1 Comprehension Read the passage below and answer the questions

Direct taxes can be graded, not only by taking into account the size of a person’s income, but also considering the use
he makes of it and making suitable allowances. The proportion of taxable income may be reduced by allowances for
expenses incurred on behalf of children of school age or dependent relatives or for money spent on insurance. Such a
system of grading is not possible in case of indirect taxation. When you go to the cinema, the man who takes your
money does not ask you how much you earn, calculate the tax incurred and charge you accordingly. So that indirect
taxation is the same for all sectors of community, rich and poor alike. A drawback is that the burden of taxation on
small incomes is increased, since the obvious things to tax are those for which there is a constant pronounced demand
so as to make them almost necessities.

Question Description The levels of direct tax are decided on the basis of

A allowances for expenses on children, dependents and insurance

B differing expenditure of the rich and poor

C the size of a person’s income

D actual income, its use and appropriate allowances

E None of the above

London, the city often denigrated as 'the Smoke', is the dirtiest EU capital apart from Athens, according to a survey.
Severe traffic congestion causing high levels of air pollution and problems with rubbish collection combine to make the
city an environmental black spot. ‘These are sprawling cities with public transport problems and severe traffic
congestion, producing a detrimental effect on air quality,’ said Slagin Parakatil, senior researcher at William M.
Mercer, the consulting firm which produced the survey. ‘Waste disposal systems are also under pressure from the cities'
dense populations, making them less efficient than in other EU cities.'
Which of the following could seriously undermine the argument put forth by Mr.Parakatil, as regards London?

A New evidence has come to light which suggests that pollution levels in London have remained consistently high due to
the presence of textile industries on the outskirts of the city.

B Pollution levels in both London and Athens have been the lowest in the past month as compared to the last six months.

C Nearly 30% of the owners of two- as well as four-wheelers in London have installed pollution control technology into
their vehicles in the last 6 months.

D Pollution levels in London are high not because of traffic problems and inefficient waste disposal systems, but because
of the increasing presence of polluting industrial units within the city itself.
