The richer States have a responsibility to cut down carbon emissions and promote clean energy investments. These are the States that got electricity, grew faster and now have high per capita income, making them capable of sharing India's burden of becoming eco- friendly. Delhi, for example, can help by generating its own clean electricity using solar rooftop panels or even help poor States finance their clean energy projects. It is no secret that State Electricity Boards, which control 9. These losses further discourage State utilities from adopting renewable energy as it is more expensive than fossil fuels. Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage?(a) The richer States must lead in the production and adoption of renewable energy. (b) The poor States always have to depend on rich States for electricity. (c) The State Electricity Boards can improve their finances by undertaking clean energy projects. (d) The high economic disparity between the rich and poor States is the major cause of high carbon emissions in India. Answer. a. Passage - 2.

Answer. a*Passage – 4. Our municipal corporation are understaffed. The issue of skills and competencies of the staff poses an even greater challenge. Urban service delivery and infrastructure are complex to plan and execute. They require a high degree of specialization and professionalism. The current framework within which municipal employees, including senior management, are recruited does not adequately factor In the technical and managerial competencies required. Cadre and recruitment rules only specify the bare minimum in academic qualifications. There is no mention of managerial or technical competencies, or of relevant work experience. This is the case with most municipal corporations. They also suffer from weak organisation design and structure. 4. Which among the following in the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage?(a) The task of providing urban servicing is a complex issue which requires the organizational expansion of municipal bodies all over the country,(b) Our cities can provide better quality of life if our local government bodies have adequate staff with required skills and competencies.(c) Lack of skilled staff is due to the absence of institutions which offer the requisite skills in city management.(d) Our country is not taking advantage of the demographic dividend to manage the problems associated with rapid urbanization.

Answer. c. Passage – 6. Vast numbers of Indian citizens without bank accounts live in rural areas, are financially and functionally illiterate, and have little experience with technology. A research study was conducted in a particular area in which electronic wage payments in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) are meant to go directly to the poor. It was observed that recipients often assume that the village leader needs to mediate the process, as was the case under the previous paper- based system. Among households under this research study area who claimed to have at least one bank account, over a third reported still receiving MGNREGS wages in cash directly from a village leader. What is the most logical, rational and crucial message that is implied in the above passage? (a) MGNREGS should be extended only to those who have a bank account. (b) The paper- based system of payments is more efficient than electronic payment in the present scenario. (c) The goal of electronic wage payments was not to eliminate mediation by village leaders. (d) It is essential to provide financial literacy to the rural poor. Answer. d. Passage - 7. Individuals, groups and leaders who promote human development operate under strong institutional, structural and political constraints that affect policy options. But experience suggests broad principles for shaping an appropriate agenda for human development. One important finding from several decades of human development experience is that focusing exclusively on economic growth is problematic. While we have good knowledge about how to advance health and education, the causes of growth are much less certain and growth is often elusive. Further, an unbalanced emphasis on growth is often associated with negative environmental consequences and adverse distributional effects. The experience of China, with its impressive growth record, reflects these broader concerns and underlines the importance of balanced approaches that emphasize investments in the non- income aspects of human development. With reference to till' above passage, consider the following statements: 1. In developing countries, a strong institutional framework is the only requirement for human development and policy options. Human development and economic growth are not always positively inter- related. 3. Focusing only on human development should be the goal of economic growth.

Higher economic growth is essential to ensure reduction in economic disparity. 2. Environmental degradation is sometimes a consequence of economic growth. Which of the above assumption/assumptions?(a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Answer. If A runs less fast than B, and B runs as fast but not faster than C; then, as compared to A, C runs(a) slower than A (b) faster than A (c) with same speed as A (d) Given data isnot sufficient to determine Answer. Each of A., B, C and D has Rs 1. A pays Rs 2. 0 to B, who pays Rs 1. C, who gets Rs 3. D. In this context, which one of the following statements is not correct?(a) C is the richest (b) D is the poorest.(c) C has more than what A and D have together. (d) B is richer than DAnswer.

