Practice Questions for CLAT 2027 Logical Reasoning

Below are two passages from CLAT previous year’s question paper followed by multiple-choice questions for daily practice.

Passage 1

Students have been abuzz over how artificial intelligence tools can do their homework and programmers over how these can increase their productivity or take away their jobs. As much as digitization has transformed the country in recent years, there is a widespread feeling that at some point around the horizon, AI shall rejig everything in even more fundamental, fantastic, and frightening ways. This is why deciding how the coming changes should be regulated is very important. TRAI has made a strong case for an independent statutory authority to ensure the responsible development and use of AI in the country, a global agency along similar lines shall likely be pitched at the G20 leaders’ summit, and interestingly even American MNC Microsoft has floated a blueprint for AI governance in India. The great size and diversity of its “data points” make India of great interest to all developers of AI technologies.

But India is only at their receiving end, nowhere close to the US and China’s advances. Although lately, it is becoming obvious how much state censorship is encumbering China’s large language modeling, the country is still very much in the game with PhDs in fields related to AI, investments in AI chip hardware design, and domestic generative models like Wu Dao. The scientific accomplishments of India’s Chandrayaan mission have seen it being wooed for various international space collaborations. This promises spinoff technological benefits across Indian industry and is also geo-strategically useful. Likewise, it is only with sufficient AI prowess that India shall really get to play at the high table of global rulemaking for AI.

Knowing how much Indians’ future shall be shaped by generative AI needs matching efforts to create indigenous models. In this and at this stage, a proactive government role is key, rather than just waiting on some large corporation to do the needful. Missing this bus will after all be even more costly than missing the chip research one. Plus, GOI alone can push academia-industry collaborations with the necessary weight and urgency. This does not let other institutions off the hook. A US judge has rejected the copyright for an AI-generated artwork. Indian courts should start engaging with the broader issue of non-human agency rather than wait for precedence to be set elsewhere. Indian schools need to think beyond the ban-ChatGPT mindset. Let us lead instead of only being led.

(Extracted from “First, get the tech: Unless India develops domestic AI heft, it wouldn’t play any meaningful part in global regulatory efforts”, Times of India)

Q1. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?

(A) The best way to deal with the advancement of AI is to leave its regulation to market forces.
(B) Government-driven control of AI is inefficient and shall promote red-tapism.
(C) Private companies with their large capital and infrastructure design the most efficient AI governance models.
(D) Government-led initiatives of AI regulation and development lead to efficient outcomes.

Answer: D

Q2. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the main argument of the passage?

(A) Governments that lead the initiative on regulating and responding to the advancement of AI tools benefit the most from them.
(B) Governments that don’t engage with generative AI and remain at its receiving end stay risk-averse with nothing to lose.
(C) Governments that actively incentivise MNCs to participate in AI governance make the most out of the advancements in the field.
(D) Governments that explore models of public-private partnership strike the right balance in regulating generative AI.

Answer: A

Q3. Based only on the author’s statement that “Indian courts should start engaging with the broader issue of non-human agency rather than wait for precedence to be set elsewhere”, which of the following would the author be most likely to agree with?

(A) Courts should take the initiative by being innovative and laying down rules where no precedents exist.
(B) Courts should wait for precedents and in the meantime refrain from engaging with the challenges presented by generative AI.
(C) Courts should stop relying on precedents and decide cases on the basis of judicial wisdom.
(D) Precedents are the best possible safeguard against arbitrary decision-making.

Answer: A

Q4. If the information in the passage above is correct, which of the following must necessarily be true?

(A) AI regulation is the responsibility of the legislature alone.
(B) AI regulation is the responsibility of courts and can’t be addressed through standalone statutory rules.
(C) AI regulation is a collaborative effort involving all the institutions of the State.
(D) AI regulation is the domain of private industry.

Answer: C

Q5. Based on the author’s arguments, which of the following would result in weakening, rather than strengthening India’s position at the forefront of generative AI?

