Countries find it easier to get rich once their neighbours already are. East Asia’s growth pattern has for
decades been likened to a skein of geese, from Japan at the vanguard to_(23)__(safegaurd) such as
Myanmar at the rear. The same pattern can often be seen within big countries. Over the past decade, for
example, China’s poorer provinces have grown faster than their wealthier _(24)__(management). India is
different. Far from converging, its states are getting ever more unequal. A recent shake-up in the tax
system might even make matters worse.
Bar a few Mumbai penthouses and Bangalore startup offices, all parts of India are relatively poor by
global standards. Taken together, its 1.3bn people make up roughly the third and fourth decile of the
world’s population, with an income per person (adjusted for purchasing power) of $6,600 dollars. But that
average conceals a vast gap. In Kerala, a southern state, the average resident has an annual income per
person of $9,300, higher than Ukraine, and near the global median. With just $2,000 or so, an Indian in
Bihar, a landlocked state of 120m people, is closer to a citizen of Mali or Chad, in the bottom
_(25)__(decent) globally.
The gap has been widening. In 1990, point out Praveen Chakravarty and Vivek Dehejia of the IDFC
Institute, a think-tank, India’s three richest large states had incomes just 50% higher than the three poorest
—roughly the same divergence as in America or the EU today, and more equal than in China. Now the trio
is three times richer.

B) peers

C) lords

D) jury

E) No Correction Required

25.

B) mercantile

C) percentage

D) decile

E) No Correction Required

Directions (26 - 30): Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.
When we are children growing up, our imagination is the key to untold worlds. And it has been shown that
kids with very active imaginations are more likely to dream and strive for greater things as adults. It is a
sad fact that all too often, as we grow up, we are told to “get our heads out of the clouds”, to "stop
daydreaming", and that living in an imaginary world is not good for us. But stifling your imagination is the
worst thing you can do to yourself, as it will only pave the way for accelerated aging, and all too often a
life that feels unfulfilled.
Though many take creativity for granted, it is a trait not possessed by everyone. Many people are labelled
as primarily “right brained” or “left brained” (if such a thing exists): It is argued that highly intellectual,
logical types are less likely to be creative, have less wild imaginations and are typically rule followers who
do not believe in much of anything that cannot be logically quantified. Regardless of the left brain / right
brain argument, imagination unleashes creativity, allowing you to live a life filled with potential. The
creative individual does not see the sky as the limit, instead the limit is as far as he or she can imagine.
They not only think outside the box, for them there is no box, and so their brains are constantly
challenged, humming and conjuring up all sorts of goodies. Anything the mind can conjure is good enough
to become true, be it work, life, personal goals accomplishments or anything. A very good trait to cultivate
from childhood.
Empathy is the act of being truly sympathetic to another person, without ever actually experiencing what
they are going through yourself. Sadly, many people do not know how to express empathy, and the reason
for this is simple; it is not because that person is a bad individual, or mean spirited. It simply means that
individual cannot imagine the feelings of the person experiencing a particular event, and thus cannot truly
relate. Your imagination may leave you in a good position to offer a shoulder for comfort and support, as
you are able to envision going through the same thing as the person suffering, and thus able to
demonstrate what you think a person needs at that time. Being of service towards other people in that
way, promotes your own mental health and emotional well being.
Those brain connections are a part of what makes you who you are, and forming new connections
supports memory functions and keeps the brain vibrant and strong. Your imagination can be a useful tool
for strengthening these connections, in order to form long-term memories. Here are two explanations of
how memory works; an intellectual will harness and strengthen memory by repetition. Studying work day
after day enhances these connections bit by bit, or via physical practice. On the other hand, someone who
uses their imagination may know something well, and be able to recall everything without seeming to
make an effort. Take for example planning for their wedding. Years and years beforehand, that person
could have meticulously planned and imagined their dream wedding, so that when the actual time comes,
the planning step and what they want pops up like clockwork.
