Directions (Q.1 - 8): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words /
phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

. n
h a
Internet has become one of the most important technologies to organize people socially. Present
research contends that internet and web 2.0 have given rise to a new form of sovereignty to social actors who

i b
reject any organisation or state that fails to give its prospective clients exactly what they want. Social media
has empowered the consumer as a social actor to voice complaints with reduced physical and psychological

t
costs combined with greater visibility and organisation facilitated through the social nature of these
technologies. Also, the rate of adoption of internet has exceeded most mass communications technologies,

a
making it almost indispensable for the modern consumer. The growing popularity of social media has

p r
coincided with the decline of the use of traditional media, which has resulted in a shift from the concept of
traditional one-way communication to a mode where people interact with each other. These trends have

d u
empowered citizens to be aware of the latest happenings and also helped them effectively communicate their
opinion. On the other side, it has also enabled leaders of political organisations to get in touch and share

a
information about themselves without any mediators.

n
.e e
Social media's role for leaders is important from the perspective of instant information and feedback
about the people and also from the viewpoint of building relationships. The power of listening on social media
can help leaders effectively understand the needs of people. This understanding can lead to better relational

w w e t
development. Relational development is facilitated by reciprocated deeper disclosures that increase trust,
build credibility and intimacy. These relationships can help citizens understand their leader and can facilitate

w n
emotional connections. Unfortunately, at present in India, there has been an over-reliance and focus on

.
Twitter, which by very nature is a low-depth medium. A greater reliance on text or video blogs can be far more

h a
beneficial for deeper disclosures, which can then be discussed through a more instant medium like Twitter.
From the perspective of leader trying to win a vote, it is important to understand influence on social

i b
media. Aristotle, one of the pioneers on the idea of persuasion, has talked about logos (logic), pathos
(emotion) and ethos (credibility) as three modes of persuasion. Persuasion through emotion is one area where

a t
social media empowers leaders as opposed to the traditional curated discourse. Instant replies (reciprocity) to
personal queries and thoughts of people make social media a relevant and a powerful tool for any leader.

Directions (Q. 94-96): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

a t
Poverty measurement is an unsettled issue, both conceptually and methodologically. Since poverty is a
process as well as an outcome; many come out of it while others may be falling into it. The net effect of these

p r
two parallel processes is a proportion commonly identified as the 'head count ratio', but these ratios hide the
fundamental dynamism that characterises poverty in practice. The most recent poverty re-estimates by an

d u
expert group has also missed the crucial dynamism. In a study conducted on 13000 households which
represented the entire country in 1993-94 and again on 2004-05, it was found that in the ten-year period

a
18.2% rural population moved out of poverty whereas another 22.1% fell into it over this period. This net

n
94. e
increase of about four percentage points was seen to have a considerable variation across states and regions.

e
Which of the following is a conclusion which can be drawn from the facts stated in the above

.
paragraph?

w ww
1) Accurate estimates of number of people living below poverty line in India is possible to be made.
2) Many expert groups in India are not interested to measure poverty objectively.
3) Process of poverty measurement needs to take into account various factors to tackle its dynamic
nature.
4) People living below poverty line remain in that position for a very long time.
5) None of these
