    Directions For Questions

    Read the following passage and answer the question which follows.

    Even though globalization is one of the most discussed topics in the contemporary world. It is not altogether a well-defined concept. A multitude of global interactions is put under the broad heading of globalization, varying from the expansion of cultural and scientific influences across borders to the enlargement of economic and business relations throughout the world. A wholesale rejection of globalization would not only go against global business, but it would also cut out movements of ideas, understanding, and knowledge that can help all the people of the world, including the most disadvantaged members of the world population. A comprehensive rejection of globalization can thus be powerfully counterproductive. There is a strong need to separate out the different questions that appear merged together in the rhetoric of the antiglobalization protests. The globalization of knowledge deserves a particularly high profile recognition, despite all the good things that can be rightly said about the importance of "Local knowledge".

    Globalization is often seen, both in journalistic discussions and in remarkably many academic writings, as a process of westernization. Indeed, some who take an upbeat view of the phenomenon even see it as a contribution of Western civilization to the world.

    • Sentence P further tells us about how the situation is at present. It will be put in second place.
    • Sentence S is in continuation (mentions the reason behind the present situation) of the previous sentence. Hence it will be the 3rd sentence.
    • The last sentence is R as it mentions the conclusion (the degree of the effect of the virus).
