Passage: Rising sea levels, driven by climate change, could affect significantly more number of people by 2050 than was previously calculated, new research by Climate Central, a US-based national organization for science, suggests. The research suggests that around 150 million people are currently living on land that will be below the high-tide line by mid-century and that by then, coastal cities such as Mumbai will be completely wiped out. Courses of action:  I. Residents of Mumbai must be evacuated immediately. II. The Government of India should dismiss such research as attempts of “fear-mongering” and ask citizens to calm down. III. Global leaders must come together to study the subject in more detail and discuss climate change and associated city planning.
In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Straight As may be the wrong goal, suggests a new study that has determined learning is optimized when we fail 15% of the time. P. This is a concept that society has intuited for a long time, across a variety of domains — for instance, this just-outside-one’s-grasp learning is observable in video games, in which the player is encouraged or forced to a higher level of difficulty once a performance criterion has been achieved.  Q. In both cases, machines and animals learned the fastest when difficulty was such that the subject would be right 85% of the time and be wrong 15%. But researchers say their finding is likely applicable to humans.  R. Interestingly, it’s not a new concept — the “zone of proximal development,” a theory developed in the 1930s by psychologist Lev Vygotsky described the sweet spot of learning: when a student is faced with a challenge just beyond their ability to solve it alone. It’s a ‘Goldilock’s zone'. S. A ratio, developed by researchers at various universities was tested on computers via machine learning and applied to previous research looking into how animals learn.  6. If one is taking classes that are too easy and acing them all the time, then one probably isn’t getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up. 
Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only. Productive jobs are vital for growth and a good job is the best form of inclusion. More than half of our population depends on agriculture, but the experience of other countries suggests that the number of people dependent on agriculture will have to shrink if per capita incomes in agriculture are to go up substantially. While industry is creating jobs, too many such jobs are low-productivity non-contractual jobs in the unorganized sector, offering low income, little protection, and no benefits. Service jobs are relatively of high productivity, but employment growth in services has been slow in recent years. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ the passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Carbon-intensive firms are likely to lose 43% of their value thanks to policies designed to combat climate change, a report says. P. Representatives of fossil fuel companies told the BBC they were already adapting their businesses to take climate change into account. Q. But the PRI study suggests major winners and losers will emerge between, and within, big sectors. Car-makers with the swiftest transition to electric vehicles (EVs), for instance, are projected to increase in value by 108%, according to the study by Vivid Economics. R. The forecast was commissioned by the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). S. Meanwhile the most progressive companies will see an uplift of 33% in their value. 6. Manufacturers slow to move to EVs will see their value fall, as governments realize that petrol and diesel models must be phased out faster for climate targets to be met.

On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Passage: Greenland's vast ice sheet may have melted beyond the point of return - a new research suggests. No matter how quickly the world cuts emissions that are heating the climate by using existing legislations, the ice is likely to disappear. However, researchers say that cutting climate-heating emissions could still slow the rate of ice loss. Courses of action: I. Global leaders must come together and bring about a legislation to cut down emissions. II. UNFCCC, the entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change, must order a more detailed study on the subject to identify the dangers and suggest remedies. III. “Life on mars” mission must be expedited, and all human beings must be transported to Mars as life will not be able to sustain on Earth.

Indeed, most of us are little more than bundle of habits. Take away our habits and the residuum would hardly be worth bothering about. We could not get on without them. They simplify the mechanism of life. They enable us to do a multitude of thing automatically, which, if we had to give fresh and original thought to them each time, would make existence an impossible confusion. The author suggests that habits

We have forgotten that health really means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine, and this includes many patients as well as many physicians, pay very little attention to health but very much attention to those who imagine they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers, the health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of television programmes and all those books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness. A healthy man should not be wasting time talking about health : he should be using health for work.

Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second­hand from books or other artificial sources. The knowledge of that which is before us, or about us, which appeals to our experience, passions, and pursuits, to the bosoms and businesses of men, is not learning. Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know. He is the most learned man who knows the most of what is farthest removed from common life and actual observation. The learned man prides himself in the knowledge of names, and dates, not of men or things. He thinks and cares nothing about his next­door neighbours, but he is deeply read in the tribes and castes of the Hindoos and Calmuc Tartars. He can hardly find his way into the next street, though he is acquainted with the exact dimensions of Constantinople and Peking. He does not know whether his oldest acquaintance is a knave or a fool, but he can pronounce a pompous lecture on all the principal characters in history. He cannot tell whether an object is black or white, round or square, and yet he is a professed master of the optics and the rules of perspective.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. The conclusion of World Trade Organizations 11thbiennial ministerial conference at Buenos Aires was worrisome. From an Indian standpoint, there was no loss asstatus quo continues in the most important issue: the right to continue the food security programme by using support prices. But the inability of the negotiators toreach even one substantive outcome suggests that WTOs efficacy is under question. As a 164-country multilateral organisation dedicated to crafting rules of tradethrough consensus, WTO represents the optimal bet for developing countries such as India. Strengthening WTO is in Indias best interest. Perhaps the biggest threat to WTOs efficacy today is the attitude of the US. The worlds largest economy appears to have lost faith in the organisation and hasbegun to undermine one of its most successful segments, the dispute redressal mechanism. This is significant as the US has been directly involved in nearly half ofall cases brought to WTO. Separately, large groups of countries decided to pursue negotiations on e-commerce, investment facilitation and removal of tradeobstacles for medium and small scale industries. By itself this should not weaken WTO. But it comes at a time when there is growing frustration with gridlock atWTO. India did well to defend its position on its food security programme. The envisaged reform package which will see a greater use of direct cash transfers tobeneficiaries will be in sync with what developed countries do. But its important for India to enhance its efforts to reinvigorate WTO. In this context, Indias plan toorganise a meeting of some countries early next year is a step in the right direction. WTO represents the best available platform to accommodate interests of adiverse set of nations. Therefore, India should be at the forefront of moves to fortify it. Which of the following is the most successful segments of the WTO mentioned in the passage?
