Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Paragraph 1: We celebrated Mother’s Day a few weeks ago— a day which makes us reflect on everything our mothers have done for us. Whether by staying at home and sacrificing their careers for us or by making sure that they packed our lunch boxes by getting up at 5am since they were out at work too. Most of us have reached where we are by dint of the effort our mothers (working or otherwise) put into our upbringing. It was thus rather disconcerting to have read an article titled Women in the workforce — no role for public policy, published on 7 May in this paper, which does litS51 tle to encourage the already abysmal population of women at work by invidiously suggesting that working moms are failures insofar as child rearing goes compared to their stay-at-home sisters. I certainly champion free speech and beli...

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Paragraph 1: ‘Reduce, reuse, recycle’. These are mantras we hear often whenever the garbage problem is discussed: but all three require commitment, a certain level of awareness, and concern for the environment. None of these seem immediately evident to the average person. Normally we assume that all the re-saleable garbage we throw away will be picked up by rag-pickers. This is not always true. The ragpicker takes what he thinks has value or can be sold, not what we want him to pick up. Paragraph 2: The much-touted ‘source segregation’ method to separate the bio-degradable from the non-biodegradable garbage (usually packaging) continues to see patchy success for various reasons. Coercive methods of penalties and fines are not easily implementable in a democratic polity. The result: many of o...

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it . It is good that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Urjit Patel has finally broken his long silence. Unlike his predecessors, Patel has been reticent in indicating the thinking of the central bank. While the interviews and speeches of governors and deputy governors work as powerful signaling and reassuring measures—both to the markets and to the general citizenry—the silence has also been an eerie signaling mechanism that was shaking our confidence. It is good now that there is some scope for debate and dialogue. The governor’s speech on 14 March at the Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar, highlights significant issues about the difference in the regulation of public and private sector banks. The governor raised the issue of dual control over banks based on ownership issues. The problem is deeper than this. But while recognizing this, one is not sure that the current crisis could have been addr...

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Through meditation we can tap into the power of our soul. Many people live without realising its power. All the treasures such as knowledge, love, fearlessness, connectedness and bliss reside within our deepest Self. The soul is the source of tremendous wisdom, love and power, yet we remain ignorant of it because we are currently lost in the world of illusion.Despite our condition, the empowered soul exists within. It is our true nature, and to reclaim it – so we can tap into its gifts that will enrich our lives – we need to develop our meditation practice. We cannot expect to achieve our goal in the twinkling of an eye. For example, when our houses, roads and parks need repairs, we generally wait for warm and dry weather. Once we begin, we realise that despite our efforts, the renovation won’...

The evolution of intelligence among early large mammals of the grasslands was due in great measure to the interaction between two ecologically synchronized groups of these animals, the hunting carnivores and the herbivores that they hunted. The interaction resulting from the differences between predator and prey led to a general improvement in brain functions; however, certain components of intelligence were improved far more than others. The kind of intelligence favored by the interplay increasingly smarter catchers and increasingly keener escapers is defined by attention—that aspect of mind carrying consciousness forward from one moment to the next. It ranges from a passive, free-floating awareness to a highly focused, active fixation. The range through these states is mediated the arousal system, a network of tracts converging from sensory systems to integrating centers in the brain stem. From the more relaxed to the more vigorous levels, sensitivity to novelty is ...
