PROVISIONAL ANSWER KEY

Exam: KMAT2023-SESSION2
Date of Test: 02-07-2023

Question1:-Read the following passage and answer the question:

Last week, the WHO declared that the Covid-19 pandemic is no longer a global emergency. The announcement was expected. In March and April, case counts spiked in
parts of Europe and Asia, including India. But like most outbreaks last year — except the ones in China — the latest surge shone a light on the pathogen’s declining
virulence. Though the virus still kills, the global death rate has come down drastically — from 1,00,000 a week at the peak of the pandemic in January 2021 to less than
4,000 in early May. Covid infections have plunged by more than 90 per cent in the last five months and healthcare systems are no longer stressed. The possibility of a
damaging new variant emerging is also remote. However, given the past unpredictability of the virus, medical authorities worldwide cannot afford to slacken on
surveillance efforts, such as genome tracing. The focus should now be on the long-term management of infections, especially among the aged and those with weak
immune systems. Covid, the Ebola virus and coronaviruses that cause the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
triggered worrying epidemics. But the reach of these pathogens was limited compared to the SARS-Cov-2 which has taken nearly 7 million lives. When the WHO
declared Covid a pandemic in March 2020, most experts believed that humanity was in for a long haul. Scientists in several parts of the world, however, exceeded the
expectations of even the most die-hard optimist by producing vaccines in less than a year. The virus, though, continued to take a toll and exposed the healthcare deficits
of several countries, including India."

What is the most important lesson to be learnt from COVID-19 pandemic?
A:-Covid virus is laboratory made and extensive investment need to be made virus research labs safe.
B:-Robust investments need to be made in country’s healthcare systems to face these kind of pandemic.
C:-Always be prepared to face city lockdowns.
D:-Traditional medicines are highly effective against covid-19.
Question2:-Read the following passage and answer the question.

"Fears over El Nino and its adversely affecting the upcoming monsoon are clearly weighing on the Narendra Modi government’s mind, especially with national elections
less than a year away. The latest evidence is the virtual ban on sugar exports. For the 2022-23 sugar year (October-September), only up to 6.1 million tonnes (mt) of
exports were allowed, as against the record 11 mt shipped out in 2021-22. Mills have already dispatched the entire 6.1 mt, but the government has seemingly decided not
to increase the cap. This is despite overall comfortable domestic supplies. The 32.5 mt estimated production for 2022-23 is below the previous year’s all-time-high of 35.9
mt. However, it is way higher than the projected domestic consumption of 27.5 mt. And with opening stocks of 7.1 mt, besides hardly any inflation in sugar, there’s
enough leeway to permit additional exports. The extreme precaution with sugar is nowhere comparable to last year’s outright export ban on wheat, which was a response
to a failed domestic crop and depleted government stocks. In sugar, there is no such shortage. It’s just that the government doesn’t want to take any chances in the event
of the monsoon turning out bad. But even these worries should not extend to sugarcane, which is largely an irrigated crop. It only points to one thing — a government that
will do whatever it takes to control food inflation. The coming months leading up to elections may see more proactive “supply-side” interventions. This is already
happening in pulses, where the government has made it mandatory for traders, millers and importers to disclose their stocks. It has also not ruled out clamping stock-
holding limits “if the markets do not behave”.

An outright export ban of sugar is currently _______
A:-Needed to reduce food inflation.
B:-Not needed as there is not much demand from global markets.
C:-Not needed as there is no supply crunch in the domestic market
D:-Needed to increase domestic consumption.
Question3:-Read the following passage and answer the question:

