Read the following paragraph and answer the questions:
Teresa worked as a caregiver for years and when her husband passed away she was completely lost. Fighting grief and housing instability, she turned into a junior assistant cum typist (JACT) at a university. She initially felt shame, wondering if she was worth anything. One day, her Section Officer made her as a ‘custodian’ for people and places. After that she felt noticed and appreciated, and so began 18 rewarding years in position.
This is the focal point of mattering that feeling of being valued and recognition creates value. It’s even more deeper than belonging and is critical to motivation, mental well-being, and retention. But currently, many employees feel invisible and undervalued, which leads to disengagement, burnout and low morale. In spite of investments in the workplace, a ‘mattering deficit persists because mattering is constructed through everyday human interactions, not perks or policies.
To engage mattering, leaders need to look and listen to their teams, notice difficulties, listen and ask substantive questions. Compassionate acts and follow-ups create trust. Affirming people’s strength, narrative and purpose reinforce their distinct value. Sharing impact stories, such as how JACT made spaces joyful, moves the purpose deeper. Individuals also believe that they matter when they see how small efforts relate to larger goals-such as NASA employees connecting what they do to landing a man on moon. Essentially, building a culture of mattering means leaders to consistently demonstrate to people they are noticed, heard, valued and required. It’s easy to talk about in theory, but not common practice-but revolutionary when it is executed correctly.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions:
One of numerous executive orders of the President aims to achieve global price parity for prescription drugs sold in the Country X. This move offers hope to many citizen’s burdened by high healthcare costs. Enforcing this rule in practice, however, might be challenging because it might entail into import-export rules that don’t align with existing legislation of Country X. Similar to President’s previous attempts to lower drug prices during his first term, this move could also encounter legal challenges. However, the government can take some action against large pharmaceutical companies, commonly referred to as’ Big Pharma’, by encouraging less expensive generic drugs and putting an end to unfair practices that delays their release. Perhaps, the Country X pharmaceutical companies have not yet responded negatively to it possibly because the new order has little effect on their profits.
The majority of Indian pharmaceutical exports to Country X fall into the low profit generic drugs market, which is less vulnerable to President’s regulations of Country X. Indian businesses might not receive preferential treatment for their branded medicines as the Country X might prefer to purchase them from developed countries like Germany, UK or France. Additionally, as evidenced by trade negotiation with China, the Country X views pharmaceuticals as a sensitive area and might continue imposing special import duties on them. Generic medications from India are currently free from import duties in the Country X. However it might now insist on the same tariff-free treatment for its own Pharmaceutical exports to India. Meanwhile, India has established a solid international reputation as a supplier of affordable medications. It can bargain for better trade conditions by using this image.
- What conclusion can be drawn regarding the present position of the Country X pharmaceutical industry with regard to executive order?
(a) Actively encouraging
(b) Indifferent as their margins remain unaffected
(c) Strongly opposed
(d) Already implementing it - Which of the following best sums up the significance of Indian generics for the affordability of Health care in the Country X?
A. They are less expensive
B. Country X import duties do not apply to them
C. They are mainly used to treat life-threatening diseases.
D. They contribute to lower overall healthcare costs.
E. They serve as alternatives to branded drugs.
