(0) | Politicians must raise above their party affiliations and stand behind the government in moments of crisis. Directions for questions 4 to 6: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow it Many advocates of corporate social responsibility emphasize the social nature of the corporation, which, they contend, exists as the result of a highly implicit and flexible social contract that determines its duties and rights. ‘They portray the corporation as responsible to and subject to the will of society (ie., the people). Both the state ‘and the law are viewed as creatures of sociely. From this perspective, corporations are created by the government, which, in tum, owes its existence to society. Given this, it follows that corporations are actually made by society and are responsible to the public to serve whatever is deemed to be in the public interest or for the common good. (It is interesting to note that when corporate critics refer to the public interest or the common ‘good, they are frequently referring to the good of some individual or group of individuals intent on imposing their ‘own views or goals upon others.) Since the corporation only exists because of social permission, society is able legitimately to demand that a corporation perform certain activities that the owners and managers do not wish to perform. During the twentieth century, society has been reassessing its expectations of corporations and has pressured them to balance profit making with social responsibility. Social crusaders believe that corporations should be socially responsible both out of gratitude for their existence and out of a moral sense of reciprocation for the benefits received from society. In essence, the corporation is viewed more as common property than as private property. Some critics even propose that the corporation be brought under governmental control to ensure the common good. From this erroneous point of view, the corporation is a fictitious person. The state controls its birth and death, and corporate powers are exercised as a matter of concession and privilege rather than of right. The corporation is a purely arifcial creature of the state, strictly accountable for the limited functions itis granted. As a legal entity distinct from its owners, the corporation, through its charter, gains privileges that the government confers. Thus, ‘Trumphant Instute of Managemant Education Pvt Lid. (FAM) HO- 958, 2 Flor, Sddamsety Complex, Secunderabad 300005 Tel: 040-27898195 Ray: 04027847334 email: infoatimeteducationcam website: www timeteducationcom —_ MCIOOISOI/4corporate status is conferred by public act rather than through private agreements, and, as a result, the corporation is vulnerable to state regulation. Concession theory holds that corporations owe their existence and {gain their authority from the government, which, itself, acquires authority from the people. It follows that Corporations are created for the benefit of society and must therefore serve the public interest, Proponents of this perspective tend to suffer from the misconception that a society has a concrete existence apart from the individuals that comprise it. To use an abstract term, such as society, is simply to refer to a collection of individuals with innumerable projects, needs, and wants of their own. There is no such thing as the general will or group welfare apart from the wills and welfare possessed by each individual. A corporation is created by, owned by, and operated by a freely constituted group of individuals. The state merely recognizes and records the formation of corporations it does not bring them into existence. This action by the state in no way binds the corporation to the service of the public interest. A corporation is a community of people voluntarily working together for common andlor compatible goals and having, in varying degrees, shared values and concems. It follows that people tend to join, stay, and succeed with one corporation rather than another because of their agreement with the goals ‘and values of the corporation's stockholders, directors, officers, and employees. Corporations are properly viewed as voluntary associations and as private property. Arising from individual contracts, corporations are not created by the state — the state simply recognizes their incorporation as it does with births, marriages, sales of real estate, and so forth. ‘The state grants a charter as a legal technicality and neither creates nor changes the essence of these voluntary associations whose success depends on the social bonds that unite their members and on the human need for ‘group membership. The state may choose to recognize these units but in so doing it simply acknowledges that hich already exists. Corporations are expressions of individual freedom and need only respect individual natural rights and adhere to government regulations. ‘The unique features of the corporation can be explained in terms of its contractual origin rather than as special privileges. For example, limited liability is not a privilege that is guaranteed to a corporation. A would-be creditor can decline credit to a corporation unless one or more of its stockholders assume personal liability for the obligation. Limited lability i, therefore, the product of a contract between shareholders and creditors who find the provision acceptable, 4. What is the main argument of the author against the views of the social crusaders? (A) Corporations are commercial ventures and hence will have only profit making as their objective. (B) Corporations may act against the interests of the stockholders if they assume social responsibility, (©) There is nothing like a common good when sociely does not have an existence apart from the individuals constituting it. (0) The corporation is not a fictitious entity but a legal one deriving its authority from law. 5. It can be inferred from the passage thal the author's intention in writing the passage is to (A) aver that a corporation need not have the Common goad of the society as its objective.