There are many things which we think essential in a liberal education, whole chapters of history which we teach in our schools and universities that cannot for one
moment compare with the chapter relating to India, if only properly understood and freely interpreted. In our time, when the study of history threatens to become almost
an impossibility—such is the mass of details which historians collect in archives and pour out before us in monographs—it seems to me more than ever the duty of the
true historian to find out the real proportion of things, to arrange his materials according to the strictest rules of artistic perspective, and to keep completely out of sight all
that may be rightly ignored by us in our own passage across the historical stage of the world. It is this power of discovering what is really important that distinguishes the
true historian from the mere chronicler, in whose eyes everything is important, particularly if he has discovered it himself. I think it was Frederick the Great who, when
sighing for a true historian of his reign, complained bitterly that those who wrote the history of Prussia never forgot to describe the buttons on his uniform. And it is
probably of such historical works that Carlyle was thinking when he said that he had waded through them all, but that nothing should ever induce him to hand even their
names and titles down to posterity. And yet how much is there even in Carlyle's histories that might safely be consigned to oblivion! Why do we want to know history?
Why does history form a recognized part of our liberal education? Simply because all of us, and every one of us, ought to know how we have come to be what we are, so
that each generation need not start again from the same point and toil over the same ground, but, profiting by the experience of those who came before, may advance
toward higher points and nobler aims. As a child when growing up might ask his father or grandfather who had built the house they lived in, or who had cleared the field
that yielded them their food, we ask the historian whence we came, and how we came into possession of what we call our own. History may tell us afterward many useful
and amusing things, gossip, such as a child might like to hear from his mother or grandmother; but what history has to teach us before all and everything, is our own
antecedents, our own ancestors, our own descent. Now our principal intellectual ancestors are, no doubt, the Jews, the Greeks, the Romans, and the Saxons, and we,
here in Europe, should not call a man educated or enlightened who was ignorant of the debt which he owes to his intellectual ancestors in Palestine, Greece, Rome, and
Germany. The whole past history of the world would be darkness to him, and not knowing what those who came before him had done for him, he would probably care
little to do anything for those who are to come after him. Life would be to him a chain of sand, while it ought to be a kind of electric chain that makes our hearts tremble
and vibrate with the most ancient thoughts of the past, as well as with the most distant hopes of the future.

According the above passage, which of the following statement is not correct.
A:-Historians pick only really important events than a chronicler do.
B:-Ignoring one’s history leads him not to care for those who will come after him.
C:-History as a subject is redundant in the liberal education.
D:-All of the above.
Question4:-Read the following passage and answer the question.

The Socialists of India following their fellows in Europe are seeking to apply the economic interpretation of history to the facts of India. They propound that man is an
economic creature, that his activities and aspirations are bound by economic facts, that property is the only source of power. They, therefore, preach that political and
social reforms are but gigantic illusions and that economic reform by equalization of property must have precedence over every other kind of reform. One may join issue
on every one of these premises on which rests the Socialists' case for economic reform having priority over every other kind of reform. One may contend that economic
motive is not the only motive by which man is actuated. That economic power is the only kind of power no student of human society can accept. That the social status of
an individual by itself often becomes a source of power and authority is made clear by the sway which the Mahatmas have held over the common man. Why do
millionaires in India obey penniless Sadhus and Fakirs? Why do millions of paupers in India sell their trifling trinkets which constitute their only wealth and go to Benares
and Mecca? That, religion is the source of power is illustrated by the history of India where the priest holds a sway over the common man often greater than the
magistrate and where everything, even such things as strikes and elections, so easily take a religious turn and can so easily be given a religious twist.

The author’s main point is…………………
A:-Property is the source of power.
B:-Politics is the source of power.
C:-Economic status is the source of power.
D:-Social status is the source of power.
Question5:-Read the following passage and answer the question.

Whatever be the actual state of the skill, dexterity, and judgment, with which labour is applied in any nation, the abundance or scantiness of its annual supply must
depend, during the continuance of that state, upon the proportion between the number of those who are annually employed in useful labour, and that of those who are
not so employed. The number of useful and productive labourers, it will hereafter appear, is everywhere in proportion to the quantity of capital stock which is employed in
setting them to work, and to the particular way in which it is so employed. The second book, therefore, treats of the nature of capital stock, of the manner in which it is
gradually accumulated, and of the different quantities of labour which it puts into motion, according to the different ways in which it is employed. Nations tolerably well
advanced as to skill, dexterity, and judgment, in the application of labour, have followed very different plans in the general conduct or direction of it; and those plans have
not all been equally favourable to the greatness of its produce. The policy of some nations has given extraordinary encouragement to the industry of the country; that of
others to the industry of towns. Scarce any nation has dealt equally and impartially with every sort of industry. Since the down-fall of the Roman empire, the policy of
Europe has been more favourable to arts, manufactures, and commerce, the industry of towns, than to agriculture, the Industry of the country.

