ENGLISH (81-120) Directions (Q. 81-90): Read the following 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. In response to the first signs of decay, a group of journalists decided to form a discussion group that would keep them sharp, help them exchange ideas and share information. One of the subjects suggested by a junior assistant editor, a male junior assistant editor one must add, was the increasing feminization of the newsroom. For one reason or another, the discussion group met only once and never got around to talking about the number of women in the newsroom. But when word got around that this might be a topic for debate, many of the men in the newsroom buttonholed me and asked if I might represent their views. Here I am relying on memory but the main concerns expressed were: • The softening of the news. Women were being hired so as to represent concerns that were not those worthy of a newspaper. • The weakening of moral fibre. Women were a distraction to male reporters who seemed to be spending more time trying to flirt than doing their jobs. • The preferential treatment that made it difficult for men to see women as equal colleagues. • The first two are so patently ridiculous that I will ignore them. What has been considered “all the news that’s fit to print” or what has been considered the news with which “the leader guards the reader” has changed • From era to era, from nation to state to city to town, from editor to editor, from imagined readership to imagined readership. As far as weakening of the moral fibre goes, this is the same argument that requires women to be wrapped up, literally and metaphorically, for their own good. The third argument at least dealt with on-ground problems. What happens on the night shift? To what areas of the city would an editor (male or female)be willing to send an unescorted woman? Were their stories that women would not be sent to cover? Considering that it was the age where master-servant liability still applied – journalists were not contract laborers at this time but wage earners – what did it mean if a woman was raped on the street while she was doing her job? What if she were killed? (Here, however, I must make another slightly different point. Sameera Khan, who worked for the same newspaper, once told me that she knew who was going to be assigned a story that had a Muslim angle to it; she would be asked to cover it.) Identity is always an amorphous thing but in India, it is simultaneously the mountain and the molehill. Thus one might ask: in terms of identity does an avowed feminist position present a problem to the person occupying it in an Indian newsroom? The principles of journalism – objectivity, balance, neutrality, fairness – require its practitioners to take on the impossible and indefensible position of the impartial observer. To declare oneself a feminist is to seek exclusion from the boy’s club of back-slapping masculinity, to distance 18 | P a g e Follow Us - FB.com/AffairsCloudOfficialPage

RRB PO Mock Test oneself from subaltern perspectives of Class IV staff (often the best informed of backroom deals) and certainly from the gossip exchanged between bawdy jokes. Dan Laughey points out that this can also have repercussions on a woman’s career. Declaringfeminist values is considered a dangerous career move, perhaps even more so today than in the 1970s when feminism was at least represented as both a threat to patriarchal order and a fashionable, worthwhile pursuit. Is this replicated in India? As journalism heads from craft to art, as print news moves from hard news to features, how does postmodernism affect women journalists’ practice? As Robert Ferguson puts it: Silenced and minority voices are more likely to be heard, according to the postmodern argument as forms of essentialism are eroded. Various forms of feminism have been able, through cultural and media studies, to assert their presence as have discourses about questions of identity in relation to ethnicities, sexual orientation and nationalisms. With one or two notable exceptions however, the postmodern rejection of totalizing theory has meant the questions of class have somehow been relegated in importance or simply ignored. That is the good news. But one of the key themes of postmodernism is exhaustion. Exhaustion is expressed in the stress on pastiche and parody, the collage of quotations, travesties, the idolatry of comic strips, the main strategy of satisfying the public’s “hunger for pictures”, the absence of confrontative and rebel attitudes, the perverse mix of values, the collapse of the humanistic heritage, vibrant anti-elitism and an all-embracing eclecticism. How does that play into a passionate engagement with gender sensitivity and a keenly-felt desire for gender equality? Can one be fashionably exhausted and resolutely activist in praxis at the same time? 81) Which is not a principle of journalism? A) objectivity B) balance C) passion D) lack of prejudice E) neutrality 82) What does the author not feel about the first two concerns expressed in the newsroom?

