UNIT TEST- 1
CLASS: XII SUB: English M.M. 40 TIME: 90 Minutes
SECTION A (READING)
Q.1: Read the passage carefully:
Wholesale price inflation moderated to a five- month low in July on the back of easing food and
commodity prices, providing some relief from stubborn price pressures but stayed in double digits for
the 16th month in a row.
Data released by the commerce and industry ministry on Tuesday showed inflation, as measured by
the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), rose an annual 13.9% in July, lower than the 15.2% in the previous
month. The inflation rate was at 11.6% in July, 2021. Inflation in July, 2022 is primarily contributed
by rise in prices of mineral oils, food articles, crude petroleum and natural gas, basic metals,
electricity, chemicals and chemical products, and food products as compared to the corresponding
month of the previous year, according to the official statement. The May 2022 inflation number was
revised to 16.6% from the earlier 15.9%.
The data showed food inflation dipping to single digit in July while core inflation (minus food and
fuel) slowed to 8.4%--a 16 month low. Vegetable prices cooled amid fresh supplies with tomato prices
falling sharply. Potato prices remained stubborn, rising 53.5%. inflation in fruit rose 29.4%. edible oil
prices, which had soared due to supply constraints, have cooled sharply as government measures to
rein in prices helped. Fears of a global slowdown have softened commodity prices, which is having a
cooling impact on domestic prices.
Last week, data showed retail inflation moderated to a five-month low in July on the back off easing
of food prices, bring much needed relief for policymakers battling price pressures. But the overall
number still remained above the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) upper tolerance level for the seventh
consecutive month. The central bank has raised interests rates sharply to tame price pressures.
Globally, inflation has emerged as a major policy challenge, which has prompted central banks to
sharply hike interest rates to rein in prices.
“The correction in global commodity prices is expected to translate rapidly into lower WPI inflation.
We expect the WPI inflation to ease to 12-13% in August 2022 and average at 13% in Quarter 2 of FY
2023, lower than the 15.7% seen in Quarter 1 of FY 2023. We see a likelihood of the first single digit
WPI inflation print by October 2022, after a gap of 18 months, if the downtrend in commodity prices
sustains,” ratings agency ICRA said in a note.

8. What will be the effect if the decrease in commodity prices continues? (2)
