Direction (101-105): Read the following passage and answer the questions below

In an increasingly interconnected world, the question of digital privacy has become a pressing
issue. While technological advancements have brought about numerous benefits in terms of
communication, commerce, and entertainment, they have also raised significant concerns
about the security of personal data. The digital age, characterised by the proliferation of
social media platforms, online banking, and smart devices, has given rise to unprecedented
amounts of data being collected on individuals without their explicit consent.

While some argue that the collection of this data is necessary for improving services and
targeting advertisements, others believe it infringes on fundamental privacy rights. A growing
movement advocates for stronger privacy regulations, calling for greater transparency in how
companies handle personal data and more control for individuals over their information.
However, striking a balance between innovation and privacy remains a contentious issue.

The tension between convenience and security is also apparent in the increasing reliance on
biometric data—fingerprints, facial recognition, and retinal scans—to secure personal devices
and online accounts. While such measures provide enhanced security, they also raise
questions about surveillance and the potential misuse of personal identifiers. Some fear that
this trend may eventually lead to a “Big Brother” scenario, where governments and
corporations have access to private data on an unprecedented scale.

As we navigate the complexities of the digital age, it is clear that ongoing debates,
technological innovations, and the evolving demands of society will shape the future of
digital privacy. The challenge lies in finding a balance that safeguards personal freedoms
while allowing technological progress to thrive.

Direction (106-110): Read the following passage and answer the questions below

The concept of sustainable development has evolved considerably over the last few decades,
transitioning from a primarily environmental focus to an integrated approach that includes
economic, social, and cultural dimensions. Initially, discussions surrounding sustainability
were centred on the conservation of natural resources, biodiversity, and the protection of
ecosystems. However, the growing realisation that economic growth cannot be sustained
without considering social and cultural implications led to the development of a more
comprehensive framework for sustainability.

Page 23

At the core of this modern approach is the idea that human well-being must be the ultimate
goal of development. Rather than focusing solely on economic indicators such as Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), sustainability now incorporates indicators related to health,
education, equality, and overall quality of life. In this regard, sustainable development
involves ensuring that economic growth does not come at the expense of social equity or
environmental preservation.

One of the key challenges of sustainable development is the need for intergenerational equity,
meaning that the actions we take today must not compromise the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs. This concept places a moral responsibility on current societies to
balance immediate economic growth with long-term environmental stewardship and social
welfare. While technological innovations and policy interventions can play a significant role
in facilitating sustainable development, the underlying principle remains that sustainability is
not solely about managing resources efficiently, but also about fostering a more equitable and
just society for all.

The global shift towards sustainability is not without its challenges, particularly in balancing
the needs of developed and developing nations. While wealthier countries have the resources
and infrastructure to implement sustainability initiatives, poorer nations often face significant
barriers, such as lack of access to technology, financial constraints, and socio-political
instability. Despite these challenges, the recognition of sustainability as a global priority has
led to cooperative efforts among nations, aiming to address these issues through frameworks
such as the Paris Agreement on climate change.

106. What has been the primary shift in the concept of sustainable development over recent
decades?

(A) It has moved from a focus on economic growth to environmental protection
(B) It has evolved from an environmental focus to a broader approach
(C) It has focused primarily on economic growth without considering the
environment
(D) It has shifted from technological innovation to social well-being

107. What does sustainable development now focus on, apart from economic growth?

(A) Economic growth at the cost of environmental preservation
(B) Technological innovations to boost GDP
(C) Human well-being, reflected in health, education, equality, and quality of life
(D) Promoting only environmental conservation through strict policies

108. Which of the following is true about intergenerational equity as discussed in the
passage?

(A) It refers to the idea of economic growth being prioritized over environmental
concerns
(B) It focuses on the right of future generations to have equal access to

Page 24

technological innovations
(C) It suggests that economic resources should be distributed equally across all
nations
(D) It stresses that today’s actions must not hinder future generations’ needs

109. Which of the following is cited as a major obstacle for developing nations in
achieving sustainability?

(A) Overreliance on technological innovations
(B) Limited tech access, financial issues, and instability
(C) Excessive resources and infrastructure for sustainability initiatives
(D) The absence of global cooperation on climate change

110. What is the role of the Paris Agreement in relation to sustainable development?

(A) It is a global framework to address sustainability challenges
(B) It helps to implement technological advancements for sustainability
(C) It focuses solely on economic growth and ignores environmental issues
(D) It limits the resources allocated for sustainability projects in developing nations

Direction (111-115): Read the following passage and answer the questions below

The Indian legal system, entrenched in the convoluted synthesis of colonial precedents,
customary jurisprudence, and post-independence statutory enactments, is an intricate edifice.
The Constitution of India, a monumental document of both legislative audacity and
constitutional prudence, promulgates the framework within which the judiciary is obligated to
dispense justice. Its quintessence lies in the juxtaposition of individual liberty and the
collective good, an equilibrium that is often contested within the courts, given the pluralistic
nature of Indian society.

