Directions (71-80): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. Some
words have been highlighted to aid in answering the questions.
Single-use plastics are goods that are made primarily from fossil fuel–based chemicals (petrochemicals)
and are meant to be disposed of right after use—often, in mere minutes. Many companies have touted their
products by packaging them in attractive single use plastic. Single-use plastics are most commonly used for
packaging and service ware, such as bottles, wrappers and bags. These single-use plastics impact
environment adversely. Instead of investing in quality goods that will last, we often _____________convenience
over durability and consideration of long-term impacts. Our reliance on these plastics means we are
accumulating waste at a staggering rate. We produce 300 million tons of plastic each year worldwide. That’s
nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population.
Plastics are actually valuable waste materials as they contain carbon and hydrogen and have a similar
energy content to fuels such as diesel. However, rather than focusing solely on the potential to generate
fuel from this waste plastic, Scientists have unveiled a technology to recover other higher-value
materials. This is where cold plasma pyrolysis came in. Pyrolysis is a method of thermal decomposition in
an environment with limited oxygen at temperatures between 400-650°C. The process can be used to
generate electricity and fuels, but when cold plasma is added to the equation it can convert waste plastics
into hydrogen, methane and ethylene. Hydrogen and methane can be used as clean fuels as they produce
minimal amounts of soot and carbon dioxide, while ethylene is the building block of most plastics. Instead
of wasting plastics, cold plasma pyrolysis can recover valuable materials, which can be used to produce
other plastic products in turn. While it can take hundreds of years for certain plastics to completely
degrade, cold plasma pyrolysis offers a quick alternative.

Q71. What is/are the characteristic(s) of single use plastic?


(a) This kind of plastic is flexible and can be molded in any shape
(b) It is mainly made up of fossil fuel-based chemicals
(c) This kind of plastic isn’t meant to be reused or recycled
(d) It takes only a few days to get decomposed
(e) Only (b) and (c)

Q72. As per the passage, what is the effect of our reliance on single use plastic?
(a) Plastic pollution is upsetting earth’s food chain by jeopardizing marine lives
(b) Soil has been contaminated the most by plastic waste and its fertility is declining
(c) Plastic equals to the weight of the entire human race is being produced annually.
(d) Many millions of dollars are wasted each year to decompose single-use plastic.
(e) None of these
14 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App
Q73. Why is plastic considered as a valuable waste material in the passage?
(a) As plastic waste is used to make helium which is used in fuel tanks
(b) As recycling plastic waste is the most convenient and low-cost process among all the other
nondegradable things.
(c) Because like any other energy content to fuels, it has carbon and hydrogen.
(d) All of these
(e) None of these

Q74. For which specific purpose cold plasma is used in pyrolysis method?
(a) For tin coating on plastic utensils to avoid corrosion
(b) To produce electricity and fuels from plastic waste
(c) To turn plastic waste into hydrogen, methane and ethylene
(d) For making plastic a more flexible and synthetic material
(e) Both (b) and (c)

Q75. How cold plasma pyrolysis helps in addressing the plastic waste challenges?
(a) Using the cold plasma pyrolysis method, plastic is converted to silicon and rubber.
(b) With the cold plasma pyrolysis method, plastic is recycled into the new plastic product.
(c) Abundant plastic waste is decomposed instantly with cold plasma pyrolysis
(d) It is the technology that shreds plastic waste which is otherwise dumped in landfills

Let, Total work = 120 (L.C.M of 20 and 120)
33 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App
So, efficiency of women = 120/20 = 6units/day
And efficiency of child = 120/120 = 1unit/day
Work done by 5 women and 10 children in 1 day = 5×6 +10×1=30+10 = 40units

S71. Ans.(e)
Sol. Statement (b) and statement (c) are correct with reference to the first paragraph which mentions,
“Single-use plastics are goods that are made primarily from fossil fuel–based chemicals (petrochemicals)
and are meant to be disposed of right after use—often, in mere minutes.”

S72. Ans.(c)
Sol. Refer to the last lines of first paragraph which mention, “Our reliance on these plastics means we are
accumulating waste at a staggering rate. We produce 300 million tons of plastic each year worldwide. That’s
nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population.”

S73. Ans.(c)
Sol. Refer to the second paragraph which mentions, “Plastics are actually valuable waste materials as
they contain carbon and hydrogen and have a similar energy content to fuels such as diesel.”

