It wasn’t very long ago that a banana was just a banana – just a curved, yellow fruit. All you knew, if you bought a
bunch in 1986, was that they cost around 97p per kilo. You weren’t told if they were organic or pesticide-free. You
didn’t know if they came from Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic. And you certainly weren’t invited to worry
about the farmers who grew them – or if their children went to school, or whether their villages had clinics. You just
picked up your bananas and walked to the next aisle for your coffee or tea or chocolate, none the wiser about where
they came from either, or about the people who farmed them.
Back then, the countries that grew these commodities and many others were still known as the Third World, and the
habit of not caring about their farming conditions was a legacy of their colonial past. For centuries, trade propelled
the colonial project, and exploitation was its very purpose. The farmers of Asia, Africa and South America were
forced to raise the crops that the empire’s companies wanted, to work the crops in abject conditions, and to part with
them at ruinously low prices. In the last century, the empires melted away, but the trade remained lopsided – with the
imbalance now rationalized by the market, which deemed it “efficient” to pay farmers as little as possible. In the
1970s, a Ghanaian cocoa farmer often received less than 10 cents out of every dollar his beans earned on the
commodities market; as a proportion of the retail price of a chocolate bar, his take was smaller still. Child labor was
common. The chocolate companies prospered, and their customers shopped well; the farmers stayed poor.
Then, in the late 1980s, you began to hear more about these farmers, encountering their stories on television or in
newspapers or even on the labels of the packages you bought. The reasons were manifold. Environmental awareness
was on the rise. The prices of some commodities were crashing, placing agricultural incomes in even more acute
peril than usual. There had already been small groups pushing for more equitable trade: “little do-good shops
scattered in cities around Europe, selling products … bought at fair prices directly from small producers abroad”, as
one pioneer described it. By the early 1990s, these disparate initiatives began to coalesce into a larger international
struggle to radically reform our relationship with what we bought. Trade have long been unfair by design, but now
there was a growing movement to make consumers care about that unfairness, and even to help rectify it.
The crown jewel of this movement was Fairtrade International, an umbrella body formed in 1997 out of various
national chapters that had sprouted over the previous decade. Fairtrade was founded on the conviction that
consumers could make the marketplace more moral. The spine of Fairtrade’s philosophy has always been price:
simple, clean, the kind of measure that economists like to deal with. If companies pay farmers equitably, Fairtrade
believes, other benefits cascade out as well. Farmers can hire adult workers, rather than employing children; they can
send their kids to school and buy medicines; they can improve the yields of their farms by using better fertilizers.
Producers must meet a number of standards to qualify for Fairtrade: rules about labor conditions, for instance, or
www.gradeup.co
waste disposal. But for companies, the totality of their ethical responsibilities towards their producers is encapsulated
by price.
o, Fairtrade works by forming a kind of “virtuous triangle” of ethical business. It recruits farmers and farming
cooperatives as members, asking them to meet its standards; periodically, Fairtrade sends inspectors to these farms
around the world, ensuring they are still compliant. At another vertex of the triangle, Fairtrade enlists companies to
pay a minimum price, always set above market price, for commodities from these member farms and offers to certify
products made from such ethically sourced commodities. The final corner is the customer, who can, with a little
counsel, be galvanized to shop consciously, and to buy Fairtrade-certified products even if they cost a few pence
more.
But its two real triumphs are in the realm of ideas, not numbers. First, and most obviously, Fairtrade challenged the
entrenched model of the commodities business – the belief that a farmer’s lean income was just an unavoidable
reality of trade economics. Second, somewhat more stealthily, it cemented the notion that the modern corporation
would be ethical if only someone held up a lamp and showed it the way. Capitalism didn’t have to be feared; the
market would figure out its own checks and balances, through labeling agencies such as Fairtrade and Rainforest
Alliance, without having to be regulated by any higher authority. Persistent and egregious inequality could be solved
by deft pleats and tucks to the garb of trade, rather than by a full reconsideration of its fabric and seams.

Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables
internetworking and essentially establishes the Internet. IP has the task of delivering packets from the source host to
the destination host solely based on the IP addresses in the packet headers. For this purpose, IP defines packet
structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the
www.gradeup.co
datagram with source and destination information. Historically, IP was the connectionless datagram service in the
original Transmission Control Program introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974; the other being the
connection-oriented Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

