Questions: 11 – 20
Read the following passage and answer the given questions. Certain words/phrases are given in quotes to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. There is a market failure in cyber security. Solutions being suggested or “tried” include increasing transparency about data losses, helping consumers and firms to make more informed decisions about cyber security; shedding more light on how Internet Service Providers (ISPs) tackle malware infections they spot on customers’ computers; and using liability laws to force software companies to produce safer code. In transparency, America has led the way. Almost all American states now have data-breach laws that require firms to reveal any loss of sensitive customer information. In Europe telecom firms have been obliged to notify customers of breaches for some time now, and there are plans to extend reporting to a wider range of industries. Breach laws have ecouraged insurance companies to offer coverage against potential losses. This is helpful because they are in a position to gather and share information about best practices across a wide range of companies. A cyberinsurer advises companies on defensive tactics, and also in how to minimise the damage if something goes wrong. The American government should create a cyber-equivalent of the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates serious accidents and shares information about them. Such a body could look into all breaches that cost over $50m and make sure the lessons are shared widely. But insurers are likely to remain wary of taking on “broader” risks because the costs associated with a “serious” cyber-incident could be astronomic. Insurers can deal with acts of God, but not with acts of Anonymous (hacking groups or acts of state-sponsored hacking). This explains why the overall cyber-insurance market is still small. Governments are weighing in too, not least by supporting private-sector efforts to clean up ‘botnets’, or networks of compromised computers controlled by hackers. These networks, which are prevalent in countries such as America and China, can be used to launch attacks and spread malware. In Germany an initiative called Bot-Frei, which helps people clean up heir infected computers, received government support to get started, though it is now self-financing. The American government has also worked closely with private firms to bring down large botnets. Another strategy involves issuing standards to encourage improved security. America’s National Institute of Standards and Technology published a set of voluntary guidelines for companies in critical infrastructure sectors such as energy and transport. Britain has also launched a scheme called ‘cyber-essentials’ under which firms can apply for a certificate showing they comply with certain minimum security standards. Applicants undergo an external audit and, if successful, are awarded a badge which they can use on marketing materials. Whether governments are best placed to set minimum standards is debatable, but they have certainly raised awarenes of cyber security as an issue that needs attention. They could also help to get more information into the public domain. Researchers have argued persuasively that collecting and publishing data about the quantity of spam and other bad traffic handled by ISPs could encourage the worst performers to do more to tackle the problem, thus improving overall security. Another debate has revolved around getting software companies to produce code with fewer flaws in it. One idea is to make them liable for damage caused when, say, hackers exploit a weakness in a software program. Most software companies currently insist customers accept end-user licensing agreements that specifically protect firms from legal claims unless local laws prohibit such exclusions. The snag is that imposing blanket liability could have a “chilling” effect on innovation. Companies that are selling millions of copies of programmes might take fright at the potential exposure and leave the business. Strict liability be applied only to firms which produce software that cannot be patched if a security flaw is found. There is quite a lot of that sort of code around.

Questions: 21 – 30
In the given passage there are words highlighted in quotes. You have to decide if the word is correct (in terms of grammar and context). If not, find out the appropriate word/group of words from the given options. In case, the suggested word is correct, mark the option ‘The given word is correct’ as your answer. Everyone knows that (1) “sustenance” brainboxes is good for the economy. In Thailand, school reformers have an extra incentive to narrow (2) “contrasting” between rich people in cities and their poorer rural cousins, which have (3) “fulfilled” to a decade of political tension and occasional eruption of violence. For years shoddy teaching has favored urban children whose parents can afford to send them to cramming schools or to study abroad. Dismal instruction in the countryside has made it easier for city slickers from posh colleges to paint their political opponents as pliable bumpkins. The dangerous social divide is all the more reason to (4) “worry” about Thailand’s poor rating in an educational league table published in December. Thailand limped into the bottom quarter of 70 countries whose pupils participated in the mathematics, reading and science tests organised under the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). It’s scores have (5) “crushed” since a previous assessment in 2012, which researchers found that almost one-third of the country’s 15-year-olds were ‘functionally illiterate’, including almost half of those studying in rural schools. Thailan d’s (6) “error” performance is not dramatically out of step with countries of similar incomes. But it is strange given its usually generous (7) “allocation” on education, which in some years have hoovered up more than a quarter of the budget. Rote learning is common. There is a shortage of maths and science teachers, but a (8) “overflow” of physical-education instructors. Many head teachers lack the authority to hire or fire their own staff. A big problem is that Thailand spends too much money propping up small schools, where teaching is the poorest. Almost half of Thai schools have fewer than 120 students, and most of those have less than one teacher per class. Opening lots of village schools once helped Thailand (9) “achieve” impressive attendance rates, but road-building and other improvements in infrastructure mean most schools are now within 20 minutes of another. Over the next ten years falling birth rates will reduce school rolls by more than 1m, making it even more (10) “fulfilled” for tiny institutions to provide adequate instruction at a reasonable cost.