(c) They meet for the first time after each has travelled 4 km. (d)They go on without ever meeting again. Answer. b. 14. In a 5. History Questions They Refuse To Answer In School : Waking Times. Gregg Prescott, M. S., In. 5D Guest. Waking Times. Traditional educational systems basically teach us that the history of man only dates back to about 8,0. It is more than obvious that there a massive push to occlude our true history and origins. While you may not agree with some of the questions, please try to view them with an open mind. As you’ll see, the history we have been taught has been manipulated and obscured from us. Ask yourself (or others) the following questions and feel free to comment at the end of the article! A map drawn on a gazelle skin of an unfrozen Antarctica was found in 1. The map was drawn in 1. Piri Reis, who had privileged access to the Imperial Library of Constantinople. Contained within the notes found on the map, Reis stated that he compiled and copied the data from a large number of source maps, some of which dated back to the 4 BC or earlier. Our history books tell us that Antarctica was discovered by Captain James Cook while crossing the Antarctic Circle on January 1. HMS Resolution and Adventure. How did Reis know of Antarctica several hundred years before Captain James Cook ‘discovered’ it? The last time Antarctica was not frozen was at least 4,0. BC, so…2. Where did the Imperial Library of Constantinople get THEIR information and who is responsible for the initial drawing of that map? A tiny figurine made of baked- clay (right) was brought up in amongst the debris churned out by a huge drill bit during the drilling of a well in Nampa Idaho in 1. The object is a one inch long figure with one leg broken off at the knee. Is it possible that mankind has been here many times LONG BEFORE our recorded past? 4. How many millennia would it take for an object like this to be buried 3. According to Darwinism, man evolved from ape. If man evolved from ape, then why are there still apes? There are pyramids on every continent of the world. Who built them and why were they built? In Ecuador, one large Jade cup and 1. Jade cups were found. Each of the smaller cups are a little bit different in size, but if you were to fill each one and pour them into the larger one, the contents would exactly fill the larger cup. The large cup has a perfect inlaid star constellation, showing. Orion and other stars. Klaus Dona stated, “inside the big cup it is very, very magnetic and outside the cup nearly nothing. Professional geologists are saying this is impossible because if a stone has metal particles inside the stone, it must be same magnetic from both sides.”7. If scientists say that it is impossible to have a very magnetic inside of a jade cup with a non- magnetic outside of the same cup, then who created these vessels and where are they from? In Illoinois a well bit brought up a 2. Chillicothe, Illinois. According to the Illinois State Geological Survey, the deposits containing the coin are between 2. Long before our state- sponsored recorded history will admit that civilized man was on Earth, what culture made this coin? More than 3. 50 artifacts were found in Ecuador in an old tunnel system. One artifact in particular shows the same pyramid with an all- seeing eye at the top of it (right). Under a black light, the eye takes on an interesting hue while on the bottom of this artifact (see picture below), you can see a star map of Orion’s Belt along with writing that is older than any known writing on this planet. According to the research of Klaus Dona, the same writing has been found all over the world, proving that there was a pre- existing GLOBAL civilization that is much older than any Sanskrit writings. Why do all history classes exclude this information? We are seeing a continuing theme involving Orion’s Belt. The pyramids on the Giza Plateau also reflect the exact same alignment as the “3 Kings” of Orion’s Belt. What visitors came to this planet from Orion’s Belt? What is the significance of the Orion’s Belt constellation? Professor Kurt Schildmann, former President of the German Linguistic Association, called this writing “pre- Sanskit” (older than 6,0. The son of the creator comes.”1. What is the true meaning of this pyramid and why is this symbol still being used? In the pre- religious Anunnaki creation myth, Anu had 2 sons, Enki and Enlil. Enki, also known as Ea (as in. EArth) in Sumerian texts, was loving and kind to the genetically modified humans who mined gold for the Anunnaki. Does “The son of the creator comes” refer to Enki? The Old and New Testament of the Christian bible clearly shows one vengeful god who kills millions of people while an apparently different god who is all loving. Does the bible reflect the story of Enlil (Old Testament, malevolent towards humans) and Enki (New Testament, all- loving toward humans)? In the Old Testament, Genesis 1: 2. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”1. Who is “us” and “our”? In 1. 85. 1 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, a 4- 1/2 inch high zinc and silver alloy vase was dynamited out of solid rock 1. On the sides were figures of flowers in bouquet arrangements, inlaid with pure silver. The rock out of which it came is estimated to be 1. According to academia, what civilization was capable of this type of art 1. Over 2. 00 metallic spheres have been found in South Africa and are estimated to be 4,5. There are two types of spheres: “one of solid bluish metal with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy center” (Jimison, 1. Our recorded history tells us that civilized man has only been here anywhere between 6- 8,0. With the exception of stone and precious metals, virtually everything we own right now would eventually turn to dirt throughout the millennia, including all of our TV’s, cellphones, cars, planes and everything made of plastic. If by chance, some major catastrophe were to hit our planet, within 1. Is it possible that there are malevolent rulers who have kept us in economic subservience for literally hundreds of thousands of years, if not millions of years? All religions seem to share similar stories. Is it possible that this template has been used since the earliest incarnations came to this planet, perhaps billions of years ago? 2. When will we finally learn to live without being economic slaves to the same system of domination and control? YOU to answer: Why has our true history been hidden from us? What is the purpose of suppressing such information? How many times have civilizations come and gone from this planet? Leave your comments below!
