Mix Test - 9

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

India is currently working to add to its existing “right to work” scheme by concentrating on rural areas. How it is doing this is by starting the scheme known as the “right to food”. There is also a plan to possibly provide direct money to people who receive welfare into bank accounts that are held in the person’s name. This is to be done by using biometrics in a unique identify scheme. The new food scheme is planned to provide two thirds of India’s population the right or access to "cheap food”. This is just a part of a growing trend, especially since India already extends the right to education, health and paid work. However, the reality in India is not as rosy as what it promises. It is just as difficult to get a handout from the government as it is to land a job. As it stands one fifth of all adults and almost half of the number of children younger than 5 years suffer from malnourishment. The culprits for this are the local officials who set up bogus companies. These companies take payment from the government for the subsidized price of the food that is intended to feed the poor and then sell it off to private companies at market prices.

One of the wise things Putraka did as a  king was to make friends with his Brahman subjects. Brahmans are fond of travelling, and Putraka thought, if he were good to them, they would talk about him wherever they went. Perhaps through them his father and uncles would hear about him. If they knew he was now a king ruling over their native land, they would want to come back. He gave the Brahmans money, and told them to find his father and uncles. If they did, they were to say how anxious he was to see them, and promise them everything they wanted, if they would return.

Wherever the Brahmans went they talked about the young king. Putraka's father and uncles heard the stories and asked questions. The answers made them eager to see Putraka, but they did not realize that he was related to them. Only when they heard the name of his mother did they guess the truth. Putraka's father knew that when he had deserted his wife, his wife was with a child and how wicked this was. However, he forgot all about that, thinking how he could make as much use as possible of his son the king. He wanted to go back at once and his uncles agreed. They meant to get all they could out of Putraka. The three selfish men, now quite old, set off together.

They arrived, making their way to the palace, where they were received, with great rejoicing. None of the wives, said a word of reproach and as for Putraka, he was so overjoyed at having his father back, that he gave him a beautiful house to live in and a great deal of money. He was very good to his uncles too, and felt that he had now really nothing left to wish for.
