71 Read the following text and choose /pick the correct answer in each of the following questions . (Q.Nos. 71 to 75) Globalization has today become a 'buzzword'. Though it first appeared in Oxford English Dictionary in 1952, but its process is as old as the history of mankind. By globalization is meant "a ceaseless flow of goods and services, concepts, and ideas across the globe". This definition differs from others in that; first, it does not refer either to the 'national boundaries' or to the 'state restrictions'; and secondly, it implies that globalization has been a perennial phenomenon. It is usually believed that it is a post Second World War phenomenon; and it emerged after the lifting of 'state restrictions' by different nations within their national boundaries' for the flow of goods and services, concepts and ideas, et cetera. It is to be noted that such restrictions were more strictly introduced after the First World War. Anthropologically speaking, the flow of goods and services, concepts and ideas, et cetera, has been an unfailing feature of mankind, ever since his appearance on earth. Long before any of the states had emerged on this globe, or any of the 'national boundaries' had been demarcated in any continent, the concepts, the ideas, and the goods and services travelled from one place to another, irrespective of the time and distance involved in it. We know it with all certainty that over 40 thousand years back, the ancestors of modern American Indians from Central Asia had passed through the Siberian Desert and reached Alaska, i.e. the New World, via the Bering Strait. Similarly, the Negrito racial belt that starts from Andaman Island and ends in Tasmania, speak volumes of human migration that have taken during the prehistoric times. Then, there were no 'national boundaries'; hence, no 'state restriction' whatsoever. The accounts of all the ancient civilizations of the Old World suggest that the carries of these great civilizations moved from one part of the globe to the other; and exchanged goods and services, concepts and ideas with one another without any state restriction. The Buddhism, the Christianity, and the Islam emerged at their respective times and spaces; however, their messages knew no 'national boundaries', and reached far off lands from the lands of their origins. During the medieval time also, the famous 'Silk Route' bridged the gap between the east and the west, and the north and the south.

71. What is globalization
Free flow of goods, services, and ideas throughout the globe.
Cessation of flow of goods, services, and ideas throughout the globe.
Restricted flow of goods, services, and ideas throughout the globe.
Limited flow of goods, services, and ideas throughout the globe.

72. Anthropologically speaking, when did globalization emerge on this planet
Ever since man's appearance on earth.
Since the First World War.
Since the Second World war.
Since the medieval period.

73. What is meant by 'state restriction'
Restrictions imposed by citizens of a state
Restrictions imposed by the state.
Restrictions imposed on a state by the neighbouring state.
Restrictions imposed by a conquering state.

74. Who are the First Americans
The Europeans who migrated to the New World after Columbus discovered it.
The Africans who were taken as slaves by the Europeans during the age of slavery.
The Central Asians who crossed the Bering Strait through the Siberian Desert.
The ancient Egyptians who crossed the Atlantic and reached the New World.

75. What is meant by 'national boundaries'
The physical and the political boundary of a country.
The physical boundary of a continent.
The physical boundary of a city.
The physical boundary of a big island.
