Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

Once a pristine haven tucked away in the Himalayan folds, Barot valley — often hailed as the “hidden gem” of northern India — is now struggling under the weight of unmanaged tourism and crumbling infrastructure. Overflowing with visitors yet deprived of even basic amenities, Barot today stands as a stark reminder of what unchecked tourism and administrative apathy can do to a natural paradise. Despite its natural allure, Barot suffers from acute shortages of parking facilities, garbage disposal systems, proper roadways and drinking water. Most internal roads in and around the valley are riddled with potholes and require urgent repair. Locals and tourists alike face considerable hardship due to deteriorating infrastructure.

The local residents revealed that around 80% of the land in Barot, including its roads, is owned by the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL). For the past 10 years, PSPCL has halted maintenance activities, citing financial constraints. Although the Himachal Pradesh Government is willing to carry out repairs, permission from the Punjab Government remains pending, further exacerbating the condition of the roads.The twin destinations of Barot and Multhan, located in the Himalayan foothills, are developing in a haphazard and unregulated manner. With more than 30 hotels and homestays now operating in the area, there is still no provision for scientific garbage management. Waste is being dumped directly into the Uhl and Lamba Dug rivers, leading to water pollution and environmental degradation.

What’s more alarming is that several buildings, hotels and tent camps have been set up illegally along the banks of the Uhl river, flouting environmental and safety regulations. These structures are dangerously vulnerable to flash floods, particularly during monsoon-triggered surges from the upper areas of Chhota Bhangal. Yet, authorities remain largely indifferent, raising serious concerns about disaster preparedness and ecological accountability.Despite these challenges, Barot and Multhan continue to attract hundreds of foreign and domestic trekkers annually, serving as gateways to popular trails leading to Bara Bhangal, Rajgundha, Bir Billing, Bharmour and Kullu. The Uhl and Lamba Dug rivers meander gracefully through the valley, adding to its mystical charm and offering numerous opportunities for nature lovers.

If immediate steps are not taken to regulate tourism and restore basic infrastructure, Barot valley risks losing both its ecological integrity and tourism potential — turning what was once a Himalayan jewel into a cautionary tale of mismanagement.

31. Why is Barot Valley described as a cautionary tale?

Ⓐ Because of its abundance of tourism facilities.

Ⓑ Due to unchecked tourism and lack of proper infrastructure.

Ⓓ Due to its limited natural beauty.

32. Assertion (A): Barot Valley is facing environmental degradation.

Reason (R): Waste is being dumped directly into the Uhl and Lamba Dug rivers.

Ⓓ A is false but R is true

Ⓐ has all modern facilities for tourists.

Ⓑ suffers from inadequate infrastructure and mismanagement.

(i) Barot Valley has a well-maintained parking system.

(ii) PSPCL owns about 80% of the land in Barot.

(iii) Buildings have been set up illegally along Uhl river.

(iv) Waste management in Barot is handled scientifically.

Ⓐ T, F, T, F

Ⓑ F, T, T, F

Ⓓ T, T, T, F

36. The resident said, “There is no scientific system to dispose of garbage here.” (Change the narration)

Ⓐ The resident said that there is no scientific system to dispose of garbage there.

Ⓑ The resident said that there was no scientific system to dispose of garbage there.

Ⓓ The resident says that there is no scientific system to dispose of garbage here.

37. There are no proper roads. Tourists face many difficulties. (Combine the sentences)

Ⓐ Tourists face many difficulties as there are no proper roads.

Ⓑ There are no proper roads, tourists face no issues.

Ⓓ Tourists do not face any difficulties due to roads.

38. “Most internal road in and around the valley are riddled with potholes.” (Correct the Error)

Ⓐ Most internal roads in and around the valley are riddled with potholes.

Ⓑ Most internal roads in and around valley is riddled with potholes.

Ⓓ Most internal road in the valley were riddled with potholes.

39. Choose the word closest in meaning to “allure” as used in the passage:

40. Identify the correct sequence of causes and effects related to Barot Valley’s crisis:
A. Administrative delay from Punjab Govt

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

Like the rest of India, the city of joy, too, is celebrating D Gukesh’s crowning glory as he edged past defending champion Ding Liren to emerge the world chess champion. Even though there weren’t celebratory fireworks that normally accompanies success in cricket, innumerable pockets in the city burst into jubilation.

What separates newly- crowned world champion D Gukesh from the rest? His hunger to attain perfection when at the peak of his prowess. During an interaction with TOI from Singapore on Friday, Gukesh’s trainer and second Grzegorz Gajewski revealed that just hours after winning the title, the Indian youngster talked to him about how he could have played better. The Polish Grandmaster also spoke about Gukesh’s preparation for the World Championship, his ability to stay calm, how he handled his emotions during the match and more.

