Directions (144-149): Read the following passage and answer the given questions.

In the intricate tapestry of the Middle East’s economic landscape, countries face enduring challenges, and Portugal’s ministerial predicament sheds light on the shortcomings of past economic philosophies. Two ministers, Maria Silva and João Rodrigues, grapple with distinct and now seemingly inadequate approaches, reflecting a negative tone in the quest to revive the economy.

Maria Silva, advocating a meticulous, methodical approach, once celebrated for its practicality, finds her strategies faltering in the face of evolving challenges. Studying the highs and lows of the economy and addressing root causes was once considered a robust strategy.

On the opposing front, João Rodrigues champions an immediate solution – the infusion of cash and monetary resources into the economy. This Keynesian approach, effective in the past, now reveals its flaws in the contemporary economic landscape. Rapid cash injections, while providing a quick fix, risk contributing to inflation and fail to address the deep-seated, structural issues at the heart of the economic challenges.

These once-successful policies from the 1980s are now proving inadequate in the current scenario. The failure of Silva’s methodical approach lies in its inability to swiftly adapt to the rapid changes and interconnectedness characterizing today’s global economy. Conversely, Rodrigues’ cash infusion strategy, while providing short-term relief, lacks the foresight needed to address the intricate challenges that have evolved over time.

The inadequacy of these policies in today’s scenario underscores the necessity for innovative, adaptive strategies that account for the complexities of modern economies. Globalization, technological advancements, and shifting geopolitical landscapes demand a departure from historical approaches. The difficulty in reviving the Middle East’s economy serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the imperative for forward-thinking policies that can navigate the intricacies of the contemporary economic environment.

Q144. Why does Maria Silva’s methodical approach face challenges in the contemporary economic landscape, according to the passage?

Owing to its unparalleled capacity to navigate the intricacies of the contemporary economic environment.
As it achieved success in the 1980s, Maria Silva was overly confident about its effectiveness.
Because it lacks the agility to quickly adjust to the dynamic changes and interconnected nature of today’s global economy
Since João Rodrigues was adopting a Keynesian approach, it impeded the success of Maria Silva’s approach.
Due to Maria Silva’s failure to analyze the intricacies of this approach.

Q145. What is the essential necessity in contemporary economies for formulating financial policies?

1. A reliance on archaic and unyielding approaches is key to successfully navigating the complexities of modern economies.
2. It is necessary to understand the dynamic global economy and technological advancements and shifting geopolitical landscapes.
3. The capability to create innovative and flexible strategies that consider the intricacies of present-day economies.
  1. only (I)
  2. Both (I) and (II)
  3. Both (II) and (III)
  4. Only (III)
  5. All (I), (II) and (III)

Q146. In Rodrigues’ approach, how can a trade-off be achieved between providing immediate relief and ensuring long-term effectiveness?

Rodrigues’ strategy should focus exclusively on offering short-term relief and not be employed for long- term resolution.
Injecting cash into the system to revitalize it on an international scale.
Anticipating forthcoming changes and revolutions in the global economy.
By prioritizing short-term gains, Rodrigues’ approach supported long term goals
The information given in the passage is not enough to answer the question.

Q147. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT concerning João Rodrigues’ approach?

1. Rapid cash injections attempt to resolve the fundamental, structural issues at the core of the economic challenges.
2. While this Keynesian approach demonstrated effectiveness in earlier times, it exposes its shortcomings in the present economic context.
3. João Rodrigues provided only temporary relief to the economy.
  1. Only (I)
  2. Both (II) and (III)
  3. Only (II)

Both approaches failed to account for the intricacies of the modern economy.
Both methods leverage the financial resources of the nation.
Both (a) and (b)
All (a) (b) and (c)

Q149. As per the passage, which of the following statements is accurate?

1. The inadequacy of historical policies accentuates the imperative for avant-garde strategies adept at navigating the intricacies of modern economies.
2. Rodrigues’ cash infusion strategy adeptly confronts the intricate challenges that have evolved over time.
