IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 2

The following passage given below provides information based on which questions have been given. You are required to read the same carefully and choose the best alternative as your answer for each question.

The future of thousands of children studying medicine in Ukraine and China hangs in balance. When Russia attacked Ukraine, these children had no choice but to return home. Though they made it to the home country in the middle of their studies, thanks to operation Ganga; are now in a quandary as they can neither go back to their college to complete their studies nor join Indian universities as they would not allow them admissions. When they were evacuated, they were promised that they would be able to continue their studies in Indian universities but after months of waiting, they are still waiting for admission.

After trying all channels, they have not received any assurance from anybody regarding their future studies. They cannot return for obvious reasons and cannot study at home. Most of them were pursuing medical science which requires a certain amount of practical training. After exhausting all channels these desperate students sat on a 5-day hunger strike in Delhi. They have made a poignant appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider their request for admission to any Indian university. Even last month these students had sat on a dharna in Jantar Mantar but to no avail. More than 40,000 students studying in Ukraine and China had to abandon their medical courses mid-way due to pandemics and war. While China has agreed to take back students on a case-by-case basis the future of students who were in Ukraine is uncertain. The war is still going on in Ukraine and even if it stopped it is very unlikely that the college they were studying in would resume its normal functioning.

In this situation, the government should be considerate enough to give them some ________ by admitting them to the university as a special case. The biggest stumbling block in admitting these students has been the National Medical Commission which has ruled out transfer or accommodation to any foreign medical students in any Indian medical institute or university since there are no such provisions in the Indian Medical Council Act 1956 and the National Medical Commission Act, 2019. These children have already gone through a lot of trauma and if they are denied education in their own country their life would be ruined. Rules must be amended to accommodate these children. Definitely, some special arrangements can be made by which these students could complete this course and pursue their careers.

Q. Which of the given statements summarizes the idea being discussed in the passage?

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 2
The given passage talks at length about the medical students who had to leave their studies and their anxiety about their future and their careers. Some were forced to leave the war-torn Ukraine and some the pandemic-stricken China.

These students have been sitting on dharnas etc to get some clarity over their admissions.

This resonates with the first option. The second and the third options simply mention students and do not clearly talk about the medical students. (e) is a generalised option that talks about students all over the world. (d) mentions a certain law that isn’t the sole idea of the passage.

So, the best is to mark option (a) as the answer.

In the sentences below, a portion (a phrase or a group of words) is marked in underline. Choose the best replacement for the part in underline, as per the options are given below, to make the sentence meaningful and grammatically correct.

Q. It was past midnight, Raj told his kids to hand a sack.

I. Uprise

II. Doze off

III. Awake

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 4
to hand a sack is a wrong phrase, the correct phrase being to hit the sack which means to go to bed so the correct word replacing it would be doze off.

Up rise means to wake up and the same goes for awake.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 5

The following passage given below provides information based on which questions have been given. You are required to read the same carefully and choose the best alternative as your answer for each question.

The future of thousands of children studying medicine in Ukraine and China hangs in balance. When Russia attacked Ukraine, these children had no choice but to return home. Though they made it to the home country in the middle of their studies, thanks to operation Ganga; are now in a quandary as they can neither go back to their college to complete their studies nor join Indian universities as they would not allow them admissions. When they were evacuated, they were promised that they would be able to continue their studies in Indian universities but after months of waiting, they are still waiting for admission.

While China has agreed to take back students on a case-by-case basis the future of students who were in Ukraine is uncertain. The war is still going on in Ukraine and even if it stopped it is very unlikely that the college they were studying in would resume its normal functioning.

These children have already gone through a lot of trauma and if they are denied education in their own country their life would be ruined. Rules must be amended to accommodate these children. Definitely, some special arrangements can be made by which these students could complete this course and pursue their careers.

Q. Which of the given options would explain the phrase ‘hangs in balance’ as used in the passage?

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 5
The future of the students as being discussed is uncertain and they are not sure about getting any clue about their admission due to which they are upset and trying to catch the attention of the PM.

Suspense is a word that doesn’t fit the context so this option can be ruled out. The second option sounds superfluous as protection is not the actual concern of the students but their career is. The third option says ‘certain about the future’ which is exactly the opposite of what is true.

To hang in balance is to be uncertain about something. So, the fifth option will be correct ie; (e).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 6

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 8
The first sentence is not correct as the students went on a 5-day hunger strike in Delhi and then a dharna at the Jantar Mantar as per the passage. This option seems to mix the two.