Gukesh is open-minded and is willing to work and improve. He has absolutely no problems in admitting what he has done wrong. Instead of arguing, he focuses on how he can improve. Believe it or not, even yesterday (Thursday), he spoke about things that he could improve upon. That is the level of awareness he has.

Apart from being an outstanding chess player, Gukesh has the ability to remain calm and composed in critical moments. It is very easy to lose focus and commit a blunder, Gukesh knows it well. In the World Championship, he was struggling for huge parts of the match and playing below his level.

But Gukesh solved his problems and kept pushing. He had good games and bad games, but he kept pushing for two weeks. Finally, the opponent (Ding Liren) crumbled. There were all kinds of feelings; there was joy, sadness, excitement and frustration. One of the key moments was when Gukesh found his right mental state; he could not convert a couple of winning positions.

Whether Gukesh will dominate the world chess is going to be difficult to say simply because chess is so competitive these days. There are so many young players who are emerging. In classical chess, even Magnus Carlsen would find it difficult to dominate these days. Gukesh is only 18. He is very ambitious.

(Sources-TIMES OF INDIA)

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

: Online gaming bill gets LS approval:

The Lok Sabha passed a bill banning online money gaming in India, citing societal concerns, despite industry backlash over revenue and job losses. The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed legislation completely prohibiting online money gaming in India, seven minutes after the Union minister for electronics and information technology (Meity) introduced the bill. Cleared by the Union cabinet only a day earlier, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 cleared its first legislative hurdle amid criticism from people in the gaming industry, who cited thousands of crores in revenues and investments involving the sector.The government, however, believes the benefits of banning online money games outweighs the costs, a senior government official requesting anonymity said. In Lok Sabha, where the bill sailed through amid opposition parliamentarian’s protests, minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the legislation was necessary to tackle a segment of gaming that is of significant concern. “Over the last 11 years, digital technology has expanded on a massive scale, giving India a new identity. One sector closely tied to this growth is online gaming, which has three key segments,” Vaishnaw told Parliament. “The first is e-sports, an emerging field that promotes strategic thinking, teamwork, and cultural exchange. The second is online social games like solitaire, chess, and sudoku that many of us have played. The third, however, is online money games — a segment that has become a serious concern for society today.” The law bans all online money games, from fantasy sports to poker, rummy and online lotteries. Facilitators face up to three years imprisonment, fines of ₹1 crore, or both. Advertising such platforms carries penalties of two years imprisonment and fines up to ₹50 lakh. Government estimates suggest 450 million Indians play online money games, with approximately ₹20,000 crore lost annually. The industry generates ₹31,000 crore in annual revenues, has attracted ₹25,000 crore in foreign investment since June 2022, and supports around 400 startups, according to the letter floated by the industry body to Amit Shah. “Many families suffer because people in their families get addicted to online money games, and life-long savings are lost to these money games,” Vaishnaw said. The senior government official cited above added the bill was kept under wraps as it was considered too sensitive to publicise. Online gaming encompasses a broad spectrum, from casual mobile games to money-based platforms. Several states have targeted the latter, citing constitutional authority to regulate gambling. However, this approach has created legal confusion over skill versus chance games, with courts delivering conflicting rulings on platforms like rummy and fantasy cricket. At present, India has no federal regulation on online gaming. A patchwork of laws exists, with states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh banning online money gaming outright, whilst Sikkim and Nagaland require licensing for operators. Industry bodies were not consulted before Tuesday’s Cabinet approval, HT has learnt, though the government had held multiple rounds of conversations with stakeholders over the last three to four years. The All India Gaming Federation, E-Gaming Federation, and Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports have written to Home Minister Amit Shah calling the ban a “death knell” for the industry. The organisations said the sector contributes over ₹20,000 crore in annual taxes and employs more than 200,000 people, with projections to double by 2028. The government official cited above added that there was recognition the industry will be affected but said companies should look at other ways to turn their platforms towards recreational games. The bill still has a long way to go before being fully operational – it needs to next be approved by the Rajya Sabha, before rules are framed for its implementation. IT secretary S Krishnan told HT the government would hold consultations with stakeholders before drafting implementation rules. “All ministries supported the bill. The finance ministry raised concerns over payment transactions, and the Financial Intelligence Unit will keep a close watch on them,” he added. Critics argued the ban abandons a more measured regulatory approach and would benefit offshore operators while harming compliant domestic companies. The legislation effectively scraps proposed amendments to IT Rules 2023 that would have created a system where self-regulatory bodies vetted online real-money games and provided consumer complaint channels. “The IT Rules amendment was a proportionate framework that adequately addressed consumer welfare concerns and would have created a way to signal to consumers which platforms can be trusted and which cannot. Most importantly, it gave them an opportunity for recourse,” said Megha Bal, director at Esya Centre, a tech policy think tank. “The government has, in one fell swoop, wiped out companies that were onshore and willing to comply with a regulatory framework,” Bal added.