passage (and not just the first paragraph) given as options, that would justify the ideas mentioned in the first
paragraph. Option D does this, thus, it is the correct answer.
112. A
Sol. Refer to the following lines of the passage:
1. "...in the late 1980s, you began to hear more about these farmers, encountering their stories on television or in
newspapers or even on the labels of the packages you bought." Television and newspapers are forms of digital and
print media respectively. Thus, statement I is correct.
2. "For centuries, trade propelled the colonial project, and exploitation was its very purpose." Thus, statement II is
also correct.
3. "Fairtrade was founded on the conviction that consumers could make the marketplace more moral." Thus,
statement III is incorrect.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
113. C
Sol. Refer to the following lines from the passage:
1. "If companies pay farmers equitably, Fairtrade believes, other benefits cascade out as well." Thus, statement I is
correct.
2. "Producers must meet a number of standards to qualify for Fairtrade: rules about labour conditions, for
instance, or waste disposal." Thus, it cannot be said that farmers are not obliged to meet specified standards.
3. "...for companies, the totality of their ethical responsibilities towards their producers is encapsulated by price.
Thus, statement III is correct.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
114. D
Sol. Refer to the following lines from the passage:
1. "The reasons were manifold. Environmental awareness was on the rise." Thus, alternative 1 is correct.
2. "The prices of some commodities were crashing, placing agricultural incomes in even more acute peril than
usual." Thus, alternative 2 is correct.
3. There had already been small groups pushing for more equitable trade..." Hence, alternative 3 is incorrect.
Option E is the correct answer.
115. A
Sol. The error is in the first part of the sentence. "Trade" is a singular subject and requires a singular verb. Thus, "have"
cannot follow it. Also, the mention of "now" in the latter part of the sentence implies that the first part talks about the
past. Thus, the most appropriate verb would be "had".
www.gradeup.co
116. D
Sol. Amateur- non-professional
Insular- narrow-minded
Malodorous- having an unpleasant fragrance
The scent coming from a corpse would be nothing but unpleasant. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
117. A
Sol. The word ‘attack’ carries two meaning:
I. As a noun, it means “strong criticism of someone or something” (appropriately fills sentence I)
II. As a verb, it means “to try to hurt something or someone using force and violence” (appropriately fills sentence II)
III. The word ‘raid’ as a noun means “a surprise visit by police to arrest suspects or seize illicit goods” (appropriately
fills sentence III)
Now in the first blank we need a word that is synonymous to 'encourage'. Based on this we can shortlist option B
'incite' which means encourage or stir up and C 'provoke' which means stimulate or give rise to' . We know that an
outcry cannot be activated. Now based on this we can see that the second blank needs a verb in its base form to
maintain the parallel structure with 'affect' used in the sentence. Obviously 'determined' does not relate to it. Hence
option B is the correct answer.
The new sentence will be
The move to allow dumping of mercury provoked an outcry from residents of the area who fear that high levels of
mercury will affect their health and destroy ecologically sensitive forest area.

Sol. Agog- eager, excited

www.gradeup.co
120. A
Sol. Statement (ii) is factually incorrect. The passage mentions IP to be the one that defines packet structures
that encapsulate the data to be delivered. Statement (iii) is also in contradiction with the passage. As per
the passage, when Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn introduced Transmission Control Program in 1974, IP was the
connectionless datagram service, while the sentence refers to TCP for being the connectionless datagram
service. Statement (i) is correct and encapsulates almost all the important roles played by Internet
Protocol. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
121. A
Sol. Statement (ii) is completely out of context. As per the passage, the Great Depression was related to the
market crash and falling economy, and not with the literal depression. Further, the passage does not
specifies any group which suffered the most from the depression. Statement (iii) factually incorrect, as it
specifies the Great Depression to have occurred after the second world war, which is incorrect. Statement
(i) is correct and it encapsulates what the passage implies. As statement (i) is the only one which is
correct, therefore option A is the correct answer.
122. C
Sol. The summary of the paragraph must touch up these points:
• A black hole is very inefficient at converting its food to X-rays or any other form of radiation.
• A black hole has a stellar companion that sheds gas and forms a disk around the black hole.
• Those disks are very good at producing the X-rays detectable by powerful technology.
One may get confused between option B and option C so notice the word ‘augmenting’ in option B. Augmenting
means to make something greater by adding to it; increase. This is opposite of what a black hole does.
Therefore, option C is the apt answer.
123. D
Sol. Option A: The problem mentioned does not match to the problem mentioned in the paragraph.
Option B: It can’t be deciphered from the paragraph.
Option C: The paragraph does not say that ‘individuals who test positive for active tuberculosis (TB) but do not
initiate treatment.’
Option E: ‘India did have was a public health system’ can’t be deciphered from the paragraph.
From ‘actually take the prescribed course of medication….But the course of treatment is long: typically six months
www.gradeup.co
to a year…,’ one can say that option D is the most appropriate summary among the other options.
Therefore, option D is the apt answer.
124. D
Sol. ‘Harp on the same tune’ refers to ‘keep on repeating the same thing’.
125. B
Sol. ‘Gall and warmwood’ refers to something hateful which cause strong feelings of bitterness and
resentment.
126. C
Sol. ‘In the bad books’ - Having fallen out of favour with someone.
127. C
Sol. 'Fell off' makes the sentence grammatically correct as it means something falling out of something else.
128. D
Sol. The correction here is to omit the preposition 'of' from the boldened part; it is not required there and its presence
gives incoherent meaning to the statement.
129. B
Sol. In this sentence, a situation is being discussed in which the players go to other places to play matches for which they
have to travel. Roaming is for casual purposes so travel is a more suitable word here. Rest all the options have
subject verb disagreement.
130. B
Sol. The correct usage is “longer” as the sentence contains the word “than” representing a comparison between the time
taken to return a product to the online store and a local shop. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
131. C
Sol. The first sentence has to be D as it talks about the beginning of the competition. Option A is the next
statement at it connects with A and mentions the ending schedule, thus creating a timeline in which the
other statements will occur. B is obviously the last statement as it is the only one which is related to
statement 6. Thus the correct sequence is DACB.
132. B
Sol. D follows 1 as ‘the problem’ mentioned in D is stated in sentence 1. B is directly related to D as it explains
the problem in more details. Next in the sequence should be C as ‘the casual explanation’ is a continuity
of statement B. ‘Yet’ of A sums up to the author’s comments leading to 6.
Thus the correct order is DBCA.
133. A
www.gradeup.co
Sol. S has the name of the event, so it is clear that S is an introductory statement. P provides more information about it, so
SP is a pair. Q and R both talk about “causes”, so QR is also a pair. All these conditions are fulfilled in option A;
hence, option A is the correct answer.
134. B
Sol. Q introduces the term “SBM” and S gives us more information about it, so QS is a pair. R mentions a problem and
“this” in P refers to it so it can be concluded that RP is also a pair. All these conditions are fulfilled in option B;
hence, option B is the correct answer.
135. B
Sol. Option B has the incorrectly spelt word and its correct spelling is "auspices" which means with the protection or
