Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Evaluation of candidate vaccines for COVID-19 should be done on technical parameters and programmatic suitability. An ideal vaccine would provide the following- immunity that is of a high degree (90%+ protective especially against severe illness), broad-scale (against different variants) and durable (at least five years if not lifelong); a vaccine that is safe (little or no side effects and definitely no serious adverse effects); a vaccine that is cheap (similar to current childhood vaccines); a vaccine that is programmatically suitable- single dose, can be kept at room temperature or at worst needs simple refrigeration between 2 degrees Celsius and 4 degrees Celsius, needle-free delivery, and a vaccine that is available is multi-dose vials, has long shelf life and is amenable to rapid production. Obviously, a vaccine having all these desirable characteristics is a pipe dream, and most vaccines fare well in some and not so well in other parameters, making it difficult to choose between them. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a desirable parameter for a vaccine?

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. What is the biggest threat to WTOs efficacy today?
