Situation Reaction Test Questions and Answers

Answer: B

Correct answer: inform the police at the nearby booth.

A man who abandons a scooter in a public place and leaves on someone else’s bike may have stolen it or left something dangerous in it. Telling the police at the booth close by lets those whose business it is look into it.

Answer: D

Correct answer: apologise to the house owner and contribute to replace the glass.

The damage is yours and so is the responsibility. Owning it at once and offering to pay towards the new glass settles the matter honourably; running away or denying it would be dishonest and, in a neighbourhood, useless.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Call the conductor, give him the money and get the ticket.

Getting off without paying would be dishonest, whatever the crowd. Calling the conductor over and paying him where you stand settles the fare properly and takes only a moment.

Answer: A

Correct answer: report the matter to the police.

An unattended suitcase on a train may belong to someone who has forgotten it, or it may be there for a worse reason. Reporting it to the police leaves both possibilities in the right hands rather than in yours.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Dip the child's hands in cold water till there is no more burning sensation.

A burn goes on damaging the skin from its own heat, so the first thing is to cool it: hold the hand under cold water until the burning stops. Ointments, ice or bandages applied first would each make matters worse.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Make him realise his mistake.

A friendship is worth trying to save. Bringing the cheating home to him gives him the chance to see what he has done and to mend it - more than either saying nothing or breaking with him without a word.

Answer: C

Correct answer: rush and taking out the muffler from his neck, drop it and pour water on it.

The fire is on him, so it must come off him first - then it can be put out safely on the ground. Pouring water while the muffler is still round his neck, or merely warning him, would leave him burning for the seconds that matter.

Answer: C

Correct answer: send him your best wishes.

An invitation may have gone astray, or been forgotten in the bustle of a wedding. Sending your good wishes keeps the friendship whole and costs you nothing; taking offence would end it over what may be an accident.

Answer: A

Correct answer: with the help of some passengers, check them from doing so.

Pulling the chain for one’s own convenience endangers the train and delays everyone on it. Acting alone against a group is unwise, but with the other passengers behind you the students can be stopped.

Answer: C

Correct answer: pay the fruit vendor for the damage done to him.

The damage is yours, and the vendor’s stock is his living. Paying him for what you have destroyed is the honest course, and settles the matter on the spot.
