Directions for the following 5 (Five) items:Read the following
two passages and answerthe items that follow each passage. Your
an-swers to these items should be based on thepassages only.
PASSAGE-1Due to environment degradation, climaticconditions
around the earths forests includ-ing the Amazon rainforest have
started show-
ing changes. Rainforest gets its name from themassive Amazon
River that runs through it.The forest of Amazon, known as Amazonia,
iscalled the lungs of the earth as it produces20% of the total
oxygen in the world. It is thelargest ecosystem on the earth.Since
most of the Amazon rainforest is inac-cessible, a lot of the
available information wehave of the great forest is merely
speculative.Scientists believe that about half the animalspecies
and plant varieties in the world arenative to this forest. The
irony lies in the factthat the soil on which some of the oldest
andrarest plants are growing is of very poor qual-ity and only the
top 2 inches seem to have thenecessary nutrients. But herein is the
beautyof coexistence one sees in the Amazon. Themassive trees in
the forest are dependent onthe dead tree and animal remains to pack
thesoil with nutrients. This makes it one of thetightest
ecosystems. But if any of the forestperishes, it might spell doom
for the entireecosystem. A variety of factors affect the cli-mate
one of the main factors is the way theforest is shaped. A large
part of the forest isshaped like a shallow dish. The shape is
likethis because a large number of tributaries tothe main river
(estimated to be 1100) drainthe forest into such depression.
Another fac-tor is the amount of water in the forest.The river
along with its 1100 tributariesmakes a massive lot of water. Other
factors toconsider include its proximity to the equatorand the vast
canopy of trees covering the en-tire forest.The climate is like
that of any other typicaltropical rainforest. It is hot and humid.
Thetemperature is 79 F for the entire year whichgets compounded due
to the heavy humidity.There are not many seasonal changes in
theclimate and the temperature too remains thesame for pretty much
of the year. In fact, thedifference between the day and night
tempera-tures is greater than the difference betweenany two
seasons. The weather remains thesame all year long.Amazon is
supposed to represent half therainforests in the world today, so
needless tosay its destruction will cause a great loss. Andnot only
will a loss of flora, but of the numer-ous fauna and indigenous
people native toAmazonia for so many years will also be gone.Hence
all the nations which benefit from theAmazon forest should take the
responsibility

PASSAGE-2The universe of ours is full of mysteries andin this
mystery the rotation of earth alongwith its revolution around the
sun is no morea mystery. But along with the rotation andrevolution
of the earth, the same activity ofother planets and satellites is
still a matterof great research and adventure. Among thenatural
satellites, the study of moon is alwaysa subject of great interest.
The moon orbits(travels in a circle around) the earth and themoon
called gravity. Because of gravity, largerobjects naturally pull
smaller ones towardthemselves. Since the earth is larger thanthe
moon, the earth pulls the moon. At thesame time, the earth is being
pulled by thesun, because the sun is larger than the earth.The
balance between these two pulls is whatkeeps the moon in orbit
around the earth.Although you hear people all the time sayingthe
moon was shining, the moon does notactually have any light of its
own. What weseen as its light is really the suns light re-flecting
off of the moons surface. As the moonorbits the earth and the earth
orbits the sun,we see different amounts of lights reflectingon the
moon depending on its position. We callthe changes in the moons
appearance lunarphases. From one new moon to the next newmoon is
one complete lunar cycle.It takes the moon between 27 and 28 days
tocompletely the orbit around the earth. Themoons orbit is measured
from one new moonto the next new moon, starting in the westand
moving counter-clockwise toward theeast. To complete one full
orbit, the moon hasto travel about 1,423,000 miles. Believe it
ornot, the moon travels at an average speed of2,288 miles per hour!
The force of gravityhelps keep us grounded as the moon
rotatesaround us, and we spin and rotate around thesun.10. Which
two spheres are being pulled by
the force of gravity?(a) The earth and the sun