The third option is incorrect as China said so and not Ukraine. The fourth statement however, is correct as in the last paragraph it has been clearly mentioned so.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

The passage is about a robbery. And that police has successfully cracked or solved the mystery behind it. So, the First sentence is S. It should be followed by sentence Q, which is a continuation of the ''the sensational train heist case.'' Third sentence is R, which presents us more details about the incident, and continues with sentence T, which is the fourth sentence. Thus, the Last sentence is P.

Thus, the correct chronological order for the passage is SQRTP.

The ordered paragraph will be: In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch CID of the Tamil Nadu police has cracked the sensational train heist case in which ₹5.75 crore cash assigned to the Reserve Bank of India was looted from a moving train couple of years ago.

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 20

The following passage given below provides information based on which questions have been given. You are required to read the same carefully and choose the best alternative as your answer for each question.

The future of thousands of children studying medicine in Ukraine and China hangs in balance. When Russia attacked Ukraine, these children had no choice but to return home. Though they made it to the home country in the middle of their studies, thanks to operation Ganga; are now in a quandary as they can neither go back to their college to complete their studies nor join Indian universities as they would not allow them admissions. When they were evacuated, they were promised that they would be able to continue their studies in Indian universities but after months of waiting, they are still waiting for admission.

After trying all channels, they have not received any assurance from anybody regarding their future studies. They cannot return for obvious reasons and cannot study at home. Most of them were pursuing medical science which requires a certain amount of practical training. After exhausting all channels these desperate students sat on a 5-day hunger strike in Delhi. They have made a poignant appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider their request for admission to any Indian university. Even last month these students had sat on a dharna in Jantar Mantar but to no avail. More than 40,000 students studying in Ukraine and China had to abandon their medical courses mid-way due to pandemics and war. While China has agreed to take back students on a case-by-case basis the future of students who were in Ukraine is uncertain. The war is still going on in Ukraine and even if it stopped it is very unlikely that the college they were studying in would resume its normal functioning.

In this situation, the government should be considerate enough to give them some ________ by admitting them to the university as a special case. The biggest stumbling block in admitting these students has been the National Medical Commission which has ruled out transfer or accommodation to any foreign medical students in any Indian medical institute or university since there are no such provisions in the Indian Medical Council Act 1956 and the National Medical Commission Act, 2019. These children have already gone through a lot of trauma and if they are denied education in their own country their life would be ruined. Rules must be amended to accommodate these children. Definitely, some special arrangements can be made by which these students could complete this course and pursue their careers.

Q. Which of the given words would fill the blank given in the sentence given in the passage?

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 20
The word beginning does not fit grammatically or contextually so can be ruled out. Condemnation means criticism which is also a misfit.

The students are not in need of any reinforcement or funds rather, they need admissions which would provide them some relief that their careers will not be hampered.

So, the correct word that would complete the sentence appropriately is respite.

Thus, option (b) will be the best.

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 21

Q. It’s estranged that, on any given day, ten thousand species are being given between the world just in the ballast water of our supertankers.

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 21
Estranged means divided. Estimated is the correct usage. For the second phrase, between will not be used as it must separate two objects. Thus, around will be used. Obviously, ten thousand species are not grown around the world in the water of our tankers. Thus, they are being moved around.

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 23
The introductory line mentions the statements made by Justice Raman about the media and the possible responses that the media has. The remarks obviously don’t look to be pleasant as the paragraph that follows doesn’t hint at the same.

This cancels commendable because it means praise-worthy. Allegation does not fit in grammatically. Devastating is an extreme word used for people or situations that are capable of completely breaking someone or are too damaging for anyone to bear.

Complimentary is unrelated and, does not fit contextually. Scathing means critical and serious.

So, the correct word to be filled should be option (c).

Mr. Pontellier, unable to read his newspaper with any degree of comfort, arose with an expression and an exclamation of disgust.

He walked down the gallery and across the narrow “bridges” which connected the Lebrun cottages one with the other. He stopped before the door of his own cottage, which was the fourth one from the main building and next to the last. Seating himself in a wicker rocker which was there, he once more applied himself to the task of reading the newspaper. The day was Sunday; the paper was a day old. The Sunday papers had not yet reached Grand Isle. He was already acquainted with the market reports, and he glanced restlessly over the editorials and bits of news which he had not had time to read before quitting New Orleans the day before.

Mr. Pontellier wore eye-glasses. He was a man of forty, of medium height and rather slender build; he stooped a little. His hair was brown and straight, parted on one side. His beard was neatly and closely trimmed.(230 words)