But its not that simple. The scientific literature reports, but it also aims to persuade readers that what it reports is reliable and significant. And the arts of persuasion are inevitably literary and, specifically, rhetorical. It is an arduously learned skill to write in the way that ‘Nature’ deems acceptable. Conventions of scientific writing have changed enormously over the past few centuries and even over recent decades. The very big differences between Jane Austen's ‘Persuasion’ and a scientific paper lie in the different patterns of rhetoric used in the latter, notin their absence from it There are now many historical and sociological studies of scientific communication. Joseph Harmon and Alan Gross's book, ‘The Scientific Literature,’ is something different — neither a research monograph on the history of scientific writing nor a straightforward compilation of excerpts. Originating from an exhibition held at the University of Chicago in 2000, it includes about 125 examples of scientific writing taken from papers, books, reviews and Nobel speeches, and covers material from the seventeenth century up to the announcement of the rough draft of the human genome in 2001 ‘An excerpt is rarely longer than 500 words and sometimes as brief as 150, or may just be a diagram. These scientific snippets are embedded in strands of editorial commentary describing, highlighting and interpreting them. The tone is genial: this guided tour doesn't threaten arduous intellectual adventure. Rhetorical terms are explained, scientific authors are identified, and pertinent scientific contexts introduced. There is no single argument embodied in this book — more a selection of sensibiliies intended to help readers appreciate the remarkable and shifting set of literary forms that scientific writing has assumed. One theme is historical change. The authors point out that, not surprisingly, specialization has been accompanied by increasingly exclusive scientific writing. There never was a golden age when every educated person could read everything in the scientific iterature — Newton's Principia’ defeated all but a small number of natural philosophers and mathematicians. But until the mid-nineteenth century, the general readership of such periodicals as the ‘Edinburgh Review’ might find serious treatments of what was up in geology, astronomy or mathematics, written by notable scientists. “Tromphant Institute of Vanagement Education Pt Ld, (TEM) HO- 955, 2” Flor, Siiansaty Complex, Sesundeabed 500 008 Tol: 040-27808195 Fax: 040-27847334 email: info@timetodcation.com website: wwitimededicaion.com _ MCIOO1SON6‘The accelerating incomprehensibilty of scientific writing to the average educated person is not merely the fault of the much-lamented ‘public ignorance of science.’ Specialists have been so successful in constructing and bounding their own audiences that they rarely feel any need to address the laity or even scientists in other disciplines. Indeed, the plant physiologist is likely to be just as poorty equipped as any non-scientist to read a paper on super-conductivity Another theme is the impersonalily of scientific prose. Scientific writing has always been relatively impersonal, but the literary forms of impersonality have changed over time. In the seventeenth century, Robert Boyle used thickly layered circumstantial reporting to portray himself as a modest witness of his experiments, his judgement uncoloured by theoretical interest. He was nevertheless a witness al the centre of his own narratives, not averse to using the first-person singular ~ “I did X. | saw Y". By the nineteenth century ~ when the French physiologist Claude Bernard coined the aphorism “Art is |; Science is We" — the scientific author became increasingly submerged in either the first-person plural ("We did X, we saw Y") or in the passive voice now standard in scientific papers ("X was done, Y was seen’) ‘The rhetorical convention here implies that scientific authors do not matter to what they report in the same way that Jane Austen matters to ‘Persuasion’. Although some insist that scientific research is an imaginative exercise land that its findings have an aesthetic character, the convention of impersonaliy is testimony to the opposite ssensibiliy. Science is considered to discover; art to create. Harmon and Gross are quite right to draw attention to non-verbal forms of communication and the changes produced by both instrumental and representational technologies on the ability of the scientific literature to show as well as say. Wood or copperplate engravings were important in seventeenthi-century science, but such images were expensive to produce and limited in their information content. Now, practically every issue of a scientific journal isa cornucopia of high-bandwidth visual communication sometimes even in online video form. Its becoming easier to envisage present-day science communication without words than without images. It is disappointing then that many of the ilustrations in ‘The Scientific Literature’ are so murkily reproduced, May be i is easier for humanists to say that visual communication is important than for them and their publishers to act as if itis. 410. ‘The Scientific Literature’ can best be described as (A) a collection of scientific essays from the last century.