PASSAGE-3Why is it that in every other sector India is inpar
with global standards but not in sports?The answer is both simple
and complex. It isonly after the power hungry individuals usetheir
might to grab the hot seat that they be-come aware of the enormity
of the positionand demands come aware of the enormity ofthe
position and demands associated with it.Though it presents them
with an opportunityto do same credible work and earn some
muchneeded goodwill points yet very soon the real-ization sets in
that like any other product orservice administrating and marketing
sportsis not a lets-catch-up-over-coffee session buta task
requiring full time commitment forwhich they are clearly short on
either time orskills or both. They also realize that
handlingplayers is a far more challenging man-man-agement exercise
than the truckload of sup-porters who are ferried into big cities
fromsmall towns for innumerable rallies at the costof a days meal
and some country liquor. Theego and the greed of these honorary
membersdisallows them to own up to their incapaci-
ties and that is precisely the point where thecomplications
commence and then tricklesdown as a byproduct to the field of play
in vari-ous shapes and sizes.To get rid of these pseudo mentality
adminis-trators is impossible for that is one of the in-tricacies
of Indian market dynamics that canbe a good dissertation topic but
what is pos-sible on their part is to separate politics
fromoperations. By recruiting professionals underthem who see sport
as a product and not as apower flaunting stage and work behind
thescenes, the administrators can add a stand-ing to their vision
which more often than notcomes under the firing line every time a
teamfails and also add some value to the nation.It will enable
Indian sports to get rid of themaladies and see a new Sun rise but
if themaladies are got rid off will there be any scopefor the power
game and its ancillary benefits?The irony will never cease and the
youngsports marketing professionals can only livein hope that in
the future when this currentbatch of so called caretakers of Indian
sportsget wiped off due to still-to-be-forecasted rea-sons then
sports can finally prosper just likethe way the current generation
has seen iton the television from the clubs of Europe
andAmerica.24. The primary purpose of the passage is to
highlight(i) Enormity of the position of power hun-
gry individuals and the demands as-sociated with sports.

PASSAGE-4I am normally said to be free to the degree towhich no
human being interferes with myactivity. Political liberty in this
sense issimply the area within which a man can actunobstructed by
others. If I am prevented byother persons from doing what I
couldotherwise do, I am to that degree unfree; andif this area is
contracted by other men beyonda certain minimum, can be described
by othermen beyond, a certain minimum, can bedescribed as being
coerced, or, it may be,enslaved. Coercion is not, however, a
termthat covers every form of inability. If I say thatI am unable
to jump more than 10 feet in theair, or cannot read because I am
blind, orcannot understand the darker pages of Hegel,it would be
eccentric to say that I am to thatdegree enslaved or coerced.
Coercion impliesthe deliberate interference of other human
beings within the area in which I couldotherwise act. You lack
political liberty orfreedom only if you are prevented fromobtaining
a goal by human beings. Mereincapacity to attain a goal is not lack
ofpolitical freedom. This is brought out by theuse of such modern
expressions as economicfreedom and its counterpart,

PASSAGE-5The ultimate aim of criminal law is protec-tion of
right to personal liberty against inva-sion by others protection of
the weak againstthe strong law abiding against lawless, peace-ful

crimes, and crimes against humanity (in con-nection with
aggression or war crimes). TheNuremberg Tribunal sentenced 12
defendantsto death and five defendants to long sentencesof
imprisonment. The Tokyo Tribunal sen-tenced. For some, the purpose
of these trialswas to demonstrate that the allies were bet-ter than
the fascists and to serve an educa-tional purpose. However, the
trials can alsobe seen in other ways. From one perspective,they
represented victors justice: war crimeswhich may have been
committed by the al-lies were beyond the jurisdiction of the
tribu-nals, and the charges of crimes against peaceand crimes
against humanity seemed to reston rather uncertain legal ground.

individual.The defendants were seen as having violatedthe

principles of justiceapplied by military courts.65. What according
