In most schools today the primary consideration for homogeneous grouping is based on:

किसी उत्पाद का इस्तेमाल करके उपभोक्ता भी बाजार में भागीदार बन जाता है। यदि उपभोक्ता नही होंगे तो किसी भी कंपनी का अस्तित्व नही होगा। जहाँ तक उपभोक्ता के अधिकार का सवाल है तो उपभोक्ता की स्थिति दयनीय ही कही जायेगी। इसको समझने के लिए आप वैसे दुकानदार का उदाहरण ले सकते है जो कम वजन तौलता है या वह कम्पनी जो अपने पैक पर झूठे वादे करती है। ज्यादातर मिठाई बेचने वाले कच्चे माल में मिलावट करके लड्डू या बर्फी बनाते है। कुछ वर्षो पहले मिलावटी सरसों तेल से फैलने वाली ड्रॉप्सी नाम की बीमारी आपको याद होगी। यदि आपने कभी ट्रेन से सफर किया होगा तो आपको पता होगा कि ट्रेन में बिकने वाले खाने पीने की ज्यादातर चीजे घटिया होती है। यहाँ तक की पैंट्री में मिलने वाला खाना भी घटिया क्वालिटी का होता है। भारत में मिलावट, कालाबाजारी, जमाखोरी, कम वजन आदि की पुरानी परम्परा रही है। 1960 के दशक से भारत में उपभोक्ता आन्दोलन शुरू हुए थे। 1970 के दशक तक उपभोक्ता आन्दोलन केवल आर्टिकल लिखने और प्रदर्शनी लगाने तक ही सीमित था। लेकिन हाल के वर्षो में उपभोक्ता संगठनों की संख्या में तेजी से उछाल आया है।
विक्रेताओं और सेवा प्रदाताओं से लोगो में इतनी अधिक असंतुष्टि थी कि उपभोक्ताओं के पास अपनी आवाज उठाने के सिवा और कोई रास्ता नही बचा था। कई वर्षो के लम्बे संघर्ष के बाद सरकार को इसकी खैर लेने के लिए बाधित होना पड़ा और इसकी परिणति के रूप में 1986 में कंज्यूमर प्रोटेक्शन एक्ट (कोपरा) को लागू किया गया। एक उपभोक्ता को किसी उत्पाद के बारे में सही जानकारी पाने का अधिकार होता है। अब ऐसे कानून है जो किसी उत्पाद के पैक पर अवयवों और सुरक्षा के बारे में जानकारी देना अनिवार्य बनाते है। सही सूचना से उपभोक्ता को किसी भी उत्पाद को खरीदने के लिए उचित निर्णय लेने में मदद मिलती है। किसी भी उत्पाद के पैक पर खुदरा मूल्य लिखना भी अनिवार्य होता है। यदि कूई दुकानदार एमआरपी से अधिक चार्ज करता है तो उपभोक्ता उसकी शिकायत कर सकता है। एक उपभोक्ता को विभिन्न विकल्पों में से चुनने का अधिकार होता है। कोई भी विक्रेता केवल एक ही ब्रांड पेश नही कर सकता है। उसे अपने ग्राहक को कई विकल्प देने होगे। इस अधिकार को मोनोपोली ट्रेंड के खिलाफ बने कानूनों के जरिये लागू किया जाता है।

