'Geronimo' was the code name given to which of the following individual by US administration ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Geronimo was the code name that the US administration used for Osama bin Laden, the Al Qaeda leader killed in the raid at Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011.

Col. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were Libyan and Iraqi rulers who had other operations directed at them, and Mustafa Abu al-Yazid was an Al Qaeda commander in Afghanistan. None of them carried that code name, so option C is correct.

Reading the stem again with the keyed option in place confirms that it fits, while each of the other options fails on the point given above.

Which of the following is the last country to join SAARC ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The last country of the options to join SAARC was Afghanistan, which became the eighth member in 2007 at the New Delhi summit.

The Maldives was a founding member when SAARC was set up in 1985. Myanmar was not a member of SAARC then and East Timor is not a member. So of the countries named, Afghanistan joined last, and option B is correct.

Reading the stem again with the keyed option in place confirms that it fits, while each of the other options fails on the point given above.

Reason (R) : Under economic globalization, an economic elite will emerge as most powerful, leaving the rest behind.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The keyed answer is that both statements are true. Economic globalisation does speed the spread of ideas and technology to states and people around the world, and it is also argued that its benefits are captured by an economic elite, leaving others behind.

Option B says both are false and option C says the Reason is false, while option D says the Assertion is false. Given that both are accepted as true, none of these can hold, so option A is correct.

Reading the stem again with the keyed option in place confirms that it fits, while each of the other options fails on the point given above.

b. Man, State and Warii. Barry Buzan

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The correct match is People, States and Fear with Barry Buzan (ii), Man, State and War with Kenneth Waltz (i), Invisible Armies with Stephen Segglar as printed (iv), and The End of History and the Last Man with Francis Fukuyama (iii). That is the code ii, i, iv, iii.

The other codes mismatch at least the two clearest pairs: Waltz wrote Man, State and War, and Fukuyama wrote The End of History, but codes (B), (C) and (D) give those books to other authors.

Which of the following was considered as example of maritime terrorism ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The attack on the USS Cole is the example of maritime terrorism. In October 2000 a small boat packed with explosives rammed the US Navy destroyer while it was refuelling in the port of Aden, killing 17 sailors, and the attack was attributed to al-Qaeda.

The 9/11 attacks used hijacked aircraft, the Bali bombing struck a nightclub district and the December 2001 attack on India's Parliament was a land attack. None of these took place at sea or against a vessel, so only the Cole incident fits.

Name the country from where the Global War on Terror (GWOT) was started after 9/11 ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The Global War on Terror began from Afghanistan. After the 11 September 2001 attacks the United States and its allies attacked the Taliban regime and al-Qaeda bases there in October 2001, which is taken as the start of the campaign.

Pakistan became an important partner in the campaign but was not where it started. Syria and Lebanon were not the places where military operations were first launched in response to 9/11.

'Operation Jeronimo' refers to one of the following occurrences

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

Operation Geronimo was the code name for the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011. The name Geronimo was used as the code for bin Laden himself during the operation.

The killing of Colonel Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, the removal of the Morsi government in Egypt in 2013 and the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal in the 1973 war are separate events with different names, so none of them matches.

Assertion (A) : In the contemporary security environment, the problems of illegal migration and energy security are primarily non-traditional security threats.

Reason (R) : One of the main reasons of insurgency in Assam is the problem of illegal migration from Bangladesh which tends to culminate into numerous nontraditional security threats.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). Illegal migration and energy security are generally treated as non-traditional security threats, since they concern people, resources and economies, not armies, so (A) is true. Migration from Bangladesh is widely cited as a cause of unrest in Assam, so (R) is also true.

The reason does not explain the assertion, though: it deals with one cause of insurgency in one state, while the assertion is a general claim about the kind of threats. So (A) alone being true and (R) being false, or both being false, would be wrong.
