Directions (Qs 16 to 25): Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Awong the natural resources which can be called upon in nationai plans for development, possibly the most important is human labour. Since the English language suffers from a cerrtain weakness in its ability to describe as composed of both male and female members, this is usually described as ‘manpower’.
Without a productive labour force, including effective leadership and intelligent middle management, no amount of foreign assistance or of natural wealth can ensure successful development and modernization.
The manpower for development during the next quarter-century will come from the world's present population of infants, children and adolescents. But we are not sure that they will be equal to the task.. Will they have the health, the education. the skills the socio-cultural
attitudes essential for the responsibilities of developrrent"?
For far too many of them the answer is no. The reason is basic. A child's most critical years, with regard to physicai, intellectual,
social and emotional development, are before he reaches five years of age. Curing those critical formative years he is cared for almost
exclusively by his mother, and in many parts of the world the mother may not have-the capacity to raise a superior child. She is incapable of doing so by reason ;:f her own poor health, her ignorance and her lack of status and recognitvon of social and legal rights, of
economi:; parity of independence.One essential factor has been overlooked or ignored. The forgotten factor is the role of
women. Development will be handicapped as long as women remain second-class citizens, uneducated, without any voice in family or
community decisions, without legal or economic status, married when they are still practica'iy children, and henceforth producing
one baby after another, often only to see half of them die before they are school age.



Directions (Qs 22 to 25): Read the passage carefully and answer these questions:

Many of the underdeveloped countries will promote the growth of their economies in One way or another no matter whether they receive
substantial outside aid in the process or not. The character of that development, however is likely to be strongly influenced by the tji^d
amounts of aid available. The outcome ~s muc~ more likely to be favourable, from the stancr-o nt of the objectives for succ~-ssful (level r) ,- rr,- -t set up previously, if there is subst?ntia'
international aid than if there is not.By substantial aid I mean not only large amounts of technical assistance but also of
capital. Initially, the capacity of an underdeveloped country to use capital productively may be surprisingly small-limited
by lack of organisation, trained personnel, and other social obstacles. At this stage technical assistance is its main need from outside, with
comparatively small amounts of capital, much of which may have to be in the fonrin of grants for non-self-liquidating pro;ects in education,
health, access roads to rural areas, and the like. !f, at this stage, substantial capital avallable from outside to supplement vrdhat can be formed internally (and to stimulate internal capital formation, for it does that too) the rate of economic growth can be considerably
increased, and the strains and frustrations and political risks of the development process are likely to be considerably less.
It is possible for underdeveloped economies to modernise themselves with very little capital from outside. Japan's imports of
capital were small. though some of it came at crucial times. The r_ontribut;on of foreign direct investment to ihP ad~an,ement of technical know-how, also was greate~r than would be
indicated merely by the s 71-- of investment. The Soviet Union industrialise economy with practically no aid from f`r'y, v il,~;estment capital except for the '
_ , -owned installations confiscated after the revolution,
though it imported machinery in the early days on short-term or intermediate-term credits and hired services of foreign experts.
Boany of the both Japan and Russia achieved their development in an authoritarian political and social framework. The outcome
in both cases, from standpoint of the peace of the world and democratic ideals, was highly unfavourable.In the absence of outside aid, the only way :c accumulate capital is to increase production :vithout taking much of the benefit in more consumption, or even while pushing
consumption standards down. Where the people are already near the subsistence level this may mean extreme hardship. Somehow the people must be motivated to change their accustomed ways quickly, to work hard, and to forego present consumption so that capital investment can be made.

22. The passage says:
Without foreign aid to under-developed
country can grow;
(2) Underdeveloped countries must refrain
from seeking foreign aid;
The economies of underdeveloped
countries are more likely to grow faster with
substantial foreign aid than without;
(4) Underdeveloped countries are
economically backward because their
governments have not got their priorities
right.
23. Substantial aid in this context means:
(1) technical assistance in the form of trained
personnel;
(2) capital, in the form of bank loans and
overdrafts;
(3) large amount of technical assistance and
capital
(4) a cheap and plentiful supply of labour.


24. The availability of substantial capital from
outside:
(1) can help to stimulate internal capital
formation;
(2) does encourage wasteful tendencies;
(3) seldom helps to accelerate the rate of
internal growth;
(4) tends to discourage local capital
formation.

explains how to minimise those
mistakes

25. The passage says that:
(1) Japan imported substantial capital
before it became modernised;
(2) the Soviet Union industrialized its
economy with plenty of foreign
investment capital;
Japan rejected offers of substantial
foreign capital investment in the early
stages of its economic development;
(4) In the early days of the economic
development the Soviet Union imported
machinery on short-term or
intermediate-term credits and hired
foreign experts.
