If at one time, one knew the positions and velocities of all the particles in the universe, the laws of science should enable us to calculate their positions and velocities at any other time, past or future.B. These laws may or may not have been ordained by God, but scientific determinism asserts that he does not intervene to break them.C. But it was Newton’s Principia Mathematica in 1687, containing his theory of universal gravitation that made the laws quantitative and precise.D. A qualitative understanding of the laws has been the aim of philosophers and scientists, from Aristotle onwards.E. This led to the idea of scientific determinism, which seems first to have been expressed by Laplace.

These numbers are printed below the passage against each, four words are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case. The economics of owning and running a Ration Shop, the familiar name for the outlets in ourPublic Distribution System (PDS), are such that under normal business terms, the shopownercould never make a profit. Yet, whenever the government announces that new permits for rationshops will be given out, there is frenzy in the market to grab one of these (1)? The answer isobvious, the business is not for the honest and if one knows the ropes, there is a fortune to be made. What are these tricks of the trade? Getting fake names into the user list is the most obvious option; the State seems to be a losing battle against this practice, judging by the endless efforts to weed out bogus ration cards. The next is to get the ‘right customers’ on the list, not just more customers. These are people who are registered but who do not have any interest in (2) on their entitlements. In a system where caste and income certificates are for sale, it is not difficult to ‘produce’ these documents for mutual benefit. Receipts are duly made in their names, and the rations thus ‘drawn’ are (3) off into the open market. The sale price of an item like rice makes clear the underlying economics—it costs Rs. 8 in a ration shop while in the latter it is Rs. 30 or above. There are also customers who would rather exchange their entitlements for hard cash at the beginning of the month. As the degradation progresses, the shopkeeper, in (4) with the official machinery, manages to withhold effectively the entitlements from even the genuine beneficiaries, and diverts them to the open market. The targeted group is usually not in a position to (5) itself to get its due. And thus one has all the ingredients of a good PDS business. (a) where (b) when (c) what (d) why None 2 .