According to the above passage, which one of the following statements is correct?
A:-Labour supply depends on the capital stock
B:-Capital depends on the skilled labour
C:-Labour and capital are negatively correlated
D:-No dependency between labour and capital
Question6:-Read the following passage and answer the question.

There is in every society or neighbourhood an ordinary or average rate, both of wages and profit, in every different employment of labour and stock. This rate is naturally
regulated, as I shall shew hereafter, partly by the general circumstances of the society, their riches or poverty, their advancing, stationary, or declining condition, and
partly by the particular nature of each employment. There is likewise in every society or neighbourhood an ordinary or average rate of rent, which is regulated, too, as I
shall show hereafter, partly by the general circumstances of the society or neighbourhood in which the land is situated, and partly by the natural or improved fertility of the
land. These ordinary or average rates may be called the natural rates of wages, profit and rent, at the time and place in which they commonly prevail. When the price of
any commodity is neither more nor less than what is sufficient to pay the rent of the land, the wages of the labour, and the profits of the stock employed in raising,
preparing, and bringing it to market, according to their natural rates, the commodity is then sold for what may be called its natural price.

According to the above passage, the price of the commodity depends on…….
A:-Rent
B:-Wages
C:-Profits
D:-All the three
Question7:-Read the following passage and answer the question

A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more, otherwise it
would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation. Mr Cantillon seems, upon this account, to
suppose that the lowest species of common labourers must everywhere earn at least double their own maintenance, in order that, one with another, they may be enabled
to bring up two children; the labour of the wife, on account of her necessary attendance on the children, being supposed no more than sufficient to provide for herself: But
one half the children born, it is computed, die before the age of manhood. The poorest labourers, therefore, according to this account, must, one with another, attempt to
rear at least four children, in order that two may have an equal chance of living to that age. But the necessary maintenance of four children, it is supposed, may be nearly
equal to that of one man. The labour of an able-bodied slave, the same author adds, is computed to be worth double his maintenance; and that of the meanest labourer,
he thinks, cannot be worth less than that of an able-bodied slave. Thus far at least seems certain, that, in order to bring up a family, the labour of the husband and wife
together must, even in the lowest species of common labour, be able to earn something more than what is precisely necessary for their own maintenance; but in what
proportion, whether in that above-mentioned, or many other, I shall not take upon me to determine.

According to the passage, for a successful family,………….
A:-Labour of husband and wife, both are important to work
B:-Husband should work more than wife
C:-Its necessary to have four children
D:-None of the above
Question8:-Read the following passage and answer the question

The real recompence of labour, the real quantity of the necessaries and conveniencies of life which it can procure to the labourer, has, during the course of the present
century, increased perhaps in a still greater proportion than its money price. Not only grain has become somewhat cheaper, but many other things, from which the
industrious poor derive an agreeable and wholesome variety of food, have become a great deal cheaper. Potatoes, for example, do not at present, through the greater
part of the kingdom, cost half the price which they used to do thirty or forty years ago. The same thing may be said of turnips, carrots, cabbages; things which were
formerly never raised but by the spade, but which are now commonly raised by the plough. All sort of garden stuff, too, has become cheaper. The greater part of the
apples, and even of the onions, consumed in Great Britain, were, in the last century, imported from Flanders. The great improvements in the coarser manufactories of
both linen and woollen cloth furnish the labourers with cheaper and better clothing; and those in the manufactories of the coarser metals, with cheaper and better
instruments of trade, as well as with many agreeable and convenient pieces of household furniture. Soap, salt, candles, leather, and fermented liquors, have, indeed,
become a good deal dearer, chiefly from the taxes which have been laid upon them. The quantity of these, however, which the labouring poor are under any necessity of
consuming, is so very small, that the increase in their price does not compensate the diminution in that of so many other things. The common complaint, that luxury
extends itself even to the lowest ranks of the people, and that the labouring poor will not now be contented with the same food, clothing, and lodging, which satisfied
them in former times, may convince us that it is not the money price of labour only, but its real recompence, which has augmented.

