SECTION I-ENGLISH
Directions (1-3): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The extremists who have turned militant declare war against anyone with viewpoints contrary to
theirs; thus, declaration of war against a government is commonplace. In Egypt, they oppose their
government. Similarly in Jordan, they oppose their government. In Syria, Pakistan, Algeria, and
many other countries "Wahhabi-minded" groups oppose their governments as they have begun to do
in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The approach of these movements is to infiltrate mosques, Islamic
teaching centres, and charitable organizations from where they indoctrinate religiously oriented
people with their ideas and methods. They forcefully impose their views on weak societies, in hopes
of conquering one and establishing a base for further control. They justify their militant acts and
illegal means of financing their cause by claiming to wage a "jihad" for the preservation of Islam.

Directions (34-40):Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The difference now is that India‘s relatively new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, came to office last
year with a broader vision of India as a global power, and a far greater affinity for the United States
than his predecessors. And at the same time, China has begun aggressively looking to project power
into the Indian Ocean and beyond, giving both the United States and India a tangible reason to build
closer ties, especially on defense matters.
Mr. Modi has also made domestic manufacturing of products including military hardware a priority
since taking office, and a substantial coproduction deal with the United States would be ―a
significant move forward,‖ said Sanjeev Shrivastav, an analyst at the Institute for Defense Studies
and Analyses, a research center based in New Delhi.
To stress the importance of maritime defense and manufacturing ties, Mr. Carter stopped in the
southeastern city of Visakhapatnam on Tuesday to see the headquarters of the Indian Navy‘s eastern
command, the first visit to an operating Indian military command by an American defense secretary.
There, Mr. Carter received a short briefing from the Indian commander, and quickly toured a frigate
that was designed and built in India (though its engines were purchased from General Electric, and
many of its other systems also came from abroad).
India is ―not only rising economically and militarily, but is also a regional security provider,‖ Mr.
Carter told reporters on Wednesday before he met Manohar Parrikar, the Indian defense minister, to
sign the defense framework. Earlier in the day, he laid a wreath at India Gate, a towering arch in the
center of New Delhi that commemorates the country‘s war dead.
Though American officials do their best to avoid actually saying ―China‖ when discussing the
Obama administration‘s so-called rebalance toward Asia, that country‘s growing assertiveness has
loomed over Mr. Carter‘s entire trip, which began eight days ago in Hawaii. There, he publicly
chastised Beijing for building artificial islands in the contested waters of the South China Sea, and
said American warships and military aircraft would continue to travel through skies and sea lanes
that China now claims fall within its territory.
Days later, he repeated those statements at an annual meeting of Asian defense officials in
Singapore, and outlined a broad American vision for all of the countries claiming parts of the South
China Sea, through which more than half the world‘s trade passes each year, to halt the building of
artificial islands and the militarization of existing outposts.
Vietnam, where Mr. Carter next stopped, has dozens of small outposts in the South China Sea, and
he did press officials there on a land-reclamation freeze (they were noncommittal). But the focus of
Mr. Carter‘s visit to Vietnam was on building closer ties to a country whose defense establishment
fears China but remains suspicious of the United States, as do many defense and security officials in
India.
Mr. Modi, however, is eager to work with the United States. ―I think his close group of advisers are
very committed to it,‖ a senior American official said. ―But that doesn‘t always translate effectively
or immediately translate into the bureaucratic levels, and so that‘s a challenge that we face.‖
The American official and others who are taking part in the trip to India spoke on the condition of
anonymity at the insistence of the Pentagon, though they were not discussing classified matters,
sensitive internal deliberations or delicate talks with another government.
Despite the historical wariness between India and the United States, the tenor on both sides was
optimistic on Wednesday. The Pentagon now has a special India team meant to help senior officials
cut through their own bureaucracy, for instance, and American and Indian defense officials have
talked about exchanging technology on major military items, like jet engines and launch catapults for
aircraft carriers.
―Jet engines, aircraft carrier technology are big projects that we‘re working very hard on,‖ Mr. Carter
said, ―to blaze a trail for things to come.‖
India also seems to be overcoming its fears that if it works with the United States on major military
hardware, spare parts or other support will be cut off in the event of a conflict with Pakistan, a
longstanding American ally, said Mr. Shrivastav, the analyst.
The two research projects announced on Wednesday definitely qualify as small. One is for a mobile
power generator that could use solar energy, internal combustion and other fuel sources. The other is
for advanced gear to protect soldiers from chemical and biological attacks. The price tag for each
project — $1 million, with each country contributing half — amounts to what would basically be
rounding errors in the government budgets of both India and the United States.
