Other factors favouring the mass press include the adoption of printing techniques, which introduced long runs; circulation by railways and other fast means of transport; the financial support provided by advertising; and, not least, the increased flow of up-to-date news transmitted by telegraph, telephones, fax and e-mail services.

Read the following passage and select the correct answers (From Q. No. 96 to Q. No. 100)

Man has taken water for granted, for water is, by and large, a free commodity. The rate at which man has been consuming this raw material will sooner or later exhaust the entire stock of water in certain parts of the world. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that the World Bank proposes a water tariff, and a steeply progressive water tariff aHhat. It should, in the opinion of many experts, be commensurate with the relative abundance or scarcity of water in the location, the relative usefulness of the water -intensive process or product, and the degree to which it causes water pollution. A water tariff should be designed to make the wasters pay for waste and the polluters for pollution.

a very expensive commodity

a rarely free commodity

a mostly free commodity

an easily available commodity
