bio-products has generated employment in the rural sector. Co-operative credit societies have [28] up to
cope with the increasing demand of capital by small farmers and workers engaged in cottage industries.
[29] this, efforts are continuing to execute works of common benefit for the village community; such as,
village roads, tanks, gas plants, technical know-how centres and adult education units in the rural sector.

Directions (Q.31-Q.35): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
What is common to the US and India today is both societies are experiencing viciously polarised politics,
and social media is playing a critical role in making propaganda and hate travel at the speed of light.
Polarisation of politics is sharpening the ethical divide in the media as well. We should take a cue from
what US President Joe Biden said in his inaugural speech – that truth and democracy are under attack
and there is a need to deal with this unambiguously. In India too, democracy and truth are under constant
assault, as now established by severe court strictures.
The US has hopefully taken the lead in examining Big Tech as well as social media, and the role it plays
in accentuating hate politics and polarisation. Social media is being used as a tool by TV channels
dishing out daily propaganda to divide society. We must have a national debate on the regulation of
social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, Twitter etc. Hate speech moves so fast on
social media that regulators or the judiciary don’t get time to react. The traditional view is that free speech
and expression must have precedence over any form of censorship. But new realities – like seen in the
Capitol – may force curbs on free speech before they lead to violence. Free speech must remain for
ordinary citizens for democracy to thrive. A beginning could be made to watch more carefully how
influential leaders in society use social media. The courts and media bodies need to create a framework
of self-regulation and keep a close watch on social media as a means to contain hate speech.

A deeper introspection is needed within the media on programming, content and business practices.
Advertisers should look at the content on media platforms where they advertise. A lot of advertisers have
withdrawn their advertisements from Fox News in the US, which openly propagated Trump’s lies.
Similarly some advertisers have withdrawn from Republic TV in India. The TRP scam has also served as
a wake up call for ethical behaviour within the media. Social media also needs a universal/global code of
conduct, not different sets of rules for different geographies. The US under Biden can help set these new
rules for Big Tech companies which control social media. Separately, there is also a need to regulate the
business aspects (monopoly) of Big Tech which often feeds into politics. The more Big Tech entities
gather information on the private lives of citizens, the more powerful they become both politically and
commercially. They will probably have more information than the state itself.

31. The main theme of the passage revolves around:


(a) Complete banning of social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, Twitter etc.
(b) The courts and media bodies need to create a framework of self-regulation and keep a close watch
on social media as a means to contain hate speech and monopoly.
(c) In order for democracy to thrive, free speech should be strictly regulated.
(d) Controlling American presidential election through social media platforms.

32. Which of the following statements is/are true?


Statement 1: Big Tech companies become politically and commercially powerful through gathering
information on the private lives of citizens.
Statement 2: Advertisers should look at the content on media platforms before advertising so that they
don’t provide funding to hate politics and polarization.
(a) Statement 1
(b) Statement 2
(c) Both Statement 1 and 2
(d) Neither Statement 1 nor 2

33. Which of the following options represents the meaning of the word ‘unambiguously’ as has been
conveyed in the passage?
(a) a list or supply of dramas, operas, pieces, or parts that a company or person is prepared to perform
(b) in a manner that is not open to more than one interpretation.
(c) (especially of a position or view) not able to be maintained or defended against attack or objection.
(d) lessen the effectiveness, power, or ability of, especially gradually or insidiously.

Mango Tree.” Pinki Jain was the owner of the house and wasn’t willing to sell the house. Pinki Jain’s son
Uttkarsh Jain was in love with Pooja Bhatt. Mahesh Bhatt thought of exploiting this opportunity and told
Uttkarsh that “if you convince your mother to sell the house to me, then I will arrange the marriage of my
daughter with you.” He had no intention of marrying his daughter with Uttkarsh. Uttkarsh convinced his
mother to sell the house to Mahesh Bhatt by saying that “this might impress Mahesh Bhatt and he may
marry his daughter with me.” Pinki Jain, out of love for her son sold the house “The Mango Tree” to
Mahesh Bhatt.
(a) The contract is voidable because consent of Pinki Jain to sell the house was obtained by fraud.
(b) The contract hasn’t come into existence because the two parties haven’t agreed upon the same “The
Mango Tree.”
(c) The contract is not voidable because Pinki Jain’s consent is not affected by the fraud but she sold the

panicked and ran to shoot the man. She ran for a while and then shot the man. It was found that the man
was her neighbour who had come near her house to pick up his ball. He ran when he saw Anamika with
a gun. He sued Anamika for the injury. Anamika claimed right to self-defence.
(a) Anamika is not liable because she had exercised her right to self-defence fearing that the man is a
thief.
(b) Anamika is not liable because she did not know that the man is her neighbour. She panicked and
therefore was right in shooting the man.

owned a huge bungalow in the city and was worried about it. He remembered that his friend Shameek
had always been interested in building a similar house as Rajeev’s. On 1st February, Rajeev sent a letter
to Shameek which said “Dear Shameek, I have decided to sell my bungalow in the city and move to
village. I thought you might consider buying it from me. I will sell it to you for its current market value
which is Rs. 3 crore. Call me by 10th February. I will keep this proposal open, and will not withdraw it, until
after that date.” Next day, Shameek was discussing about his interest in buying the bungalow with his
sister Mehak. Mehak responded that a friend of hers, Kamini has also received the offer from Rajeev to
purchase the bungalow. Shameek on realizing that he may lose the offer, immediately went to his room
