Directions (11-15): Below in each questions, some sentences are given, find the sentence which is not really contributing to the main theme and OUT of the passage or find the odd sentence and rearrange the remaining sentences to make a coherent paragraph. 

Q11. (A) There has to be a shift away from large budgets for collection and transport by private contractors, to the processing of segregated garbage. 
(B) Improving on the national record of collecting only 80% of waste generated and being able to process just 28% of that quantum, requires behaviour modification among citizens and institutions. 
(C) But what is more important is that the municipal bodies put in place an integrated system to transport and process what has been segregated at source. 
(D) More than a year after the notification of the much-delayed Solid Waste Management Rules, cities and towns are in no position to comply with its stipulations, beginning with the segregation of different kinds of waste at source and their scientific processing. 
(E) Neither are urban local governments treating the 62 million tonnes of waste generated annually in the country as a potential resource. They have left the task of value extraction mostly to the informal system of garbage collectors and recyclers.

Q12. (A) It is also ironic that while some countries such as Rwanda and Kenya have introduced stiff penalties for the use of flimsy plastic bags, India is doing little to prevent them from drifting into suburban garbage mountains, rivers, lakes and the sea, and being ingested by cattle feeding on dumped refuse. 
(B) In the absence of stakeholders at the local body level, recoverable resources embedded in discarded materials are lost due to dumping. 
(C) Quantum is the Latin word for amount and, in modern understanding, means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property, such as energy or matter. 
(D) But it is a major opportunity lost. Organic waste that could help green cities and feed small and affordable household biogas plants is simply being thrown away. 
(E) Organic refuse, which forms about 50% of all garbage, readily lends itself to the generation of compost or production of methane for household use or power generation.

Q13. (A) Given such constraints, farmers have limited scope for crop diversification, choosing to focus primarily on staple crops such as wheat and rice, where the government offers a price guarantee for produce and the availability of post-harvest infrastructure. 
 (B) Large farmers in Maharashtra typically have access to modern pumps, consuming huge amounts of water and leaving hardly anything for small and marginal farmers. 
 (C) They rose in revolt but were crushed by the East India Company until the arrival of a barrister from South Africa. 
 (D) The limited availability and high cost of high-yielding seed varieties also hampers agricultural productivity. 
 (E) Fertilizer and pesticide prices have also risen, causing marginal farmers to adopt organic means.

Q14. (A) All this can be changed if the government abolishes private practice, institutes universal medical care and becomes the employer of all medical graduates, similar to the National Health Service of the U.K. 
(B) This egregious state of affairs led to several persons approaching courts. 
(C) Doctors from poorer backgrounds will need to struggle a lot more. 
(D) Inequality among qualified doctors is quite high. The economically well-off can aspire to better jobs, training abroad (still much sought after in spite of all nationalist talk), and generally adopt metropolitan lifestyles.

Q15. (A) This makes it worthwhile to interrogate the kind of spaces where PDOs are currently being deployed and their claims to being ‘public’. 
(B) Recent moves by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to pilot public open WiFi hotspots through a nationwide model of pay as you go public data offices (PDOs) is a concerted bid to make cheap, fast, and reliable Internet affordable and accessible. 
(C) According to the ‘Public WiFi Open Pilot’ document released by TRAI, the PDOs are encouraged to be the kind of spaces where “consumption of data for the average Indian becomes as common as consuming a cup of hot chai.” 
(D) In its plans to swiftly facilitate and scale WiFi infrastructure, TRAI is drawing inspiration from the public call office (PCO) telephone booths that spawned a communication revolution in India.
