Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

However rhetorical as it may sound, the reality is that threat to security has become a ubiquitous concern in all aspects of governance in China. Under President Xi Jinping, Chinese ____(A)____on national security has repeatedly underlined that the idea of ‘development’ cannot be isolated from that of ‘security’. On numerous occasions, including at the 20th Party Congress last year and the Two Sessions (the annual plenary sessions of the National People’s Congress and of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) this year, Mr. Xi ___(B)__the need to balance development with security. (C) China’s incessant attempt to securitise its development has meant (D) nontraditional security issues have acquired greater significance in its developmental narrative. And among all the nontraditional security issues, cybersecurity and data/information security seem to concern Chinese authorities the most. This is apparent in their recent attempts to strengthen cybersecurity and counter-espionage laws. (E) The recently amended Counter-espionage Law (1) broadening the scope of espionage, (2) aims to treat all “documents, data, materials, and items relating to national security and interests,” (3) at par with state secrets, thus, (4) that will come into effect from July 1, 2023. It also expands the definition of espionage to include cyberattacks against state organs or critical information infrastructure. (F) The revised law also empowers authorities to seize data, electronic equipment, and information on personal property, and even ban border crossing. Following up on the above amendments, China also unveiled in late May its position paper on Global Digital Governance that calls upon States to “respect the sovereignty, jurisdiction and governance of data of other States,” and to “not obtain data located in other States through companies or individuals without other States’ permission.” 

Q. Which among the following would grammatically and contextually fit in the blank (A) in the paragraph?

Q. Which among the following connector(s) would join the sentences C and D keeping them grammatically and contextually correct and the meaning intact?

I. despite
II. that
III. because
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 3 - Question 4

By using "that" as a subordinating conjunction, the sentence structure remains grammatically correct, and the meaning is preserved. The subordinate clause introduced by "that" (nontraditional security issues have acquired greater significance in its developmental narrative) adds more information to support the statement in the main clause (China's attempt to securitize its development).
I. Despite: The word "despite" indicates a contrast or opposition between two ideas. However, in this case, the two sentences do not present opposing ideas or contrasting information. Therefore, "despite" would not be appropriate to join these sentences.
III. Because: The word "because" indicates a cause-and-effect relationship, where one statement provides the reason or explanation for the other. While the second sentence provides information that supports the first sentence, it does not directly explain or provide a reason for it. Thus, "because" would not be the suitable connector to join these sentences.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

And among all the nontraditional security issues, cybersecurity and data/information security seem to concern Chinese authorities the most. This is apparent in their recent attempts to strengthen cybersecurity and counter-espionage laws.

Q. Which among the following convey(s) the meaning as the statement F and is / are grammatically and contextually correct?

I. The revised law enables authorities to recover lost data, electronic equipment, and personal property information because it also allows for the imposition of border crossing bans.
II. The updated legislation additionally grants authorities the ability to confiscate data, electronic devices, and personal property information, as well as impose restrictions on crossing borders.
III. While the revised law may provide authorities with the ability to seize data, electronic equipment, and personal property information, it is important to consider the potential negative implications.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 3 - Question 5

Option I does not convey the same meaning as the statement. It introduces the concept of recovering lost data, which is not mentioned in the original statement. Additionally, it does not mention the authority's power to ban border crossing, which is a key aspect of the original statement.
Option II conveys the same meaning as the original statement. It accurately states that the updated legislation grants authorities the power to confiscate data, electronic devices, and personal property information. It also mentions the authority's ability to impose restrictions on crossing borders, which aligns with the original statement.
Option III introduces the idea of considering potential negative implications, which is not explicitly mentioned in the original statement. While it provides an alternative perspective, it does not accurately convey the same meaning as the original statement.
Therefore, only Option II is grammatically and contextually correct while conveying the meaning of the original statement and thereby option D is the correct answer.

Complimentary: combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of each other or another.

Precarious: not securely held or in position; dangerously likely to fall or collapse.

Critical: involving the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement.

The Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT), a dedicated court for antitrust appeals, was dissolved along with eight other tribunals in a/ an _____(D)_____ of judicial rationalizations in 2017. Its powers were merged with the NCLAT without a commensurate expansion in the latter’s capacity. Simultaneously, approximately 50 per cent of CCI decisions were appealed to the NCLAT over the last couple of years—a non-trivial antitrust workload! This demands specialization, whereas the qualification _____(E)_____  to become an NCLAT member does not mandate experience in competition matters.

Q. Which of the following can fit in blank B?

(i) Relevant
(ii) Capable
(iii) Incapacitated
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 3 - Question 14

Refer: Therefore, if the framework is _____(B)_____, there will be an unfair application of law, which defeats the purpose of the legislation.

Explanation:

Relevant: closely connected or appropriate to what is being done or considered.

Capable: having the ability, fitness, or quality necessary to do or achieve a specified thing.

Incapacitated: deprived of strength or power or debilitated.

The idea here is to express that if the frame does not function properly, considering this context, the only suitable option is ‘incapacitated’.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Directions: In the following passage, some of the words have been left out and replaced by a blank represented by a letter. First read the passage and try to understand what it is about. Then fill in the blanks as per the questions given.

Regulatory frameworks stand on three pillars. These include a governing law, an empowered regulator and a fair appeals mechanism. An appellate mechanism is a / an _____(A)_____ part of this framework because it ensures an opportunity to remedy inappropriate application of governing laws. Therefore, if the framework is _____(B)_____, there will be an unfair application of law, which defeats the purpose of the legislation. This incapacity can take two forms—insufficient subject area specialization and limited _____(C)_____  of the appellate mechanism to carry out such a process. These are particularly problematic in the case of complex digital ecosystems.

The Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT), a dedicated court for antitrust appeals, was dissolved along with eight other tribunals in a/ an _____(D)_____ of judicial rationalizations in 2017. Its powers were merged with the NCLAT without a commensurate expansion in the latter’s capacity. Simultaneously, approximately 50 per cent of CCI decisions were appealed to the NCLAT over the last couple of years—a non-trivial antitrust workload! This demands specialization, whereas the qualification _____(E)_____  to become an NCLAT member does not mandate experience in competition matters.

Q. Which of the following can fit in blank D?

(i) Dearth
(ii) Spate
(iii) Paucity
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 3 - Question 15

Refer: The Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT), a dedicated court for antitrust appeals, was dissolved along with eight other tribunals in a/ an _____(D)_____ of judicial rationalizations in 2017. Its powers were merged with the NCLAT without a commensurate expansion in the latter’s capacity.

Explanation:

Dearth: lack of something

Spate: a large number of similar things coming in quick succession

Paucity: insufficient amount of something

The idea here is to specify the sudden rush of judicial rationalizations in 2017, thus ‘in a spate’ would be an apt phrase. Therefore, only ‘spate’ fits the blank while ‘dearth’ and ‘paucity’ are absurd choices.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