S74. Ans.(c)
Sol. The correct choice can be inferred from the second paragraph which mentions, “Pyrolysis is a method
of thermal decomposition in an environment with limited oxygen at temperatures between 400-650°C. The
process can be used to generate electricity and fuels, but when cold plasma is added to the equation it can
convert waste plastics into hydrogen, methane and ethylene.”

S75. Ans.(b)
Sol. The correct choice can be inferred from the second paragraph which mentions, “Instead of wasting
plastics, cold plasma pyrolysis can recover valuable materials, which can be used to produce other plastic
products in turn. While it can take hundreds of years for certain plastics to completely degrade, cold plasma
pyrolysis offers a quick alternative.”
39 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App
S76. Ans.(a)
Sol. Only option (a) is correct.
For option (a), refer to the second paragraph, which mentions, “Hydrogen and methane can be used as clean
fuels as they produce minimal amounts of soot and carbon dioxide, while ethylene is the building block of
most plastics.”
For option (b), refer to the first paragraph, which mentions, “Many companies have touted their products
by packaging them in attractive single use plastic.”
For option (c), refer to the first paragraph, which mentions, “Single-use plastics are goods that are made
primarily from fossil fuel–based chemicals (petrochemicals) and are meant to be disposed of right after
use—often, in mere minutes.”
For option (d), refer to the second paragraph, which mentions, “Pyrolysis is a method of thermal
decomposition in an environment with limited oxygen at temperatures between 400-650°C.”

S77. Ans.(d)
Sol. The correct word for the blank is ‘prioritize’.
terminate means bring to an end.
constrain means compel or force (someone) to follow a particular course of action.
renounce means formally declare one's abandonment of (a claim, right, or possession).
prioritize means designate or treat (something) as being very or most important.

S78. Ans.(b)
Sol. ‘Endorsed’ is a synonym of ‘touted’.

palliated means make (a disease or its symptoms) less severe without removing the cause.
endorsed means recommend (a product) in an advertisement.
denied means state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of.
bothered means concerned about something.

S79. Ans.(c)
Sol. ‘Evade’ is an antonym of ‘impact’

foment means instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action).
evade means escape or avoid (someone or something), especially by guile or trickery.
prompt means cause or bring about (an action or feeling).

S81. Ans.(d)
Sol. The order of the sentences which forms the most meaningful narrative is BDCEA.
The first sentence in the final order would be sentence (B) as it gives the best introduction for the narrative,
establishing the foundation by introducing the subject of discussion, mangrove trees. Looking further into
the passage allows the reader to establish what the text is about – the basic characteristics of the mangrove
trees and how these characteristics in their natural habitat help avoid many disasters. Thus, next is the
order is sentence (D) which gives the most basic characteristics of the tree, mentioning its habitat further,
continuing from sentence (B). Sentences (C) and (E) describe even more characteristics of the tree,
specifically the roots. The first of these sentences should be sentence (C) as (E) seems to be a continuation
of it. The final and the only remaining sentence, (A), gives the most appropriate summary of the text as it
states the benefits of these characteristics of the mangrove tree to the environment. Thus, the correct order
of the sentences after rearrangement is BDCEA.

S82. Ans.(e)
Sol. The order of the sentences which forms the most meaningful narrative is BDCEA.
The first sentence in the final order would be sentence (B) as it gives the best introduction for the narrative,
establishing the foundation by introducing the subject of discussion, mangrove trees. Looking further into
the passage allows the reader to establish what the text is about – the basic characteristics of the mangrove
trees and how these characteristics in their natural habitat help avoid many disasters. Thus, next is the
order is sentence (D) which gives the most basic characteristics of the tree, mentioning its habitat further,
continuing from sentence (B). Sentences (C) and (E) describe even more characteristics of the tree,
specifically the roots. The first of these sentences should be sentence (C) as (E) seems to be a continuation
of it. The final and the only remaining sentence, (A), gives the most appropriate summary of the text as it

Sol. focus – to cause to be concentrated
indicate – to point out or point to
reduce – to draw together or cause to converge
maintain – to affirm in or as if in argument
mediate – occupying a middle position
The context of the sentence in question hints at the issues developing countries state they face with climate
finances, as can be understood from the starting lines of the passage and the entirety of the passage giving
a voice to these issues. To correlate the issue to developing countries as an argument or opinion, only the
verb “maintain” can be used, as is apparent from the given definitions.

S87. Ans.(e)
Sol. attach – to bring (oneself) into an association
remain – to be a part not destroyed, taken, or used up
examine – to inspect closely
challenge – to dispute especially as being unjust, invalid, or outmoded
view – regard in a particular light or with a particular attitude

finances, as can be understood from the starting lines of the passage and the entirety of the passage giving
a voice to these issues. To correlate the issue to developing countries as an argument or opinion, only the
verb “view” can be used, as is apparent from the given definitions.

