NABARD Grade A – English Language

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
The evolution of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has been as profound as it has
been rapid. It represents the more visible sign that the boundaries between personal life
and work life are blurring. The 9 am to 5 pm model of working solely from office has
become archaic and increasingly people are working extended hours from a range of
locations. At the very heart of this evolution is, the ability to access enterprise networks
from anywhere and anytime. The concept of cloud computing serves effectively to extend
the office out of office. The much heralded benefit of BYOD is greater productivity.
However, recent research has suggested that this is the greatest myth of BYOD and the
reality is that BYOD in practice poses new challenges that may outweigh the benefits
A worldwide survey commissioned by Fortinet chose to look at attitudes towards BYOD
and security from the users point of view instead of the IT managers. Specifically the survey was conducted in 15 territories on a group of graduate employees in their early
twenties because they represent the first generation to enter the work place with an
expectation of own device use. Moreover, they also represent to tomorrow’s in luencers
and decision makers. The survey findings reveal that for financial organizations, the
decision to embrace BYOD is extremely dangerous. Larger organizations will have
mature IT strategies and policies in place. But what about, smaller financial businesses?
They might not have such well-developed strategies to protect confidential data.
Crucially, within younger employee group, 55% of the people share an expectation that
they should be allowed to use their own devices in the workplace or for work purposes.
With this expectation comes the very real risk that employees may consider contravening
company policy threats posed by this level of subversion cannot be overstated. The
survey casts doubt on the idea of BYOD leading to greater productivity
by revealing the real reason people want to use their own devices. Only 26% of people in
this age group cite efficiency as the reason they want to use their own devices, while 63%
admit that the main reason is so they have access to their favourite applications. But with
personal applications so close to hand, the risks to the business must surely include
distraction and time wasting. To support this assumption 46% of people polled
acknowledged time wasting as the greatest threat to the organization, while 42% citing
greater exposure to theft or loss of confidential data. Clearly, from a user perspective
there is great deal of contradiction surrounding BYOD and there exists an undercurrent of
selfishness where users expect to use their own devices, but mostly for personal interest.
The recognize the risks to the organization but are adamant that those risks are worth
taking.

Question- According to the passage, the expectation of younger employees that they
should be allowed to use their own devices in the work place, entails which of the
following risks?
1. Younger employees may deliberately transfer confidential data of their companies to
rivals if they are not allowed to use their own devices for work purpose.                                                                                 2. Younger employees may strongly feel like leaving the company if it prevents usage of
own device and join some other company that does not have such stringent policies.
3. Younger employees may consider flouting company policy prohibiting usage of their
own devices in the workplace or for work purposes.
(a) Only 3
(b) Only 2
(c) Both 1 and 3
(d) Only l
(e) All 1,2 and 3

Question- Which of the following is not true about BYOD?

office has become outdated
(c) Recent research has confirmed that BYOD boosts organizational productivity
(d) The concept of cloud computing facilitates the BYOD trend
(e) All the given facts are true

Question- According to the passage, why would the decision to embrace BYOD prove
dangerous to smaller financial businesses?
(a) Their employees have poor knowledge about their devices which in turn pose
a threat to the confidential data of the organization.
(b) Their employees are more vulnerable to misplacement of devices
(c) They may lack mature TT strategies and policies required to protect confidential data
(d) They cannot afford to deal with damage liability issues of employee owned devices.
(e) Their employees have a tendency to change jobs frequently

Question- According to the passage, for which of the following reasons did Fortinet
conduct the survey on a group of graduate employees in their early twenties?
1. As this group represents the future decision makers.
2. As this group represents the first generation who entered the workforce with a better
understanding of sophisticated gadgets.
3. As this group represents the first generation to enter the workplace expecting that they
can use their own devices for work purpose.
(a) All 1, 2 and 3
(b) Only 3
(c) Both I and 3
(d) Only
(e) Only 2

Question- According to the findings of the survey conducted by Fortinet, why do
majority of employees prefer using their own devices for work purpose?
(a) As they often find that the devices provided by the company lack quality
(b) As they have access to their favourite applications while working
(c) As majority of them believe that output doubles when they use their own devices
for work purpose
(d) As handling data from their own devices reinforces their sense of responsibility
(e) As it helps them create a brand of their own

Question- What is/are the author’s main objectives in writing the passage?
1. To break the myth that BYOD promotes employee efficiency and organizational
productivity
2. To suggest ways to control subversion across levels of corporate chain of command.
3. To throw light upon the fact that employees even after knowing the risks involved,
prefer to use their own devices for work purpose mostly for personal benefits.