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

A recent study has revealed a significant and widespread decline in India’s bird species, underscoring the urgent need for targeted and sustained conservation efforts.

The State of India’s Birds 2023 report, produced by a consortium of leading research institutions and conservation organisations, assesses the status of 942 bird species using data contributed by thousands of birdwatchers through the eBird citizen science platform. This report represents one of the largest biodiversity monitoring efforts in the Global South.

“Our findings reveal a sobering truth: India’s diverse bird populations are facing significant declines, underscoring an urgent need for coordinated conservation efforts,” said Vivek Ramachandran, fellow, wildlife biology and conservation programme at National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), and an author of the study.

The findings state that over 204 species have suffered long-term declines, and 142 are currently declining. Additionally, 178 species have been classified as High Conservation Priority.

Species such as the Black-capped Kingfisher, Greater Flamingo, Spot-billed Pelican and Western Marsh Harrier have seen some of the most significant population decline.

Birds with specialised diets, such as those feeding on vertebrate prey like fish or on invertebrates such as snails and crabs, have declined the most, averaging over 25 per cent long-term population loss. In contrast, species dependent on fruits or nectar have remained stable or even increased, the findings state.

Habitat specialists from grasslands, scrublands, and wetlands have experienced the steepest declines. The report also found that winter migrants to India have declined more sharply than resident species, raising further alarm.

“A common thread in global assessments is that some groups of birds are more at risk than others, particularly those relying entirely on grasslands, scrublands, agricultural areas, or other open landscapes. Grassland ecosystems in India are highly vulnerable due to the loss of habitat caused by development and plantations,” the study said.

The study also pointed to the use of pesticides as a possible driver of decline in insects, resulting in the decline of birds that rely on them for food.

“Pesticides, including neonicotinoids, currently have very little regulation in India, and this may be a reason behind the severe declines seen in open-habitat birds and insectivores. The relationship between pesticides and fertilisers with insect and bird declines requires urgent attention, so necessary mitigation steps can be taken quickly,” the study said.

31. Why have birds with specialised diets suffered more decline according to the study?

Ⓐ Because they migrate frequently
Ⓑ Because their specific food sources have declined
Ⓒ Because they are hunted for meat
Ⓓ Because they cannot adapt to climate change

32. Assertion (A): Grassland birds in India are highly vulnerable to population decline.
Reason (R): Grassland habitats are being lost due to development and plantations.

33. Winter migrants to India have declined more sharply than resident species because —

Ⓐ India has fewer nesting trees
Ⓑ Grasslands and wetlands have degraded
Ⓒ They travel longer distances
Ⓓ Pesticides have reduced their food supply

34. Choose the correct sequence

(i) The State of India’s Birds 2023 report assessed 942 bird species.
(ii) All fruit-eating birds have declined by 25 per cent.
(iii) Pesticides may be contributing to the decline of insect-eating birds.
(iv) Neonicotinoids are strictly regulated in India.

35. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?

Ⓐ All wetland birds are increasing in number.
Ⓑ Greater Flamingo is among the species showing sharp declines.
Ⓒ Resident bird species have declined more than migrants.
Ⓓ Habitat generalists are more at risk than specialists.

36. Vivek Ramachandran said, “India’s bird populations are facing significant declines.” (Change the Narration)

Ⓐ Vivek Ramachandran said that India’s bird populations were facing significant declines.
Ⓑ Vivek Ramachandran said India’s bird populations are facing significant declines.
Ⓒ Vivek Ramachandran said that India’s bird populations will face significant declines.

Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

Toxic elements are present in the soil and dust on roads in Delhi, with the potential to cause cancer and other serious ailments, a new study has revealed.

The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney.

For the study, roadside soil and dust samples were collected from 33 places in the Capital and were analysed at UNSW.

The study revealed that high levels of antimony, a chemical element, were found in the soil and dust in the Capital. Antimony exposure is touted as a potential carcinogenic risk factor.

According to Dr Manoj Pratap Singh, the principal investigator behind the study, children are at high risk of developing cancer owing to the toxic element exposure. Sharing the details, he said, “At the present rate of exposure, such toxic elements can cause over 1.8 lakh cancer cases in men, more than 2.1 lakh cancer cases in women, and over 21,000 cancer cases in children,” he added.

