Directions(101-108): Read the following
passage and answer the following
questions. Some words are highlighted
to help you answer some of the
questions.
For the first time in the history of the United
States, a President has incited insurrection by
his neo-Nazi brigade of right-wing supporters,
opposing the peaceful transfer of power. It
is tantamount to encouraging hostility when
the world stood horrified as a witness to the
rioters storming the U.S. Capitol. The violence
against democracy, a blotch on the American
constitutional democracy, interestingly,
changed the minds of senators like Kelly
Loeffler (Republican) who had previously said
that they would object to the Electoral College
results.
The unhinged and angry authoritarian at last
stands crushed and humiliated after trying his
best to undercut one of the oldest democratic
systems in existence. With Joe Biden walking
into the White House on January 20, there
can be no overplaying the enormity of the
tasks ahead of him, what with the deeply
polarised nation divided into two belligerent
camps. Afflicted with an escalating novel
coronavirus pandemic, an ailing economy,
racial discrimination, and a climate crisis
rebuffed by millions, Mr. Biden’s America has
four long years to undo the tragic
consequences of intolerance and division left
behind by the incumbent.
Tragedy, for Joe Biden, is the very condition
of life. Having lost his wife and daughter in an
accident and a son to cancer, Joe Biden has
always had the deep-seated desire to urge
politics towards humanism in the wake of the
overwhelming systemic racism that has
underpinned American culture recently. The
bitter assault on democracy is better
understood in the recent revelation of his
letter written in 1975 to the famous German-
American philosopher, Hannah Arend,
requesting her to send him a copy of her paper
read at the Boston Bicentennial Forum. It
reflects his desire to find “deeper causes”
underlying the economic and social collapse
as well as the scourge of racism.
Arendt sent out a warning in her paper
entitled “ Coming Home to Roost” which
the present generation must heed: “All
speculation about deeper causes returns from
the shock of reality... the stark, naked
brutality of facts, of things as they are.” Her
focus is largely on her deep-seated interest in
political humanism and a free space in the
world inhabited by people who are inspired by
public principles and an ethics that stands in
stark contradiction to the inherent ethno-
nationalist populism and alternate-reality
politics of Donald Trump. Boastful and
deluded like Mussolini, and with an
overriding penchant for self-glorification, he
is overwhelmingly obsessed with not letting
go of his power. More frighteningly, his
conception of reality is different and facts
have no significance for him.
Arendt returns repeatedly to this theme of the
difference in things as they are and things as
they can be made to seem — the difference,
for example, in “our … outright humiliating
defeat” in Vietnam and what Americans had
been led to believe would be “peace with
honor”. The image projected by Mr. Trump of
an America for the whites, where there is no
place for immigrant “termites”, coheres with
the public sentiment of the white non-college
going population that relates fondly with the
language of a President that is no better than
a junior school third rater. The invasion of Mr.
Trump into the political life of America has
been more of a politics of lies projected
through the dominance of an image to
convince the people that only he could save
America. And now when the shaky putsch has
failed and the Trump loyalists have departed
for home, he has begun to exactly do what the
American government is an old hand at:
“finding ways and means of how to avoid
admitting defeat” and keeping the image of a
President as the ‘mightiest power on earth’
and the only one who can keep it intact. A
bully is no different.
101. Why this time the transfer of
power has become a hazardous and
astonishing incident for US
demography and for its prominence?
1. because the election of new President
is against democracy and people’s will

5. None of these
102. Why it will become intricate for
the new President to carry out
democratic functioning ahead?

challenged by the US population
2. because the US now can be seen as a
polarized country with two different
ideologies
3. now the US has a smudged image in
the international institutions which will
be challenging
4. All of these 5. None of these
103. According to the passage, why Joe
Biden is the President having different
perspective and beliefs?
1. because his presidency will be more
challenging due to COVID-19

different from the US constitution
3. The US is the biggest and influencer
democratic country that can
revolutionize the world
4. because his presidency will

3. because of his trait to convince people
to believe in his false promise

announced that all passengers arriving
in the Capital from the United Kingdom
will have to undergo a seven-day
institutional quarantine followed by a
seven-day home quarantine even if they
test negative for COVID-19 on arrival.

ban on flights from the U.K. imposed
earlier to prevent the spread of a new
strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, 246
passengers arrived by an Air India
flight on Friday morning.
Representatives from Genestrings
Diagnostic, the lab conducting the RT-
PCR tests at the Delhi airport, said no
passenger had tested positive so far.

