Direction for Reading Comprehension : Read the passage carefully and pick the option whose answer best aligns with the passage.
The evolution of the development of nuclear energy has standardised certain obligations that operators and regulators are enjoined to perform. While operation have entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the highest safety standards to ensure that they are followed without any deviations and undertake their obligations. In order for the operator to perform this role, it must have the requisite engineering, financial and management capability to built, manage and operate following the highest safety standards. Besides safety which primarily aims at avoiding all major and minor accidents, security issues of nuclear materials are also matters of huge concern to the international community.
This is today gaining equal, if not more attention as it is feared that terror groups could try to either destroy plants to release radioactive material to steal nuclear material to be used later. Therefore, along safety measures designed to accidents, there is an equal need to security measures drawing on and pooling the technological resources available. The need for international cooperation is bound to the aim of commissioning of new nuclear power and fuel facilities becoming brighter. The international related practices in the form of intelligence and threat assessment are still in the stage. There are, however, difficulties in evolving such a cooperative architecture.
Security issues of nuclear materials are of huge concerns among international community. What are the main reasons for that?
1. Evolution of development of nuclear energy.
2. Uncontrolled nuclear operators across the globe.
3. Past nuclear accidents due to security lapses.

Question 3:

Feeling of hopelessness among medieval workers trapped in the poverty cycle gradually lessened as it became possible for women’s labour to supplement a family’s money income by more than pennies. By 1300, women spinners could be found working on their own for wealthy sponsors, even after the introduction in Italy and France of prohibition against advancing money for supplies to women spinners.
Historians have usually interpreted this prohibition simply as evidence of women’s economic subjection, since it obliged them to turn to usurers; however, it was also almost certainly a response to a trend toward differential reward for women’s higher skill. Yarn can be spun irregularly and lumpily, but perfectly smooth yarn is worth more. Working for merchant entrepreneurs on time rates, women had been paid hardly more than children; working as entrepreneurs themselves and producing good work by the piece, they could break into the rational system of differential rewards.

1.Women spinners were irrationally rewarded for their work by the merchant entrepreneurs.
2.Women in medieval Europe were largely subjected to economic denial with prohibitions imposed upon them.
3.Women were not satisfied with the considerations given to them for their work.
4.The impositions upon women’s labour gave them a thrust to work as independent entrepreneurs.
