English Language
Directions (Q. 1–5): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have
y
been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Teamwork allows employees to take greater responsibility for decision making and also allows team members to
control more of the work process. This can lead to improved morale as employees gain more authority and ownership over
the projects they are working on. The extra responsibility can lead to a more rewarding work environment and lower turnover.
em
Working on a team also gives employees a greater sense of belonging and of recognition which helps them take more pride
in their work, and their company.
Teamwork can help companies to be more flexible. By bringing employees from different parts of a project together
into one team, problems or bottlenecks can sometimes be ironed out more easily. For example, car manufacturers might
sometimes use this method when designing automobiles. Instead of each new car design going through separate areas, such
as design, engineering and parts supply, the car manufacturer will organise one team that includes employees from all those
areas to design each car. As problems arise in one area, the entire team can deal with them and the work can proceed much
faster.

Investors have 6 out of love with emerging markets. Since the start of last year emerging-market stocks have 7 their rich-
world peers. Currencies are falling. Worst-hit is the Russian rouble, which has fallen by 30% against the dollar this year.
The currencies of other 8 emerging markets, such as Brazil, Turkey and South Africa, have also weakened. For such
economies growth is harder to 9 by. The IMF recently cut its forecasts for emerging markets by more than for rich
countries. But India is a 10 exception to the general pessimism. Its stock market has touched new highs. The rupee is
stable. And the IMF 11 up its 2014 growth forecast for India to 5.8%. That figure is still quite low: growth rates of 8-9%
have been more typical. But in comparison with others it is 12 a boom. Why is India doing better than most emerging
markets?
In part optimism about India 13 to its newish government. In May Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
won a 14 victory in elections on a pro-growth platform. Since then the BJP has strengthened its position in some key
states. So far reform has been piecemeal. Procedures for government approvals have been streamlined. The powers of
labour inspectors have been curbed. Civil servants now work harder. That has been enough to sustain hopes of further
and bigger reforms. Yet 15 of the continued enthusiasm about India is down to luck.

Since smoking is often underestimated for younger people, when smokers tend to hide their habits from the older family
members, we focus on individuals who are 30 and above. In this age group, nearly 36 per cent men in the IHDS sample
smoke; 29 per cent smoke daily. Among women, only 2.5 per cent smoke. Although men from all walks of life smoke,
smoking is disproportionately concentrated among Dalit, Adivasi and Muslim men. Among this group, about 45 per
cent men smoke; 37 per cent smoke daily. Lack of education also plays a role. About 46 per cent of illiterate men
smoke, while only 16 per cent of the college graduates smoke. Moreover, smoking is concentrated among the lowest

Death rates are higher for daily smokers than for non-smokers or occasional smokers. About 11.3 per cent of men

Sting operations are a decade-and-a-half old in India. In 2000, sting pioneer Tehelka did one on cricketers
to throw light on how matches were fixed. In 2001, their ‘Operation West End’ was on middlemen in defence deals and bribes
em
taken by political leaders. And in 2007, ‘Operation Duryodhan’ caught 11 MPs taking bribes to put dictated questions in
Parliament. Many more followed. It is said that the expression ‘sting operation’ seemed to have emerged from the name of a
popular 1973 American movie ‘The Sting’, which was based on a complicated plot hatched by two persons to trick a third
person into committing a crime. A sting operation raises certain moral and ethical questions. The victim, who is otherwise
innocent, is lured into committing a crime on the assurance of absolute secrecy and confidentiality of the circumstances,
raising the potential question as to how such a victim can be held responsible for the crime which he would not have
committed but for the enticement.
Though sting operations have been around, it was Aam Aadmi Party and its chief Arvind Kejriwal who sharpened it as
a weapon in the mobile phone-wielding hands of the public to catch the corrupt. AAP and Kejriwal relentlessly exhorted
ad
people to sting officials who demanded illegal gratification. The stings streamed in, catching both the big and the small. The
latest one doing the rounds is the one on Kejriwal himself. A private conversation secretly recorded has become the hot topic
of public debate.

How often have we heard our grandparents reminisce about the good old days when things were so much cheaper?
Everything seems to have been available at a fraction of what it costs today, be it rice, potatoes, mangoes, petrol or utensils.
A kilo of sugar that could have been bought for `2 in the 1970’s currently costs `40, while a dozen bananas that you could
have bought for just `10 about 20 years ago, will now cost you `35.
The quantity of a commodity that a rupee used to buy years ago has contracted. In other words, the rupee has lost its
purchasing power. The reason for this loss is largely macro-economic and linked to aggregate demand and supply dynamics,
government borrowings, exchange rate and interest rates. Typically, the rupee loses its purchasing power when there is a
general increase in the economy’s price level, technically termed as inflation. Inflation is not only a cause of concern for
the RBI and the government, it also severely impacts the value of the investment portfolios and can upset any deferred
ad
purchase plans.
For example, in 2010, painting your house cost `40,000. You deferred the plan for a year and kept the amount in your
savings account. In 2010-11, inflation went up by 9.6% (on an average). So, the expense of the paint job increased to `43,825,
but you only have `41,400 in your bank account. Due to the fall in the value of money, you will now need to cough up an extra
`2,425 for the same work.
Let us look at how you can estimate the purchasing power of money. This concept rests on the theory of discounting,
which is the reverse of the compounding theory. In discounting, the amount receivable at some future date is worked back to
the current time period. The future amount is discounted to the current period using a rate known as the discounted yield.
Ac
Say, someone promises to pay you `1,000 a year from now. The interest rate offered by your bank is 9%. Using the bank’s
interest rate as the discounted yield, you can work out the current or present value of `1,000, which comes out to be `917.43.
If, instead, you receive `1,000 now, you could invest it at 9% and after one year, you will receive `1,090. The concept has
varied applications in investment and financial planning. It is used by banks for determining the home loan EMIs and is also
used by financial planners for estimating the returns from money back insurance policies, mutual fund SIPs and bond yields.
Looking at the value of the rupee, the rate of inflation prevailing in the economy is used as the discounted yield for
determining its purchasing power.

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and
ad
its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. There is great debate among many
people, and sometimes in the news, on whether global warming is real (some call it a hoax). But climate scientists looking
at the data and facts agree the planet is warming. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial
and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that
the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. The increased volumes of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other
human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years.
Ac
Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted
that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global
warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and
severity of storms and other severe weather events.
