There is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer; unattempted questions carry no penalty.  \n• The paper has four passages, each followed by six questions. Only one option is correct; choose the most appropriate answer based only on the passage.  \n• CLAT is an offline pen-and-paper (OMR) test with no sectional time limit; attempt this practice paper in one timed sitting of about 24 minutes.  \n• Use of mobile phones, calculators, dictionaries, or electronic gadgets is strictly prohibited.  \nPassage I  \nDirections (Q1– Q6): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Base your answers only on what is stated or implied in the passage.  \nFor three decades, economists have argued that the cheapest way to cut greenhouse-gas emissions is to put a price on carbon. The logic is elegant. If polluters must pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they release, they will find the least costly ways to pollute less, whether by switching fuels, improving efficiency, or inventing new technologies. A carbon price, in this view, harnesses the market rather than fighting it, letting millions of individual decisions do the work that clumsy regulation cannot. Yet after years of experiments with carbon taxes and emissions-trading schemes, the results are more sobering than the theory promised.  \nThe trouble is not that carbon pricing fails to work; where it has been tried seriously,  \n | 1  \nemissions have indeed fallen. The trouble is political. A carbon price is, by design, a visible cost imposed on voters who feel it immediately at the petrol pump or on their heating bills, while its benefits are diffuse, delayed, and shared with the rest of the planet. Governments that raise the price too quickly invite a backlash; those that set it too low achieve little. Several countries have watched promising schemes collapse the moment fuel prices rose for unrelated reasons, because citizens blamed the tax they could see rather than the market they could not.  \nDefenders of carbon pricing have learned to soften this blunt instrument. Some return the revenue directly to households as a dividend, so that most families come out ahead even as the price nudges their choices. Others ring-fence the money for popular projects such as public transport or home insulation. These designs blunt the political sting, but they also dilute the pure market logic that made economists fall in love with the idea in the first place. A dividend, after all, is a form of redistribution, and ring-fenced spending is a form of the very industrial policy that carbon pricing was meant to replace.  \nPerhaps the deeper lesson is that no single instrument can carry the whole weight of decarbonisation. Carbon pricing works best not as a lonely hero but as one member of a crowded team, alongside regulations that ban the worst technologies and subsidies that pull new ones to market. The economists were not wrong about the power of prices. They were wrong to imagine that prices alone could persuade a nervous public to accept a cost today for a benefit their grandchildren would inherit.  \nQ1. Which of the following best captures the central argument of the passage?  \n(A) Carbon pricing has failed everywhere it has been tried and should be abandoned altogether.  \n(B) Carbon pricing works economically but is limited by politics, and works best combined with other policies.  \n(C) Carbon taxes are always more effective than emissions-trading schemes.  \n(D) Governments should return all carbon revenue to households as a dividend.  \nQ2. The schemes that “collapse[d] the moment fuel prices rose for unrelated reasons” did so, it can be inferred, because:  \n(A) citize","cbCaihle1hhYCo4z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihle1hhYCo4z","pdf",242244,23,"English","# Instructions\n# Passage I\n## Q1–Q6\n# Passage II\n## Q7–Q12","[{\"question\":\"How are marks awarded and deducted in this CLAT English Language sample paper?\",\"answer\":\"Each correct answer gives +1 mark.
