'S.

The history ofeconomics has been, among other things. a story of learning to care less about land. The physiocrats of I Sth-century France saw it as the primary guarantor of wealth.Adam Smith included it alongside lahourand capital as one of the three factors of production that combined to generate output. A little later, Thomas Malthus saw its innate scarcity as ensuring eventual catastrophe in the face of exponential population growth. Instead of succumbing to catastrophe. Western countries found ways to work around land's scarcity. some of them ingenious - skyscrapers, artificial fertilizer, railways, suburbs and some nefarious oppression, dispossession. colonization. Improved transport allowed land farther off to do the work that land close at hand had done before, whether by producing crops halfway round the world or housing workers out in the suburbs. High productivity allowed more food to be grown on fewer farms. The value of land relative to GDP fell remorselessly. By the second half of the 20th century, land was sufficiently maiginalized in rich-world economies that it scarcely recistered in economics tethooks. By the 1970s, some seers, noting the falling cost and increasing power of information technology, convincedthemselvesthatthe textbooks were anticipating the way ofthe world: land and location would soon cease to matter in real life, too. Instead, concern over land has come roaring back. The issue is not overall scarcity, but scarcity in specific places - the cities responsible for a disproportionate amount of the world's output. The high price of land in these places is, in part, an unavoidable outcome of success. But it is also the product ofdistortions that cost the world dear. One

estimate suggests that since the 1960s such distortions have reduced America's GDP by more than 13%. Land's new relevance is rooted in two main developments. The first, ironically enough. is related to the revolution in computers and communications that was beginning to become evident in the 1970s. In some ways, this revolution has brought about the "death of distance" foreseen by Frances Cairncross. Supply chains leap borders and oceans: calls to customer services can be answered a continent away. But ifdistance has died. location has not. In the middle of the 20th century, many big, previously vibrant cities in the rich world were shrinking. In the 1980s. some of them turned around. Edward Glaeser of Harvard University and Giacomo Ponzetto ofCREI, a research centre in Barcelona, reckon that this was because informationtechnologymade work in some knowledge intensive industries far more lucrative. Financial traders could manage more money across more investors: software firms could sell their products cheaply and easily across a global market. As the returnto knowledge intensive activities exploded, so did the economic fortunes of idea producing places. Before the 1980s, there was no statistical link between the skill-level of a city's workforce and its tendency to create new kinds of work. From the 1980s on, by contrast, new job categories appeared with much greater regularity in places with highly skilled workers than in those that lacked them. It seems that workers accumulate knowledge faster in cities with lots of idea industries. What is more, Mr. Glaeser and his colleague Matthew Resseger find a closerelationshipbetweenthe population of a metropolitan area and the productivity of workers within that area. Top cities became hotbeds of innovative activity against which other places could not easily compete. The people clustered together boosted each other's employment opportunities and potential income From Bengaluru to Austin. Milan to Paris, land became a scarce and precious resource as a result;

11, Whenever 'from' is used to begin a range, 'to' is used to end it. All other choices are incorrect, Choice (1) 12. The correct sentence would be the one with the

use of 'as many houses will not receive'. This makes choice (3) the correct answer. The use of 'as many as' is incorrect as it helps to show comparison. There is no comparison being made in the given sentence The use of 'few' and 'too few' shows that the houses are countable. And even though this may be true, a number hasn't been provided to support this. The use of 'any' is incorrect as it shows no quantity at all This renders the sentence illogical Choice (3)

13, rhere are no errors in the given sentence. The use of 'one of the beautiful forts' indicates that there are many other beautiful forts and this fort is one among them. Points (1) and (2) could be correct if they made use of 'forts' after beautiful. Whenever a comparison is being made in the superlative or the comparative degree, then the plural of the noun under comparison should be used. Choices (3) and (4) are structurally incorrect Choice (5) 14. The original sentence means that the evenls have lined up by themselves, which is illogical The use of would have had' shows a possibility, which would then defeat the purpose of the city police being busy, as the events may or may not happen. Point (4) is correct as it shows that an activity for the tuture has been scheduled. All other options show a possibility of the activity happening Choice (4) 15. 'Severe strain' is correct over 'severity strain' as,

