The _____________ play caused me to squirm in my seat, but she began to ______________ her eyes in a way that irritated me.

DIRECTIONS for the question: Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

A. Error Management Theory predicts that women have an evolved bias to be skeptical of men’s commitment in a relationship, which reduces the likelihood of making a costly false positive error.

B. We predicted and found that women’s mating cognitions are functionally flexible, such that women do not exhibit the commitment-skepticism bias when faced with behavioral evidence that a male partner is willing to commit.

C. If a woman overestimates her romantic partner’s commitment, the cost to her fitness—reproduction without an investing partner—can be considerable.

D. However, because error probabilities are inversely related, this commitment-skepticism bias simultaneously increases the likelihood of missed opportunities, or false negatives.

E. This suggests that relationship-enhancing behaviors are one contextual cue that may lessen the bias.

F. False positives when gauging a partner’s commitment are the more costly error for women, but missing an opportunity to secure a genuinely high-quality mate can also be quite costly.

DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the passage and answer the question based on it.

If Indian exporters say the biggest exports they do are within India, it would be only half in jest. It would be a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the red tape that has long plagued the sector, which requires them to ship tonnes of documents such as letter of credit, copy of proof of advance payment, print-out of application form, foreign inward remittance certificate, etc. to government offices, accompanied by numerous visits. Taken together, these documents would total a whopping 25,000 pages every month, never mind that they ultimately gather dust in storerooms.
In the first week of January, the government decided to rid exporters and itself of this system. Director general of foreign trade (DGFT) Anup K Pujari, who issued the notification, sees the end to submission of documents a New Year gift to exporters, particularly those in the business of commodities such as cotton yarn, nonbasmati rice, wheat, sugar and the like. "We are trusting our exporters. If a cotton yarn exporter, for example, gives us details of his export online, we won't press for any proof," he says.
The idea behind doing away with document submission is to make exports hassle-free, according to Pujari. To be sure, it is not a one-off step. Pujari's department had earlier enabled exporters to electronically avail a bank realization certificate (BRC), which is essential to receive refunds from the government under various schemes. This not only ended a visit to the bank branch, it was also 25% cheaper. Thanks to e-BRC, the government claims that exporters are saving about Rs 2,000 crore annually.
These reforms are godsend for exporters. But many hassles remain. The list is actually pretty long — for instance, there are multiple bottlenecks in custom clearance and delays in receiving refunds. But for many exporters, the real monster is customs, the government agency tasked with collecting duties on foreign trade. Exporters turn nervous wrecks as the bill of entry undergoes scrutiny by clerks, appraising officers, assistant commissioners, preventive officers and so on. A two-day sick leave by a customs officer may delay the shipment and result in huge losses to an exporter, particularly in a non-EDI (electronic data interchange) or manual port.
OP Hisaria, senior vice-president of Reliance Industries (RIL), says the introduction of e-BRC has not only removed the drudgery from the process but also reduced transaction cost and time. But he is quick to add that removing hassles in exports and simplification of processes is a continuous process. The exports of India's largest private enterprise, owned by billionaire MukeshAmbani, are worth $44 billion a year and constitute over 14% of India's total exports. Reliance has made various recommendations to the government to make exports easy, Hisaria adds, without disclosing the details of the company's wish-list. For RIL and other export majors, shifting to electronic mode of BRCs is a game-changer in itself. "Obtaining physical BRCs from more than 15 banks that we deal with for 18,000 shipping bills per year was tedious and time-consuming," says Hisaria.
That said, the reforms in recent times can at best be termed baby steps. India has not yet moved to a regime where trust, and not suspicion, is the hallmark of the country's export policy. Add to that the multiple government agencies and departments that play some role or the other, exporters live in constant trepidation, even dread. KT Chacko, former DGFT and former head of Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, says the government should not suspect that all exporters are wrongdoers. "Once we have such a mechanism, 95% of exporters who believe in self-compliance will benefit. But it should be made clear that deviations from rules will be dealt with a heavy hand, maybe even cancellation of export licences," he says.
