Editorials Quiz 2021-22
Information
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. 🙂
You have already completed the quiz before. Hence you can not start it again.

Question 1 of 5
Section 69A of the IT Act was recently in news. The powers under Section 69A of the IT Act can be exercised by the Government in the interest of
- Sovereignty and integrity of India
- Security of the State
- Friendly relations with foreign States
- Preventing incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence relating to public order
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
The powers under Section 69A can be exercised only in the interest of “sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States or public order or for preventing incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence relating to above.”
Decency or morality” is a ground available under Article 19(2) of the Constitution to impose reasonable restrictions upon free speech.

Question 2 of 5
A research project has been flagged off for gathering samples for genome mapping of microorganisms in the Indian Ocean. The genome mapping in the ocean will help to
- Understand the internal working of the ecosystem of the Indian Ocean.
- Identify the factors controlling the changes in RNA and DNA of microbes in the oceans.
- Understand the adaptation of microbes to various micronutrients like nitrates, sulphates and silicates in the ocean.
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
What will the scientists learn from the genome mapping in the ocean?
This will help scientists understand the internal working of the ecosystem of the Indian Ocean. The research will enable scientists to identify the factors controlling the changes in RNA, DNA in the oceans, and various stressors impacting them. The ocean has several micronutrients like nitrates, sulphates and silicates, minerals like iron ore and zinc, and trace metals like cadmium or copper. The genome mapping will show the presence of which these microbes have adapted to, in addition to their reaction to atmospheric carbon dioxide. This will help in identifying which part of the ocean has a greater concentration of which mineral or element.
Exploring the ocean genome will enable an increase in the growing number of commercial biotechnology applications, extending from multiple anticancer treatments to cosmetics and industrial enzymes, to antiviral molecules… Exploration of the ocean at a genetic level will result in new insights into taxonomy and adaptive capacity that can help optimize conservation efforts

Question 3 of 5
Consider the following statements.
- Tigris River flows through Turkey and Iraq.
- Mekong River flows through parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: a)
The Tigris is the eastern of the two great rivers that define Mesopotamia, the other being the Euphrates. The river flows south from the mountains of southeastern Turkey through Iraq and empties into the Persian Gulf.
The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China’s Yunnan Province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Question 5 of 5
Consider the following statements regarding Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF).
- Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF) was launched at the 25thUN Climate Change Conference held in Madrid, Spain.
- It is intended to facilitate a candid dialogue among major developed and developing economies and help generate the political leadership necessary to increase the supply of clean energy while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
- India is a member of the MEF.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: c)
The Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF) was launched on March 28, 2009.
The MEF originated in the Bush-era U.S. efforts to rope in major emitters.
The MEF is intended to facilitate a candid dialogue among major developed and developing economies, help generate the political leadership necessary to achieve a successful outcome at the December UN climate change conference in Copenhagen, and advance the exploration of concrete initiatives and joint ventures that increase the supply of clean energy while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
