems from complex factors. The country’s economic strength having acquired the largest foreign exchange reserves in world is undeniable and reports favour it to be the largest economy in the next quarter of a century.

To ensure a stable security environment within the region and thus facilitate economic growth China played an active role in facilitating negotiations with North Korea. Destabilization of a potential flashpoint like the Korean peninsula would lead to a flood of refugees crossing the border, interrupting careful plans of economic rejuvenation of China’s North-East China’s growing influence has caused a shift in the geopolitical status quo and its influence is beginning to replace that of the United States and European powers in Africa.

 China’s new diplomacy though has had its share of critics who have expressed their unease at China’s military modernization programme and its willingness to deal with regimes widely Africa was in need of aid and infrastructure or the US needed help in negotiating with Korea they turned to China.

(a) disguise; elusive
(b) control; garbled
(c) conceal; caustic
(d) express; vitriolic


Answers:


1) (b) Syncretic means uniting and blending together different systems, as of philosophy, morals, or religion

2)  (a) The sentence discusses the author’s contemplation of the effects of the debate that is being driven by the Scottish nationalists. Keeping this context in mind, the second blank can be filled only by ‘contemplated’. Hence, (a) is the right answer

3) (a) Parochial means narrow-minded and having only a limited perspective. Diversity represents an idea which is opposite to a parochial perspective. Therefore, someone who celebrates “diversity” would infuriate a parochial person.

4) (A) ‘Subject’ means to be made to undergo. An ‘injunction’ is an order so ‘violate’ works well in the next blank. It is idiomatically incorrect to say that an individual was held to an injunction. ‘Obligate’ means to give word that something will be done. ‘Desecrate’ means to violate but it would not be used for an Advertising Act. The correct answer is option (a).

5) (d) ‘Exhaustive’ means comprehensive. ‘Secure’ and ‘complete’ do not fit in the context of taking printouts. ‘Manual’ means involving or using human effort and this fits in the context of a contrast with tracking messages on a real-time basis. The answer is option (d).

6) (b) ‘Constructive’means promoting further development or advancement. Advanced’means further along in progress. Though ‘preliminary’and ‘advanced’can beused to describe discussions, they do not fit in the context as the rest of the sentence says that “heremains optimistic that a positive outcome can be achieved”. ‘Reassert’means to state with assurance or state strongly. The answer is option (b).

7) (c)

8) (a) Since the sentence indicates that the budget will be planned based on income and savings goals –these have to be of a current nature and not planned or estimated. Logic has to be used in this context to establish the answer as option a.

9) (b)

10) (c)
