Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
Terrorism is the deliberate use or threat of violence against civilians by a non-state entity (individual or group) in pursuit of a political or religious goal. Terrorism—or, more precisely, Salafi-Takfiri terrorism of the type perpetrated by ISIS—is now perceived by people around the globe as the leading danger to their national security. A Pew study published in August 2017 found shares of national publics ranging from 62 percent in Ghana to 88 percent in France—and including 74 percent of U.S. respondents as well as 77 percent of Germans, 74 percent of Indonesians, and 66 percent of Indians—saying that ISIS is the top security threat facing their country.
These concerns have large implications. Even among the world’s most advanced democracies, fear of terrorism often intertwined with worries about immigration, particularly from Muslim-majority countries—is a driver of populist nationalism, support for illiberal alternatives, and heightened danger that civil liberties and the rule of law will be eroded. If liberal democracies in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia are especially vulnerable to terrorism, moreover, is that not a warning to other countries pondering liberalization that strengthening rights, freedoms, and legal guarantees could be too risky? Will not a more closed society—one that rejects or curtails such liberal-democratic niceties—be better able to defend itself against the terrorist scourge? At the very least, the relationship between regime types and contemporary trends in terrorism ought to be clearly understood in order to promote better risk analysis and counter-terrorism policy both at home and abroad.
According to the passage, what is the driver of popular nationalism?
- Fear of terrorism.
- Threat of immigration from Muslim majority countries.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
The objective of eliminating poverty in all its dimensions such that every citizen has access to a minimum standard of food, education, health, clothing, shelter, transportation and energy has been at the heart of India’s development efforts since Independence. The extremely low level of per-capita income and widespread poverty made it impossible for us to achieve this objective without growing the economy. Tax revenues were so meagre and the economy’s needs so vast that no serious dent into poverty could be made through redistribution alone. While we substantially improved economic performance during the first four decades of independence over that during the preceding fifty years, growth remained below 4%, which was woefully inadequate for a meaningful decline in poverty.
But the signs of change began to emerge during the second half of the 1980s, with 1991 proving to be a turning point. The reforms that followed first under Prime Minister Narasimha Rao and then under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee placed India first on a 6% growth trajectory and then, beginning in 2003-04, on an 8% plus trajectory. Rising wages accompanied faster growth and pulled many out of abject poverty. Growth also yielded handsome gains in tax revenues, which helped expand social spending manifold, reinforcing the direct effect of growth on poverty reduction.
According to the passage, what are the reasons for failure in addressing the issue of poverty?
- Tax revenues were insufficient to spend on poverty elimination programmes.
- Low level of per capita income.
Choose the correct code
Correct
Solution (c)
The extremely low level of per-capita income and widespread poverty made it impossible for us to achieve this objective without growing the economy. Tax revenues were so meagre and the economy’s needs so vast that no serious dent into poverty could be made through redistribution alone.
This section of the first paragraph makes it clear that option c is the correct answer.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
A number when divided by 5, leaves 3 as the remainder. What will be the remainder when the square of this number is divided by 5?
Correct
Solution (b)
Let the number be X
According to the question,
X = (5k+3)
On squaring both sides
X2 = (5k+3)2
= (25k2+30k+9)
= 5(5k2+6k+2) + 4
Therefore, on dividing the square of a number by 5, the remainder is 4
Incorrect
Solution (b)
Let the number be X
According to the question,
X = (5k+3)
On squaring both sides
X2 = (5k+3)2

= 5(5k2+6k+2) + 4
Therefore, on dividing the square of a number by 5, the remainder is 4
