<div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <h5 id="logical-reasoning">Logical Reasoning</h5> <p>Some readers wondered whether my reading of the crisis in the news media is about journalism or about the news industry. Though the fortunes of the news industry have a bearing on journalism, there is, indeed, a difference between looking at issues that govern journalism and the factors that contribute to the financial stress of the media industry. Over the last few years, I have been discussing the impact of digitalisation on journalism. The pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation of the news media. Therefore, these issues need close scrutiny. One of the defining elements of analog journalism was the way two crucial functions of journalism - bearing witness and making sense complemented each other and helped people make informed choices. When I talk about the strength of analog, I am neither romanticising the past nor am I a Luddite. Most importantly, I do not believe in nostalgia. Many scholars have established “how rose-coloured glasses always leads to an unfair distortion - looking back on the best of the past while comparing it to the worst of the present.” Hence, when I talk about the digital information news environment, I am talking about how there needs to be a conducive atmosphere for credible information to resonate with the people. Literature on misinformation, disinformation and malinformation reveals a new distinction in the minds of the citizens. Editors and journalists have to contend with a new breed of sceptics. These are the people who trust social media forwards more than evidence-based, data-driven journalism. Their confirmation bias flows from encrypted social media platforms that are full of conspiracy theories.</p> <p>[Excerpt from an Article by A.S.

The anti-alcohol campaign had some beneficial public health consequences: Crime fell and life expectancy rose. But the campaign was a political and economic disaster. Gorbachev forgot that the addiction of the state to alcohol revenue was even more incurable than the addiction of some citizens to alcohol itself. The budgetary losses created an economic crisis. Historians suspect that more than the loss of the Soviet Empire, it was this campaign that delegitimised Gorbachev. An old Soviet joke went like this: A disaffected and angry citizen, fed up of standing in lines for vodka, decided to go assassinate Gorbachev. He soon came back and ruefully reported that the lines to assassinate Gorbachev were even longer than the lines for Vodka. As the lockdown eased in India, and social distancing went for a toss at alcohol outlets, we were reminded of how difficult an issue alcohol is to rationally discuss in India. The stampede was caused by the ineptness with which the opening was handled in most cities. Alcohol has also migrated from being a question of personal freedom and choice to an issue in broader cultural wars, an odd site on which we measure progressivism in India. It is also a window on how liberalism has been misunderstood. Liberals should, rightly, be suspicious of prohibition on moral and practical grounds. Government grossly exceeds its legitimate power when it interferes with the rights of individuals to lead their lives as they please, and fashion their selves after their own ideals, interests and preferences. And certainly, moralism or puritanism on alcohol cannot be the basis of state policy. That moralism has no basis, and it violates the dignity and freedom of individuals.</p> <p>[Excerpt from an Opinion by Bhanu Pratap Mehta, The Indian Express, May 7, 2020]</p> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="111"> <li>In the above passage, the author uses a/an to strengthen his argument.</li> </ol> <p>a) Metaphor</p> <p>b) Analogy</p> <p>c) Personification</p> <p>d) None of the above</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-b-1">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION B</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="112"> <li>Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?</li> </ol> <p>a) State must not interfere at all with the individual’s right to drink.</p> <p>b) Liberalism has always been misunderstood.</p> <p>c) It is very difficult to discuss any issue relating to personal freedom of individuals with rationality in India.</p> <p>d) None of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-d">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION D</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="113"> <li>Which of the following statements weakens the argument that Moralism on Alcohol cannot be the basis of State Policy?</li> </ol> <p>a) The State should not interfere with people’s right to drink; but there will be a backlash if drinking takes forms that inflict great social harms. b) Freedom should not be divorced from Moderation.</p> <p>c) The State should not interfere in matters of sexuality or intimacy.

The Class XII CBSE pass result has soared to an all-time high of $88.8 %$. The number of students scoring $95 %$ and above has more than doubled. If only these higher marks were a reflection of students getting more skilled and more competitive. Instead, the odds are they simply mirror an assessment scheme relaxed to compensate students for the many disruptions originating in the pandemic. The goal of reducing student stress levels during this turbulent time is excellent and laudable. But it is a fallacy that high marks can accomplish this by themselves. The real stressor, after all, is shortage of opportunities. When every bout of grade inflation raises cut-offs for higher education even higher, it is no succour. That India’s Gross Enrolment Ratio is only $27 %$ compared to Indonesia’s $36 %$, Thailand’s $49 %$ and the US’s $88 %$ is just one measure of the toll taken by our failure to build adequate colleges and universities. Licence raj continues to suppress autonomy and expansion in this sector. For example, a new national education policy is reportedly mulling at least $20 %$ of students being able to attend private higher educational institutions through freeships and another 30% through scholarships, besides fee caps. On top of the stasis already wreaked by reservations, this would be disastrous. Browbeating the private sector to make up for public sector deficiencies is counterproductive. As the pandemic has underlined the key role of good government services in healthcare, so too is raising the standard of publicly funded schools and universities essential. What the students need is an ecosystem where government institutions deliver quality education and private options are plentiful. It is better prospects alone that will best alleviate students’ stress. Meanwhile, crudely chopping syllabi will only worsen their disorientation and should be reconsidered.</p> <p>[TOI Edit, Times of India Editorials, Dated July 15, 2020].</p> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="116"> <li>What is the ‘cloud behind the silver lining’ in the passage above?</li> </ol> <p>a) The Pandemic which is impacting the current education system.</p> <p>b) That, the Governmental educational institutions are not able to deliver quality education.</p> <p>c) Scoring Higher marks or percentage in school education does not guarantee skilled and competitive candidature of the student.</p> <p>d) License Raj has negatively impacted Higher education.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-c-2">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION C</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="117"> <li>Which of the following statements weakens the argument that chopping the syllabi in the times of Pandemic will only worsen a student’s disorientation and hence should be reconsidered?</li> </ol> <p>a) It does not matter even if syllabi is chopped.

