Sorry for late reply
1. India’s experience of industrialisation is characteristic of the difficulties faced by a newly independent developing country.
A. In 1947, India was undoubtedly an under-developed country with one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world.
B. Indian industrialization was the result of a conscious, deliberate policy of growth by an indigenous political elite.
C. Today India ranks fifth in the international community of nations if measured in terms of purchasing power.
D. Even today, however, the benefits of Indian industralisation since independence have not reached the masses.
6. Industrialisation in India has been a limited success; one more example of growth without development.
a. CDAB b. DCBA c. CABD d. BACD
Option D
A and C should go together as A talks about India’s
position in 1947 whereas C talks about her position
now. Again D must be the last sentence as it gives
appropriate background for the sixth sentence.
2. 1. The necessity for regional integration in South Asia is underlined by the very history of the last 45 years since the liquidation of the British empire in this part of the world.
A. After the partition of the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan was formed in that very area which the imperial powers had always marked out as the potential base for operations against the Russian power in Central Asia.
B. Because of the disunity and ill-will among the South Asian neighbours, particularly India and Pakistan, great powers from outside the area could meddle into their affairs and thereby keep neighbours apart.
C. It needs to be added that it was the bountiful supply of sophisticated arms that emboldened Pakistan to go for warlike bellicosity towards India.
D. As a part of the cold war strategy of the US, Pakistan was sucked into Washington’s military alliance spreading over the years.
6. Internally too, it was the massive induction of American arms into Pakistan which empowered the military junta of that country to stub out the civilian government and destroy democracy in Pakistan.
a. ACBD b.
ABDC c. CBAD d. DCAB
A starts at the beginning of the last 45 years. B states
how external powers tried to control the region, D
continues with the idea. C talks about supply of arms
to Pakistan, an idea that is continued in 6.
3. 1. The success of any unit in a competitive environment depends on prudent management sources.
A. In this context, it would have been more appropriate, if the concept of accelerated depreciation,together with additional incentives towards capital allowances for recouping a portion of the cost of replacements out of the current generations, had been accepted.
B. Added to this are negligible retention of profits because of inadequate capital allowances and artificial disallowances of genuine outflows.
C. One significant cause for poor generation of surpluses is the high cost of capital and its servicing cost.
D. The lack of a mechanism in Indian tax laws for quick recovery of capital costs has not received its due attention.
6. While this may apparently look costly from the point of view of the exchequer, the ultimate cost to the government and the community in the form of losses suffered through poor viability will be prohibitive.
a. ADBC b.BCDA c.
CBDA d. DBAC
C states a cause for the problem introduced in 1. B
starts with ‘added to this’, showing that it should follow
C. A introduces a way out of the situation, and 6
analyses the solution. Therefore, A should precede 6.
4. 1. It is often said that good actors can get out of a play more than the author has put into it.
A. A good actor, bringing to a part his own talent, often gives it a value that the layman on reading the play had not seen in it, but at the utmost, he can do no more than reach the ideal that the author has been in his mind’s eye.
B. In all my plays I have been fortunate enough to have some of the parts acted as I wanted; but in none have I had all the parts so acted.
C. That is not true.
D. He has to be an actor of address to do this: for the most part, the author has to be satisfied with an approximation of the performance he visualised.
6. This is so obviously inevitable, for the actor who is suited to a certain role may well be engaged and you have to put up with the second or third best, because there is no help for it.
a. BACD b. DACB c.
CADB d. DCBA
C should be the first sentence as it states that the
logic presented in 1 is not true. A and D talk about the
qualities of a good actor. B talks about the author’s
own plays and 6 continues with his observation in B.