From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way. 46. The emerging political system in Russia is not yet a dictatorship, but nor is it democracy in anything but formal terms. Opposition parties can exist ~ but only within certain bounds. Elections are held = but their results are a foregone conclusion. The power holders are chosen in Kremlin corridors long before the polls open. _ (A) There is no real political debate in the public media and no broader culture of democracy to foster diversity of opinion. (8) The most successful oligarchs are shadowy figures in the presidential entourage and political connections are the fastest way to become rich. {C) And all the country's senior politicians are multmilionaires, their money safely stashed abroad for them by Kremlinavoured businessmen. {D) There is only a very small number of human Fights associations, to counteract the power of the state. 17. A theory of personality is simply a sot of presuppositions about human nature. Emghasis must be laid — because of the findings of psychoanalysis, anthropology andthe 18. psychology of leaming ~ upon human potentialities. Nothing can be further from the truth than the shibboleth that ‘human nature is tnalterable’, if by human nature is meant the specific form and content of personaly. (A) In the adult personality there are integrating principles no doubt, but there are also various levels and areas that are more or less central to the structure as a whole, (8) New and momentous changes in intemational forganization seem imminent whose implications for individual personality can be ‘seen but vaguely. (©) Every personaly is capable of more than fone mode of expression and that depends ‘upon the total psychological field and upon cultural phrasings. (0) Any theory of personality which rests upon such a basis is necessarily weak, for personality is pre-eminently @ social product land human society is ever on the march, Every novel function in nature can be viewed as an interesting mix of adaptations, exaptations and ‘adaptations. In our current state of knowledge we ‘are not in any position to quantify the relative Contributions of any of these three processes and their products for any iven function. We are beginning to acquire the experimental tools to tease out the contribution of one or other process in one or other function, which could help us relieve some of our deepest ignorance of the ‘world around us. (A) There are realms of nature that will always remain beyond our ken. (8) There can be no expansion of knowledge until we rid ourselves of this ignorance. (©) However, researchers can hold their heads high, knowing that they are on the right track. (0) We face an exhilarating prospect for the future, bbut cannot arrive at easy answers for the present. Directions for questions 19 to 21: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer for the questions that follow it Those who defend economic growth often argue that only rich countries can afford to protect the environment. The bigger the economy, the more money will be available for stopping pollution, investing in new forms of energy, preserving wilderness, Only the wealthy can ive sustainably, ‘Anyone who has watched the horror in the Gulf of Mexico has cause to doubt this. The world’s richest country decided not to impose the rules that might have prevented the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, arguing that these would impede the pursuit of greeter wealth. Economic growth, and the demand for il it propelled, drove ‘companies to dil in dificult and risky places. But we needn't rely on this event to dismiss the comucopians' thesis as self-serving nonsense. A new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences calculates deforestation rates between 2000 and 2005 in the countries withthe largest areas of forest cover. The nation withthe lowest rate was the Democratic Republic ‘of Congo (ORC). The nation with the highest, caused by a combination of logging and fre, was the United States. Loss of forest cover there (6% in five years) was almost twice as fast asin Indonesia and ten times as fast as in the DRC. Why? Because those poorer countries have less money to invest in opening up remote places and felling trees, ‘Tiumphant Insitute of Management Education Pvt Lid (FAME) HO: 958, 2" Flor, Siddansaty Complex, Seconded 500008 Tel: 030-27898195 Fax :O40-27847334 em infodtimededcationcom website : www timeteducation cam MC1001S0158‘The wealthy nations are plundering not just their own resources. The environmental disasters caused by the oll industry in Ecuador and Nigeria are not driven by Ecuadorian or Nigerian demand, but by the thirst for olin richer nations. Deforestation in Indonesia is driven by the rich world's demand for palm oil and timber, in Brazil by our hunger for timber and animal feed. ‘The Guardian's carbon calculator reveals that the UK has greatly underestimated the climate impacts of our ‘consumption of stuff. The