After all, in the age of internet, zoom meetings and webinars can be virtually conducted and physical distancing is possible.</p> <p>A large nature of work in cities is of tertiary nature, a major part of which can be done from home. This can affect the way offices function and reduce the need for all employees to be physically present every day. Information Technology companies are already contemplating a move of making many of its employees work from home and make this a ’new normal’. If more firms follow suit, the need for huge office buildings and central business districts would change. Apartments cannot get bigger at the same rate, and people may not have the space or atmosphere to work from home. This would mean that more people would opt for co-working spaces close to their homes. This could be a game changer, for it would provide the cities to better distribute their activities throughout the spaces and rid themselves of the idea of zoning. Only a handful of professionals are allowed to function from residential zones, including doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. This needs serious rethinking. Many more professions of similar nature that do not disturb surrounding residence and have no requirements of special services should be added to the list. This new work culture would bring associated demand for food joints, cafés, stationary shops, etc.</p> <p>[Excerpt from ‘Down to Earth’ Magazine, Blog authored by Sugeet Grover, August 17, 2020]</p> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="121"> <li>Which of the following is the main idea behind the passage?</li> </ol> <p>a) Work from home is the new normal.</p> <p>b) Work from home will result in shutting down of big buildings.</p> <p>c) Work from home culture will result in systematization of City planning and development.</p> <p>d) More professionals should be included in the ‘work from home’ list.</p> <p>CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION C</p> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="122"> <li>Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?</li> </ol> <p>a) The ‘work from home’ culture is a no-chaos culture.</p> <p>b) There is lack of distribution of activities in the ‘work from home’ scenario.</p> <p>c) The routine culture as opposed to ‘work from home’ does not benefit the society in any way.</p> <p>d) All of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-a">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION A</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="123"> <li>Which of the following can be associated benefits of the new culture ?</li> </ol> <p>a) It will save commute time.</p> <p>b) The city’s land can be used more efficiently</p> <p>c) Better distribution of activities would be associated with safer streets and public spaces as they would not go unused and hence have less likelihood of being used for unlawful activities.</p> <p>d) All of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-d-5">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION D</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="124"> <li>Consider the following statement: “Work from home culture is a sustainable method of business and should be extended to all professions.”</li> </ol> <p>Which of the following weakens the Author’s argument?</p> <p>a) Not every type of profession fits in the ‘work from home’ culture as different professions have different requirements and need different environmental and work space settings.</p> <p>b) ‘Work from home’ impacts a person’s mental health.</p> <p>c) Both a) and b)</p> <p>d) Neither a) nor b)</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-c-3">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION C</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="125"> <li>Which of the following weakens the author’s argument that ‘Work from home’ culture will enable better city planning?</li> </ol> <p>a) Development of Co-working spaces will further create chaos in terms of land planning.</p> <p>b) City planning is not only about reducing spaces.</p> <p>c) Work from home will also reduce the flow of money in the economy.</p> <p>d) All of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-d-6">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION D</h5> <p>Following is an array of questions to test your reasoning ability in different situations.

Schools have been shut to prevent the spread of the virus and this has given way to online classrooms, a very new concept in India even for the most sophisticated schools. It is commendable how easily some educational institutions have moved to virtual classrooms, all thanks to tools such as Zoom, Google Hangouts and Microsoft Teams. But there are some still struggling to get online. The online classes, whatever the enabling technology, is only as good as the teachers and the ability of the students to grasp the new teaching technique. One of the teachers felt students are actually more responsive and active in online classrooms, compared to when they are in physical ones. “This could be because this is a new concept and they are excited to explore it with the teachers. They also don’t get distracted by their classmates, which frequently happens in a regular class.” Teachers do find the absence of a blackboard a disadvantage and network connectivity a constant problem. “We miss the clarity that a blackboard gives us, we are kind of making do with the virtual whiteboard on Zoom.” Shweta Kawatra, a parent who teaches in a New Delhi school, highlights that many students have not been able to take advantage of the virtual platform because they do not have a suitable device at home or lack a good internet connection. “It has its own share of disadvantages too. Too much screen time can be perilous for health. Prolonged online sessions can be overwhelming and may lead to problems related to vision, body posture and sleep disorder,” Kawatra adds.</p> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="131"> <li>What is the Central Idea of the passage above?</li> </ol> <p>a) Institutionalised education was much better than the current online education system.</p> <p>b) Institutionalized education cannot be replaced by any other system of education.</p> <p>c) Virtual Classroom teaching is a sustainable approach to education in modern times.</p> <p>d) None of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-d-7">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION D</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="132"> <li>Which of the following statements cannot be inferred from the passage above?</li> </ol> <p>a) Virtual Classroom teaching is a sustainable approach to education.</p> <p>b) Virtual Classroom teaching causes health problems.</p> <p>c) Institutionalized education system has its advantages.</p> <p>d) All of the above.</p> <h5 id="correct-answer--option-a-1">CORRECT ANSWER : OPTION A</h5> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <ol start="133"> <li>Which of the following is an implicit assumption in the observation that students are more active and responsive in online classrooms as compared to that in physical ones?</li> </ol> </div> <p>======</p> <div style = 'text-align:left; font-size:22px;'> <p>I.
