SBI PO (Main) Exam Paper - 2017 "English Language"

SBI PO (Main) Exam Paper - 2017 "English Language"

Direction (41-45): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
At first sight, it looks as though Panchayati raj, the lower layer of federalism in our polity, is as firmly entrenched in our system as is the older and higher layer comprising the Union Government and the States. Like the democratic institutions at the higher level, those at the panchayat level, the Panchayati raj institutions (PRIs), are written into andprotected by the Constitution. All the essential features, which distinguish a unitary system  from a federal one, are as much enshrined at the lower as at the upper level of our federal system. But look closely and you will discover a fatal flaw. The letter of the Constitution as well as the spirit of the present polity have exposed the intra-State level of our federal system to a dilemma of which the inter-State and Union-State layers are free. The flaw has many causes. But all of them are rooted in an historical anomaly, that while the dynamics of federalism and democracy have given added strength to the rights given to the States in the Constitution, they have worked against the rights of panchayats.
At both levels of our federal system there is the same tussle between those who have certain rights and those who try to encroach upon them if they believe they can. Thus, the Union Government was able to encroach upon certain rights given to the States by the Constitution. It got away with that because the single dominant party system, which characterised Centre-State relations for close upon two decades, gave the party in power at the Union level many extra-constitutional political levers. Second, the Supreme Court had not yet begun to extend the limits of its power. But all that has changed in recent times. The spurt given to a multi-party democracy by the overthrow of the Emergency in 1977 became a long-term trend later on because of the ways in which a vigorously democratic multi-party system works in a political society which is as assertively pluralistic as Indian society is. It gives political clout to all the various segments which constitute that society. Secondly, because of the linguistic reorganisation of States in the 1950s, many of the most assertive segments have found their most assertive expression as States. Thirdly, with single-party dominance becoming a thing of the past at the Union level, governments can be formed at that level only by multi-party coalitions in which State-level parties are major players. This has made it impossible for the Union Government to do much about anything unless it also carries a sufficient number of State-level parties with it. Indian federalism is now more real than it used to be, but an unfortunate side-effect is that India's Panchayati raj system, inaugurated with such fanfare in the early 1980s, has become less real. By the time the PRIs came on the scene, most of the political space in our federal system had been occupied by the Centre in the first 30 years of Independence, and most of what was still left after that was occupied by the States in the next 20. PRIs might have hoped to wrest some space from their immediate neighbour, the States, just as the States had wrested some from the Centre. But having at last managed to checkmate the Centre's encroachments on their rights, the States were not about to allow the PRIs to do some encroaching of their own.
By the 1980s and early 1990s, the only national party left, the Congress, had gone deeper into a siege mentality. Finding itself surrounded by State-level parties, it had built walls against them instead of winning them over. Next, the States retaliated by blocking Congress proposals for Panchayati raj in Parliament, suspecting that the Centre would try to use panchayats to bypass State Governments. The suspicion fed on the fact that the powers proposed by the Congress for panchayats were very similar to many of the more lucrative powers of State Governments. State-level leaders also feared, perhaps, that if panchayat-level leaders captured some of the larger PRIs, such as district-level panchayats, they would exert pressure on State-level leaders through intra-State multi- party federalism.

It soon became obvious to Congress leaders that there was no way the Panchayati raj amendments they wanted to write into the Constitution would pass muster unless State- level parties were given their pound of flesh. The amendments were allowed only after it was agreed that the powers of panchayats could be listed in the Constitution. Illustratively, they would be defined and endowed on PRIs by the State Legislature acting at its discretion.
This left the door wide open for the States to exert the power of the new political fact that while the Union and State Governments could afford to ignore panchayats as long as the MLAs were happy, the Union Government had to be sensitive to the demands of State-level parties. This has given State-level actors strong beachheads on the shores of both inter-State and intra-State federalism. By using various administrative devices and non- elected parallel structures, State Governments have subordinated their PRIs to the State administration and given the upper hand to State Government officials againstthe elected heads of PRIs. Panchayats have become local agencies for implementing schemes drawn up in distant State capitals. And their own volition has been further circumscribed by a plethora of “Centrally- sponsored schemes”. These are drawn up by even more distant Central authorities but at the same time tie up local staff and resources on pain of the schemes being switched off in the absence of matching local contribution. The "foreign aid" syndrome can be clearly seen at work behind this kind of "grass roots development".
41. The central theme of the passage can be best summarized as

