A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
It ____ raining since morning when you rang me up.
Explanation: Solution: 'Had been' is similar to 'have been' and 'has been', except that it identifies actions that both began and ended in the past. It is used in the past perfect and past perfect progressive tenses. Where 'have been' and 'has been' suggest a past point in time that remains open and unfinished, 'had been' indicates something that is closed and completed.

A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
My book is different ____ yours.
Explanation: There are three common prepositions or conjunctions used with 'different': from, than, and to. 'Than' is used in comparisons as a conjunction (as in ‘she is younger than I am’) and as a preposition (‘he is taller than me’). 'From' is the correct answer as we need to use a preposition after 'different'.

Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below. <br><br> As the 23rd conference of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn shifts into high gear, developing countries including India are focussing on the imperatives of ensuring adequate financing for mitigation and adaptation. They are moving ahead with specific instruments for loss and damage they suffer due to destructive climate-linked events. India’s progress in reducing the intensity of its greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 20-25% from 2005 levels by 2020, based on the commitment made in Copenhagen in 2009, has been positive. Early studies also suggest that it is on track to achieve the national pledge under the 2015 Paris Agreement for a 33-35% cut in emissions intensity per unit of growth from the same base year by 2030, and thus heed the 2°C warming goal. Since this performance is predicated on a growth rate of just over 7%, and the parallel target for 40% share of renewable energy by that year, the national road map is clear. What is not, however, is the impact of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods that would have a bearing on economic growth. It is in this context that the rich countries must give up their rigid approach towards the demands of low and middle income countries, and come to an early resolution on the question of financing of mitigation, adaptation and compensation. Of course, India could further raise its ambition in the use of green technologies and emissions cuts, which would give it the mantle of global climate leadership. <br><br> The climate question presents a leapfrog era for India’s development paradigm. Already, the country has chalked out an ambitious policy on renewable energy, hoping to generate 175 gigawatts of power from green sources by 2022. This has to be resolutely pursued, breaking down the barriers to wider adoption of rooftop solar energy at every level and implementing net metering systems for all categories of consumers. At the Bonn conference, a new Transport Decarbonisation Alliance has been declared. It is aimed at achieving a shift to sustainable fuels, getting cities to commit to eco-friendly mobility and delivering more walkable communities, all of which will improve the quality of urban life. This presents a good template for India, building on its existing plans to introduce electric mobility through buses first, and cars by 2030. Such measures will have a beneficial effect not just on transport choices, but on public health through pollution abatement. <br><br> To understand the elements of the policy and regulatory environment, we first identify the characteristics of 5G. Unlike earlier generations that provided for ever higher speeds and more bandwidth, 5G also promises ultra-reliable, very fast speeds and high bandwidth mobile connectivity and supports massive interconnected devices spread across wide areas. 5G provides peak speeds of 20 times, compared with 4G, such as that required in virtual reality applications. It is also designed to provide latency at 10 times lower than 4G. Low latency is required in applications dealing with critical emergency health care, autonomous vehicles or disaster management. <br><br> Since 5G roll-outs are likely even before 4G is extensively deployed, the adopted road map for 5G should ensure that the existing and near-future investments in 4G can be leveraged. One suggested approach has been that since operators are likely to deploy 5G in bands that they are currently using for 4G, policy should facilitate this by making spectrum usage an agnostic service. The role of wired infrastructure, especially fibre optic cables, is critical and complementary to growth of wireless. This is because very large capacities are required in the backhaul to cater to applications enabled through 5G. This would entail accelerating the Bharat Net Programme for deploying fibre optic cables to gram panchayats and increasing the involvement of the private sector to exploit complementarities and efficiencies of the private sector.
What does the author wants to convey by saying that- ‘The country has chalked out an ambitious policy on renewable energy.’ <br><br> I. The country has planned a policy on renewable energy. <br><br> II. The country is emphasizing on renewable energy. <br><br> III. The country has shifted it’s focus from renewable energy to electric mobility.
Explanation: Refer to: <br><br> Already, the country has chalked out an ambitious policy on renewable energy, hoping to generate 175 gigawatts of power from green sources by 2022. <br><br> If the country has hoped to generate power through renewable energy then there is no point to shift focus from it. Thus statement III is absurd. <br><br> The phrase ‘chalked out’ means to outline or to plan. <br><br> This makes statement II wrong as it is about focusing only and not shaping that focus. In this scenario, statement I gives the correct connotation as it implies that the country has planned to do so. <br><br> Thus statement I is true only. <br><br> Hence option C is correct.

Which of the following ensure(s) India to be a leader of global climate change campaign? <br><br> I. Use of green technologies. <br><br> II. Initiatives for deteriorating emissions. <br><br> III. Faster economic growth rate.
Explanation: Refer to: <br><br> Of course, India could further raise its ambition in the use of green technologies and emissions cuts, which would give it the mantle of global climate leadership. <br><br> With the underlined text it is clear that statements I and II are the only factors that contribute India to be a global leader. <br><br> Statement III is not mentioned in the passage in context of ensuring India as a global leader of climate change. <br><br> Hence option D is correct.

Which of the following is true in the context of passage? <br><br> I. India has achieved a 33-35% cut in emissions intensity per unit of growth. <br><br> II. The transport carbonization alliance will improve quality of life. <br><br> III. India is focusing on importance of ensuring adequate financing.
Explanation: Refer to: <br><br> Early studies also suggest that it is on track to achieve the national pledge under the 2015 Paris<br><br> Agreement for a 33-35% cut in emissions intensity per unit of growth from the same base year by 2030,.. <br><br> This shows that India is to achieve 33-35% cut in emissions intensity by 2030. It has not achieved yet. <br><br> Thus statement I is false. <br><br> Refer to: <br><br> ..Transport Decarbonisation Alliance has been declared. It is aimed at achieving a shift to sustainable fuels, getting cities to commit to eco-friendly mobility and delivering more walkable communities, all of which will improve the quality of urban life. <br><br> It is clear from the above underlined text that it’s Transport Decarbonisation Alliance. <br><br> Thus statement II is false. <br><br> Refer to: <br><br> .. developing countries including India are focussing on the imperatives of ensuring adequate financing for mitigation and adaptation. <br><br> Thus statement III is true. <br><br> Since only statement III is true. <br><br> Hence option B is correct.

What is/are the factor(s) affecting economic growth of the country as per the passage?
Explanation: Refer to: <br><br> What is not, however, is the impact of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods that would have a bearing on economic growth. <br><br> With the underlined text it is clear that Weather condition is the only factor that could affect economic growth of a country. <br><br> Policy framework is not mentioned anywhere in the passage.
