Part D : English Comprehension
Directions: In Question nos. 151 to 155,you have a
passage with 5 questions following. Read the passage
carefully and choose the best answer to each question out
of the four alternatives and mark it by blackening theappropriate circle in the Answer Sheet.
PASSAGE
The public distribution system, which provides food at low
prices, is a subject of vital concern. There is a growing
realization that though India has enough food to feed its
masses two square meals a day, the monster of starvation
and food insecurity continues to haunt the poor in our
country.
Increasing the purchasing power of the poor through
providing productive employment leading to rising income,
and thus good standard of living is the ultimate objective of
public policy. However, till then, there is a need to provide
assured supply of food through a restructured, more
efficient and decentralized public distribution system (PDS).
Although the PDS is extensive it is one of the largest
such systems in the world- it hasn't reached the rural poor
and the remote places. It remain an urban phenomenon,
with the majority of the rural poor still out of its reach due
to lack of economic and physical access. The poorest in
the cities and the migrants are left out, for they generally
do not possess ration cards. The allocation of PDS supplies
in big cities is larger than in rural areas. In view of such
deficiencies in the system, the PDS urgently needs to be
streamlined. Also, considering the large foodgrain
production combined with food subsidy on one hand and
the continuing slow starvation and dismal poverty of rural
population on the other, there is a strong case for making
PDS target-group oriented. By making PDS target-group
oriented, not only the poorest and the neediest would be
reached without additional cost but we can also reduce
the overall costs incurred.___________________
151. Which of the following is true of public distribution
system?
(A) It has improved its effectiveness over the years.
(B) It is unique in t he world because of its
effectiveness.
(C) It has reached the remotest corner of the
country.
(D) It has remained effective only i n the cit ies.
152. What should be an appropriate step to make the
PDS effective?
(A) To decrease the allotment
(B) To increase the amount of food grains. foodgrain
per ration card.
(C) To make it target-group
(D) To reduce administrative oriented cost.
153. The full form of PDS is -
(A) Private distribution system
(B) Public distribut ion system
(C) Partial distribution system
(D) Party distribution system
154. The public distribution system, which provides foodat _______ is a subject of vital concern.
(A) low prices (B) fair prices
(C) as per capita income (D) high prices
155. What according to the passage, would be the
rationale of making the PDS target-group oriented?
(A) It will motivate the target-group population to
work more.
(B) It will g ive food to the poorest section
without additional cost.
(C) It will abolish the imbalance of urban and rural
sectors.(D) It will remove poverty.

PASSAGE
The desert floras shame us with their cheerful adaptations
to the seasonal limitations. Their whole duty is to flower
and fruit, and they do it hardly, or with tropical luxuriance,
as the rain admits. It is recorded in the report of the Death
Valley expedition that after a year of abundant rains, on
the Colorado desert was found a specimen of Amaranthus
ten feet high. A year later the same species in the same
place matured in the drought at four inches. Seldom does
the desert herb attain the full stature of the type. Extreme
aridity and extreme altitude have the same dwarfing effect,
so that we find in the high Sierras and in Death Valley
related species in miniature that reach a comely growth inmean temperatures. Very fertile are the desert plants in
expedients to prevent evaporation, turning their foliage edge-
wise toward the sun, growing silky hairs, exuding thick
gum. The wind, which has a long sweep, harries and helps
them. It rolls up dunes about the stocky stems,
encompassing and protective, and above the dunes, which
may be, as with the mesquite, three times as high as a
man, the blossoming twigs flourish and bear fruit.
163. The mesquite is a ______.
(A) a desert flora (B) a type of desert animal
(C) a sand dune (D) a tribe of people
164. How does the wind keep the desert floras to grow?
(A) by blowing the clouds away
(B) by rolli ng up pro tective sand dunes.
(C) by blowing the heat away
(D) by blowing gently
165. The desert plants face the danger of _____ from
extreme aridity and extreme altitude.
(A) early death (B) loss of reproduction
(C) painful growth (D) dwarfism
166. What stops the desert floras from performing their
duty well?
(A) the desert sand
(B) the desert animals
(C) the rain
(D) the people who pluck them
167. What lesson do the desert floras have to teach us?
(A) how to grow with grace.
(B) how to grow in dry places.
(C) how to live a long time
(D) how to adapt to limitations