A. Our grassroots development at the panchayat level is now driven by the "foreign aid" syndrome.

B. Panchayati raj is firmly entrenched at the lower level of our federal system of governance.

C. A truly federal polity has not developed since PRIs have not been allowed the necessary political space.

D. The Union government and State-level parties are engaged in a struggle for the protection of their respective rights.

E. None of these

42. The sentence in the last paragraph, “And their own volition has been further circumscribed...”, refers to:

A. The weakening of the local institutions' ability to plan according to their needs.

B. The increasing demands made on elected local leaders to match central grants with local contributions.

C. The empowering of the panchayat system as implementers of schemes from State capitals.

D. The process by which the prescribed Central schemes are reformulated by local elected leaders.

E. None of these

43. What is the "dilemma" at the intra-State level mentioned in the first paragraph of the passage?

A. Should the state governments wrest more space from the Union, before considering the Panchayati system?

B. Should rights similar to those that the States managed to get be extended to panchayats as well?

C. Should the single party system which has withered away be brought back at the level of the States?

D. Should the States get "their pound of flesh" before allowing the Union government to pass any more laws?

E. None of these

44. Which of the following most closely describes the 'fatal flaw' that the passage refers to?

A. The ways in which the democratic multi- party system works in an assertively pluralistic society like India's are flawed.

B. The mechanisms that our federal system uses at the Union government level to deal with States are imperfect.

C. The instruments that have ensured federalism at one level, have been used to achieve the opposite at another.

D. The Indian Constitution and the spirit of the Indian polity are fatally flawed.

E. None of these

45. Which of the following best captures the current state of Indian federalism as described in the passage?

A. The Supreme Court has not begun to extend the limits of its power.

B. The multi-party system has replaced the single party system.

C. The Union, state and Panchayati raj levels have become real.

D. There is real distribution of power between the Union and State level parties.

E. None of these

Direction (46-50): Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The world is leaning on its biggest economy to sustain the global recovery, according to the International Monetary Fund. The fund left its forecast for global growth unchanged in the latest quarterly update to its World Economic Outlook, released Monday in Kuala Lumpur. The world economy will expand 3.4 percent this year, up from 3.2 percent in 2016, and by 3.6 percent next year, the IMF said. The forecasts for this year and next are unchanged from the fund’s projections in April. Beneath the headline figures, though, the drivers of the recovery are shifting, with the world relying less than expected on the US and the UK and more on China, Japan, the euro zone and Canada, according to the Washington-based IMF.

The dollar fell to its lowest in 14 months last week as investors discounted the ability of President Donald Trump’s administration to deliver on its economic agenda after efforts by the Republican Senate to overhaul healthcare collapsed. The IMF estimated US growth at 2.1 percent this year and again in 2018, consistent with what the fund said June 27 in its annual assessment of the US 2.3 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, in 2017 and 2018. The economy expanded by 1.6 percent in 2016. “US growth projections are lower than in April, primarily reflecting the assumption that fiscal policy will be less expansionary going forward than previously anticipated,” the IMF said in the latest report. In June, the IMF said it had dropped assumptions of a boost to growth from Trump’s plans to cut taxes and increase infrastructure spending. Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney, wrote in July that the administration’s goal is “sustained 3 percent economic growth,” and he named the program “MAGAnomies” after Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again”.

Meanwhile, as the UK works through its Brexit negotiations, the IMF also chopped its forecast for UK growth this year by 0.3 percentage point to 1.7 percent on weaker- than-expected activity in the first quarter. “This forecast underscores exactly why our plans to increase productivity and ensure we get the very best deal with the EU, are vitally important,” the UK Treasury said in an emailed statement. “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.”

