Directions (Q. Nos. 73-74) Study the given information carefully to answer the given questions.

Although overall health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids is well agreed upon, there still exist some differences in views regarding their major components- FPA and DKA. Dietary consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is one of the best studied interactions between food and brain evolutions. DKS is most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in cell membranes in the brain. However, unlike the other nutrients, the human body in not efficient at synthesizing DKA,

So, we are largely dependent on dietary DKA. Animal studies non-human primates, also show that DKA-depleted diets have resulted in impaired learning and memory, and that re-treating DKA containing diets reverses there Impairments. A growing number of similar studies are showing a strong correlations between the intake of omega-3 acids (especially DKA) and cognitive function, visual acuity and overall mental development.

73. Which of the following facts will contradict any part of the given information?

(a)  LMA is a component of omega-3 fatty acids that cannot be consumed through maternal diet but can only be synthesized by body in pre-natal period.

(b)  Studies on monkeys show that 85% of these monkeys displayed normal memory despite having 24% lower DKA than the average required level.

(c)  A low species of fish are innately high in DKA content and the not need to depend upon external dietary supplements.

(d)  People living in western countries, who are believed to be highest consumers of omega-2, reportedly have exceptionally good memory, problem solving skills and less mental disorders.

(e)  Doctors of many countries prefer to give high doses of omega-3 tablets to the patients with weaker vision.

Directions (Q. Nos. 108-115) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given. Certain words/phrases  have  been given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

The need for regulation to protect the environment gets widespread but grudging acceptance : widespread because everyone wants a liveable planet, grudging because of lingering belief that environmental regulations erode competitiveness. The prevailing view that there is an inherent and fixed trade-off : ecology versus the economy. On one side of the trade off are the social benefits that arise from strict environmental standards. On the other hand are industry’s private costs for prevention and cleanup-costs that lead to higher prices and reduced competitiveness.

With the argument framed this way, progress on environmental quality has  become a kind of arm-wrestling match. One side pushes for tougher standards; the other tries to roll them back: The balance of power shifts one way or the other depending on the prevailing political winds.

This static view of environmental regulation, in which everything except regulation is held constant, is incorrect. If technology, ,products, processes, and customer needs were all fixed, the conclusion that regulation must raise costs would be inevitable. But companies operate in the real world of dynamic competition, not in the static world of much economic theory. They are constantly finding innovative solutions to pressures of all sorts-from competitors, customers, and regulators. Properly designed environmental standards can trigger innovations allow companies to use a range of inputs more productively-from raw materials to energy to labour-thus offsetting the costs of improving environmental impact and ending the stalemate. Ultimately, this enhanced resource productivity makes companies more competitive, not less.

Consider how the Dutch flower industry has responded to its environmental problems. Intense cultivation of flowers in small areas was contaminating the soil and groundwater with pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Facing increasingly strict regulation on the release of chemicals, the Dutch understood that the only effective way to address the problem would be to develop a closed-loop system. In advanced Dutch greenhouses, flowers now grow in water and rock wool, not in soil. This lowers the risk of infestation, reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides, which are delivered in water that circulates and is reused. The tightly monitored closed-loop system also reduces variation in growing conditions, thus improving product quality. Handling costs have gone down because the flowers are cultivated on specially designed platforms. In addressing the environmental problem, then, the Dutch have innovated the ways that have raised the  productivity with which they use in many of the resources involved in the growing flowers. The net result is not only dramatically lowers costs, better product quality, and enhanced global competitiveness.

This example illustrates why the debate about the relationship between competitiveness and the environment has been framed incorrectly. Policy makers, business leaders, and environmentalists have focused on the static cost impacts of environmental regulation and have ignored the m ore important offsetting productivity benefits from innovation.

As a result, they have acted too often in ways that unnecessarily drive up costs and slow down progress on environmental issues. This static mind-set has thus created a self-fulfilling prophecy leading to even more costly environmental regulation. Regulators tend to set regulations in ways that deter innovation.

