Section : English Language
Topic : Reading Comprehension
Time: 10 Minutes
D.1 – 10 ): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it.
1/4
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s much anticipated visit to Washington has come and gone.
The chemistry was positive, and the physics (that is, the structural content and equilibrium)
and the geometry (the angles and alignments along which the visit was pitched) well-
calibrated. Mr. Modi’s fifth visit to the U.S. as Prime Minister concluded on a note of
reassuring affirmation about relations between the world’s most important and largest
democracies.
President Donald Trump is a man of many moods and ‘humours’, a personification of

impulse and impetuousness. The fact that the two leaders struck a good rapport, marked
by mutual “respect and friendship”, despite the difference in their personalities, augurs
well.In Mr. Trump’s own words, he had “tremendous success” in his meeting with Mr.Modi.
Progress in bilateral relations over the last few years received the imprimatur of
endorsement of the new President, and there were no missed heartbeats or gut-wrenching
moments.
Besides claiming that both leaders were “world leaders in social media”, Mr. Trump’s Rose
Garden statement spoke of both countries working together to create jobs and grow their
economies (a foundational ideology for Mr. Trump which is not antithetical to priorities in
Mr. Modi’s India) and ensuring a trading relationship that is fair and reciprocal. Mr. Trump
announced that the U.S. will sign major contracts with India for the sale of natural gas,
although he was trying “to get the price up a little bit”.
On the security front, he expressed the joint determination of both countries to destroy
“radical Islamic terrorism” as also to enhance military cooperation, with mention of the
forthcoming ‘Malabar’ naval exercise involving the Indian, American and Japanese navies.
He had a good word for Indian efforts to help Afghanistan and for India’s joining in
sanctions against the North Korean regime — a regime that was causing “tremendous
problems” and which had to be dealt with, “and probably dealt with rapidly”. This last aside,
where Mr. Trump departed from prepared remarks, should get East Asia analysts and
experts ready with their dissection tools to understand what looked like
a clenched warning to Pyongyang.
Mr. Modi, as an astute student of human psychology, was effusive in both body language
(the three “diplohugs” directed towards what some call a “germophobic” President!) and
words of warm appreciation for the First Lady and Mr. Trump. He invited Ivanka Trump to
India, and she has accepted. His key words were “mutual trust” and “convergence” to
describe his meeting with Mr. Trump, as he referred to the “common priorities”, and the
“robust strategic partnership” that unites the two countries. He called the U.S. the “primary
partner” for India’s transformation, stressing convergence between his vision for a new
India and Mr. Trump’s vision of “making America great again”.
Striking a high note, Mr. Modi spoke of Mr. Trump’s successful experience in the business
world as lending “an aggressive and forward-looking agenda to our relations”. For his part,
he said, he would remain “a driven, determined and decisive partner” of the U.S. The two
leaders have set aside the “hesitations of history”, it would seem. Interestingly, on
Afghanistan, Mr. Modi spoke of maintaining “close consultation and communication with the
U.S. to enhance coordination between our two nations”, and terrorism in that country being
“one of our common concerns”. This space must be watched to determine the contours of
2/4
future cooperation. So too, the reference to the increasing consultations on West Asia in
the joint statement, “in accord with India’s Think West policy” flags an issue of important
ramifications, requiring more elaboration. The triangulations involving Saudi Arabia, Qatar
and Iran are extremely complex today, and common India-U.S. perspectives (apart from
eradicating Islamic radicalism) await more specific identification.

Topic : Cloze Test (Old Pattern)
Time: 10 Minutes
In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These
numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five words/phrases are
suggested one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate
word/phrase in each case:
1/6
Prime Minister Narendra Modi billed GST as a ‘good and simple tax’ that will end
harassment of small businesses. However, the reality remains quite
different. ______(1)______Stormed by experts and economists that GST will be beneficial
in the long run, small businessmen are still unclear about the nuts and bolts of the new tax
regime.
Requesting ______(2)________secret, a central excise, and customs official says that the
main problem is that there is no concept of issuing a tax invoice in tier II cities which has
now been mandated if the sale value is above Rs 200. “This is bound to create an initial
hiccup for small businesses.”
He further adds that without _______(3)_______strong IT infrastructure in these cities,

these businessmen are now ______(4)_______hexed, looking for IT skills. However, these
businesses will become more transparent in the long run, he said.
Archit Gupta, founder of Cleartax, says that they see over 50% traffic from metro cities
while tier II and III cities constitute around 46% who seek help for e-filing of tax. “Right now,
individuals are not clear about the rates and are _______(5)_______concerning about
IGST, CGST etc. Surprisingly many restaurants and others are charging GST differently.
There is a lot of confusion about the invoicing and compliance which will take time. Few are
yet to understand meanings of CGST and IGST. Many websites were down and
businesses were _______(6)________hampered so as to get clarity on the situation.”
He adds that overall it should take around 100 days for businesses to
completely _______(7)_________embrace GST. “Tier II and III cities will take longer to
implement because even though they are aware, implementation will be a major
challenge.”
Talking to ET, a Lucknow-based businessman, Mudit Kaushik, owner of Sharma

Departmental Stores who runs 3 shops across the capital city, says, “There is a lot
of _______(8)________understatement regarding the final tax rates of different products
that we sell. Many companies sell multiple products to us which will invite different tax rates
but I still have no clarity on the entire situation.”
He adds, “Many businessmen here _______(9)_________have been yet registered for

GSTN till now.”
Customers are even being given handwritten bills as shopkeepers are uncertain as what to
charge the customers. For instance, a 23-year-old student who went to visit her parents in
Bhubaneshwar waited for around 40 minutes in an In and Out store to get some household
items for which later she was not given any bill.
She says, “They even agreed to do home delivery for people who had come to buy more
than 10 items as they could not write all details on a piece of paper for every customer.”
A 59-year old manufacturer says that due to invoicing and compliance certainty, the sales
have currently been halted. “Our traders, who mostly deal in cash, are still hesitant to
confirm any deals yet.”
Dipanjan Purkayastha, founder of Kolkata-based cab service provider TYGR says that with
2/6
training and clear programs being conducted in semi-urban and rural areas, additional
charges are likely to add up for small businesses. “With everything going digital, extra
running costs will also be added for the smaller businesses.”
He adds that finding IT skills is a ______(10)______must challenge in smaller cities.
Bangalore-based retail tech startup Snapbizz Cloudtech’s founder Prem Kumar says that
current situation will likely get better in the next two months. “We are handholding smaller
retailers in terms of the changes in their system.”
