Q1. Our world’s surface is a jumble of 1 (puzzle) tectonic plates, with new ones emerging as others are pulled under. The ongoing cycle keeps our continents in motion and drives life on Earth. But what happens when a plate disappears into the planet’s interior?
The question has long puzzled scientists because conventional wisdom said that sinking tectonic plates must 2 (stabilize) intact to keep pulling on the portion behind it, but according to geophysical evidence, they are destroyed.
Now, in a study published in Nature, scientists say they’ve found an answer that reconciles the two stories: Plates are significantly 3 (improved) as they sink but not so much that they break apart entirely. The finding came after scientists put tectonic plates through a computer-generated gauntlet of destructive geologic forces. The model 4 (display) that as the plate enters the mantle, it bends abruptly downward, cracking its cold, brittle back. At the same time, the 5 (observing) changes the fine grain structure of the rock along its underbelly, leaving it weakened. Combined, the stresses pinch the plate along its weak points, leaving it mostly intact but segmented like a slinky snake.

Directions (29-34): Read the following passage and answer the given questions. PARAGRAPH 1:
The U.S. pharmaceutical industry stands as a cornerstone in the nation’s healthcare system, renowned for its innovation and global impact. Home to major pharmaceutical companies, the sector covers a spectrum from drug discovery to distribution. "Big Pharma" giants lead in developing diverse medications, subject to stringent approval processes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Beyond medical advancements, the industry significantly influences the country’s economy, contributing billions and offering extensive employment. Continuous research addresses healthcare challenges, solidifying the U.S. as a global innovation hub. Yet, challenges persist, including debates on drug pricing and accessibility. The industry, balancing innovation and public health, symbolizes a dynamic force in advancing medical science, exemplifying the U.S.’s pivotal role in global pharmaceutical leadership.
PARAGRAPH 2:
More than 80% of South African pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution revenue is from the private sector. State purchases of pharmaceuticals are declining, and manufacturers’ margins are under pressure due to low regulated price increases for scheduled pharmaceuticals in a high inflation environment. In the retail sector, companies like Clicks and Dis-Chem have wholesale volume advantages and an ever-increasing footprint. Consumer spending patterns have forced consolidation in the retail sector, the growth of private label sales, growth in convenience formats, and diversification into new services and products. While almost 70% of pharmaceutical products used in South Africa are locally produced, almost all active pharmaceutical ingredients and various finished products are imported. South Africa has established the capacity and capabilities to formulate and supply products such as ARVs (to treat HIV) and radiopharmaceuticals. The pandemic highlighted the country’s limited access to critical vaccines, and a flurry of investments have been announced to localise vaccine raw material and finished dose manufacturing, although the sustainability of these initiatives is far from secure.

- Big Pharma contributes funds and resources to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- Big Pharma collaborates with the FDA to guarantee the safety of drugs and generates funds to propel advancements in medical science.
- Both (a) and (b)
Q30. Despite its contributions, what challenges does the U.S. pharmaceutical industry face?
- The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges in building and maintaining public trust.
- High costs of certain medications raise concerns about affordability.
- Ensuring equitable access of essential medications
- Competition from international pharmaceutical companies, along with the rise of generic drugs.

Directions (35-40): Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
Living in a warm, dry, and healthy home is declared by the Chief Human Rights Commissioner of New Zealand, Paul Hunt, to be as fundamental a human right as the presumption of innocence or freedom of expression. However, an alarming "accountability deficit" in ensuring the upkeep of such homes poses a threat to New Zealand’s democratic ideals. Despite being ranked the second freest nation globally in 2021, issues arise from property being the primary source of wealth for New Zealanders, a widening equality gap, and the challenging living conditions for approximately 600,000 households residing in non-owned properties.
The disparity is evident in the poor state of many rental homes, with an estimated 30% to 50% of the rental stock being in suboptimal condition. To address this, the government introduced healthy homes standards in 2019, aiming to make rental properties warmer and drier. Landlords were given deadlines to comply, with significant penalties for non-compliance, reflecting a shift in the system from an unregulated environment to one with minimum standards. However, issues of accountability persist, with the compliance and investigations unit facing limitations in overseeing the vast rental property landscape.
The Human Rights Commission recommends urgent establishment of independent accountability mechanisms, such as a housing ombudsman or a statutory body, to rectify the current oversight gaps. The report emphasizes the need for effective, nimble, and equitable accountability grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, benefiting both renters and homeowners. With tenants currently shouldering much of the responsibility for enforcing their rights, there is a call for a more balanced approach to ensure that New Zealand’s housing standards align with democratic principles, the human rights of all citizens.
Q35. The passage discusses a dichotomy between the country’s ranking and the challenges it confronts. What is this dichotomy referring to?
- A harmonious relationship between New Zealand’s global freedom ranking and the housing challenges it encounters.
- New Zealand’s challenges being solely related to its global freedom ranking, with high impact from property wealth or living conditions.
- Despite stringent policies aimed at ensuring healthy homes, rental properties continue to be in suboptimal conditions.
- New Zealand’s high global freedom ranking and the challenges it faces with property wealth, inequality, and living conditions.
- None of these
Q36. Before the introduction of deadlines and penalties, what can be stated about the regulatory environment for landlord?
- Landlords operated in an environment marked by a deficiency of regulation or established standards.
- Charges were imposed on landlords for providing subpar housing conditions to their tenants before the introduction of deadlines and penalties.
- Landlords resisted the strict regulations implemented by the government in the pre-penalty era.
- The regulatory framework did not foster compliance among landlords; instead, it encouraged non- compliance.
- The regulatory environment for landlords was stringent, with clearly defined regulations and standards in place.
Q37. According to the passage, what is the meaning of “accountability deficit”?
- The absence of state responsibility to appoint a housing ombudsman for dispute resolution.
- The joint responsibility of individuals and the state to formulate clear policies for ensuring the well- being of homes.
- Insufficiency in holding individuals or entities accountable for ensuring the well-being of homes and enforcing housing standards.
- Both (a) and (d)
- Uncertainty regarding the statutory body’s liability for rules and regulations concerning the provision of healthy homes.
Q38. Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
- protecting
- rejuvenating
- reviving
- capturing
- enlightening
Q39. In the context of the passage, which statement(s) is/are TRUE?
- New Zealand was ranked the freest nation globally in 2021.
- In response to the suboptimal conditions of rental properties, the government introduced healthy homes standards in 2021.
- The compliance and investigations unit has successfully addressed accountability issues in overseeing the rental property landscape.
- The Human Rights Commission recommends the establishment of an independent housing ombudsman
- Currently, tenants bear only a little portion of the responsibility for enforcing their rights within the housing sector.

passage.
- anticipating
