Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
A few years ago it seemed as if the moment for stand-up comedy had arrived. By the end of 2017, stand-up comedians were on the cover of a magazine, signaling the coming of age of the industry.
The stand-up game attracted investors in the right places: on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, apart from increasing open mic schedules in venues across cities. Two major companies Comedy Store and Canvas Laugh Club arrived on the scene and were game changers.
But despite a heady start, the comic landscape has changed drastically today with stand-up comedians feeling the brunt of faltering payments and cancelled shows.
Despite a good start, the Indian stand-up industry is still unorganized and uncertain for comics.
If you ask viral comic Kunal Kamra about the scene, he says that the audience isn't really 'invested' in the art form at the moment and that only ten or twenty tickets would sell if comics weren't on the internet promoting themselves. And this is despite the surge in open mics and more stand-ups coming in.
Last year, new-age Indian comedy's reputation came under strain when allegations under the #MeToo movement exposed a darker side of the circuit. Since then, the big three comedy groups: All India Bakchod, SNG Comedy and East India Comedy, have either disbanded or had founding members quit.
Jeeya Sethi, a leading comedian says, ''It's a good thing that these-collectives have died because they mostly had men with no women being showcased.''
Sethi adds saying that it isn't as easy as it sounds. ''In a fledgling industry, a viral YouTube video isn't a sign that you've made it''. Craft takes time. Every comic who does two open mics calls himself a comedian. In my opinion, you have to do comedy for more than 20 years to be a comic. It takes at least five years to find your voice.''
Q. The stand-up comedy show had a wonderful start because-
1. Open mic shows were held in venues across cities.
2. Leading companies came forward to support artists.
3. Payments to artists were prompt and good.
4. Some Bollywood directors offered them roles.
5. Comedians were given good media coverage.
  • a)
    3, 4 and 5
  • b)
    1, 2 and 5
  • c)
    2, 4 and 5
  • d)
    2, 3 and 4

Understanding the Answer: Option B
The passage discusses the initial success of the stand-up comedy industry, highlighting several factors that contributed to its positive start. Here's a detailed breakdown of why option B (1, 2, and 5) is the correct answer.
Key Factors for the Great Start
- Open Mic Shows:
The passage points out the increase in open mic schedules across various cities, indicating that more opportunities for comedians to perform were available. This accessibility helped in nurturing talent.
- Support from Leading Companies:
The arrival of major companies like Comedy Store and Canvas Laugh Club marked a significant change in the industry. Their backing provided resources and platforms for comedians to showcase their work effectively.
- Good Media Coverage:
Comedians being featured on magazine covers signified that the industry was gaining recognition. This media attention likely helped in elevating the status of stand-up comedy and attracting more audiences.
Why Other Options Don't Fit
- Prompt Payments:
The passage indicates that stand-up comedians are currently facing issues with faltering payments, which contradicts the notion that payments were prompt and good.
- Bollywood Roles:
There is no mention of Bollywood directors offering roles to comedians in the passage, making this option irrelevant.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the original success of the stand-up comedy scene can be attributed to the rise of open mic events, significant support from established companies, and favorable media coverage, which aligns with the points listed in option B.

How has the situation been reversed from the early success of stand-up comedy?

Directions: In the question below, a statement is followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. A course of action is a step or administrative decision to be taken for improvement, follow-up or further action in regard to the problem, policy etc. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.Statement:Proportion of females compared to that of males in the population of our country has drastically gone down in the recent past.Courses of action:I. Social workers should take up the task of emphasising the importance of having at least one female child in each family in both rural and urban areas of the country.II. Government should severely punish the persons involved in the practice of female foeticide.

Direction: It is sad that in country after country, progress should become synonymous with an assault on nature. We who are a part of nature and dependent on her for every need, speak constantly about exploiting nature. When the highest mountain in the world was climbed in 1953, Jawaharlal Nehru objected to the phrase conquest of Everest which he thought was arrogant. Is it surprising that this lack of consideration and the constant need to prove ones superiority should be projected on to our treatment of our fellowmen? I remember Edward Thompson, a British writer and a good friend of India, once telling Mr. Gandhi that wildlife was fast disappearing. Remarked Mr. Gandhi: ‘It is decreasing in the jungles but it is increasing in the towns’ On the one hand, the rich look askance at our continuing poverty; on the other they warn us against their own methods. We do not wish to impoverish the environment any further and yet we cannot forget the grim poverty of large numbers of people.Are not poverty and need the great polluters? For instance, unless we are in a position to provide employment and purchasing power for the daily necessities of the tribal people and those who live in and around our jungles, we cannot prevent them from combing the forest for food and livelihood, from poaching and from despoiling the vegetation.Q.Gandhis statement It is decreasing in the jungles but it is increasing in the towns.