A) News is news, it should not be categorized as good or bad. B) News that is considered fit enough to print depends on other variables. C) Ridiculous or soft news does not entice females.

Health insurance policies were first introduced in 1986 at a time when the Indian insurance industry was nationalised. The policies on offer were complicated to read and offered limited cover. There were no third party administrators operating in India, and there was no direct settlement of claims between health insurer and hospital. There were therefore issues concerning claims servicing, which involved an insured following 20 | P a g e Follow Us - FB.com/AffairsCloudOfficialPage

RRB PO Mock Test cumbersome procedures to get claims authenticated and paid. The business was not profitable for the nationalised insurers, and not popular with the public at large. The original 'Mediclaim Policy', however, developed and in many cases has provided the base model for the health care insurance policies that were introduced immediately after liberalisation of the general insurance sector at the turn of the millennium. Health insurance, however, saw no specialist players until relatively recently. This is because there was a general expectation that the insurance industry regulator, the IRDA, would set a smaller capitalisation requirement for health insurers and/or amend the rules for foreign equity ownership in Indian insurers in recognition of the fact that health insurance loss ratios were not good; and therefore finding an Indian partner to invest 76% in a health insurer would be a difficult task. The IRDA did not, however, relax either the capitalisation requirements or foreign investments caps. Initially, therefore, the health insurance market did not grow as quickly as may have been expected. Growth in policyholder numbers, more effective third party administration and an effective network of hospitals is expected to see the numbers improve. Other changes have been effected to encourage growth in this sector. Life insurers have been allowed to sell health insurance. Initially, life insurers were only allowed to sell certain types of health covers as a supplement to a life policy. However, the IRDA has allowed life insurers to sell pure health insurance products subject to product specific approvals. The standard mediclaim policy has undergone several revisions and modifications. In recent years, private health insurers have been offering fresh products with increased covers and sums insured. Private hospital rates are still low compared to the rates charged in more developed countries, but high when compared to average Indian earnings. It is no longer uncommon for Indian employees to now expect that health care will be part of an employment package. With the opening up of the market to private competition, the claims process has become much less cumbersome. Support for a health insurance market has also come from some less obvious sources. Indian states have started relying on insurance policies to meet some of their legal obligations to provide health care to their citizens. The Central Government has also proposed the introduction of free health care insurance for the poor. This plan is meant to cover every poor family for INR 30,000 per annum. The Central Government will pay 75% of the premium, leaving the remaining 25% to be covered by state governments. The IRDA has also encouraged Micro-insurance as a means of extending the availability of health insurance to areas of the market that, geographically and economically, may not have been at the forefront of insurers’ business plans. At the same time as the market grows, the IRDA is stepping in to create a more consumer friendly playing field, particularly with regards to the treatment of senior citizens; the operation of the pre-existing diseases exclusion, and the reluctance of insurers to renew policies where the claims experience has been bad. Senior citizens had been complaining about the reluctance of insurers to issue policies to them, and the inclusion of disadvantageous terms when policies were offered - such as hefty increases in premium rates, added exclusions and conditions, etc. In May 2007, the IRDA set up a committee on Health Insurance for Senior Citizens to make recommendations. The Committee reported in November 2007 and made the following main recommendations - Senior Citizens should have some assurance that their policies will be renewed; the Industry should adopt standard terms and conditions, such as for the definition of pre-existing diseases. The Committee also said that policy wordings should be simpler for the lay man to follow, suggesting that uniform terminology be used by all insurers to lessen confusion in the public mind. 91) Which of the following is/are the reason/s because of which the health insurance industry has witnessed growth? (A) The format of the policy has been improvised since its inception. (B) Organizations provide health insurance cover to their employees as a part of the remuneration process. 21 | P a g e Follow Us - FB.com/AffairsCloudOfficialPage
