English Quiz for Upcoming IBPS Bank Exams – Set 41 | SBI PO Pre pattern

Hello and welcome to exampundit. Here is a set of English Language Quiz for the upcoming IBPS Exams 2017.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commented (1) for making
the country digital, and paved the way for electronic payments and receipts
through applications such as the National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT),
Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM), Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and online
wallets. GoI intends to offer higher cashbacks if digital modes of payment are
adopted. This has the potential to make India a country with low degree of
corruption and black money, given that all transactions will be legitimate
(2).
But there’s a flip side. Psychologically, cash brings with it inequality(3).
By extension, cashless transactions imply irresponsibility. When we register
(4) a debit or credit card, it doesn’t really pinch. But when we pay for
something in cash, it makes us think several times, since we need to go to the
ATM or bank regularly to get cash. So, what are the disadvantages of ‘digital’
spending? At the macro level, saving takes a hit, and the economy may be
deprived of much-needed investment and capital accumulation in infrastructure
and in other sectors required to boost the rate of economic growth.
At the micro level, the spending spree enabled by cashless
transactions will imply less liquidity, and less saving for future generations.
According to the Institute of Management Development’s World Competitiveness
Centre, tech-savvy countries most digitally ready are Singapore, Sweden, the
US, Finland and Denmark. The scores are based on the country’s ability to adopt
digital technologies, leading to changes in government practices, business approaches
and society in general. India is ranked 51st here. While the average domestic
savings rate in the most tech-savvy countries is at 29%, and only at 15% in the
least techsavvy ones, the future bonding (5) of the ‘savings and
digital’ relationship is clear.
