English Test - 22

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

1. People, people everywhere. This is one change that you can't help noticing if you have been around for some time. The number of human beings on planet earth and in our part of the world in particular has gone up by leaps and bounds. I can't say that this is a bad thing. The loving union of man and women usually results in human offspring, and, as Tagore said, 'Every child comes with the message that God is not yet tired of man'.

2. But the earth grows tired. For hundreds of thousands of years it has been sustaining millions, now billions of humankind who, more than bird, beast, reptile or insect, have been helping themselves to the earth's resources without putting anything back. How much longer can this good earth sustain the human race? Already there is talk of mass migration to other planets. All I can say is, the sooner the better!

3. For one who loves this earth, this land, the prospect is a little depressing, even though I won't be around to see it evolve. What I do see today, in almost every town or city that I visit, are mountains of garbage, growing higher by the day, stagnating in the sun and rain, so foul that even the crows and starving dogs are staying away. A certain amount of rubbish has always been turned out into the streets, but not with the devilmay-care speed and accumulation that is apparent today.

Direction: Read the passage below and answer the questions based on your understanding of the passage:

The ‘‘who’s who’’ of universities and research institutions published by the Human Resource Development Ministry, as the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2018, should be viewed mainly as a proposition that data make it possible to assign objective credentials to some aspects of education. Its assessment of some of the top institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science, the Jawaharlal Nehru University, the IITs and the IIMs is unsurprising, given their record of research, peer-reviewed publications and outcomes for graduates.

Even among the 3,954 institutions that participated, there is a clear skew towards southern, southeastern and western India. Participation levels are inadequate: there were 40,026 colleges and 11,669 standalone institutions according to the HRD Ministry’s All India Survey on Higher Education for 2016-17.

To the faculty and students in many colleges, what matters is the vision of the administrative leaders and a commitment to excellence. The governing bodies should make available adequate financial and academic resources to colleges, particularly the younger ones, to help them improve performance. These are measured by the NIRF in terms of the percentage of faculty with doctoral degrees, papers published in credentialed journals, inclusivity and diversity of students and median salaries for the graduates.
