Direction for [ Question No: 1 To 10 ] :

Each of the following questions contains a small paragraph followed by a question on it. Read each paragraph carefully and answer the question given below it.

1.

The attainment of individual and organisational goals is mutually interdependent and linked by a common denominator - employee work motivation. Organisational members are motivated to satisfy their personal goals, and they contribute their efforts to the attainment of organisational objectives as means of achieving these personal goals. 

The passage best supports the statement that motivation -

Answer: A

Correct answer: encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organisational goals.

Read the second sentence closely. Members are motivated to satisfy their personal goals, and organisational objectives are pursued as means of achieving these personal goals. The personal goal is the end; the organisational goal is the route to it.

That ordering is the whole point of the passage, and only the keyed option states it. The passage never claims motivation is necessary for survival, never traces it to physical and mental energy, and calls it a common denominator inside the organisation rather than an external force.

Due to enormous profits involved in smuggling, hundreds of persons have been attracted towards this anti-national activity. Some of them became millionaires overnight. India has a vast coastline both on the Eastern and Western Coast. It has been a heaven for smugglers who have been carrying on their activities with great impunity. There is no doubt, that from time to time certain seizures were made by the enforcement authorities, during raids and ambush but even allowing these losses the smugglers made huge profits.

The passage best supports the statement that-

Answer: D

Correct answer: smuggling is fast increasing in our country owing to the quick profit it entails.

The passage opens with cause and effect: because of the enormous profits, hundreds have been drawn to smuggling and some became millionaires overnight. It then adds that seizures notwithstanding, the smugglers still made huge profits - so the incentive survives enforcement.

The other options are judgements the passage never makes. It does not discuss economic damage, does not say smuggling ought to be curbed, and describes enforcement as occasional raids rather than strict measures.

Though the waste of time or the expenditure on fashions is very large, yet fashions have come to stay. They will not go, come what may. However, what is now required is that strong efforts should be made to displace the excessive craze for fashion from the minds of these youngsters. 

The passage best supports the statement that:

Answer: C

Option C is correct because our constructive development like good thoughts, behavior, skills, values, goals comes from mind which decides our personality. Craze for fashion develops bad impacts on our mind distract our mind from goals and other incentives. So fashion should be thrown away from our mind as mind is the primary step for our constructive development.

One of the important humanitarian by-products of technology is the greater dignity and value that it imparts to human labour. In a highly industrialized society, there is no essential difference between Brahmin and Dalit, Muslim and Hindu; they are equally useful and hence equally valuable for in the industrial society individual productivity fixes the size of the pay cheque and this fixes social status.

The passage best supports the statement that:

Answer: C

Correct answer: human labour has dignity and value.

The first sentence names the theme outright - technology imparts greater dignity and value to human labour - and the rest of the passage simply explains how: in an industrial society productivity, not birth, fixes pay and therefore status.

The mention of Brahmin and Dalit, Muslim and Hindu is evidence for that claim, not the claim itself, which is why the options about social status and about caste being man-made pick up a supporting detail and mistake it for the theme.

The future of women in India is quite bright and let us hope that they will justify their abilities by rising to the occasion. Napoleon was right when he declared that by educating the women we can educate the whole nation. Because a country can never rise without the contribution of 50% of their population.

The passage best supports the statement that:

Answer: D

Correct answer: women ought to be imparted full freedom to prove their worth and contribute to the progress of the nation.

The passage puts two ideas side by side: women will justify their abilities by rising to the occasion, and a country cannot rise without the contribution of half its population. Both are about giving women the opportunity to contribute.

Education appears as Napoleon’s illustration of that opportunity, not as the conclusion, so all women should be well educated narrows the theme. Emancipation and equal rights are consequences the passage gestures at but never states.

The prevention of accidents makes it necessary not only that safety devices be used to guard exposed machinery but also that mechanics be instructed in safety rules which they must follow for their own protection, and that lighting in the plant be adequate.

The passage best supports the statement that industrial accidents -

Answer: D

Correct answer: can be eliminated with the help of safety rules

The passage is entirely about prevention, and every measure it lists - guarding exposed machinery, instructing mechanics, providing adequate lighting - is a safety rule of one kind or another. Its premise is therefore that accidents can be prevented if those rules are followed.

Options saying accidents cannot be entirely overcome or arise from ignorance or inadequate machinery contradict or go beyond that premise; the passage assigns no cause, only a remedy.

To forgive an injury is often considered to be a sign of weakness; it is really a sign of strength. It is easy to allow oneself to be carried away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance; but it takes a strong character to restrain those natural passions. The man who forgives an injury proves himself to be the superior of the man who wronged himself and puts the wrong-doer to shame. 

The passage best supports' the statement that:

Answer: D

Correct answer: mercy is the noblest form of revenge.

The passage sets forgiveness against vengeance throughout: yielding to resentment is easy, restraining it takes a strong character, and the man who forgives proves himself the superior of the wrongdoer and puts him to shame.

That last clause is decisive. Forgiveness here is not merely kind - it defeats the offender more completely than retaliation would, which is exactly what calling mercy a form of revenge means.

The school has always been the most important means of transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next. This applies today in an even higher degree than in former times for, through the modern development of economy, the family as bearer of tradition and education has become weakened. 

This passage best supports the statement that for transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next -

Answer: C

Correct answer: economic development plays a crucial role

The passage gives one reason why the school matters more now than before: through the modern development of economy, the family has been weakened as a bearer of tradition. Economic change is the force that redistributed the job.

The remaining options run against the text. It says the school is the most important means, so the family is not; it names no other source and no technology; and it offers a cause rather than advice to try several sources.

Emerson said that the poet was landlord, Sealord, airlord. The flight of imagination made the poet master of land, sea and air. But a poet's dream of yesterday becomes today an actual achievement and a reality for all men. Even those who invented, improved and perfected the aeroplane could hardly have dreamt of the possibility of flight into outer space. 

The passage best supports the statement that:

Answer: C

Correct answer: what man imagined has never been impossible; he has always turned it a reality through his conception of ideas and sheer hard labour.

The passage traces one line: the poet imagines mastery of land, sea and air; a poet’s dream of yesterday becomes today an actual achievement; and flight, once imagined, was built and then surpassed by flight into space.

So imagination is presented as the first step towards achievement, not as a test of poetic skill and not as a claim that every imagining comes true - the passage speaks of what has been realised, not of everything conceivable.
