world level in the effort to find a solution to most of the major problems, due to certain inability
to control the evolution of societies and economies, and a fairly widespread feeling of
uncertainly as to the future. The changes which have occurred between 1978 and 1980 have only
magnified the difficulties, so that today there is much talk of deterioration in the international
situation. This is immediately apparent in regard to inequalities between human beings,
whether considered as individuals or groups or nations. Overall economic disparities have not
been attenuated. In many countries, per capita gross national product remains less than $ 300,
while in others it is situated at levels ten, twenty or even thirty times higher than this amount. In
some rich countries, the average income is a hundred time higher than in the poorest countries.
Particularly drastic is the state of penury, destitution and , all too often, homelessness of those
populations that may be regarded as history’s most recent rejects: the disinherited masses of the
poorest countries. In these countries, whose economic situation is particularly critical, the
problems of hunger, disease and ignorance experienced by a large part of the population seem
to all but paralyse efforts made to copy with them.

Q-11 Whom do you call as history’s recent rejects?

Options:-

1. Homeless population

2. Ignorant population

3. Rich countries

4. Large part of population

Q-12 What was the purpose of principles adopted by the United Nations General Assembly?

Options:-

1. Obtaining results in the economic growth of developing countries

2. Permitting negotiations among nations

3. Establishing a new international economic order

4. Considering developing countries as a group

Q-13 What is apparent due to the changes occurred between 1978 and 1980?

Options:-

1. Inequality between human beings

2. Reduction in poverty

3. Support of rich countries

4. Plan adjustment
