Cyril Connolly once wrote: 'The more books we read, the clearer it becomes that the true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and that no other task is of any consequence.' This is tosh, of course, for if every book were a masterpiece, no book would be a masterpiece and we could not know a masterpiece when we read it. They also serve who only sit and write trash. To know the good, we have to know the bad and ________________ .

A key 2009 regulation actualised gram sabha powers by mandating that all forest diversion proposals and compensatory and ameliorative schemes be presented in detail to the relevant gram sabhas to award or withhold its free, prior, informed consent, and also be preceded by the settlement of all rights under the Forest Rights Act (FRA). A decade on, the government has effectively ensured that forest diversion is a given, and the only sanctioned role for Adivasis and forest-dwellers is that of mute rubber stamps. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change formalised this travesty by writing to all States that FRA compliance is not needed for 'in-principle' approval for diversions. Violating the FRA, this damaging move eliminates gram sabhas from decision-making, and makes diversion a violent fait accompli for forest-dwellers.

To begin with, banks and NBFCs will no longer need to report each credit exposure to different systems in different formats. Instead, the Public Credit Registry (PCR) will function as a single-point data repository, and different players in the financial system (banks, NBFCs, credit bureaus, regulators, etc.) will draw data from it adhering to strictly-defined access rules. Secondly, the report proposes an enabling legal framework, which will regulate the collection and sharing of this data. Thirdly, information on each default will be shared on a realtime basis, alerting lenders and triggering corrective actions.

Once we take the numbers present at the protests out of the equation what distinguishes a fringe group from a civil society protest would usually be that civil society movements have a more rational and morally justified case to make. ___________ The dependence on rationality in trying to change urban public opinion is not what it was, anywhere in the world. The Indian politicians have, over a much longer period, treated some issues as being matters of faith, and hence not subject to the rules of rational discourse. With rational argument no longer the sole determinant of the direction public discourse will take, the debates in our cities are increasingly between those who would like to take a somewhat old world liberal view, and those who insist their beliefs do not require rational confirmation.

Question for Practice Questions Level 3: Verbal Analogy
Try yourself:Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows.
Very early in the study of genetics biologists began to pay particular attention to the aberrations now known as mutations; this investigation was initiated by de Vries at the turn of the century and brilliantly developed by Morgan and his school from 1910 on. A gene, by definition, is a living particle that reproduces itself, and nearly always it does so exactly. But occasionally, probably under the influence of some outside agent, it forms an imperfect copy of itself. If this altered gene is able to reproduce itself in its new form, the result is a mutation, which is evidenced in permanent change in some trait of the organism.

So, if there had been a focus on poverty even 50 years ago, why have we not seen it end? This is because the approach of public policy to the problem has been to initiate schemes which could serve as no more than a palliative, as suggested by the very term 'poverty alleviation' commonly used in the discourse of this time. These schemes failed to go to the root of poverty, which is capability deprivation that leaves an individual unable to earn sufficient income through work or entrepreneurship. Income poverty is a manifestation of the deprivation, and focussing exclusively on the income shortfall can address only the symptom.

Question for Practice Questions Level 3: Verbal Analogy
Try yourself:Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows.
Whose government is unostentatious, quite unostentatious, his people will be prosperous, quite prosperous. Whose government is prying, quite prying, his people will be needy, quite needy. Misery, alas! rests upon happiness. Happiness, alas! underlies misery. But who foresees the catastrophe? It will not be prevented!
What is ordinary becomes again extraordinary. What is good becomes again unpropitious. This bewilders people, and it happens constantly since times immemorial.
Therefore, the holy man is square but not sharp, strict but not obnoxious, upright but not restraining, bright but not dazzling. To govern the people is the affair of heaven and there is nothing like thrift; thrift is said to come from early practice.
By early practice it is said that we can accumulate an abundance of virtue. If one accumulates an abundance of virtue then there is nothing that can not be overcome. This is called the possession of deep roots and of a staunch stem. To life, to ever lastingness to comprehension, this is the way.
Treat things before they exist. Regulate things before disorder begins. The stout tree has originated from a tiny rootlet. A tower of nine stories is raised by heaping up (bricks of) clay. A thousand miles' journey begins with a foot. The people when undertaking an enterprise are always near completion, and yet they fail.

The Almighty once decided that he would bestow on the human being every possible virtue that the Almighty could conjure up. ____________ The Almighty called together a conclave of angels and asked for suggestions on what to do. Some angels suggested that the Almighty take away the virtues and stash them in the sky, for Man may never look there. The Almighty reminded them that Man had already traveled to the moon and therefore one day he might discover the virtues hidden in the sky. A few other angels recommended that the almighty bury the virtues under the ocean. The Almighty once again sought the indulgence of the angels and told them that Man would one day send a submarine and discover the virtues. Not having got satisfactory suggestions the Almighty decided that he would consign all the virtues in Man's heart for he would rarely look within.

Question for Practice Questions Level 3: Verbal Analogy
Try yourself:Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows.
Every one has heard people quarrelling. Sometimes it sounds funny and sometimes it sounds merely unpleasant; but however it sounds, I believe we can learn something very important from listening to the kind of things they say.
Now what interests me about all these remarks is that the man who makes them is not merely saying that the other man's behaviour does not happen to please him. He is appealing to some kind of standard of behaviour which he expects the other man to know about. And the other man very seldom replies: To hell with your standards. Nearly always he tries to make out that what he has been doing does not really go against the standard, or that if it does there is some special excuse. He pretends there is some special reason in this particular case why the person who took the seat first should not keep it, or that things were quite different when he was given the bit of orange. It looks, in fact, very much as if both parties had in mind some kind of Law or Rule of fair play or decent behaviour about which they really agreed. If they had not, they might, of course, fight like animals, but they could not quarrel in the human sense of the word. Quarreling means trying to show that the other man is in the wrong. And there would be no sense in trying to do what unless you and he had some sort of agreement as to what Right and Wrong are; just as there would be no sense in saying that a footballer had committed a foul unless there was some agreement about the rules of football.
