4. The world production of sugar has been reported to be very scare as compared to the global
sales for four years. The demand for sugar is extremely high but the supply has been low for
quite some time now. This could be because of the awful weather and also because some chief
sugar growers have switched to high-priced jute. The price of sugar has soared in response to
the phenomena of the demand supply disparity. The price of sugar now equals that of jute.

Sugar production is profitable only when the price of sugar is as high as that of jute.
The sugar growers who had shifted to the higher priced jute, will now move back to producing
sugar
Demand for jute was higher than the demand for sugar, which made sugar growers shift
their production
If there continues to be a shortfall in the production of sugar, the price of sugar may even exceed
that of jute

There are ways to spice up one’s work. And I am surely not asking you to be an office gossip-
monger. There are predominantly three kinds of people at a work place. Firstly, the ones who
work for money alone, and wouldn’t devote even an iota of their time beyond 9-5 office timings.
They are usually not happy with what they are doing, unlike the others. Secondly, there are
those, for whom, work is a means of getting appreciation and rewards. They are happy if they
feel their efforts work as an end in itself. They put their heart and soul into their work and never
worry about rewards. A am just asking you to try and transform yourself into one of the latter
two.

The writer is a professional carrier counsellor in the organization.

People belonging to the second and third kinds are having higher job satisfaction.
Rewarding the first and second kind of people at work place encourages them to do better.
The third kind of people at workplace is the best assets for the organization.
People belonging to the second kind have to stretch themselves to get appreciation and rewards

Read the passage and answer the questions given below

Sixty years ago, on the evening of August 14, 1947, a few hours before Britain’s Indian Empire
was formally divided into the nation-states of India and Pakistan, Lord Louis Mountbatten and
his wife, Edwina, sat down in the vice regal mansion in New Delhi to watch the latest Bob Hope
movie, “My Favorite Brunette.” Large parts of the subcontinent were descending into chaos, as
the implications of partitioning the Indian Empire along religious lines became clear to the
millions of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs caught on the wrong side of the border. In the next few
months, some twelve million people would be uprooted and as many as a million murdered. But
on that night in mid-August the bloodbath-and the fuller consequences of hasty imperial retreat-
still lay in the future, and the Mountbatten probably felt they had earned their evening’s
entertainment.

Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India, had arrived in New Delhi in March, 1947, charged with
an almost impossible task. Irrevocably enfeebled by the Second World War, the British belatedly
realized that they had to leave the subcontinent, which had spiraled out of their control through
the nineteen-forties. But plans for brisk disengagement ignored messy realities on the ground.
Mountbatten had a clear remit to transfer power to the Indians within fifteen months. Leaving
India to God, or anarchy, as Mohandas Gandhi, the foremost Indian leader, exhorted, wasn’t a
political option, however tempting. Mountbatten had to work hard to figure out how and to
whom power was to be transferred.

The dominant political party, the Congress Party, took inspiration from Gandhi in claiming to be
a secular organization, representing all four hundred million Indians. But many Muslim
politicians saw it as a party of upper-caste Hindus and demanded a separate homeland for their
hundred million co-religionists, who were intermingled with non-Muslim populations across the
subcontinent’s villages, towns, and cities. Eventually, as in Palestine, the British saw partition
along religious lines as the quickest way to the exit.

But sectarian riots in Punjab and Bengal dimmed hopes for a quick and dignified British
withdrawal, and boded ill for India’s assumption of power. Not surprisingly, there were some
notable absences at the Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi on August 15th. Gandhi,
denouncing freedom from imperial rule as a “wooden loaf,” had remained in Calcutta, trying,
with the force of his moral authority, to stop Hindus and Muslims from killing each other. His
great rival Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who had fought bitterly for a separate homeland for Indian
Muslims, was in Karachi, trying to hold together the precarious nation-state of Pakistan.

Nevertheless, the significance of the occasion was not lost on many. While the Mountbattens
were sitting down to their Bob Hope movie, India’s constituent assembly was convening in New
Delhi. The moment demanded grandiloquence, and Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi’s closest disciple
and soon to be India’s first Prime Minister, provided it. “Long years ago, we made a tryst with
destiny,” he said. ”At the stroke of the midnight hour, while the world sleeps, India will awaken
to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from
the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds
utterance.”

Posterity has enshrined this speech, as Nehru clearly intended. But today his quaint phrase
“tryst with destiny” resonates ominously, so enduring have been the political and psychological
scars of partition. The souls of the two new nation-states immediately found utterance in brutal
72
enmity. In Punjab, armed vigilante groups, organized along religious lines and incited by local
politicians, murdered countless people, abducting and raping thousands of women. Soon, India
and Pakistan were fighting a war-the first of three-over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
Gandhi, reduced to despair by the seemingly endless cycle of retaliatory mass murders and
displacement, was shot dead in January, 1948, by a Hindu extremist who believed that the
father of the Indian nation was too soft on Muslims. Jinnah, racked with tuberculosis and
overwork, died a few months later, his dream of a secular Pakistan apparently buried with him.

