SBI CBO Mock Test - 1 - Question 1

Once surrounded and protected by vast wilderness, many of the national parks are adversely affected by activities outside their boundaries. The National Park Organic Act established the national park system and empowered the Secretary of the Interior to manage activities within the parks. Conditions outside park boundaries are not subject to regulation by the Park Service unless they involve the direct use of park resources.

Several approaches to protecting the national parks from external degradation have been proposed, such as one focusing on enacting federal legislation granting the National Park Service broader powers over lands adjacent to the national parks. Legislation addressing external threats to the national parks twice passed the House of Representatives but died without action in the Senate. Also brought to the table as a possible remedy is giving the states bordering the parks a significant and meaningful role in developing federal park management policy.

Because the livelihood of many citizens is linked to the management of national parks, local politicians often encourage state involvement in federal planning. But, state legislatures have not always addressed the fundamental policy issues of whether states should protect park wildlife.

Timber harvesting, ranching and energy exploration compete with wildlife within the local ecosystem. Priorities among different land uses are not generally established by current legislation. Additionally, often no mechanism exists to coordinate planning by the state environmental regulatory agencies. These factors limit the impact of legislation aimed at protecting park wildlife and the larger park ecosystem.

Even if these deficiencies can be overcome, state participation must be consistent with existing federal legislation. States lack jurisdiction within national parks themselves, and therefore state solutions cannot reach activities inside the parks, thus limiting state action to the land adjacent to the national parks. Under the supremacy clause, federal laws and regulations supersede state action if state law conflicts with federal legislation, if Congress precludes local regulation, or if federal regulation is so pervasive that no room remains for state control. Assuming that federal regulations leave open the possibility of state control, state participation in policy making must be harmonized with existing federal legislation.

The residents of states bordering national parks are affected by park management policies. They in turn affect the success of those policies. This interrelationship must be considered in responding to the external threats problem. Local participation is necessary in deciding how to protect park wildlife. Local interests should not, however, dictate national policy, nor should they be used as a pretext to ignore the threats to park regions. 

Direction: Read the above Paragraph and answer the following Questions
Q. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage? 

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 1 - Question 1

Mapping the Passage:

  • Para 1 describes a problem facing national parks: negative effects from the land surrounding them.
  • Para 2 describes one approach to dealing with the problem: federal legislation, which failed.
  • Para 3 and 4 describe a second approach: giving power to states to cooperate with adjacent national parks, and describe the problems with it.
  • Para 5 argues that state participation must be tied to federal regulations.
  • Para 6 argues that any solution requires a national response with elements of local participation.

If you have mapped the passage correctly you will notice that most of the passage discusses the different approaches that can be taken to solve the problem of degradation of national parks.
Option C matches best with this.

SBI CBO Mock Test - 1 - Question 2

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 1 - Question 2

Mapping the Passage:

  • Para 5 argues that state participation must be tied to federal regulations.
  • Para 6 argues that any solution requires a national response with elements of local participation.

Go to the last paragraph, which discusses a combination of national and local responses. It argues that this cooperation is necessary in order to ― protect park wildlife. If this cooperation doesn‘t occur then, wildlife would presumably be harmed.
