ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Direction (71-80): Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are
given in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
There is no doubt that WhatsApp, messages have played a
key role in lynchings that have taken place in the country
recently, but how valid is it to place the blame on and acting
against what is after all, a medium of circulating
information. The argument against taking such a view has
been made forcefully by many commentators. The real
problem, they aver, is not a messaging service, but the
people who use it. The fact that WhatsApp is used all over
the world without people lynching each other is proof that
the problem is not technology, but its use in India. Using a
similar argument, one could act against any mode of
transmitting information, because of the effect that it might
create. While it is easy to agree with the argument that the
principal problem lies with the users of this service and not
the service itself, that doesn’t mean that no change is
required in the way that we regulate new forms of media.
Technology is not innocent, just because it carries no
mischief in its intent. The users might be responsible but
their usage is not independent of the technology; indeed, it
is often deeply embedded in it.
WhatsApp, for instance, offers invisible and instant
circulation of information within a closed group. On
WhatsApp, information is highly contagious as it spreads
quickly in a hothouse-like environment. A large number of
people bound by a shared connection can talk to each other
in real time. The information shared needs no external
validation, and the dynamics of a group like this means that
opinions get validated quickly. Given the secure and closed
nature of the pipeline, ideas that would normally not be
uttered aloud, become much easier to contemplate. Over
time, the bizarre can become the norm, and outlandishness
of a belief may no longer disqualify it from active
consideration. This functionality of WhatsApp does not
result in breeding lynch mobs everywhere, but it does
make it easy for this to happen in contexts such as the
Indian one.
Equally, the same technology used similarly, can produce
altogether another kind of result. Gathering donations for
organizing relief work in a disaster zone becomes so much
easier thanks to the same combination of a closed group
with a common intent being able to circulate information
instantly. The same messaging service that was used to
organize lynchings, was used to a completely different
effect in Kerala where it helped save many lives. This
pattern can be also seen in other forms of social media.
Twitter has democratized our political and cultural
discourse immeasurably and given voice to people in a way
not conceivable before. It has created much greater
accountability amongst those that hitherto had a
disproportionate share of power, be they politicians,
commentators or corporations. Equally it has given rise to
a discourse steeped in hate and abuse, which has seeped
into many areas of our real-world lives.

Every new technology reshapes social relationships and
re-orders notions of the legitimate. When we developed
the ability to travel beyond the speed generated by human
or animal bodies, we had to reconstitute our ideas of
transportation and created an elaborate new system of
rules in order to manage the use of that technology. We
willingly restricted some freedoms in order to function
better. Traffic rules, speed limits, parking laws- all of these
are ways in which we regulate ourselves. The resistance to
regulate the flow of information in a digital world needs to
be revisited. Freedom of expression as an ideal, cannot
mean exactly what it did in an earlier time. In any case, the
ability to broadcast news and views to a mass audience has
always been controlled. Those able to circulate
information in the mass domain were governed by a set of
laws, and followed rules and codes that were reasonably
well codified. While fake news or malicious rumors were
always in circulation, their ability to do harm was
restricted given their limited reach. Through a
combination of formal and informal methods, the veracity
of news was never in serious question. Tabloids, for
instance were widely consumed, but rarely mistaken for
serious news. Today, that is no longer the case.
The sudden and complete ability that all of us have to
broadcast our views to anyone in the world is a
development that has not been accommodated in the
social, legal and ethical structures that we have
constructed for ourselves. To continue to use old
frameworks rigidly in the name of an ideology or belief
system, is potentially short-sighted. When the velocity of
information transmission changes as dramatically as it has,
norms involving the circulation of information must surely
change. Rumors spread by word-of-mouth transmitted
using older technologies moved at a certain speed and in a
certain way. Social media changes those rules completely.
The fact that the key to these society-altering technologies
is held by a few private companies that simply do not have
the capability nor the intention to deal with the
implications of what they are able to control complicates
issues. A new society is being fashioned around a new
medium. We need to negotiate new rules for this world. To
begin with, we need to acknowledge that the old rules don’t
apply. What the new rules should be is a difficult question,
for the risks cut both ways. We could over-regulate new
forms of media and give away many hard-fought freedoms
or we could regress into a state driven by primitive
passions by not recognizing the need for change and doing
nothing at all. The answers may be elusive, but the
questions need to be asked.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

