2. The postal system is not well-managed these days. The cost of first-class letter delivery has increased
five times in past two decades. Moreover there has been a good deal of decrease in the speed and reliability
of the service. It seems that with the emergence of newer communication options, the end of the postal
system is near.
Which of the following statements strengthen the above argument ?
(A) The volume of mail handled by the postal service has increased dramatically over the last thirty years,
increasing the popularity as well as the work load for the system.
(B) These days postal services have separate departments and each department is allocated with specific
work.
(C) The minimum time that letters took earlier to be delivered is the same as the minimum delivery time
today. Thus, it can be said that the postal services have improved manifold despite the huge volume these
days.
(D) The other services provided today like tracking and deciding the delivery time are an add-on and
compensate for the extra payment made and hence there are lesser chances for the services to shut down.
(E) Since more and more people are getting access to the internet, they prefer e-mails more than other
communicating forms.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question: Certain words have been given in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of the questions :
The modern era of recycling began in the meandering wake of the Mobro 4000. This infamous garbage
barge spent much of 1987 traveling up and down the eastern seaboard looking for a place to dump its 3000-
ton load of New York trash. It was refused at every port. By the time the spurned vessel returned to Long
Island, still ferrying its fetid cargo, it had become the poster child for what was trumpeted as a national crisis:
dwindling landfill space. Faced with the scale of their own refuse. Americans took action. Nascent recycling
programmes blossomed into major operations. Municipalities invested in trucks for curbside pickups and in
facilities to handle mountains of castoff material. Kindergartners were taught the virtues of separating clear
glass from green. Almost overnight, it seemed, recycling was embraced by the public as a kind of all-
purpose absolution for our environmental sins.
Yet doubts remained. Some critics wondered if, far from being an environmental panacea, recycling is
actually a giant placebo that makes us feel virtuous but wastes both money and resources. Take the much-
maligned plastic water bottle. It is almost always made from petroleum, a resource that certainly seems
worth conserving and if you chuck it in the trash, the container will live on in a landfill for centuries. But how
much diesel fuel does the truck that collects these bottles burn ? How much energy does the recycling plant
consume; what fumes does it emit into the atmosphere ? And what does it all cost, anyway ?
The economic case for recycling certainly got off on the wrong foot The sudden rise of curbside
recycling in the late 1980s created a new source of “raw” materials that the country wasn’t yet equipped to
exploit. Prices reflected that. Rumours spread that cities were paying exorbitant costs to get rid of
recyclables-or were simply dumping them in landfills. When demand finally did pick up, it reached an
unsustainable high : In the Pacific Northwest, for example, the price of a ton of mixed recyclables spiked
from $33 in 1994 to $170 in 1995 and then plummeted back to $40 in 1996. This volatility in the recycling
market discouraged further investment and provided more ammunition for skeptics.
In an influential 1996 article entitled “Recycling is Garbage.” John Tierney summed up the skepticism by
asserting that there was no landfill shortage and that the depletion of natural resources wasn’t a concern:
“The [1970s] oil scare was temporary, just like all previous scares about resource shortages.” he wrote. In
fact, the whole concept of recycling was fraught with trade-offs, he argued: “Saving a tree is a mixed
blessing. When there is less demand for virgin wood pulp, timber companies are likely to sell some of their
tree farms-maybe to condominium developers.”
Over the following decade, the price of recyclables inched upward, but the fear that recycling might be an
expensive boondoggle remained unchanged In 2004 magicians-turned-debunkers Penn and Teller filmed an
episode of their television show that echoed Tierney’s criticisms from eight years earlier. “The recycling
industry creates pollution, has to be subsidised by the government because it is cost-ineffective and is
completely unnecessary.” they declared. Meanwhile, recycling advocates were claiming exactly the
opposite.
Current conditions are very different from those in 1996 or even 2004. The price of curbside raw materials
has skyrocketed in the past few years and concerns about energy security and global warming now weigh
more heavily in the debate. Still, the same two basic questions about recycling persist is it good for the
environment ? And does it make economic sense ?

116. What does the author refer to through the phrase ‘got off on the wrong foot’ as used for recycling in the

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question: Certain words have been given in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of the questions :
The modern era of recycling began in the meandering wake of the Mobro 4000. This infamous garbage
barge spent much of 1987 traveling up and down the eastern seaboard looking for a place to dump its 3000-
ton load of New York trash. It was refused at every port. By the time the spurned vessel returned to Long
Island, still ferrying its fetid cargo, it had become the poster child for what was trumpeted as a national crisis:
dwindling landfill space. Faced with the scale of their own refuse. Americans took action. Nascent recycling
programmes blossomed into major operations. Municipalities invested in trucks for curbside pickups and in
facilities to handle mountains of castoff material. Kindergartners were taught the virtues of separating clear
glass from green. Almost overnight, it seemed, recycling was embraced by the public as a kind of all-
purpose absolution for our environmental sins.
Yet doubts remained. Some critics wondered if, far from being an environmental panacea, recycling is
actually a giant placebo that makes us feel virtuous but wastes both money and resources. Take the much-
maligned plastic water bottle. It is almost always made from petroleum, a resource that certainly seems
worth conserving and if you chuck it in the trash, the container will live on in a landfill for centuries. But how
much diesel fuel does the truck that collects these bottles burn ? How much energy does the recycling plant
consume; what fumes does it emit into the atmosphere ? And what does it all cost, anyway ?
The economic case for recycling certainly got off on the wrong foot The sudden rise of curbside
recycling in the late 1980s created a new source of “raw” materials that the country wasn’t yet equipped to
exploit. Prices reflected that. Rumours spread that cities were paying exorbitant costs to get rid of
recyclables-or were simply dumping them in landfills. When demand finally did pick up, it reached an
unsustainable high : In the Pacific Northwest, for example, the price of a ton of mixed recyclables spiked
from $33 in 1994 to $170 in 1995 and then plummeted back to $40 in 1996. This volatility in the recycling
market discouraged further investment and provided more ammunition for skeptics.
In an influential 1996 article entitled “Recycling is Garbage.” John Tierney summed up the skepticism by
asserting that there was no landfill shortage and that the depletion of natural resources wasn’t a concern:
“The [1970s] oil scare was temporary, just like all previous scares about resource shortages.” he wrote. In
fact, the whole concept of recycling was fraught with trade-offs, he argued: “Saving a tree is a mixed
blessing. When there is less demand for virgin wood pulp, timber companies are likely to sell some of their
tree farms-maybe to condominium developers.”
Over the following decade, the price of recyclables inched upward, but the fear that recycling might be an
expensive boondoggle remained unchanged In 2004 magicians-turned-debunkers Penn and Teller filmed an
episode of their television show that echoed Tierney’s criticisms from eight years earlier. “The recycling
industry creates pollution, has to be subsidised by the government because it is cost-ineffective and is
completely unnecessary.” they declared. Meanwhile, recycling advocates were claiming exactly the
opposite.
Current conditions are very different from those in 1996 or even 2004. The price of curbside raw materials
has skyrocketed in the past few years and concerns about energy security and global warming now weigh
more heavily in the debate. Still, the same two basic questions about recycling persist is it good for the
environment ? And does it make economic sense ?

121. Which of the following statements is TRUE in the context of the passage ?

Till today recycling is viewed in the same light as it was during olden days
It is yet to be established whether recycling is an economically viable solution or not
