The norm of anonymity means that the civil servants must work from behind the curtain, without praise or blame. In the word of Mohit Bhattacharya, "Anonymity meant that the civil servant would merely advice the politician from behind and would be protected from being exposed to the din and fury of politics. The norm of anonymity requires that the minister has to answer for the actions of the civil servants working under him in the parliament and thus, protect them from the criticism of the parliamentarians. This implies that the minister assumes total responsibility for the commissions and omissions of the civil servants working under him. The minister runs his department / ministry and is politically responsible for its activities. He is mainly concerned with policy and consults his secretary on policy decisions. It is the Minister who decide which course of action to adopt. He alone would be answerable in the parliament for good and bad results of the policy, not the secretary. Therefore, the norm of anonymity is the counterpart of the principle of ministerial responsibility. In other words, the principle of anonymity goes hand in hand with the principle of ministerial responsibility.

Which among the following is not implied by anonymity in the passage above?

What does collective responsibility mean as per the passage above?

Detailed Solution for Sikkim PCS Prelims Paper-II Mock Test- 5 - Question 2

Collective responsibility means that the executive shall be responsible to the parliament for their action and policies. Thus, the principle of ministerial responsibility ensures that for every act or wrong act in his Ministry / department, the minister has to answer in the parliament and protect the civil servants working under him from the criticism of the parliament. So, the executive is responsible to the parliament for all its actions and policies.

One-way governments can decrease air pollution is to impose a tax on industrial carbon dioxide emissions. It is not clear how high taxes imposed on carbon dioxide emissions should be or what its economic and environmental implications would be. At first glance, it is not difficult to estimate roughly the size of the tax needed to effect a given level of emission reduction. One writer estimate, for example, that a tax of 41 percent on the price of coal, 33 percent on oil, and 25 percent on gas would reduce the United Kingdom’s emissions by 20 percent (using 1988as the base year) by the year 2005, the target recommended by the 1988 Toronto Conference. These numbers are based on the assumption that all countries will behave cooperatively in imposing a carbon tax.

Q. According to the passage, the size of the carbon tax levied on a given fuel would vary with the
Detailed Solution for Sikkim PCS Prelims Paper-II Mock Test- 5 - Question 12
In the passage it is mentioned that “a tax of 41 percent on the price of coal, 33 percent on oil, and 25 percent on gas” implies that according to the passage, the size of the carbon tax levied on a given fuel would vary with the amount of pollution caused by the fuel being taxed.

One-way governments can decrease air pollution is to impose a tax on industrial carbon dioxide emissions. A significant decrease is achieved only when all countries will behave cooperatively in imposing carbon tax. There are very strong reasons to believe that cooperation would be difficult to win. If most countries cooperated, then any country that chose not to cooperate would be advantaged: it would have no abatement costs, and the effect on the environment of its defection would be relatively small. Because of this "free rider" effect, cooperation on a scale needed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions might prove elusive. Should countries act unilaterally to curb emissions? If a country were to act unilaterally, the benefits would be spread across the globe, whereas the costs would fall solely on the country taking the action. The action would reduce emissions globally, and the effect of this would be to reduce the benefit other countries would receive if they reduced emissions. As a consequence, other countries would have less incentive to reduce emissions and would probably emit more carbon dioxide than they would have if the unilateral action had not been taken. The entire effect of the emission reduction may not be lost, but it would surely be diminished by this free-riding behaviour.

Q. Which one of the following is most parallel to the "free rider” effect mentioned in passage?

a, b, c, d and e are five consecutive integers in increasing order of size. Which one of the following expressions is not odd?
Detailed Solution for Sikkim PCS Prelims Paper-II Mock Test- 5 - Question 16

Choice (A):ab+c

At least one of every two consecutive positive integers a and b must be even.

Hence, the product ab is an even number.

Now, if c is odd (which happens when a is odd), ab+c must be odd.

For example, If a=3, b=4, and c=5, then ab+c must equal 12 + 5 = 17, an odd number. Reject.

Choice (B):ab+d

We know that ab being the product of two consecutive numbers must be even. Hence, if d happens to be an odd number (it happens when b is odd), then the sum ab+d is also odd.

For example, If a=4, then b=5, c=6 and d=7, then ab+d =3×5+7=15+7=23, an odd number. Correct.

Choice (C):ac+e

Suppose a is an odd number.

Then both c and e must also be odd.

Now, ac is product of two odd numbers and therefore must be odd.

Summing this with another odd number e yields an even number.

For example, if a=1, then c must equal 3, and e must equal 5 and ac+e must equal 1 × 3 + 5 = 8, an even number.

Now, suppose a is an even number.

Then both c and e must also be even.

Hence, ac+e = (product of two even numbers) + (an even number) =(even number) + (even number) =an even number

For example,

If a=2, then c must equal 4, and e must equal 6 and the expression ac+e equals 14, an even number. Hence, in any case, ac + e is even. Correct.

Choice (D): Both (B) and (C)

In the recent Justice as Translation, James Boyd White argues that opinion-writing should be regarded as an act of "translation,” and judges as "translators.” As such, judges find themselves mediating between the authoritative legal text and the pressing legal problem that demands resolution.

Passage 2

The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre was a series of Catholic mob violence episodes against members of the French Protestant Reformed Church. On August 24, 1572, Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the leader of the Protestant Reformed Church, was murdered, and this set of a crime wave that continued for well over one month and spread throughout the French countryside. In all, it is estimated that 50,000 people were killed. The events which transpired in France in August and September of 1572 were the result of many factors, including the Glorious Reformation which had its roots in Germany and because of growing strife within the Catholic Church. However, historians disagree whether the massacre was premeditated, and in fact many now agree that Rome had only a secondary role in the planning and execution of the massacre. However, proponents of the idea that Rome was directly responsible for the massacre refer to the fact that Pope Gregory XIII commissioned the production of a special commemorative medal to honor the massacre of the Protestants.