Q. दुकानदार से उसकी शिकायत करने पर आपको उसका क्या झेलना पडा होगा?

दिए गए गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए तथा पूछे गए प्रश्न के उत्तर के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प का चयन कीजिए।
राजभाषा का अर्थ राजा या राज्य की भाषा है। वह भाषा जिसमें शासक या शासन का काम होता है। राष्ट्रभाषा वह है जिसका व्यवहार राष्ट्र के सामान्य जन करते है। राजभाषा का क्षेत्र सीमित होता है। राष्ट्र भाषा सारे देश की संपर्क भाषा है। राष्ट्रभाषा के साथ जनता का भावात्मक लगाव रहता है क्योंकि उसके साथ जनसाधारण की सांस्कृतिक परम्पराएँ जुड़ी रहती हैं। राजभाषा के प्रति वैसा सम्मान हो तो सकता है, लेकिन नहीं भी हो सकता है, क्योंकि वह अपने देश की भी हो सकती है। किसी गैर देश से आये शासक की भी हो सकती है। लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था में आज हिन्दी राजभाषा के रूप में ही विराजित है। 14 सितंबर, 1949 ई. को भारत के संविधान में हिन्दी को मान्यता प्रदान की गई है। संविधान की अनुच्छेद 120 के अनुसार संसद का कार्य हिन्दी में या अंग्रेजी में किया जाता है। अनुच्छेद 210 के अंतर्गत राज्यों के विधानमंडलों का कार्य अपने-अपने राज्य की राजभाषा या हिन्दी में या अंग्रेजी में किया जा सकता है। 343 के अनुसार संघ की राजभाषा हिन्दी और लिपि देवनागरी होगी। इस भाषा का प्रसार तथा प्रचार के लिए महात्मा गाँधी का योगदान रहा है। अनुच्छेद 344 में राष्ट्रपति को शासकीय कार्य में हिन्दी भाषा का प्रयोग अधिक करने के लिए कहा गया है।

Q. अनुच्छेद 344 में कहा गया : 

फ़ैली खेतों में दूर तलक 
मखमल की कोमल हरियाली,
लिपटी जिससे रवि की किरणें 
चाँदी की सी उजली जाली।
तिनकों के हरे हरे तन पर 
हिल हरित रुधिर है रहा झलक,
श्यामल भू तल पर झुका हुआ 
नभ का चिर निर्मल नील फलक।
रोमांचित - सी लगती वसुधा 
आई जौ गेहूँ में बाली,
अरहर सनई की सोने की 
किंकिणियाँ है शोभाशाली।
उडती भीनी तैलाक्त गंध,
फूली सरसों पीली - पीली,
लो, हरित धरा से झाँक रही 
नीलम की कलि, तीसी नीली।
रंग - रंग के फूलो में रिलमिल 
हंस रही सखियाँ मटर खडी 
मखमली पेटियों सी लटकी 
छीमियाँ, छिपाए बीज लड़ी 
फिरती है रंग रंग की तितली 
रंग - रंग के फूलो पर सुंदर,
फुले फिरते हो फूल स्वयं 
उड़ - उड़ वृन्तो से वृन्तो पर।

Q. जब सूरज की किरणे चमकती है तो किस चीज का भ्रम होता है?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. 
Nature is an infinite source of beauty. Sunrise and sunset, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests and fields provide joy and bliss to the human mind and heart for hours together. Everything in nature is splendid and divine. Every day and every season of the year has a peculiar beauty to unfold. Only one should have eyes to behold it and a heart to feel it like the English poet William Wordsworth who after seeing daffodils said: And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils?
Nature is a great teacher. Early man was thrilled with the beauty and wonders of nature. The Aryans worshipped nature. One can learn lessons in the vast school of nature. Unfortunately, the strife, the stress and the tension of modern life have made people immune to the beauties of nature. Their life is so full of care that they have no time to stand and stare. They cannot enjoy the beauty of lowing rivers, swinging trees, flying birds and majestic mountains and hills. There is, however, a cry to go back to the village from the concrete and artificial jungle of cities. Hence the town planners of today pay special attention to providing enough natural scenic spots in town planning To develop a balanced personality, one needs to have a healthy attitude which can make us appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature. There is another balm to soothe our tired souls and listless minds than the infinite nature all around us. We should enjoy it fully to lead a balanced and harmonious life, full of peace and tranquility.

Q. In the sentence, "Their life is so full of care that they have no time to stand and stare," what is the part of speech of 'care'?