Other countries are picking up the slack. The IMF’s projection for growth in China is 6.7 percent for 2017 – the same as its estimate made June 14 in an annual staff report, and up 0.1 point from April’s world economic outlook. For 2018 the fund sees Chinese growth at 6.4 percent, an increase of 0.2 points from three months ago. In the report, the IMF looked for average annual growth of 6.4 percent in China during 2018 through 2020. “Rich market valuations and very low volatility in an environment of high policy uncertainty raise the likelihood of a market correction, which could dampen growth and confidence, said the fund, which also cited China’s credit growth and protectionist policies as threats.

While risks to the global outlook are “broadly balanced” in the near term, medium term risks are titled to the downside, the IMF said. IMF urged advanced countries with weak demand and low inflation to continue supporting growth through monetary and fiscal policy while cautioning central banks against raising borrowing costs too quickly. The fund said widespread protectionism or a “race to the bottom” on financial and regulatory oversight would leave all countries worse off.

46. Which of the following statements can definitely be concluded from the given passage?

(i) IMF does not perceive any considerable long term risk to global market in the short term
(ii) IMF views China’s credit and growth policy as a risk to global outlook
(iii) The US can perform well in global outlook by abandoning its protectionist policies

A. Both (i) and (ii)

B. Both (i) and (iii)

C. Only (i)

D. Only (ii)

E. Only (iii)

47. Which of the following is TRUE in the context of IMF’s growth forecast of China?
(i) An annual average growth of 6.4 percent during 2018 through 2020
(ii) No change in its forecast for 2017 from its Annual Staff report of June 14th
(iii) The forecast for 2018 has grown a meager 0.2 percent from previous quarter

A. Only (ii) and (iii)

B. Only (i) and (ii)

C. Only (i) and (iii)

D. None of these

E. All of the above

48. IMF has cut growth forecast of UK by 0.3 percent. What does it imply for the UK?

A. It should increase infrastructure spending and cut taxes

B. It made a mistake to withdraw itself from Europe

C. It should work on its fundamental for faster economic recovery

D. It should ensure best deal out of Brexit negotiations

E. None of these

49. According to the IMF, the advanced countries with weak demand and low inflation should-
(i) discard their protectionist policies
(ii) support growth through monetary and fiscal policy
(iii) keep a check on rapid increase in rate of interest by central banks

A. Both (i) and (ii)

B. Both (ii) and (iii)

C. Both (i) and (iii)

D. Only (i)

E. Only (ii)

50. Which of the following factors can be attributed to the fall of dollar to its lowest in the 14 weeks period?

A. The US’ diminishing role in global recovery

B. The emergence of Japan, China and Euro Zone as the driver of global recovery

C. The protectionist policies of Trump

D. The inability of Trump to keep his economic promises

E. Less expansionary fiscal policy of the US than expected

Direction (13 – 19) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these.

There was something pathetic about a minister’s wishful thinking as he addressed the media and talked about his vision of 5G mobile generation for country X. He said his vision of 5G for the country was not just a rollout of services, but the creation of intellectual property (IP) in the country and patents in 5G technology.

This may be possible in a couple of decades, but right now we might as well be crying for the moon. While companies around the world, notably the Chinese, have secured thousands of patents in this revolutionary technology that will provide the platform for inventing a host of new products, technologies and services, the companies in country X are yet to start field trials of 5G spectrum for which permission was granted just recently. Equipment for these trials, needless to say, will be provided by foreign vendors. Most people assume that 5G will provide faster speeds than 4G, which bypasses the hinterland and works only patchily in the urban area, but that would be a gross simplification.

A global 5G network will unify mobile communication and connect people and devices to everything through the Internet of Things. Given that 3G and 4G patent holders have controlled the use of mobile technologies in the Smartphone industry, those who own the intellectual property (IP), primarily the standard essential patents, will become the market leaders in a technology that will reshape the future.

