Time limit: 0

Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.

We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.

We will be posting 5 MCQs at 11am everyday from Monday to Saturday on http://www.insightsonindia.com. QUED will be available under QUIZ menu.

We hope students utilize this initiative to the best of advantage.  🙂

  2. 2. Question

    Bioplastics can be made from

    1. Corn
    2. Sugarcane
    3. Yeast

    Select the correct answer code:


    Correct

    Solution: d)

    Bioplastics are made wholly or in part from renewable biomass sources such as sugarcane and corn, or from microbe such as yeast. Some bioplastics are biodegradable or even compostable, under the right conditions.

    Bioplastics made from renewable resources can be naturally recycled by biological processes, thus limiting the use of fossil fuels and protecting the environment. Therefore, bioplastics are sustainable, largely biodegradable, and biocompatible. Today, bioplastics have become a necessity in many industrial applications such as food packaging, agriculture and horticulture, composting bags, and hygiene.

  3. 3. Question

    Consider the following statements.

    1. A gyreis a circular ocean current formed by Earth’s wind patterns and the forces created by the rotation of the planet.
    2. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) consists of the Kuroshio, North Pacific, California, and North Equatorial currents.
    3. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) moves in anti-clockwise direction.

    Which of the above statements is/are correct?


    Correct

    Solution: a)

    There are some water currents in the oceans that, driven by winds and the Coriolis force, form loops. These are called gyres. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is one such, located just north of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. It consists of the Kuroshio, North Pacific, California, and North Equatorial currents and moves in a clockwise direction. These currents flow adjacent to 51 Pacific Rim countries. Any trash that enters one of these currents, from any of these countries, could become part of the gyre.