Dr Singh added that children have higher daily exposure to rare earth elements (REE) than adults. “Their neurodevelopment is highly susceptible to REE exposure. It is associated with a decrease in IQ level and memory loss,” he said.

The toxic elements can enter the body by ingestion or swallowing soil and dust particles, which is common among children, he explained.

“This study revealed that children from Delhi are experiencing an intake of over one milligram of toxic and non-toxic metals every day through roadside soil and dust, which can cause dangerous diseases in the long term,” he added.

“The toxic levels of its chemical element may enter the human body via a dermal route and cause various diseases, including diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus,” he said.

Inhalation of dust can also be a pathway for the toxic elements to enter the body.

On why Delhi roads have high antimony content, Dr Singh explained that the frequent use of brakes (friction of brake pads) in vehicles can cause the toxic chemical element to be released in the environment in the form of fine particles.

Research has also revealed that burning fossil fuels on a large scale in the city also contributes to the accumulation of toxic elements. The presence of the dangerous metal lead has also been confirmed in the study.

He added that Cerium (Ce) content was found to be the highest in roadside soil and road dust among the REEs, analysed for the study. A Ce compound is used in catalytic converters of vehicles for the complete combustion of fuel, and is emitted from exhaust in the form of fine particles.

Under this study, two research papers have been published in the Hygiene and Environmental Health Advances journal and the Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances. In the second research paper titled “Comprehensive Chemical Profiling of Roadside Soil and Road Dust of Delhi, India: Estimation of Health Risk and City Fuel Consumption” published in “Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances”, the presence of a total of 44 elements was analysed, including 16 REEs.

Detailing the specifics of the study, he said, “Fifteen elements in the present study were identified from a priority list of the upper 275 toxic substances based on various parameters, including toxicity for human exposure. These fifteen elements, with their toxicity ranking in bracket, are: – arsenic (1), lead (2), cadmium (7), chromium VI (17), beryllium (43), nickel (57), zinc (75), chromium (78), uranium (97), copper (118), barium (134), manganese (140), selenium (146), aluminum (183) and vanadium (200),” he said.

31. Why are children more vulnerable to toxic element exposure from Delhi’s roadside dust?

Ⓐ They are closer to the ground while walking

Ⓑ They have a stronger immune system

Ⓓ They are more likely to ingest dust and are neurodevelopmentally susceptible

32. Assertion (A): Cerium content was found highest in Delhi’s roadside dust among REEs.

Reason (R): Cerium is used in catalytic converters and emitted via exhaust.

Choose the correct option:

Ⓐ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Ⓑ Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Ⓓ A is false, but R is true.

33. The study warns that toxic soil and dust can cause a high number of cancer cases in Delhi because —

Ⓐ the city has a humid climate

Ⓑ ingestion and inhalation of toxic elements is frequent

Ⓓ Delhi has less green cover

34. Choose the correct sequence of True (T) or False (F):

(i) Antimony can be released by the friction of brake pads.

(ii) The study was conducted only in Australia.

(iii) Children may suffer memory loss due to REE exposure.

(iv) Aluminum and Zinc are not found in Delhi’s road dust.

Options:

Ⓐ T, F, T, F

Ⓑ T, T, F, F

Ⓓ T, F, F, T

35. Which one of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

Ⓐ All toxic elements in the study were non-carcinogenic

Ⓑ Lead was not found in the road dust of Delhi

Ⓓ Delhi has the cleanest roadside air according to the study

36. Dr Singh said, “Children have higher daily exposure to rare earth elements.” (Change into indirect speech)

Ⓐ Dr Singh said children had higher daily exposure to rare earth elements.

Ⓑ Dr Singh said children have high daily exposure to rare earth elements.

Ⓓ Dr Singh says that children had higher daily exposure.

37. The friction of brake pads releases toxic particles. These pollute Delhi’s roads. (Combine into one sentence)

Ⓐ The friction of brake pads releasing toxic particles polluting Delhi’s roads.

Ⓑ Brake pad friction releases toxic particles and pollutes Delhi’s roads.

Ⓓ As brake pads friction, they release particles polluting Delhi.

38. Choose the grammatically correct sentence from the following:

Ⓐ The study were published in two journal.

Ⓑ This study revealed that children is more at risk.

Ⓓ The roads in Delhi was found highly toxic.

39. Choose the word similar in meaning to “intake” from the passage:

Ⓐ Discharge

Ⓑ Consumption

Ⓓ Storage

40. Refer to the table below and choose the element correctly matched with its toxicity ranking:

Element	Toxicity Ranking
Lead	2
Zinc	75
Cadmium	7
Barium	20