71. (c); Option (c) is the most suitable choice. Refer to

paragraph 1 where it is given that the fact that
WhatsApp is used all over the world without
people lynching each other is proof that the
problem is not technology, but its use in India.
Rest all of the options are not mentioned in the
given passage.
72. (b); Option (b) is the most appropriate choice. Refer
to paragraph 2 where it is described that
Whatsapp is an application that offers invisible
and instant circulation of information within a
closed group. “A large number of people bound by
a shared connection can talk to each other in real
time. The information shared needs no external
validation, and the dynamics of a group like this
means that opinions get validated quickly.”
73. (c); The appropriate choice here is option (c).The
answer can be deduced from paragraph 3 where
it is given that Twitter has democratized our
political and cultural discourse immeasurably
and given voice to people in a way not conceivable
before. It has created much greater accountability
amongst those that until now had a
disproportionate share of power, be they
politicians, commentators or corporations.
Equally it has given rise to a discourse steeped in
hate and abuse, which has seeped into many areas
of our real-world lives.
74. (d); Option (d) is the correct choice. It is the only
statement which is definitely false according to
the given passage. Refer to third paragraph
where this particular statement is given as :
“Twitter has given rise to a discourse steeped in
hate and abuse, which has seeped into many
areas of our real-world lives.” Hence this is the
correct form of the statement.
75. (b); Option (b) is the suitable theme of the passage.
As the whole passage revolves around
renegotiating the freedom of the mass audience
which can be derived from the last paragraph.
Hence the correct answer choice should be
option (b).
76. (b); Embedded means implanted.
Ingrained means firmly fixed or established;
difficult to change.
Dislodged means remove from a position of
power or authority.
Defenestrated means remove or dismiss
(someone) from a position of power or
authority.
77. (d); Contemplate means think about.
Ruminate means think deeply about something.
corn means a feeling and expression of contempt
or disdain for someone or something.
Discard means get rid of (someone or
something) as no longer useful or desirable.
Abandon means cease to support or look after
(someone); desert.
78. (b); Disproportionate means too large or too small in
comparison with something else.
Inordinate means unusually or
disproportionately large; excessive.
Commensurate means in proportion.
Equitable means fair and impartial.
Correspondent means parallel, equivalent.
79. (c); Notions means ideas or beliefs.
Certainties means surety about something.
Hence it is the only answer here which is in
opposite of the given word.
Caprices means a sudden and unaccountable
change of mood or behavior.
Inklings means a slight knowledge or suspicion;
a hint.

80. (e); Veracity means conformity to facts; accuracy.
Mendacity means untruthfulness. Hence it is the
only antonym of the given word.
Authenticity means originality.
Probity means the quality of having strong moral
principles; honesty and decency.
Fidelity means faithfulness to a person, cause, or
belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and
support.
Reputability means the state of having a good
reputation.
81. (e); The most appropriate word that fills the blank of
both the sentences is “vague” which means of
uncertain, indefinite, or unclear character or
meaning. “vague” perfectly fits in the context of
the sentences providing them the absolute
meaning. However, all the other words fail to fit
in the blanks. Hence, option (e) is the most
suitable answer choice.
Impulsive means acting or done without
forethought.
heltered means protected from difficulties or
unpleasant realities.
Unequivocal means leaving no doubt;
unambiguous.
82. (a); The most appropriate word that fills the blank of
both the sentences is “persuade” which means
induce (someone) to do something through
reasoning or argument. “Persuade” perfectly fits
in the context of the sentences providing them
the absolute meaning. However, all the other
words fail to fit in the blanks. Hence, option (a)
is the most suitable answer choice.
Prison means imprison
Abduct means take (someone) away illegally by
force or deception; kidnap.
83. (b); The most appropriate word that fills the blank of
both the sentences is “portend” which means be
a sign or warning that (something, especially
something momentous or calamitous) is likely to
happen. “Portend” perfectly fits in the context of
the sentences providing them the absolute
meaning. However, all the other words fail to fit
in the blanks. Hence, option (b) is the most
suitable answer choice.
Insulate means protect (someone or something)
from unpleasant influences or experiences.
Rejoice means feel or show great joy or delight.
Decipher means succeed in understanding,
interpreting, or identifying (something).
14 Adda247 Publications
84. (d); The most appropriate word that fills the blank of
both the sentences is “menace” which means a
person or thing that is likely to cause harm; a
threat or danger. “Menace” perfectly fits in the
context of the sentences providing them the
absolute meaning. However, all the other words
fail to fit in the blanks. Hence, option (d) is the
most suitable answer choice.
Clump means a small, compact group of people.
Adherent means someone who supports a
particular party, person, or set of ideas.
Anarchy means a state of disorder due to
absence or non-recognition of authority or other
controlling systems.
85. (b); The most appropriate word that fills the blank of
both the sentences is “discourse” which means a
formal discussion of a topic in speech or writing.
“Discourse” perfectly fits in the context of the
sentences providing them the absolute meaning.
However, all the other words fail to fit in the
blanks. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable
answer choice.
Confound means cause surprise or confusion in
(someone), especially by not according with
their expectations.
Impudence means the quality of being
impudent; impertinence.
86. (a); The error lies in the first part of the sentence. It
is to be noted that the subject [everyone] of the
sentence is singular and therefore singular verb
forms agree with everyone. Thus, to form a
grammatically viable sentence, replace “agree”
with “agrees”. All the other parts of the sentence
are correct. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable
answer choice.
87. (d); The error lies in the second and third part of the
sentence. It is to be noted that the preposition
“of” is incorrectly used in the phrase, it should be
replaced by “for” as ‘for’ is used to show purpose
or function. Furthermore, the third phrase of the
sentence also needs correction. To describe the
quality of persons, the adjective must be used i.e.
“poor” instead of “poorly” which is an adverb. All
the other given parts are correct and do not
require any corrections. Hence, option (d) is the
most suitable answer choice.
88. (a); The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
To make the sentence correct “mounts” should
be replaced by “mounted” as we will use past
tense here because we are introducing the