S88. Ans.(b)
Sol. concern – to be about
address – to deal with
delay – the act of postponing, hindering, or causing something to occur more slowly than normal
suggest – to mention or imply as a possibility
discover – to make known or visible
The only word that fills the blank appropriately is “address” as it connects the effect of aid from climate
finances to the needs of developing countries.

S89. Ans.(b)
Sol. bustling – full of lively activity; busily astir
skewed – distorted from a true value or symmetrical form
abundant – existing or occurring in large amounts
42 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App
defiant – full of or showing a disposition to challenge, resist, or fight
descriptive – presenting observations about the characteristics of someone or something
The only two adverbs that are appropriate for describing climate finance are thus “skewed” and “abundant”,
but the context requires a negative adverb as it states the problems with climate finances and the “already”
existing flaws in it, and thus, “skewed” is the correct word.

S90. Ans.(c)
Sol. distinct – presenting a clear unmistakable impression
quick – fast in development or occurrence
unlikely – not likely
probable – likely to be or become true or real
receptive – able or inclined to receive
The entirety of the second paragraph states the improbability of privately financed entities being successful
especially in regard to adaptation. The last statement, thus, can only mention the limitation of private
climate finances, acting as an extension of the previous statements and a conclusion to the passage by
nature anyway. Thus, the only word that can fill the blank appropriately is the word “unlikely”.

S91. Ans.(a)
Sol. Only option (a) is correct. In option (b), ‘painting’ should replace ‘paint’ as we need an object. In
grammar, we use the word 'object' to talk about the thing or person that the verb is done to, or who receives
the verb. It can be a noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun. Thus the required form should be noun(painting),
rather than verb(paint). In (c), ‘seems’ should replace ‘seem’ as after third person singular form we use -s
with the main verb (ex- sleeps, eats). In (d), ‘unwilling’ must be change to ‘unwillingly’ as the required form
is adverb here. It is modifying verb, thus adverb is needed.

S92. Ans.(d)
Sol. The correct option is (d). In (a), an adverb(commercially) is needed as it is modifying a
adjective(viable). In (b), ‘erased’ should replace ‘erase’. The sentence is passive voice of present perfect
tense. When we have to talk about an object or give importance to an object in our conversation then those
sentences which contain ‘has/have +been+V3’ are used. In (c), ‘at’ must be replaced with ‘from’ ‘far from’
phrase’s meaning is tending to the opposite of what is expected.

S93. Ans.(a)
Sol. Only statement (a) is correct. In (b), gifts should be used instead of gift as ‘babies’ is plural here. In (c),
‘kept’ should be replaced with ‘keep’, as after ‘to’ base form of the verb is used. In (d), ‘did’ is wrong usage
and must be replaced with ‘do’ because the sentence is in simple present tense.

S94. Ans.(d)
Sol. The correct option is (d). In (a), the phrase "instead of" is not necessary and is incorrect in this context.
The correct construction is to use "instead" alone to indicate an alternative action or choice. In (b), ‘distant’
is the correct usage instead of ‘distance’ as the required form is adjective(distant), not noun(distance). In
(c), ‘was’ should be used instead of ‘were’ because of the singular word(sight).

S95. Ans.(c)
Sol. The correct option is (c). In (a), ‘it’ should be replaced with ‘them’, as it is referring ‘villages’ which is
plural. In (b), ‘saw’ must be changed to ‘see’ as after model verb (could/would/should), verb’s first form is
used. In (d), ‘explain’ must be changed to ‘explains’ as ‘she’ is singular here, thus need singular
verb(explains).

S96. Ans.(c)
Sol. ‘Devise’ means plan or invent (a complex procedure, system, or
mechanism) by careful thought. Thus, only option (c) is correct.

S97. Ans.(d)
Sol. ‘Erupt means break out suddenly and dramatically. Thus, only
option (d) is correct.

S98. Ans.(a)
Sol. ‘lightening’ means make or become more cheerful or less serious.
Thus, only option (a) is correct.

S99. Ans.(d)
Sol. Here the usage of ‘great’ is wrong and it should be replaced with ‘grate’. ‘Grate’ means
the recess of a fireplace or furnace.

S100. Ans.(d)
Sol. ‘alike’ should replace ‘like’. The need is adjective(alike) here, whereas ‘like’ is preposition.