C:-Potato
D:-Salt

Question48:-Read the following passage and answer the question:

When you send a rocket into space, you run into a paradox: Around 90% of the weight of the rocket is the fuel that it needs to lift away from Earth. As the rocket
accelerates, three things happen: The speed increases, the rocket gets farther away from Earth (and from the gravitational pull of the planet) and as the fuel burns off,
the rocket weighs less and so can accelerate faster. Electric car batteries add significant weight to the vehicle, making them heavier and less efficient.We face a similar
problem in the world of EVs, with an obvious exception. Technically, car batteries get heavier as they are charged, but the difference is so small that you couldn’t
measure it even with the most precise car scale. However, that doesn’t matter, because when you add more batteries to a car, it must always carry all those batteries.
That’s a problem that’s growing bigger as cars themselves get bigger and heavier. A 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit only had 90 horsepower, but its average fuel economy was
34 miles per gallon. The 2009 version of that car had almost twice the horsepower and all sorts of technology advantages, but its average fuel consumption is a paltry
24.6 miles per gallon. Sure, the engines got more efficient and it has a bunch of new comfort features. It’s safer, too, but it weighs almost 1,000 lbs more. The battery
pack on a Tesla Model 3 weighs more than 450 kg (1,000 lbs). The Rivian truck’s battery weighs 800 kg (1,755 lbs). And if you buy an EV Hummer, the battery you’re
dragging around weighs more than a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit at 1,300 kg (2,800 lbs).

According to the passage, one of the problems faced in the world of electric vehicles (EVs) is that....

A:-Electric car batteries add significant weight to the vehicle, making them heavier and less efficient.
B:-The weight of electric car batteries does not remain constant which impacts the overall performance of the vehicle.
C:-The advancements in technology have made electric cars more powerful and fuel-efficient, despite the increased weight of the batteries.
D:-The fuel economy of electric cars has improved significantly over the years, compensating for the added weight of the batteries.
Question49:-Read the following passage and answer the question:

Massive wildfires raging in eastern Canada are sending huge plumes of smoke across the border, blanketing thousands of square miles in the Northeastern U.S. and
Upper Midwest, and casting a haze over skies from Wisconsin and Minnesota to New York. Hundreds of out of control fires are currently burning in Quebec, while
authorities have managed to contain two wildfires burning in Nova Scotia. All that smoke isn’t a mere nuisance—it’s a legitimate health hazard, with the widespread
plumes prompting air quality alerts from state health agencies. Air quality standards typically don’t distinguish risks based on the source of the PM2.5. But there’s
worrying evidence that PM2.5 from wildfires may be more dangerous than other varieties of pollution. That evidence comes from preliminary studies on mice show that it
may have to do with the chemical properties of wildfire smoke that cause more inflammation and toxic buildup in the lungs. None of that is likely to provide much comfort
to the millions of people affected by smoke from the recent Canadian wildfires. The best advice, though, is to be aware of the risks and check for updates and guidance
from local health authorities about how to best protect the health of family and loved ones. If local officials say it’s best to stay indoors, make sure to keep doors and
windows closed to help keep pollution from getting inside. Home air purifiers can also help. And if you have to go outside, wearing an N95 mask can be a good option to
protect yourself.

Question: According to the passage, why is PM2.5 from wildfires potentially more hazardous compared to other types of pollution?
A:-Wildfire smoke contains higher levels of oxygen, which leads to increased health risks.
B:-The chemical properties of wildfire smoke cause more inflammation and toxic buildup in the lungs.
C:-Local authority warnings on protecting health are not followed by public.
D:-Containing wildfires is difficult, which makes it a legitimate health hazard.
Question50:-Look at the part with bold font of the sentence. Below the sentence are given some possible substitutions for the italicized part. If one of them is better than
the part in bold font, indicate your response against the corresponding letter. If none of these substitutions improve the sentence, indicate ‘No improvement’ as your
response.

world, especially after the pandemic, which pushed up activity in the startup world significantly, is over. According to one estimate, compared to last year, funding for

decision based on the merits of the case, as presented by the lawyers. In the inquisitorial system of law, on the other hand, judges are more pro-active in adjudicating the
matter. Rather than acting as neutral judges, they have rights to inquire and probe into the matter, much like a police. Here the role of lawyers representing the party and
the role of judge cumulatively becomes important in determining the manner in which a civil case or criminal trial proceeds.