120. The first advanced estimates of
economic output for the current
financial year posit a picture of an
economy rebounding robustly in the
second half from the pandemic-induced
slump of the preceding two quarters.
The National Statistical Office on
Thursday projected that GDP in the 12
months ending March would total
almost ₹134.4-lakh crore in constant
prices, reflecting a 7.7% contraction
from the preceding year’s figure. To
reach that level, the NSO has assumed
that output will recover vigorously in
the third and fourth quarters. After
contracting by almost 16% in the April-
September period, it sees GDP being
just a mere ₹10,400 crore short of the
year-earlier second half’s figure. It is
this mathematical projection that is
hard to square with the economic
reality revealed in both the NSO’s more
detailed sectoral output forecasts as
well as other emerging trends from
ground-level activity.
1. Being cynical of decreasing GDP in
the first half of financial year
2. the optimism of great ability to cope

Directions(121-127): Read the following
passage and answer the following
questions based on the given passage.
To enable small farmers to diversify their
crops or improve their income they must have
access to credit at reasonable rates of interest.
This has been an agenda of the triad of the
Centre, the States and the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) for decades. Unfortunately, while
the volume of credit has improved over the
decades, its quality and impact on agriculture
has only deteriorated. Agricultural credit has
become less efficient in delivering agricultural
growth.
Every year, the central government announces
an increase in the target of subsidised
agriculture credit limit and banks surpass the
target. {X} The question is: where (A)/ is
the credit and subsidy going (B)/ and is
they really (C) /benefiting the farmers?
(D)
In the last 10 years, agriculture credit
increased by 500% but has not reached even
20% of the 12.56 crore small and marginal
farmers. Despite an increase in agri-credit,
even today, 95% of tractors and other agri-
implements sold in the country are being
financed by non-banking financial companies.
A loose definition of agri-credit has led to the
leakage of loans at subsidised rates to large
companies in agri-business.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development (NABARD) provided credit to
only agri-business not agriculturists. It made
indirect loans to dealers and sellers of
fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and agricultural
implements undertaking work for farmers.
A review by the RBI’s internal working group
in 2019 found various inconsistencies. It
found that in some States, credit disbursal to
the farm sector was higher than their
agriculture gross domestic product (GDP) and
the ratio of crop loans disbursed to input
requirement was very unevenly distributed.
Examples are in Kerala (326%), Andhra
Pradesh (254%), Tamil Nadu (245%), Punjab
(231%) and Telangana (210%). This shows the
diversion of credit for non-agriculture
purposes. One reason for this diversion is that
subsidised credit disbursed at a 4%-7% rate of
interest is being refinanced to small farmers,
and in the open market at a rate of interest of
up to 36%.
Subsidised credit should be the cause for
viable agriculture but, unfortunately, the
agriculture sector’s performance has not
been commensurate with the subsidised
credit that it has received. Even new farm laws
have not addressed the reform in the
agriculture credit system.
The way forward is to empower small and
marginal farmers by ‘giving them direct
income support on a per hectare basis rather
than hugely subsidising credit. Streamlining
the agri-credit system to facilitate higher crop
loans to farmer producer organisations, or the
FPOs of small farmers against commodity
stocks can spur agriculture growth’.
With mobile phone penetration among
agricultural households in India the prospects
to improve institutional credit delivery
through technology-driven solutions can
reduce the extent of the financial exclusion of
agricultural households. Farmers have been
able to avail themselves of loans through
mobile phone apps, says a media report.
These apps use satellite imagery reports which
capture the extent of land owned by farmers
in States where land records are digitised and
they grow the crop to extend the Kisan Credit
Card loans digitally. Instant, otherwise,
farmers have to produce the certified land
record copy from the revenue department,
which is much time consuming. {Y} Other
steps are reforming the land leasing
(A) framework and creating a national-level
agency to build censure (B) among States
and the Centre concerning (C) agriculture
credit reforms to fill the gap and reach out to
the greatest (D) number of small and
marginal farmers.

farmers”?
1. According to the NSSO survey there
are 85 percent small and marginalized
farmers who do not take help of formal
sector for credit
2. The Central sector schemes like
MNREGA are more attractive because
youth find it more lucrative than to toil
in farm fields

is loosely defined and major chunk of
credit goes to large business houses, this
is termed as leakage of subsidized loans
