Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions (55 to 60) :

The popular view of towns and cities in developing countries and of urbanization process is

that despite the benefits and comforts it brings, the emergence of such cities connotes

environmental degradation, generation of slums and squatters, urban poverty, unemployment,

crimes, lawlessness, traffic chaos etc. But what is the reality ? Given the unprecedental increase

in urban population over the last 50 years from 300 million in 1950 to 2 billion in 2000 in

developing countries, the wonder really is how well the world has coped, and not how badly.

In general, the urban quality of life has improved in terms of availability of water and

sanitation, power, health and education, communication and transport. By way of illustration, a

large number of urban residents have been provided with improved water in urban areas in

Asia’s largest countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Philippines. Despite that, the access

to improved water in terms of percentage of total urban population seems to have declined

during the last decade of 20th century, though in absolute numbers, millions of additional

urbanites, have been provided improved services. These countries have made significant

progress in the provision of sanitation services too, together, providing for an additional

population of more than 293 million citizens within a decade (1990-2000). These improvements

must be viewed against the backdrop of rapidly increasing urban population, fiscal crunch and

strained human resources and efficient and quality-oriented public management.

55. The popular view about the process of urbanization in developing countries is

(A) Positive (B) Negative

Ans. 55 | B

56. The average annual increase in the number of urbanites in developing countries, from 1950

to 2000 A.D. was close to

(A) 30 million (B) 40 million

Ans. 56 | A

57. The reality of urbanization is reflected in

(A) How well the situation has been managed.

(B) How badly the situation has gone out of control.

(D) How fast the environment has degraded.

Ans. 57 | A

58. Which one of the following is not considered as an indicator of urban quality of life ?

(A) Tempo of urbanization (B) Provision of basic services

Ans. 58 | A

59. The author in this passage has tried to focus on

(A) Extension of Knowledge

(B) Generation of Environmental Consciousness

(D) Descriptive Statement

Ans. 59 | C

60. In the above passage, the author intends to state

(A) The hazards of the urban life (B) The sufferings of the urban life

Ans. 60 | D
