EXPLANATION
The phrase 'even if the lockdowns lift' provides the
hintthat
even if the virus retreats or subsides. All the other options are
out of context. Therefore, option (d) recedes best because it's
blank.
47.
B
According to the second paragraph, the pandemic has affected
women the most by making them lose their jobs and forcing
them to stay home. Therefore, option (b) is the most
appropriate answer.
The central theme of the passage is that many women are

rendered jobless and tied down to their respective homes
compelling them to shoulder household responsibilities and
care for other members of their families because the pandemic
has disproportionately hurt woman-dominated service
industries. Hence, option (c) is the answer. Options (a) and (b)
are true but neither of them can be the central theme of the
passage. Option (d) is false.
49
C
The passage says that the pandemic has disproportionately hurt
women dominated service industries, making them the majority
the newly unemployed. So, option (c) is least consistent with
of
the author's reasoning in the passage. Options (a), (b) and (d)
are consistent with the author's reasoning in the passage.
50.
B
The last sentence of the given passage talks about women
making up the majority of the newly unemployed as womandominated service industries have been disproportionately hurt
by the economic recession, prompted by the pandemic. Only
option (b) can further this sentence as it provides data in
support of the sentence. Hence, option (b) is the logical
corollary to the last sentence of the given passage
51.
Author is clearly against blatantly blaming farmers and wants
to provide them with alternative solutions before putting
sanctions. So (a) is incorrect. Similarly the state of thermal
power plants needs immediate attention and hence (b) is
incorrect. Author cites the example of how Beijing reduced

Option (a) is out the scope of the text. Option (b)
desirable is too vague and doesn't talk about implementation.

Option (c) is completely opposite to what the author suggests.
Option (d) is correct as it is action based and targets specific
sources of pollution.

A
The whole text is related to the inability of Delhi and other
Indian cities which is why 14 Indian cities are in the list of
most polluted. The author cites the example of Beijing to draw
comparisons and hence assumes the causes of pollution are the
same. He also mentions farmers need financial incentives, not
blame games. This takes options (b), (C) and (d) out to
contention and hence (a) is the correct choice.
54
Options (b) and (d) clearly support the author's argument.
Option (a) introduces a new cause of pollution unknown to the
author but doesn't weaken the argument that a sustained effort
is needed to tackle air pollution. Option (c) shows that financial
incentives may not necessarily work to stop stubble burning.
Hence, (c) is the correct choice.
55.
D
Options (a), (b) and (C) provide partial conclusions and thus are
out of scope. While option (d) gives us a full picture. This can
also be inferred from the last line ofthe given text. Thus,
option (d) is right.

A
The author suggests that When we do not allow a river to flow
and instead build big dams on it; when we do not let a forest
remain in its natural habitat playing its economice and
ecological role; when we build roads against all signs of
Himalayan fragility with dynamiting and "dig and throw'"
method, the land, forests and rivers start behaving abnormally.
The passage says that the huge displacement of soil, silt, and
stones in the river floor compels the raging river to behave
differently.
58.
The authors do not want any alteration in the natural behaviour
of the rivers or forests. Hence option a and b cannot be logical

The judge is urging to recourse the pattern without any
transitional effect. It is evident from the above passage that the
judge while assessing lacuna in the current pattern to its
equivalent LSAT, while the latter has done away with the
question pattern that was inaccessible to the disabled. In doing
so, it did able to add a new version to the existing pattern while
keeping the core part of the exam unaffected. Hence option A
does not clearly lay down the methodology but establishes an
argumentative analysis .Option C could partially be an adjunct
to the new pattern but remains as an idea in itself. Option D
doesn't reflect the authors views as it becomes a fact in itself

and options A,C and D has either facilities or equal treatment
but not both Hence they are false
