Question

25. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows :

Democracy is based on political equality and all individuals have equal right to choose their representative.

But along with this (political equality) we can see growing economic inequality among the individuals. A

small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes. Due to this reason,

their share in total income of the country is increasing. On the other hand, the income of poor is declining. Sometimes they (poor) find it difficult to meet their

basic needs of life, such as food, clothing, house, education and health. Though poor constitute a large

proportion of voters, yet the democratic governments are not keen to take up the question of poverty.

The situation is much worse in some other countries, like Bangladesh where more than half of its

population lives in poverty, even people of poor countries are now dependent on the rich countries for food

supplies.

Sulfuric acid is sometimes referred to as the “king of chemicals” because it is produced worldwide in such large quantities. In fact, per capita use of sulfuric acid has been taken as one index of the technical development of a country. Annual production in the United States, which is the world’s leading producer, is well over 39 billion kg (86 billion pounds). It is the cheapest bulk acid.
