Dear Aspirants,
This section can be easy as pie if your basics are clear. Sometimes, even those who can communicate very well in English, fail to perform to the best of their ability in the banking exams. So, instead of boiling the ocean, try building up a strong vocabulary, an effective knowledge of grammar, and efficient comprehension skills so as to be on the ball to face this particular section. Here is a quiz being provided by Adda247 to let you practice the best of latest pattern English Questions.
Directions (1-15): The following question consists of a passage in which certain phrase/Sentences are printed in bold. Find out if there is an error in any of the bold part of the sentence, find the correct alternatives to replace those parts from the three options given below each question to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the given sentence is grammatically correct or does not require any correction, choose (e), i.e., “No correction required” as your answer.
In trying to shore up its domestic solar industry, the Directorate General of Safeguards has opted for a strong-arm measure — recommending a 70 per cent ‘provisional safeguard duty’ on imported solar cells, on the basis of “unquestionable, verified surge in imports”. Notably, imports from developing countries other than China and Malaysia are exempted from this duty, (1) which makes it clear that the duty is aimed at China. This is not surprising because the imports are almost entirely from China — as much as 88 per cent in 2017-18. Imports of solar cells rose from $820 million in 2014-15 to $3.19 billion in 2016-17, and $ 2.13 (2) billions in almost the starts of the year. The marked surge in imports (3) has the obviously consequence of growth demanded combined in India losing its case at the World Trade Organisation over reserving a slice of the market for locally-manufactured products. However, the 70 per cent (4) Safeguard duty would raise solar tariffs through the currently leveled of 2.50/KWHr, which makes it competitive with coal and other forms of power, to more than 4/kWHr. (5) Weather the move has been in the sync of climate adaption truly being the question.
Will India’s solar programme, (6) which has an overall installed capacity of around 17 GB (principally in the form of ground-mounted solar), lose its way (7) since often the rise into the cost of solar cell? A sobering truth in the effort to indigenise is that 90 per cent of India’s solar (8) installations into the comprised import over the cells and modules. There can be no missing the strategic aspect to indigenisation here — an effort (9) for the free programmes of dependency of the super most powers. With domestic content requirement no longer an option, government procurement seems to be the likely way out. India missed out on the semi-conductor revolution in the 1990s, (10) when public sector is capaciting to setup was seeking not the be nurtured at that time. Now, it seems hard to catch up, both in terms of costs and technology in photovoltaics, (11) at a time when leaders producers are developing material that will enhance energy conversion efficiency levels beyond 15-20 per cent. The ministry of new and renewable energy concedes in a recent ‘concept note’ on solar manufacturing in India, (12) that the installed capacity is not being fully exploited because of its obsolete technology in relation to installation needs. (13) There are no integrated Indian manufacturers who are present across the value chain.
The recommendation is not well thought out either. Most Chinese manufacturers have plants in Taiwan and could (14) easily shifting to the supplying from there, evading the safeguard duty. In sum, Indian producers could do with some hand-holding, with the Railways and (15) Buying another undertaking which is the public- sector. But the industry itself will have to shape up or ship out.