'severe' defines the strain It 'severity' is used, both 'strain' and 'severity' would be nouns and would render the sentence incorrect. 'Recording' is correct over 'recorded' as the 'strain' cannot record itself. This makes choice (2) the correct Choice (2) answer. Solutions for questions 16 to 20: 16. As we all know unemployment is a matter to be

concerned about and it is the government's responsibility to do something to get rid of Hence option (3) where (C) 'eradicate' which means to get rid off completely and (B) 'eliminate' which means to get rid of are synonymous and so is the correct option. Option 1 can be ruled out because (A) 'increase' and (F) 'aggravate' which means to make worse or more severe though synonymous convey the opposite meaning in the context of the sentence. Option 2 can also be ruled out on similar grounds. Likewise option 5 can also be ruled out because (C) 'eradicate' which means to get rid of something completely and (D) exacerbate' which means to make something worse are not synonymous to each other. Choice (3) 17. The sentence tells us something about the use of handheld celiphones while driving as a result of which many people have turned to hands-free models. Generally people turn to alternatives of a particular thing when the one that is in use creates problems or is difficult to use So option (1) where (B) 'hazardous' which means involving risk/danger and (F) 'dangerous' which means involving or tilled with danger are synonymous in the given context and so is the correct option. Choice (1) 18. Generally a complaint is given/made when

something that should be done is not done. This suggests that the doctors might have not been doing their duties which is why complaints have come up. Hence option 5 where (B) 'negligence' meaning the failure to exercise the care that is required in a circumstance and (D) 'laxity' a synonym of 'negligence' and which means 'careless' is the correct option. Option 1 where (A) 'tactics' meaning particular method used to achieve something and (C) 'assidiousness' meaning great and constant diligence and attention can be eliminated because 'assidiousness' is not a synonym of tactics and also is inapt in this context option 2 where (E) 'diligence' meaning heedfulness and (F) 'perseverance' meaning steady persistence in a course of action can be ruled out because though they are synonymous they are inapt in the context of the sentence option 3 can also be ruled out because (C) 'assidiousness' and (F) 'perseverance' are inapt, option 4 where (C) 'assidiousness' and (D) 'laxity' meaning careless are eliminated because they are not synonymous and are inapt. Choice (5)

20. The sentence is about tight deadlines and a particular kind of nature of the demands at work as a result of which there is not much time for colleagues to interact with one another. This suggests that the nature of demands at work is one that is keeping oneself busy. Hence option (1) where (C) 'stringent' meaning demanding strict attention to rules and procedures and (E) 'exacting' a synonym of 'stnngent' and which means requinng great care/effort is the correct option. Option 2 where (A) 'lenient' meaning not strict/severe and (B) 'flexible' meaning capable of being changed can be eliminated because it is inapt is the context of the given sentence Option 3 where (F) 'oppressive' meaning unlustly harsh and (D) 'tolerant' meaning able to endure can be ruled out as they are riot synonymous and are also inapt in the context option 4 can also be ruled out as a wrong option/choice because (C) 'stringenl' and (A) 'lenient' are neither synonymous nor apt for the context Option S can also be ruled out on similar grounds as that of option 4 because (F) 'oppressive' and (B) 'flexible' are neither synonymous nor apt for the given context Choice (1) Solutions for questions 2110 25:

The passage talks about a certain Mr. Sutton The passage must begin with the (C) as it introduces a context. The use of the word 'but' in (F) refutes the issue cited in the context, and thereby, (F) should follow (C). (B) should follow (F) as the identity to Mr Sutton is given in (B). (A) gives further details on him, and should follow next. (E) helps in describing how Mr Sutton can help solve the problems of the cycling teams and (D) is the ideas through which Mr Sutton could help. Hence, it comes in the end. Thus, the sequence of the passage would be C F B A E D Choice (1)

Choice (2) Choice (3) Choice (4) Choice (5) Solutions for questions 26 to 30:

The passage is about the friclion between the Fed Reserve and the government as the public representative started complaining about the policies of the Fed. Therefore 'complained' is the right choice. Choice (2) 21

The high unemployment problem was there for a certain period. Therefore 'periods' is the right choice. Other options are irrelevant in the given context. Choice (1) The Fed is wary of the consequences of an interest rate cut because that may push up inflation. Thus (1) is the right choice. Choice (1) 29, The stand taken by the politicians after the

recession was completely opposite of what they are demanding now from the Fed Reserve. Hence, 'contrast' fits the context appropriately Choice (2) The government is thinking of controlling the Fed Reserve. Therefore, 'rein in' is the expression that should be used and it makes (2) the right choice. It means to bring something/someone under control Choice (2)