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
The scene presented by a community of bees is the more astonishing, the more we become acquainted with its details. Each hive is a commonwealth, of which the queen is nominally the head, receiving the greatest honour and care from her industrious subjects. With a greater wisdom than can be claimed by men, these creatures allow no disputes about the succession to the throne to induce them to injure each other; but they require the parties themselves individually to settle the quarrel between each other, without prolonged interference with the duties of the hive. Indeed, they may be said with truth to have adopted the advice: Let those who make the quarrels, be the only ones to fight. Only one queen is permitted to hold office in the community at a time; but while her claims are undisputed, she is treated with singular respect and affection. Indeed, her presence, and the prospect of a future generation, appear the chief motives of the insects to exert themselves.

Q. 'To exert themselves' means the bees are

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
Once upon a time, there lived a sparrow in a tree. He was very happy to have a beautiful and comfortable nest of his own in the tree. The sparrow used to fly to far off places to pick at grains from so many fields, full of crops. At the Sun set, he would return to his perch. One day, the sparrow ate his fill, but could not return to his nest because of the heavy rains which continued for the whole night. The sparrow had to spend the whole night in a big banyan tree a little distance away from home.
The next morning, when the rain stopped and the sky became clear, the sparrow returned to his tree. He was astonished to find a rabbit occupying his beautiful and comfortable nest. The sparrow lost his temper and spoke to the rabbit, "It's my home you're sitting in. Please quit this place at once".
"Do not talk like a fool", replied the rabbit. "Trees, rivers and lakes do not belong to anyone. Places like these are yours only so long as you are living in. If someone else occupies it in your absence, it belongs to the new occupant. So, go away and do not disturb me anymore".
But, the sparrow was not satisfied with this illogical reply. He said, "Let's ask a person of wisdom and only then our case will be settled".
At a distance from the tree, there lived a wild cat. The cat, somehow, overheard the discussion that took place between the sparrow and the rabbit.
The cat immediately thought of a plan, took a holy dip in the river, and then sat like a priest and began chanting God's name in a loud tone. When the rabbit and the sparrow heard the cat chanting God's name, they approached him with a hope to get impartial justice and requested him to pass a judgement in the matter.
The cat became very happy to have both of them in front of him. He pretended to listen to their arguments. But, as soon as the right opportunity came, the cat pounced upon both of them and killed and ate them together with great relish. 
(from Panchtantra)

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Some words may be highlighted. Pay attention.
While the apprehension of losing job security is the most natural human tendency, there are some factors like technology that are beyond an individual's control. The sooner the employees embrace the truth, the easier it would be to convert it into an opportunity. This can be done by upgrading employee-skillset with the following skills for the requirement of future roles:
Leadership: The ability to lead the automation change will be a crucial skill in the organization. The leader will be also responsible for identifying the right talent in the machine age and engaging the workforce through human touch points.
Information Technology: Who can handle technology better than the technologists themselves? However, automation will force employees to hone their understanding of big data, machine learning, cloud computing, augmented reality, and mathematical and analytical skills. With the huge amount of data available, they should be able to apply it to present insight.
Management: The future workplaces will be a collaboration of machines/robots and humans. Hence, the managerial skills required to strike a balance between machines and human emotions, and making them work alongside will also come handy.
Soft Skills: Machines are after all machines. They may do work more quickly and efficiently, but they can't bring in 100 percent human touch and feel. There will be areas where people to people interaction, human relationships, and networking will still matter, hence soft skills such as communication, social and behavioural, cognitive and emotional intelligence would be expected from the employees.
It's about time that employees start reskilling/upgrading their skills and search for relevant programmes/courses in their organizations or outside. For example, IT major Capgemini is planning to train each of its one lakh employees in India in digital skills by 2018. Intel has launched 60 courses as a part of its 'AI Developer Education Programme' to train 15,000 Indian engineers, developers, scientists, and students.
It can't be denied that automation will impact the jobs considerably in India. However, developing people-centric skills and upgrading/reskilling for new roles could help employees tide over the automation wave.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours so that it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. The school was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the tiny children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet, and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.

Q. Which of the following statements are true concerning Bobby Martin?
A. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. 
B. Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys.
