Comprehension for SBI PO, NIACL
Directions (Q. 1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
On 8 November 2016, the government demonetised currency notes of two denominations: Rs.500 and Rs.1000. Together, currency notes of these denominations had accounted for more than 85 per cent of the total value of banknotes in circulation. Demonetisation caused a cashcrunch and forced the government to push for electronics payments and transfers. Though the main pitch of demonetisation was towards curbing financing of terrorism and eliminating black money, a major shift towards a cashless economy emerged as a necessity. In fact, in his 'Mann Ki Baat' address to the nation on 27 November 2016, Prime Minister declared, 'Our dream is that there should be a cashless society. This is correct that 100 per cent cashless society is never possible. But we can make a start with a less-cash society, and then cashless society will not be a far-off destination.'

English Quiz- Comprehension
(Q1-10): Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Nature is like business. Business sense dictates that we guard our capital and live from the interest. Nature's capital is the enormous diversity of living things. Without it, we cannot feed ourselves, cure ourselves of illness or provide industry with the raw materials of wealth creation. Professor Edward Wilson, of Harvard University says, "The folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us is the ongoing loss of genetic and species diversity. This will take millions of years to correct."
Only 150 plant species have ever been widely cultivated. Yet over 75,000 edible plants are known in the wild. In a hungry world, with a population growing by 90 million each year, so much wasted potential is tragic. Medicines from the wild are worth around 40 billion dollars a year. Over 5000 species are known to yield chemical with cancer fighting potential Scientists currently estimate that the total number of species in the world is between 10-30 million with only around 1.4 million identified.
The web of life is torn when mankind exploits natural resources in short-sighted ways. The trade in tropical hardwoods can destroy whole forests to extract just a few commercially attractive specimens. Bad agricultural practice triggers 24 billion tonnes of top soil erosion a year losing the equivalent of 9 million tonnes of grain output. Cutting this kind of unsuitable exploitation and instituting "sustainable utilisation" will help turn the environmental crisis around.
