For sure, India is in the midst of a jobs crisis. But the step the Kamal Nath government has taken could worsen the situation. 1) ___________. MP workers in other states could become unsafe too. 2) __________. Industrial policy can be used as a tool to incentivise more labour intensive manufacturing. Congress president Rahul Gandhi must persuade his party colleague to roll back this measure.

A. Instead of reserving jobs, the MP government needs to look at ways in which the total number of jobs can increase
B. If other states begin to follow this route, it will lead to serious social problems
C. In reality it is nothing more than a system of rationing jobs in a provincial way.

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 1

Blank (1): 

  • The paragraph starts with the writer mentioning a decision that would worsen the job crisis situation in MP.
  • 'B' gives cautions against the negative results of this decision; 'other states following it leading to serious social problems'. The blank is followed by another related consequence of the decision; i.e. 'MP workers in other states would be feeling unsafe'.
  • It's clear 'B' fits in the blank perfectly.

Blank (2):

  • The sentences preceding the blank warns the MP government against the ramifications of the decision.
  • In 'A', he suggests what course of action the government should follow. He suggests that total number of jobs should be increased.
  • It's clear that 'A' fits in the blank perfectly.

Whether they wear a dupatta or a ghoonghat, a flimsy headscarf or a heavy veil, a miniskirt or a pantsuit, others have no business judging women on their appearance.

A. Those who do wear it, whether to show membership in a community or for reasons of faith or indeed to live free of the male gaze, have every right to do so too
B. Hijab or niqab has nothing to do with Islam. It is more of a type of clothing required to survive in inclement dusty conditions of Middle East, where dust is everywhere.

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 2

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 4

The correct answer is option 2).

  • While changing the narration of an imperative sentence, we need to follow these steps
  • If the sentence is starting with "You should" and there is a statement, we make the following changes-
    • The reporting verb said is changed into stated or asserted.
    • The conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas.
    • We will convert the Given sentence from imperative to Assertive then make changes into like we do while changing the narration of an assertive sentence.
    • The assertive sentence for the given Imperative sentence will be- "I should have been here yesterday."
    • The second person 'you' will be changed into 'I'.
    • The adverb of time (yesterday) will be changed in to ‘the day before’.
    • The tense of the given sentence is past progressive tense (should have been) which remains unchanged in the indirect sentence.

Eventually, we will get the final sentence- " Shukla stated that I should have been here the day before today."

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 5

  • The introductory sentence must start with the information about the given passage.
  • We will thus fill Blank 1 with statement C as it is giving an introduction to the passage.
  • Further in the passage, we can infer the details about the orbiter.
  • The sentence that follows the extract must also be in continuation with the previous line. 
  • We will thus fill blank 2 with statement A as it tells us about the orbiter's equipment details.
  • Hence, option 2 i.e. '1C, 2A' is the correct answer.​

Land and housing rights have been a contentious topic in Kyrgyzstan since the country achieved independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Although under Kyrgyz law the state is supposed to provide a free plot of land to every citizen, as Eurasianet notes, “In reality, a land-allocation process thick with corruption and bureaucratic obstacles awaits anyone attempting to claim his share.” As a result, while elites and those with access to them have acquired more than their fair share of land for housing and construction projects, the majority of the population has been left to fend for themselves, vulnerable to elite power plays and manipulation. __________.

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 7

This is especially true in and around Bishkek, where prime land is very attractive and expensive due to plot scarcity and services availability.

The paragraph talks about the unavailability of land to the Kyrgystan’s citizens that is supposed to provide free to every citizen under Kyrgyz law.

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 8

The road was then decommissioned in favor of wildlife, forming part of what is now known as the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. ________. This sprawling tropical forest dodged a bullet with the closure of that road, though a highway, set to widen and upgrade, and a bullet train whizzing down from Yunnan, China will one day pass close.  

Detailed Solution for Test: Paragraph Completion - Question 9

This is one of the last places you’ll find a breeding population of Indochinese tigers.

The paragraph is about the old access road that was once a sealed highway and then it was declared a national park and a contiguous forest.
