Directions (6-10): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:

It will be days before Congress receives the full nuclear agreement with Iran and all of its classified
annexes for review, but hawkish GOP lawmakers immediately began picking apart the final deal
reached early Tuesday as ―dangerous‖ and a ―possible death sentence for Israel.‖

Congressional Republicans have been warning President Barack Obama against a deal with Tehran
for months, telling him to simply walk away as the negotiations dragged on past initial deadlines.
But in the wee hours Tuesday, the administration announced a final deal to scale back Iran‘s nuclear
program and ease strict economic sanctions, so GOP critics‘ job has shifted to building support in
Congress to scuttle the deal by blocking Obama‘s ability to lift those sanctions.

―You‘ve created a possible death sentence for Israel,‖ fumed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on
MSNBC‘s ―Morning Joe.‖ ―This is the most dangerous, irresponsible step I‘ve ever seen in the
history of watching the Mideast.‖

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) — who got a call from Obama on Monday night that an Iran
deal was ―imminent‖ — accused the president of not keeping his word on dismantling Iran‘s nuclear
infrastructure and holding sanctions to Iran until international investigators verified that the
country‘s leadership is holding up its end of the bargain. Boehner said Obama ―has abandoned his
own goals.‖

―What I know of it thus far is unacceptable,‖ Boehner told reporters. ―It‘s going to hand a dangerous
regime billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear Iran.‖

―If it is in fact as bad a deal as I think it is at this moment, we‘re going to do everything we can to
stop it,‖ Boehner added.
 CP/16/C01

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) also
reiterated the GOP hardline on the Iran agreement. ―We will fight hard to reject this deal with every
tool that we have,‖ vowed Scalise.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the deal appeared to further the
administration‘s ―flawed‖ approach and said Congress‘s job is now to ―weigh why a nuclear
agreement should result in reduced pressure on the world‘s leading state sponsor of terror.‖

Directions (29- 35): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:

Throughout the world and over the centuries, societies have welcomed frightened, weary strangers,
the victims of persecution and violence. This humanitarian tradition of offering sanctuary is often
now played out on television screens across the globe as war and large-scale persecution produce
millions of refugees and internally displaced persons. Yet even as people continue to flee from
threats to their lives and freedom, governments are, for many reasons, finding it increasingly
difficult to reconcile their humanitarian impulses and obligations with their domestic needs and
political realities. At the start of the 21st century, protecting refugees means maintaining solidarity
with the world‘s most threatened, while finding answers to the challenges confronting the
international system that was created to do just that.

Protecting refugees is primarily the responsibility of States. Throughout its 50-year history, the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has worked closely with governments
as partners in refugee protection. In every region of the world, governments have generously granted
asylum to refugees and allowed them to remain until conditions were conducive for the refugees to
return to their homes in safety and with dignity. Governments have allowed UNHCR to operate on
their territories and have provided financial assistance to refugees, both through their own domestic
refugee programs and by funding UNHCR‘s protection and assistance operations.

While the international community has generally responded swiftly and generously to refugee crises
over the past half century, in recent years, some worrying trends have begun to emerge. Countries
that once generously opened their doors to refugees have been tempted to shut those doors for fear
of assuming open-ended responsibilities, of abetting uncontrolled migration and people-smuggling,
 CP/16/C01

or of jeopardizing national security. Real and perceived abuses of asylum systems as well as
irregular movements, have also made some countries more wary of refugee claimants, and
concerned that resources are not being sufficiently focused on those in greatest need. Refugees have
been refused admission to safety or have been expelled from asylum countries. Those who have
reached a potential country of asylum have sometimes been turned away or sent back without being
able to apply for asylum.

Refugees have been the targets of violent attacks and intimidation, largely because they were
perceived as ―different‖ from the communities in which they had temporarily settled. Tensions
between refugees and local populations have erupted when refugees were seen as competitors for
natural and economic resources. Armed combatants have been allowed to mingle freely with--and
intimidate with seeming impunity--the civilians who sought safety in refugee camps and settlements.
And, increasingly, governments have resorted to detention of illegal entrants, including women and
children, many of whom are seeking asylum. Some have done so to discourage or to dissuade those
who have already arrived from applying for refugee status. Some regard detention as an effective
way of managing illegal entrants regardless of their asylum status while identity, national security
and the elements on which the claim to refugee status or asylum is based are explored, and that it
facilitates removal of those who have no grounds to stay.

Some asylum countries around the world have become increasingly concerned about the economic
and social costs of asylum and are moving to harmonize their refugee determination systems in part
to address inequities which may result from different levels of entitlements. Some donor
governments are struggling with the costs of their own domestic systems for receiving refugees and
determining their claims, while also supporting large numbers of refugees over long periods of time
in other, less wealthy, nations. Developing countries argue that the burdens of asylum are not shared
equally: while they host thousands, and sometimes millions, of refugees, wealthier countries are
restricting access to their own territories and reducing support to the countries of first asylum.
UNHCR itself is facing budgetary shortfalls and has been forced to cut back on staff and programs.

take stock of the goods supplied and maintain the accounts of the company. Carl, a friend of
Ethan Hunt, from the neighbouring town, came to meet Ethan Hunt in the office. Since Carl did
