Read the following passage about modern

piracy and its challenges and choose the best
answer to each of the following questions from
23 to 30.
Modern piracy represents a persistentchallenge to international law and
maritime security. While often romanticized in fiction, piracy at sea carries
serious consequences, including economic disruption, human rights
abuses, and threats to global trade. The International Maritime Bureau
reported 115 piracy incidents worldwide in 2022, highlighting the ongoing
need for international cooperation to combat this maritime crime. These
incidents ranged from low-level theft to more serious crimes like hijackings
and kidnapping for ransom, primarily concentrated in regions like the Gulf
of Guinea and the Strait of Malacca.

The legal framework for addressing piracy is founded upon the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), adopted in 1982.
Thistreaty establishes the high seas as a global common, where all states
have the freedom of navigation, overflight, and other lawful uses. UNCLOS
grants all states jurisdiction to seize pirate vessels on the high seas, arrest
the pirates, and seize their property. This universal jurisdiction is crucial
because it allows any nation to act against piracy, regardless of where the
act occurs or the nationality of the perpetrators.

Despite this legal framework, prosecuting pirates presents significant

challenges. Gathering evidence on the high seas can be difficult, and
jurisdictional disputes can arise between states regarding the apprehension
and trial of pirates. Furthermore, the root causes of piracy, such as poverty,
lack of economic opportunities, and weak governance in coastal states,
often remain unaddressed.

Ultimately, combating modern piracy demands a multifaceted approach.

This includes strengthening international cooperation, improving maritime
security measures, and addressing the socio-economic factors that
contribute to piracy. This requires collaboration between states,
international organizations, and the shipping industry to create a safer and
more secure maritime environment for all.

Read the following passage about global

nutrition and its impact on health and choose
the best answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 40.
Nutrition plays a vital role in global health outcomes, impacting everything
from individual well-being to economic productivity. [I] Malnutrition,
encompassing both undernutrition and overnutrition, continues to be a
significant global challenge. [II] Over 2 billion people worldwide suffer from
micronutrient deficiencies, while millions of children experience stunted
growth due to chronic malnutrition. [III] Addressing these issues is crucial
for breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting sustainable development.
These challenges are further complicated by factors like conflict and
climate change, which can disrupt food systems and bring about
widespread food insecurity. [IV]

Food insecurity, mentioned above, is a pressing concern, particularly in

low- and middle-income countries. It refers to the lack of consistent access
to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for a healthy and active life. This can
manifest in various forms, ranging from chronic undernourishment to
periodic shortages during times of crisis. The consequences of food
insecurity are far-reaching, affecting physical health, cognitive
development, and economic productivity. For example, regions
experiencing prolonged food shortages often see higher rates of childhood
mortality and reduced educational attainment. Investing in sustainable
agriculture, strengthening social safety nets, and improving access to
nutritious food are essential steps in mitigating the negative impacts of food
insecurity.

Furthermore, the double burden of malnutrition, characterized by the

coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition within the same community
or even household, is a growing public health concern, particularly in
rapidly developing countries. This often involves micronutrient-deficient
populations consuming energy-dense, nutrient-poor processed foods,
leading to obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases like
diabetes and heart disease alongside persistent undernutrition. This
complex challenge requires comprehensive interventions that address both
ends of the nutritional spectrum, promoting healthy diets, increasing access
to nutritious foods, and addressing underlying social and economic factors
that contribute to poor dietary choices.

The global health implications of nutrition are multifaceted and require a

collaborative approach. Investing in nutrition research, strengthening health
systems, and implementing effective interventions are crucial for improving
global health outcomes. By prioritizing nutrition-sensitive policies and
programs, we can create a healthier and more equitable world for all.

considered.
2. Malnutrition, including overnutrition and undernutrition, poses a
significant global issue, particularly in developed countries. This
involves deficiencies coupled with excessive consumption, increasing
concerns like obesity and heart conditions. Effective responses to
both aspects are necessary.
3. The combination of undernutrition with overnutrition is a rising global
health problem, particularly in rapidly industrializing nations. The
consumption of energy-dense foods leads to health issues alongside
micronutrient deficiencies, therefore requiring extensive policy
interventions.
4. The double burden of malnutrition, featuring both undernutrition and
overnutrition, is a growing concern, especially in developing nations.
This involves consuming nutrient-poor processed foods, leading to
issues like obesity and diet-related diseases alongside existing
undernutrition. This complex problem necessitates comprehensive

countries with abundant food supplies.
3. Conflict and climate change are the least significant factors
contributing to global food insecurity.
 4. Food insecurity always leads to chronic undernourishment but rarely
results in periodic food shortages.

Question 40

Which of the following best summarises the passage?

1. Global malnutrition, including undernutrition and overnutrition,

presents a significant challenge, exacerbated by issues like food
insecurity and conflict. Addressing this requires comprehensive
strategies, from promoting healthy diets and sustainable agriculture
to strengthening healthcare systems and considering social and
economic factors.
2. Food insecurity, driven by conflict and climate change, is a major
global health concern, especially in low-income countries. Tackling
this involves improving access to nutritious food and investing in
agricultural practices, with a focus on community health programs.
3. Primarily impacting developing nations, malnutrition and food
insecurity are severe problems needing immediate solutions.