Companies, in turn, oppose and delay regulations instead of innovating to address them. The whole process has spawned an industry of litigators and consultants that drains resources away from real solutions.

Work smarter, not harder : It is one of the most irritating things a book can tell you. But at the macroeconomic level, it is important that growth can come from having more labour (recruiting more workers, or making existing employees work for longer hours), more capital, or from using that labour and capital more effectively-something  known as total factor productivity (TFP).

Directions (Q. Nos. 127-133) Read the following passage and answer the given questions Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The death of Harambe- the western lowland gorilla shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo after a three-year-old boy fell into his enclosure-ignited a fierce debate. Some critics seized the tragedy as an opportunity to advance an uncompromising anti-captivity narrative in which all zoos and aquariums are inherently unethical and cruel. To be sure, there are bad actors. The spawning of so-called ‘roadside zoos’ –an exploitative enterprise known for its systematic negligence and abuse of animals-are some of the most egregious cases-in-point. But responsible zoos and aquariums exist to facilitate and promote the conservation of animals. And the need for intensive conservation campaigns is now more urgent then ever before : Our world is currently in the midst of the ‘Sixth Extinction,’ a term coined by Elizabeth Kolbert in her Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name.

Unlike the five preceding die-offs, which were precipitated natural events-such as those that killed of the dinosaurs, exterminating three-quarters of all species on the planet-the current mass extinction is a result of human activities encroaching on wild spaces. Today’s zoos and aquariums are uniquely positioned to combat those evolving threats. Using robust and sophisticated breeding programs, these institutions fund and facilitate countless initiatives to propagate species and preserve genetic biodiversity, and then reintroduce critically endangered or extinct species into the wild. Consider the Arabian Oryx, a striking breed of antelope from the Arabian Peninsulal.

The species was hunted to extinctions in the wild nearly four decades ago. The Phoenix Zoo helped to lead the ensuing breeding and reintroduction programs which ultimately birthed more than 200 calves from just nine individuals. Now between Oman and Jordan there are about 1,000 Arabian Oryx living in the wild. The Arabian Oryx-which has since been removed from the endangered species list-isn’t alone. Breeding programs at zoos and aquariums have since saved numerous other species from extinction, including the European bison, the red wolf, and the Oregon spotted frog.

Even when animals are never introduced into the wild, placing them under human care can still improve the lives of their wild counterparts. Modern zoos and aquariums serve as bases for observation and research, which then helps to protect wild animals. One compelling example in the study of animal infection and disease, currently the subject of numerous ongoing research projects at zoos worldwide.

The zoological society of London,, for instance, is developing innovative methods to assess the risks of animals contracting disease when they’re reintroduced into the wild. Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington is leading global research efforts on the detection and treatment efforts on the detection and treatment of the sometimes-fatal elephant herpes virus, with the ultimate goal of developing an effective vaccine to be administered to the species in both zoo and wild populations.

Ofcourse, the positive contributions of zoos and aquariums conserving wild animals cannot-and should not-outweigh the health and well-being of the animals living under the care of these institutions.

The American Humane Association is thus launching a global initiative to elevate the welfare standards of zoos and aquariums worldwide. The Human conservation program will be the first third-party certification devoted solely to verifying that animals living in these institutions are healthy, positively social, active, safe, and living with proper light, sound, air, and heat levels. These standards will be set not by zoos but instead an independent collection of world-renowned experts in the fields of animal science, behaviour, and ethics-a sharp departure from most existing accreditation programs, which are vulnerable to accusations of conflicts of interest and leniency. To some detractors, the humane certification of zoos and aquariums in an oxymoron. But vast empirical and academic research discredits this black-and-white view. Animals in zoos and aquariums today can live longer, healthier, and richer lives than their forbearers ever did in the wild. Go see for yourself.