reason is that official figures don't count outsourced emissions: the greenhouse gases produced by other countries manufacturing goods for our markets. Another recent paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that the UK imports @ net 253 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, ‘embodied in the goods it buys. When this is taken into account, we find that far fram cutting emissions since 1990, as the last government claimed, we have increased them. Money wrecks the environment. So the Dark Mountain project, whose idees are spreading rapidly through the environment movement, is worth ‘examining. It contends that “capitalism has absorbed the greens’. Instead of seeking to protect the natural world from the impact of humans, the project claims that environmentalists now work on “sustaining human civilisation at the comfort level which the world's rich people feel is their right.” Today's greens, it charges, seek to sustain the culture that knackers the planet, demanding only that we replace ‘ld, polluting technologies with new ones — wind farms, solar arrays, wave machines ~ that wreck even more of the world's wild places. They have lost their feelings for nature, reducing the problem to an engineering challenge. They've forgotten that they are supposed to be defending the biosphere: instead they are trying to save industrial civilisation ‘That task, Paul Kingsnorth, co-iounder of Dark Mountain, believes, is futile: “the civilisation we are a part of is hitting the buffers at ful speed, and itis too late to stop it” Nor can we bargain with it, as “the economic system we rely upon cannot be tamed without collapsing, for it relies upon ... growth in order to function.” Instead of {tying to reduce the impacts of our civilisation, we should ‘start thinking about how we are going to live through its fall, and what we can learn from its collapse ... our task is to negotiate the coming descent as best we can, whilst Creating new myths which put humanity in its proper place.” ‘Though a fair bit ofthis takes aim at my writing and the ideas | champion, | recognise the truth in it. Something has been lost along the way. Among the charls and tables and technofixes, in the desperate search for green solutions that can work politically and economically, we have tended to forget the love of nature that drew us into all this, 19. The assertion/argument made by the Dark (8) the only way to escape the impact of Mountain project is that {A) the solution posed by the greens is worse than the problems they seek to solve. (8) the greens are seeking newer technological answers to solve the problem of limited resources, (©) the protector of the biosphere have become its predators, (0) environmentalists have watered down their stand to suit the capitalist, 20. Which of the following best explains the relationship of the opening para to what follows in the next few paras? (A) The first para presents @ hypothesis on economic growth that is elaborated and ‘supported in the subsequent paragraphs. (8) The opening para is a defence of capitalism that is challenged by the experience of underdeveloped countries. {C) The first para sets forth a view on environment which is contradicted with ‘evidence in the next few paragraphs. (0) The opening para presents one aspect of ‘economic growth and the following paragraphs present a different aspect of it 21. The words: "That task, the passage means that (A) the industrial civilization is redemption and its collapse imminent, is futile” in the context of beyond industrial civiization is to adopt environment friendly technologies. (C) unless wo reduce the impact of, industriaization on the environment, the latter may reach a point of no return, (0) in order to be effective, love of nature should be the driving force behind the green movement — not economic viability or political acceptability Directions for questions 22 to 24: Answer the {questions on the basis of the information given below. Tenzing, Edmund, Sherpa and Nawang are a team of four mountaineers on an expedition. The team climbed four mountains. While climbing each mountain the members of the team form a single file. The person at the top of the fle is called the Spiker, the second from the top is called the Trekker, the thicd from the top is called the Wrecker and the one at the bottom Is called the Striker. No person climbed two or more mountains at the Same position in the file. Further, the following information is known: (Neither Tenzing nor Edmund was the Spiker hile climbing the first or the fourth mountain, (i) The team climbed the mountain on which Nawang was the Wrecker before it climbed the mountain on which Sherpa was the Wrecker but after it climbed the mountain on which Edmund was the Wrecker. ‘Tumphant Instiute of Management Education Pvt, Lid (HLME) HO- 958, 2” Flor, Sdamssty Conplor, Secunderabad 500008 Tel: 040-27898195 Fax: 040-27887334 email: infv@timeteducatin.com webs wvwntimeteducation.com —_ MCIOOISOL
