Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
I opened the bag and packed the boots in, and then, just as I was going to close it, a horrible idea occurred to me. Had I packed my toothbrush ? I don't know how it is, but I never do know whether I've packed my toothbrush. My toothbrush is a thing that haunts me when I'm travelling, and makes my life a misery. I dream that I haven't packed it and wake up in a cold perspiration and get out of bed and hunt for it. And, in the morning. I pack it before I have used it and it is always the last thing I turn out of the bag and then. I repack and forget it and have to rush upstairs for it at the last moment and carry it to the railway station, wrapped up in my pocket-handkerchief.
Q. When he was going to close the bag, the idea that occurred to him was ?
Direction: The financialisation of commodity trade and current extraordinary conditions in global financial markets could have influenced the spurt in prices. The recent reductions in interest rates in the US and the injection of liquidity have resulted in investors seeking new avenues such as commodity markets, in view of the turbulence in financial markets and the low return in treasuries. The relatively easy liquidity and low interest rates, by themselves, make holding of inventories attractive and thus induce greater volatility in commodity markets. The weakening of the US dollar is also advanced as a reason for the recent volatility in commodity markets, including food items. It is evident that this phenomenon is now also coinciding with the across-the-board rise in food prices.
Q. Which of the following situations has/have prompted investors to look towards commodity markets?
I. Dip in rates of internet in the US.
II. Easy Liquidity
III. Volatility in commodity prices.