In the view of author what is the phrase 'tryst with destiny' symbolize today?

a celebration of Indian independence

An inspirational quote
A reminder of Gandhi's assassination
A symbol of ills of the partition
What does the author imply about the future of Pakistan?

It becomes a secular country

It becomes unsecular
It is unprosperous
It becomes a rogue state

Why was Gandhiji assassinated?

Because he was favouring the muslim

His assassin thought he was partial to the muslim
He got killed in the violence after partition
None of these

The author persists on talking about the ‘bob Hope Movies’ in the article. Why?

Because the movie was a classic of 1947

He thinks it caused the partition of the sub-continent
He uses it to show the apathy of the britishers towards the sub-continent
It was Mountbatten’s favourite movie

Give people power and discretion, and whether they are grand viziers or border guards, some
will use their position to enrich themselves. The problem can be big enough to hold back a
country's development. One study has shown that bribes account for 8% of the total cost of
running a business in Uganda. Another found that corruption boosted the price of hospital
supplies in Buenos Aires by 15%. Paul Wolfowitz, the head of the World Bank, is devoting special
efforts during his presidency there to a drive against corruption.

For most people in the world, though, the worry is not that corruption may slow down their
country's GDP growth. It is that their daily lives are pervaded by endless hassles, big and small.
And for all the evidence that some cultures suffer endemic corruption while others are relatively
clean, attitudes towards corruption, and even the language describing bribery, is remarkably
similar around the world. In a testament to most people's basic decency, bribe-takers and bribe-
payers have developed an elaborate theatre of dissimulation. This is not just to avoid detection.
Even in countries where corruption is so common as to be unremarkable and unprosecutable
and even when the transaction happens far from snooping eyes a bribe is almost always dressed
up as some other kind of exchange. Though most of the world is plagued by corruption, even
serial offenders try to conceal it.

79
 One manifestation of this is linguistic. Surprisingly few people say: ‘You are going to have to
pay me if you want to get that done.’ Instead, they use a wide variety of euphemisms. One type is
quasi-official terminology. The first bribe paid by your correspondent, in Ukraine in 1998, went
to two policemen so they would let him board a train leaving the country. On the train into
Ukraine, the customs officer had absconded with a form that is needed again later to leave the
country. The policemen at the station kindly explained that there was a shtraf, a ‘fine’ that could
be paid instead of producing the document. The policemen let him off with the minimum shtraf
of 50 hryvnia ($25).

A second type of euphemism dresses up a dodgy payment as a friendly favour done by the
bribe-payer. There is plenty of creative scope. Nigerian policemen are known to ask for “a little
something for the weekend”. A North African term is “un petit cadeau”, a little gift. Mexican
traffic police will suggest that you buy them a refresco, a soft drink, as will Angolan and
Mozambican petty officials, who call it a gazoso in Portuguese. A businessman in Iraq told
Reuters that although corruption there is quite overt, officials still insist on being given a “good
coffee”

Double meaning can help soothe the awkwardness of bribe-paying. Baksheesh, originally a
Persian word now found in many countries of the Middle East, can mean “tip”, “alms” and
“bribe”. Swahili-speakers can take advantage of another ambiguous term. In Kenya a machine-
gun-wielding guard suggested to a terrified Canadian aid worker: “Perhaps you would like to
discuss this over tea” The young Canadian was relieved: the difficulty could be resolved with
some chai, which means both “tea” and “bribe”.

Along with the obscurantist language, bribe-taking culture around the world often involves the
avoidance of physically handing the money from one person to another. One obvious reason is to
avoid detection, which is why bribes are known as “envelopes” in countries from China to
Greece. But avoidance of a direct hand-over is common even where there is no chance of
detection. There will always be some officials who will take money right from a bribe-payer's
hands, but most seem to prefer to find some way to hide the money from view. A bribe to a
border guard may be folded into a passport. A sweetener to a traffic cop is often placed in the
ticket-book that is handed to the driver. Parag Khanna, who is writing a book about countries
on the edge of the rich world that are trying to get rich themselves, describes a bribe-taker he
spotted in Georgia who he was sure was a rookie. Why? The scrawny young soldier, forgoing any
subtleties, merely rubbed his fingers together in an age-old gesture.

Rich Westerners may not think of their societies as plagued by corruption. But the definition
of bribery clearly differs from person to person. A New Yorker might pity the third-world
businessman who must pay bribes just to keep his shop open. But the same New Yorker would
not think twice about slipping the maitre d' $50 to sneak into a nice restaurant without a
reservation. Poor people the world over are most infuriated by the casual corruption of the elites
rather than by the underpaid, “tip”-seeking soldier or functionary.

What is the author most likely to agree to?

People generally do not try to hide money taken as bribe.

People hide money taken as bribe primarily to avoid detection
People hide money taken as bribe from view even if detection possibility is low.
None of these

Charlie has a magic mirror. The mirror shows right rotated version of a given word. To generate
different right-rotations of a word. Write the word in a circle in clockwise order, then start
reading from any given character in clockwise order till you have covered all the characters.
For example, in a word ”sample”. if we start with ‘P’, we get the right rotated word as
“plesam”there are six such right rotations of “ sample “ including itself.