Despite its resplendent theoretical robustness, the Indian judiciary is beset with a myriad of
exigencies that stymie the efficacious delivery of justice. The protracted delay in adjudicating
cases, the onerous procedural labyrinth, and the inadequacy of legal infrastructure are merely
the surface manifestations of endemic systemic inefficiencies. Furthermore, the pervasive
entanglement of political interests with the judicial apparatus casts a shadow over the
supposed impartiality of the courts, thereby undermining the public’s trust in legal
adjudication.

Compounding the situation is the inherent tension between statutory law and personal laws-
religiously informed frameworks of governance that circumscribe familial, marital, and
inheritance rights. This dichotomy between secular and religious legal domains often
precipitates contradictions, wherein individuals find themselves ensnared within a patchwork
of legal entitlements that are governed by disparate sets of rules. Such a state of legal
pluralism raises poignant questions about the very essence of equality before the law, for the

Page 25

very notion of universal justice is obfuscated when legal outcomes are subject to the
vicissitudes of religious affiliations.

Moreover, the rapid emergence of cybercrime and the globalisation of financial markets have
introduced new paradigms of legal transgressions, necessitating the swift adaptation of
India’s legal framework. However, the lag in legal reforms-manifested in the resistance to
recalibrate antiquated laws-further exacerbates the challenges. Technological advancements,
while promising efficiency, have introduced their own complex conundrums regarding
privacy and surveillance, engendering an ongoing debate about the extent to which the law
can regulate new-age realities without infringing upon fundamental freedoms.

111. The passage describes the Indian legal system as an ‘intricate edifice.’ Which of the
following best conveys the meaning of ‘intricate edifice’ in this context?

(A) A simple and easy-to-understand structure that is easily navigated by all
(B) A multi-layered framework based on historical, cultural, and legislative
influences
(C) A decentralised system with numerous conflicting laws that are rarely enforced
(D) A rigid and outdated system that has lost its relevance in the modern world

112. What does the phrase ‘the protracted delay in adjudicating cases’ in the passage refer
to?

(A) The rapid and efficient resolution of legal matters without hindrance
(B) The frequent success of legal cases being dismissed in a timely manner
(C) The legal system’s focus on quick decisions at the expense of thoroughness
(D) The extended periods required to resolve cases delay delivering justice

113. The term’ entanglement of political interests with the judicial apparatus’ implies:

(A) A harmonious collaboration between political leaders and the judiciary for the
public good
(B) Separation between the judiciary and political spheres, ensuring impartiality.
(C) Political influences on impartiality and integrity of the judiciary
(D) Absolute division between politics and the judiciary, with no interaction
whatsoever

114. What does the author suggest about the relationship between statutory law and
personal laws in India?

(A) The author highlights personal laws causing confusion and inconsistency
(B) The author presents personal laws and statutory laws as complementary and
harmonious with no conflicts
(C) The author views personal laws as superior to statutory laws in all legal matters
(D) The author dismisses personal laws as irrelevant, advocating for a completely
secular legal system

Page 26

115. The term’ legal pluralism’ as used in the passage most accurately refers to

(A) The dominance of secular laws over all other forms of law
(B) A legal system where different sets of laws, particularly religious and secular
laws, coexist and govern various aspects of life
(C) The uniform application of a single legal code across all jurisdictions
(D) The separation of criminal and civil laws into distinct systems with no overlap

Anisha had always been drawn to the quiet corner of her grandmother’s backyard,
where a towering oak tree cast a cool shadow over a patch of wildflowers. One day, while
exploring the overgrown bushes near the tree, she discovered a small, hidden gate she had
never noticed before. It was rusty and covered in ivy, and at first glance, it looked as though
it hadn’t been opened in years. Intrigued, Anisha pushed it open, the hinges creaking in
protest.

On the other side of the gate, she found a garden unlike any she had ever seen. Flowers of
every colour imaginable bloomed in neat rows, and the air smelled sweet and fresh.
Butterflies fluttered around, their wings shimmering in the sunlight. In the centre of the
garden was a sparkling fountain, the water glistening as it danced in the breeze.

Anisha spent hours wandering through the garden, marvelling at its beauty. As she sat beside
the fountain, she noticed something even more curious—a small stone with an inscription
carved into it. It read, “Only those who seek the quiet will find the magic.”