Country X has sent missions to the moon but in the area where technological prowess matters most, the country is lost in a black hole. Not a single telecom firm of the country is in the list of 303 deployment of 5G technology worldwide. This industry list has 20 operators in 294 locations. Worse, although the domestic firms are expected to start their three-month-long trial shortly, it is worth remembering that the industry is in dire straits with huge debts and has indicated that it would be in no position to bid for 5G spectrum.

Nor does country X have the kind of resources that China is investing in 5G apart from the sharp research effort on it. No wonder Chinese firms command the lion’s share of patents among the clutch of global firms that own IP in 5G. Its star performer Huawei __________ to surge ahead with revenues soaring by 23 percent.

Country X has to decide if Huawei is a security threat or not. Can country X ever catch up? Field trials are just the starting point; it merely allows operators and equipment makers to prove that the network they have designed in a laboratory actually works in practice. Then there is the long haul to a commercial rollout.

As country X obsesses about its technological expertise in a mythical past, the future is looking decidedly dim. Source: https://www.downtoearth.org.in

Q13. Which of the following carries a similar meaning to DIRE STRAITS?

a. Lack of employees
b. Investing Elsewhere
c. Financially Stable
d. Facing a paucity of researchers
e. A difficult situation

Q14. Which of the following is true with reference to the passage?

a. 5G connectivity will improve connectivity only in rural areas.
b. Country X lags behind other countries in every field of science and technology.
c. None of the given options.
d. Many companies of country X feature in the list of companies holding 5G patents.
e. The government of country X has hugely invested in 5G technology, which has paid huge dividends.

Q15. What does the author intend to convey from the following segment of the passage? “…but that would be a gross simplification…”

a. 5G technology is a lot more than just improved speed and connectivity.
b. Telecom companies worldwide will incur losses once 5G technology is commercialized.
c. There is not much difference between 4G and 5G technology.
d. Connectivity will be the only issue with 5G technology.
e. 5G technology will provide only internet at a high speed.

1-10. Read the following passage to answer the given question based on it. Some words/phrases are printed to bold to help you locate them white answering some of the questions.

A Russian Proverb advises us not to buy a house, but the neighbourhood. While till some years ago it was impossible to dictate who lived with you in the same quarters, today when you think of buying a home, you could actually create you won dream neighbourhood-thanks to the internet and the group buying model.

The group buying model has been applied in different industries, from cars to baby merchandise to pet care product. Now, the trend is catching on in the real estate sector, with many sites as well as broking firms offering group deals on real estate projects in India. The way it works is simple. Take xxx.com for example. This is an online and offline integrated platform which showcases property. It uses social medial networks to let buyers known about possible good deals, and leaving it to them to do some viral marketing. Once a large group of buyers is thus formed, xxx.com introduces it to the developer and helps negotiate a suitable discount. Since, the developer doesn’t have to pay for the marketing. It is willing enough to pay these companies a transaction fee which is a percentage of the total value of the deal. For the buyers, if offers the best rates at no fee, thus marketing it win-win proposition for all involved. The developers also benefit by getting substantial cash flow, given them a good amount of working capital. “In today’s real estate scenario, bulk buying could be the answer to the market slump and the long awaited cash flow,” says the Founder of xxx.com.

Sometimes, the discount size is not to be sneered at. Discounts on group buying vary from 5-30 per cent, the average divergence from market rate being 25-30 per cent. Customer ‘buy-in’ is the model. But is it a temporary fad? In a way, the online group buying set-up is  similar to the model developers share with speculators,who buy in bulk even before the project gets kick-started and het discounts of 30-40 per cent. The pay 50 per cent of the property value upfront. Group buying companies prove more beneficial for developers as they get away providing  lesser discounts than to speculators. Some sound a note of caution on the trend. Present conditions are conducive for this business model as group buying works well in a situation where stocks are moving slowly, markets are jittery and there is ample supply. It may not work in a seller’s market.

Another caution is — Very often the builders do not offer the best inventory to the group in terms of location and utility. The buyers have to use their astute judgement to avoid such traps.
