Question 8-9
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
Globalization, essentially, is the process of increased interconnectedness and complex
interdependence among countries and regions across the world. It is propelled by advances in
technology, communication, trade, and cultural exchange. One of the primary effects of
globalization is the large-scale flow of goods, services, capital, and information. The current
situation has resulted in an exceptional degree of economic interconnectedness and global
collaboration. Globalization has both positive and negative impacts. On the positive side, it has
facilitated the movement of ideas, innovation, and expertise across borders, leading to catalysed
economic growth and cultural exchange. It has also opened up new markets and opportunities for
businesses. However, globalization has also raised concerns about increasing income inequality,
loss of cultural identity, and environmental degradation. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the

has its benefits and underscored the need for international cooperation in addressing global
challenges, such as public health emergencies and climate change.
