Note : Read the passage given below and
answer questions from 47 to 50
based on your understanding of
the passage :
The birth of Bretton Woods institutions in
the 1940s was a direct response to the
dismal experience of the 1920s and 1930s.
Many of those surveying the wreckage of
the global economic system in the dreary
days of the Second World War among
them, John Maynard Keynes, the dominant
economic thinker of that time – came to a
simple conclusion. The world’s economic
system needed honest referees. It could not
be left to the mercy of unilateral action by
governments or to the unregulated
workings of international markets. It
needed unilateral institutions of economic
governance to lay down some mutually
agreed rules for all nations on the conduct
of their affairs. Thus emerged the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), the
International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (IBRD), or the World Bank
and, later, the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
47. Dismal performance of world
economy during 1920’s and 1930’s
gave rise to
(A) World Trade Organisation
(B) United Nations
(C) IMF
(D) European Economic Union
48. Bretton Woods twins are
(A) USA and UK
(B) IMF and World Bank
(C) ITO and WTO
(D) GATT and UNESCO
49. The honest referee during the
Bretten Woods negotiations was
(A) Adam Smith
(B) Amartya Kumar Sen
(C) J.R. Hicks
(D) J.M. Keynes
50. The outcome of Bretten Woods
negotiations was
(A) Replacement of Unilateral
Institutions by Multilateral
institutions.
(B) Replacement of Multilateral
Institutions by Unilateral
Institutions.
(C) Replacement of Flexible
exchange rates by Fixed
Exchange rates.
(D) Replacement of International
Trade Organisation by IBRD.
