Select the correct answer from the options for the following questions. Indians as a community have always been known to be resourceful and hardworking, and it is clearly demonstrated by the students heading abroad for undergraduate or higher studies. More than ever before, the youth are switching over from a bank-loan to self financing of their studies almost invariably from the second year if not within the first six months of joining a foreign university. Part-time jobs at gas stations, restaurants, kitchens, baby-sitting, car-cleaning, fruit-picking during the harvest season - nothing seems difficult to the able bodies youth. In the recent years, along with fees, the quantum of loans has gone up. Some banks have seen nearly 50% of their clients (mostly students) becoming self-sufficient after the first tranche of the loan allocated to them. Even the number of undergraduate students who reduce their dependence on institutional support is estimated to have grown by 20-25% Estimates have also revealed that while students do seek a loan for the entire spell of two to five years, depending on the programme that they have enrolled in, smarter children have invariably succeeded in bagging an assistantship or a part-time job which helps them to fund either completely or partially the remaining spell of their studies. Questions True or false: 1 This passage discusses about all students studying abroad. 2 As soon as students join the university, funding no longer remains a problem. 3 The youth prefer jobs which can be easily done.

Make a précis in about 1/3 of the following passage. The internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information. With the click of a button, we can connect with people around the world, share ideas, and stay informed about current events. This instant access to vast amounts of information has both positive and negative implications. On the positive side, it allows for unprecedented global connectivity and the democratization of knowledge.
