Directions (Q. 71-85): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain

words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Crude oil has had a long history, and an interesting one, it is probably one single natural resource that has

been instrumental in producing maximum conflicts and wars during the last century. With such a track record, it is

surprising that in the given environment, wherein oil prices are breaking all records, and has become the biggest cause

of concern across the globe, why is it that there is silence from some parts of the world? It is intriguing, especially

when some have been paying a much higher price on fuel, as compared to their poorer counterparts. It is surprising,

more so, when one realizes that the number of oil-producing nations is only a handful as compared to the number of

oil-consuming nations. While a proactive action from the mighty and powerful can bring in a huge respite for the

world, why is it that they choose to be silent? Also, keeping in mind the fact that a few nations-both powerful and

weak-have some of the largest unused oil reserves, their silence and lack of any serious action look all the more

aberrant, Looking at the manner things are shaping up, it just cannot be ruled out that possibly these nations have a

definite interest in the increasing prices of oil. The question then is what could their underlying interest be?

In all probability, what we are seeing right now is just a precursor to the larger picture, well laid out by them

may be for the good. With rising prices, the, OPEC might be delighted right now, but perhaps they are unable to see

what is going to hit them. For, this unprecedented rise in oil is creating a most demanding environment for alternative

fuels. As and when the reserves deplete and demand really grows, more than anyone else, it is OPEC that would be

badly hit, much to the glee of some nations having unused reserves which have the most to gain by using

blackmailing tactics. Eventually: the countries at the receiving end would be forced to createan enabling environment

for alternative energy. This trend is already visible, with India showing the way with its nuclear deal and other

countries dangling the carrot of complete conversion to natural gas towards other countries in order to boost their

own business. By doing so, they are creating a tactical pressure on countries. As they know that the further the oil

prices get pushed, the more the globe would become attracted and ready for alternative and non-conventional fuel.

Moreover, for many of the countries, it might become more expensive to invest in newer technologies to conform to
