Directions (1-5): In the following paragraph, there is a set of four highlighted words against each number indicated in bold in the beginning of the sentences. One of the given set of words may or may not fit into the statement. Choose the word which is not suitable in the context of the paragraph. If all the four words are correct and feasible, choose (e) i.e. “No error” as your answer. 

 

(1) Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s recent comment praising the creativity of Indians was ill-informed at best. (2) since, his criticism about the absence of companies making big advances in technology is indisputably true, sizable companies like Infosys Ltd and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) notwithstanding. (3) Out of the seven Indian companies only made it to 2017’s Fortune 500 list, three are private companies—Reliance Industries, Tata Motors and Rajesh Exports—and none is a tech company.The early stories of many tech companies feature a precocious geek who identifies a need and uses technology to create the revolutionary product.(4) Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Google and Bill Gates at Microsoft come to mind. Elon Musk at Tesla is cast in the same mould. (5) There are also companies like Dell Computers and Apple which don’t invent a new product line, but better served consumers by delivering cheaper or better-designed products.

 

  1. (a) recent

(b) praising

(c) was

(d) at

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. The word ‘praising’ is incorrectly used in the paragraph as later, in the paragraph it has been described that the words of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s were of criticism. Thus, the correct word required here is “doubting” or a word that should stand against Indians. All the other words given in bold are appropriate and fit suitably in each blank. As, the error is in option (b) it becomes the correct answer choice.

 

  1. (a) since

(b) advances

(c) indisputably

(d) notwithstanding

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. The usage of ‘since’ makes the sentence of the paragraph contextually and grammatically incorrect. “since” can be used as an adverb, conjunction and preposition. It means ‘in the intervening period between (the time mentioned) and the time under consideration, typically the present’. Thus, the word ‘since’ fails to make the paragraph coherent. Therefore, the correct word required here is “but” which while acting as a preposition means ‘except; apart from; other than’. All the other words given in bold are relevant and fit aptly in each blank. As the error lies in option (a), it becomes the correct answer choice.

 

  1. (a) only

(b) stories

(c) precocious

(d) revolutionary

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Option (a) is the correct choice as the usage of the word “only” fails to provide meaning to the paragraph. In the latter part of the sentence the companies listed in Fortune 500 have been mentioned. Thus, it confirms the incorrect usage of “only”. “That” is a determiner used for referring to a specific thing previously mentioned, known, or understood.  Therefore, the correct word required here is “that” as the name of the companies have been mentioned later. The other given words in bold are precise and make the paragraph coherent.

 

  1. (a) and

(b) come

(c) cast

(d) mould

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. All the given words in bold are grammatically and contextually correct and provide an absolute sense to the theme of the paragraph. Thus, the given words don’t require any replacement making option (e) the most viable choice.

 

  1. (a) companies

(b) don’t

(c) but

(d) delivering

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Option (b) is the correct choice. The sentence of the paragraph contains a grammatical error with the usage of “don’t” as the present tense of to do verb is “do”, however the context of the sentence in the paragraph is of the past, thus “don’t” should be replaced with its past form “didn’t” to make the sentence grammatically feasible. The other bold words are grammatically and contextually correct and don’t require any correction or replacement. Therefore, option (b) becomes the most suitable choice.

 

Directions (6-10): Read the following passage to answer these questions given below it. Certain words phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions:

 

Access to affordable electricity for each and every household is a necessary condition for social and economic development. However, rural electrification received attention in the development agenda mostly in the last one-and-a-half decades. In 2005, the Central government launched the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) which subsumed all other ongoing schemes related to rural electrification. The scheme focused on electrification of villages through implementation of decentralized distributed generation (DDG). RGGVY was later included in the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) (recently renamed the Saubhagya scheme), which additionally focuses on feeder separation, improvement of sub-transmission and distribution network, and metering to reduce losses. All these schemes have delivered results and now only a few villages are left that have yet to achieve the target of 100% electrification. As per the latest government statistics, only 910 villages are yet to be electrified, which account for 5% of India’s un-electrified villages (as on April 2015), excluding some uninhabited villages. However, the performance of rural household electrification is not that encouraging. Around 35 million households—approximately 11% of the total rural households—are yet to be electrified.

 

 

The success of rural electrification should not be measured only on the basis of connections provided, but also on the basis of provision of reliable and quality power supply during peak hours. Both these are still persistent problems faced by a majority of India’s rural households. As per the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) recommended “Energy Plus” approach, supply of electricity only for lighting is a necessary but not sufficient condition for rural livelihood development. This framework emphasizes on energy access in combination with productive use of electricity for income generation and livelihood upliftment. However, to use electricity directly for income-generation activities, ownership of appliances plays an important role, apart from market availability, financial and technical assistance. Appliance ownership, in turn, depends on the household’s economic status and on the quality and availability of power supply. This makes the problem more challenging. Further, lack of access to energy at home and for income-generating activities is associated with higher levels of poverty, low productivity, heavy workload, women’s safety issues, missed educational opportunities and high exposure to health risks.

 

The cost of power supply to rural areas is also significantly high. As a majority of the rural households cannot afford high cost supply, utilities are reluctant to supply the required quality and quantity of electricity in these areas. This is apart from the issue of capacity constraint in terms of power generation/purchase. However, implementing some appropriate measures such as smart meters, infrastructure development, franchisee arrangements with local self-help-groups (for more effective billing, monitoring and collection) may improve the situation to some extent. The recent Saubhagya scheme addresses some of these issues. It aims to improve environment, public health, education and connectivity with the help of last-mile power connections across India along with providing electricity connections to over 40 million families in rural and urban areas by December. Households out of reach of the national electricity grid are proposed to be provided with solar power packs along with battery banks with the Rural Electrification Corporation as the nodal agency.