(A) Investing in indigenous AI chip hardware design and domestic generative models.
(B) Exploring spinoff technological benefits with other scientific advancements like the Chandrayaan mission.
(C) Introducing generative models like Wu Dao which have demonstrated success in other jurisdictions.
(D) Locally developing technologies such as indigenous AI models.

Answer: C

Q6. The author states that, “Missing this bus will after all be even more costly than missing the chip research one.” For this statement to be true, with which of the following statements about chip research must the author most likely agree?

(A) India lead chip research from its frontiers.
(B) India was right to leave regulation of chip industry and research to MNCs.
(C) India should have proactively played a role in responding to new research in chip technology.
(D) The failure to respond to new developments in chip technology was a bigger loss than the potential failure to regulate generative AI.

Answer: C

Practice Questions for CLAT 2027 English

Passage 1

The right kind of education consists in understanding the child as he is without imposing upon him an ideal of what we think he should be. To enclose him in the framework of an ideal is to encourage him to conform, which breeds fear and produces in him a constant conflict between what he is and what he should be: and all inward conflicts have their outward manifestations in society. If the parent loves the child, he observes him, he studies his tendencies, his moods, and peculiarities. It is only when one feels no love for the child that one imposes upon him an ideal, for then one’s ambitions are trying to fulfill themselves in him, wanting him to become this or that. If one loves, not the ideal but the child, then there is a possibility of helping him to understand himself as he is.

Ideals are a convenient escape, and the teacher who follows them is incapable of understanding his students and dealing with them intelligently; for him, the future ideal, the what should be, is far more important than the present child. The pursuit of an ideal excludes love, and without love no human problem can be solved. If the teacher is of the right kind, he will not depend on a method, but will study each individual pupil. In our relationship with children and young people, we are not dealing with mechanical devices that can be quickly repaired, but with living beings who are impressionable, volatile, sensitive, afraid, affectionate: and to deal with them, we have to have great understanding, the strength of patience and love. When we lack these, we look to quick and easy remedies and hope for marvellous and automatic results. If we are unaware, mechanical in our attitudes and actions, we fight shy of any demand upon us that is disturbing and that cannot be met by an automatic response, and this is one of our major difficulties in education.

(Extracted with edits from “The right kind of Education” by J. Krishnamurti)

Passage 2

In the realm of contemporary literature, the interplay between character and setting is a nuanced dance that shapes the narrative’s essence. The setting, often described with painstaking detail, becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes a character, influencing the plot and character development.

Consider, for instance, the barren expanse of the desert in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake. The arid landscape mirrors the sense of isolation felt by the protagonist, Gogol, as he navigates his identity crisis in a foreign land. The relentless sun and vast sands are not mere descriptions; they are the silent witnesses to his inner turmoil.

On the other end of the literary spectrum, there is Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things. The lush, vibrant Kerala backwaters are not just the setting; they are a character woven into the fabric of the story. The teeming, humid landscape reflects the complex web of human relationships and secrets that unravel in the narrative. This interplay is not confined to contemporary literature alone. In Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy Macbeth, the eerie and foreboding setting of the Scottish moors casts a dark shadow over the characters’ actions. The moors, shrouded in mist and mystery, serve as an ever-present omen of the impending tragedy.

Answer: B

Q2. In the novel, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, what does the barren desert landscape symbolize?

(A) A thriving community.
(B) The protagonist’s sense of isolation and identity crisis.
(C) A lush, vibrant setting.
(D) A happy, carefree life.

Answer: B

Q3. What role does the Scottish moors play in Shakespeare’s Macbeth?

(A) It serves as a beautiful, serene landscape.
(B) It has no influence on the characters’ actions.
(C) It is an ever-present omen of impending tragedy.
(D) It is a place for the characters to relax.

Answer: C

Q4. What does the term “interplay” refer to in the context of the passage?

(A) A lack of interaction between characters and setting.
(B) A complex relationship where the setting influences the narrative.
(C) An insignificant connection between characters and setting.
