Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug
research with the moral imperative to provide medicines to those who most need
them but cannot afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in

many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation.

journalist’s reasoning?

regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions.

resources to assist those incapable of assisting themselves.

than do people in poorer nations.

disks in the squids and other cephalopods. The limbs of various mammals are
modified according to several different modes of life for swift running
(cursorial) as in horse, for flying (Volant) as in the bats, for swimming
(aquatic) as in the seals, whales and dolphins. The structures or that shows

mammalian limb.

the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions.

complete an interrupted task are some of the marks of the goal directed
behavior. For instance, in work organizations a diligent worker
would like to finish the work assigned to him. He would not rest till he
completes it. This goal directed behavior is elaborated by saying ‘the
behavior is motivated’. Motives are fundamentally of two types, innate
