2 points1. The term ‘Gaslighting’, sometimes seen in the media, roughly corresponds to:

Answer: D
Explanation:
● Gaslighting is a phenomenon wherein techniques of manipulation are used to control people in politics and interpersonal relationships.
● When a person is gaslighted they experience confusion, anxiety and loss of trust in themselves.
● If successful in the act of gaslighting, the perpetrator can isolate the victim from society and even from their closest social circles to the extent that the gaslightee starts believing that the gaslighter is the only person they can trust.
● In relationships, especially romantic or intimate ones, the process begins gradually, with the perpetrator gaining the partner’s trust by showering them with romantic gestures.

3. Question
2 points3. Consider the following statements about ‘Laundromat’ countries, which were recently in the news?
1. India, China, Singapore, the U.A.E. and Turkey are named as ‘laundromat’ countries by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) in its recent report.
2. ‘Laundromat’ countries export crude products to ‘price cap coalition countries’ which include the EU, G7 countries and Australia.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
Only statement 1 is correct. They are based on a recent report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). The details are as follows:

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
2 points5. Recently, the Sikka port and the port of Vadinar were in the news. In this context, which of the following statements is incorrect?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
● Option D is incorrect. The correct statement is that Rosneft or other oil companies from Russia are free to transport crude oil to Vadinar, where it is refined and can be exported to other countries as oil products from India.
All the first three options statements are correct. The details are as follows:
Indian ports key players
● The Sikka port, located on the West coast of India in Gujarat, exported €2.7 billion worth petroleum products to the price cap coalition countries from December 2022 to February 2023.
● It turned out to be the port with the most significant amount of import of seaborne crude oil from Russia, which is refined further by the Jamnagar refinery owned by Reliance Industries.
● While the Indian port of Sikka recorded the highest amount of exports to the price cap coalition countries, the port of Vadinar, also on the west coast of Gujarat, followed as a close second.
● Between December 2022 and February 2023, the Vadinar port served as a hub to export €0.4 billion worth of seaborne oil products to the price-cap coalition countries. Vadinar also imported €1.6 billion worth of seaborne Russian crude oil.
● The Vadinar Oil refinery is owned by Nayara Energy Limited, of which Russian oil company Rosneft holds a 49.13 per cent share of Nayara Energy Limited.
● This situation where a Russian company owns an oil refinery in a third country highlights a possible way of circumventing sanctions. Rosneft or other oil companies from Russia are free to transport crude oil to Vadinar, where it is refined and can be exported to the price cap coalition countries as oil products from India.
● At the same time, it allows for collecting revenues for Russia by increasing demand for Russian crude that is refined in laundromat countries and sold to Price Cap Coalition countries.
● The above facts are based on the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).Incorrect