Directions: Rearrange The Following Sections Into A Meaningful Paragraph And
Answer The Questions Given Below:
A. Unless, that is, Ethereum becomes the plaything of an imaginary kitten. Like all

itself, Ethereum is useless as a medium of exchange because the price fluctuates
violently and unpredictably.
B. Last month a plague of kittens brought down one of the most fashionable
cryptocurrencies on the internet.
C. Had Ethereum been a real currency, this would have been as if the Beanie Baby
craze of the last century had crashed the world’s credit card system.
D. But of course Ethereum is not a real currency, and neither is bitcoin; nor are Ripple,
Monero, Litecoin, Dogecoin, or any of the other thousands of cryptocurrencies that
are the focus of intense speculation today.
E. This might not have been news, except that the cryptocurrency, Ethereum, bills
itself as “the world computer” – a distributed program that can replace large parts of
both the legitimate banking system and the legal system itself, since contracts can be
written into computer code.
F. But it turns out to be an excellent medium for the propagation of imaginary kittens
and when a small Canadian company introduced a game that let players buy and
breed cartoon cats, the resulting popularity brought the whole network briefly to its
knees.

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you located them while
answering some of the questions.
Financial Inclusion (FI) is an emerging priority for banks that have nowhere else to go to
achieve business growth. The viability of FI business is under question, because while
banks and their delivery partners continue to make investments, they haven’t seen
commensurate returns. In markets like India, most programs are focused on customer on
boarding, an expensive process which people often find difficult to afford, involving
issuance of smart cards to the customers. However, large scale customer acquisition
hasn’t translated into large scale business. With many accounts lying dormant and
therefore yielding no return on the bank’s investment. For the same reason, Business
Correspondent Agents who constitute the primary channel for financial inclusion are
unable to pursue their activity as a full time job. One major reason for this slate of events
is that the customer on boarding process is often delayed after the submission of
documents (required to a validate the details of the concerned applicant) by the applicant
and fright take as long as two weeks. By this time the initial enthusiasm of applicants fades
away. Moreover, the delivery partners don’t have the, knowledge and skill to Propose
anything other than the most basic financial products to the customer and hence do
not serve their banks’ goal of expanding the offering in unbanked markets.
Contrary to popular perception, the inclusion segment is not a singular impoverished,
undifferentiated mass and it is important to navigate its diversity to identify the right
target customers for various programs. Rural markets do have their share of rich people
who do not use banking services simply because they are inconvenient to access or have
low perceived value. At the same time, urban markets, despite a high branch density, have
multitude of low wage earners outside the financial net. Moreover, the branch timings of
banks rarely coincide with the off work hours of the labour class.
Creating affordability is crucial in tapping the unbanked market. No doubt pricing is a tool,
but banks also need to be innovative in right-sizing their proposition to convince
customers that they can derive big value even from small amounts. One way of doing this
is to show the target audience that a bank account is actually a lifestyle enabler, a
convenient and safe means to send money to family or make variety of purchases. Once
banks succeed in hooking customers with this value proposition they must sustain their
interest by introducing simple and intuitive user application, ubiquitous access over
mobile and other touch points, and adopting a banking mechanism which is not only
secure but also reassuring to the customer. Technology is the most important element of
financial inclusion strategy and an enabler of all others. The choice of technology is
therefore a crucial decision, which could make or mar the agenda. Of the various selection criteria, cost is perhaps the most important. This certainly does not mean buying
the cheapest package, but rather choosing that solution which by scaling transactions to
huge volumes reduces per unit operating cost. An optimal mix of these strategies would
no doubt offer an innovative means of expansion in the unbanked market.

Question- Which of the following facts is true as per the passage?
(a) People from rural areas have high perceived value of banking service
(b) Cost is not a valid criterion for technological package selection for financial inclusion
initiatives.
(c) The inclusion segment is a singular impoverished, undifferentiated ir.ass
(d) The branch timings of banks, generally do not coincide with the off work hours
of the labour class in urban markets.
(e) All the given statements are true

Question- According to the passage, for which of the following reasons do the delivery
partners fail to serve their bank’s goal to expand in the unbanked markets?
1. They do not have adequate client base to sell their financial products.
2. They do not have adequate knowledge and skills to explain anything beyond basic
financial products to the customers.
3. They do not have the skills to operate advanced technological aids that are a
prerequisite to tap the unbanked market.
(a) Only 2
(b) Only 3
(c) All 1, 2 and 3
(d) Only
(e) Both 2 and 3

Question- According to the passage, which of the following ways may help banks to sustain the interest of their customers after hooking them?

(a) Only 1
(b) Only 3
(c) Only 2
(d) All 1, 2 and 3
(e) Both 1 and 3

details.
(b) It involves issuance of smart cards to the customers.
(c) It suffers from latency as it takes a long time after submission of documents by the
customer.
(d) It is an expensive process which people find difficult to afford
(e) All of the given characteristics have been specified

Question- What did the author try to highlight in the passage?
1. The ailing condition of financial inclusion business at present

(a) Both 1 and 2
(b) All 1, 2 and 3
(c) Only 3
(d) Only 1
(e) Only 2

Question- According to the passage, for which of the following reasons is the viability
of financial inclusion under question?

activity as a full time job
