Directions: Read the given passage carefully and choose the best answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

It was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that greater access to financial services will be made available to India’s poor. This is expected to affect nearly 500 million Indians who do not have access to a bank account as well as those who are at the mercy of money lenders who charge extortionary amounts of interest. While India has grown to become the third largest economy in Asia, there are still thousands of farmers who are poor that commit suicide every year because they cannot repay loans provided to them by loan sharks.

According to Modi, small farmers takes a loan from a money lender that he cannot return and ends up taking his life as a result. Furthermore, Modi says, “For his daughter’s marriage, a poor man takes a loan from a money lender that he cannot return.”

This initiative by Modi was announced during the landmark annual Prime Minister’s address that is delivered amongst the ramparts of the Red Fort, located in Old Delhi and built during the 17th century. This annual address is held each year on Indian Independence Day. During this address, Modi offered several other initiatives, but he emphasized his desire for more Indian participation in the financial sector.

His other big announcement was the doing away of the Soviet-style State Planning Commission. This is part of his focus on overhauling the system of government. He stated when he took office in May that the system of government was peppered with competing “fiefdoms”.

A flock of pigeons, led by a fine bird that had been chosen as king, came flying rapidly along, and noticed white rice, but did not see the net that hung before it because it was the same colour as the ground. Down swooped the king and all the other pigeons. Alas, their joy was short lived! They were all caught in the net and began struggling to escape, beating the air with their wings and uttering loud cries of distress.

A crow and a man behind the tree kept very quiet, watching them; the man with his stick ready to beat the poor birds to death, the crow watching out of mere curiosity. Now a very strange thing came to pass. The king of the pigeons, who had his wits about him, said to the imprisoned birds: "Take the net up in your beaks, all of you spread out your wings at once, and fly straight up into the air as quickly as possible."

In a moment all the pigeons did as they were bid; each little bird seized a separate thread of the net in his beak and up, up, up, they all flew, looking very beautiful with the sunlight gleaming on their white wings. Very soon they were out of sight; and the man, who thought he had hit upon a very clever plan, came forth from his hiding-place, very much surprised at what had happened. He stood gazing up after his vanished net for a little time, and then went away muttering to himself, whilst the wise old crow laughed at him.
