Model Questions for IBPS PO PRELIM Exam : English Language Set - 46


Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Swami Vivekanand had said, “So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold everyone traitor, who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them”.
This issue has become relevant in the light of the recent fall from grace of the American capitalist image. The Enron, World.com and Xerox exposures have revealed the ugly side of Western style capitalism under which, in the quest for short-term gains, wrong doings are overlooked. As a result people have lost trust in corporate performance and those involved in it. Further, many of those involved, in these scandals were highly educated. In India too, we have had our share of such scams in the stock market and the actors involved in them were educated men. Earning of profits is, no doubt, the main aim of any business. But, if they are earned with principles they enrich people’s lives. As the Jagadguru Sankaracharya says, “All for each and each for all” should be the motto of enlightened men.
JRD Tata used to say “While profit motive, no doubt, provides the main spark for any economic activity any enterprise which is not motivated by consideration of urgent service to the community becomes obsolete soon and cannot fulfil its real role in modern society”.
When we talk of investing in education, a question arises as to what kind of education needs to be given to the youngsters. Our aim is to evolve not only an affluent society, but an egalitarian, just, humane and compassionate society. For that we need people who possess not only high skills but high values as well. So the need of the hour is not only skill-based education but also value-inspired and value-based education. We can find answer for the present sickness in contemporary civilization in the Indian philosophy.

1. According to the author, a true businessman should

(1) earn profit regardless of any consideration
(2) run business profitably and ethically
(3) conduct business with principles despite making losses
(4) should have least concern for enrichment of people’s lives
(5) None of these

2. The author has pointed out that the people involved in scandals and scams were

(1) Social Workers
(2) Political Leaders
(3) Educated people
(4) Corporate Governors
(5) None of these

(1) the western style of capitalism is advantageous
(2) overcoming short-term gains is not desirable
(3) we should build up trust in corporate performance
(4) we should get involved into long-term gains
(5) None of these

4. As per. Swami Vivekanand, which of the following will be the most appropriate definition of “traitor”?

(1) Educated people ignoring the starving and’ illiterate masses
(2) Millions who live in hunger and ignorance
(3) All those educated people who look after the masses
(4) AH social workers who are duty-bound
(5) None of these

5. What are the ultimate expectations from education to be imparted to the youngsters?

(A) To evolve an affluent society
(B) To make people inculcate high values
(C) To help the youth acquire higher skills

(1) (A) and (B) only

Directions (Q66-75): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Certain words/phrases are givne in bold to help you located them, while answering some of the queistons.
In 2012, the Arctic was hot. But while it still matters for environmental reasons, the surge of interest in its economy has ebbed. That surge was driven by three thigns. First, the Arctic contains vast amounts of energy, which could become accessible as the workd warms and the ice retreats in summer. The US Geological survey has said that about a quarter of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas lies in Aractic waters. Second, the melting ice allows cargo ships to sail round Russia’s northern coast for about two months in summer. This cuts the distance for ships travelling from Shanghai to Rotterdam by almost a quarter and the transit time by about two weeks. It was once said the Northem. Sea Route would one day rival the Suez canal as the best way to ship goods from East Asia to Europe. Third, the Arctic seemed a model of international cooperation. The eight countries with territory inside the Arctic circle settled through the Arctic Council, originally a scientific forum which in 2011-13 signed its first treaties, on search and rescue missions and cleaning up oil spills. Nothing exemplified its
popularity better than the rush of tropical Asian centuries to join. China, India and Singapore were granted observer status in 2013. But since mid - 2014, the Arctic’s allure has lessened. Its energy is pricey. Even at $ 100 a barrel, many fields were marginal because the weather is so extreme. A Russian and Norwegian firm together developing one of the largest gasfields ever discovered, motheballed the project in 2012. With oil at $ 50 a barrel, few Arctic fields would be economic. Energy exploration in the Arctic is in fact referred to by some as a licence to lose money. With regard to the Northern Sea Route – In 2013, 71-ships traversed Russia’s Arctic, according to the Northern Sea Route Information Office : a large increase since 2010, when the number was just four. But 16000 ships passed throught he Suez canal between Europe and Asia in 2013, so the northern route is not starting to compete. In 2014 traffic along the Northern Sea Route fell to 53 Ships, only four of which sailed from Asia and docked in Europe (the rest went from one Russian port to another). The route does not yet link Europe and East Aisa. The decline in 2014 was partly caused by the weather : less sea ice melted last summer than in 2013, so the route was more dangerous. But its limitations go beyond that. Cutting a week or two off transit time is not the benefit it may seem if the vessel arrives a day late. In shipping just-in-time arrival matters, not only speed. The new-generation container ships are  too cumbersome to use the Arctic so, as these become more common, the northern route becomes less attractive. The Arctic Council continues to expand: it is setting up a new economic body to boost business. But however much its members cooperate, the council cannot offset hostilities between Russia and the West-hostilities, which affect the Arctic, too. Russia is stepping up its military operations there. This does not mean fighting is about to break out in the Arctic; nor are shipping and energy exploration about to end.

Q66. Which of the following can be said about the Suez canal?

a) Its shipping traffic has dramatically reduced with the opening up of the Northem
Sea Route.
b) Russian shipping traffic through this route is increasing dramatically.
c) It is at present the best way to ship goods between Europe and East Asia.
d) New-generation cargo ships are facing challenges along this route.
e) Word to expand its capacity should be undertaken soon.

Q67. Which of the following is true in the context of the passage?

a) Climate change has resulted in a huge increase in Arctic temperatures.
b) Oil and natural gas reserves in the Arctic have more or less been depleted.
c) Coal and natural gas are the most cost effective energy sources today.
d) Asian countries have been awarded the major mining rights in the Arctic.
e) None of the given statements is true in the context of the passage.

Q68. What does the phrase ‘as a license to lose money’ convey?

a) the penalties for polluting the Arctic are very heavy.
b) Exploring the energy in the Arctic is expensive and may not be profitable for companies.
c) It is very difficult to obtain requisite permissions to explore the Arctic region.
d) Mining for minerals in the Arctic poses risks to the health and lives of explorers.
e) As countries have deliberately lowered the price of oil, Russian oil companies are in financial trouble.

Q69. Choose the word which is most nearly the same in meaning to the word ‘Lies’ given in bold as used in the passage.

b) Dialogue is the only way to achieve resolution of the conflict between Russia and the West.
c) The Arctic region has seen a major economic transformation thanks to its natural heath.
d) The Arctic circle is in the midst of a tremendous environmental and economic crisis.
e) While the potential of the arctic was hyped in the past, today there are reservations about it.

Q71. What does the author suggest regarding the Arctic Council?

A) It should convince its members to reduce the price of oil.
B) It should not be exclusive and should admit other countries as members.
C) It should continue to remain purely a scientific body.

a) Only A
