You are passing by a river and you know swimming. Suddenly, you hear the cry of a drowning child. You would:
Answer: A
Correct answer: dive into the river to save him.
You can swim, a child is drowning, and every second counts. Going in at once is the one course that may save the life; anything else costs the time the child has not got.

You are playing in your friend's house, when he gets stuck with a naked electric wire. You would:

Correct answer: pull off the wire with a wooden stick.

You are interviewed for a new job. Which of the following questions is most important to you?
Answer: D
Correct answer: All the above are equally important.
Pay, prospects, the nature of the work and the people you would work with all bear on whether a job suits you, and a decision made on one alone is usually regretted. Weighing them together is what makes the choice sound.

You are alone in the house and there is quite a danger of thieves around. Just then, you hear a knock at the door. You would:
Answer: B
Correct answer: first peep out from the window to confirm whether you know the person.
Opening the door blind, when thieves are about, is the one thing not to do; and ignoring the knock leaves you knowing nothing. Looking out first tells you who is there and costs no risk at all.

You are living in a college hostel. The dal served to you in the mess has a lot of stones. What would you do?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Bring the matter to the notice of mess incharge.
The stones are in the food the mess serves, so the person who can have it put right is the one in charge of the mess. Complaining to him deals with the cause, and with tomorrow’s meal as well as today’s.

While travelling in a train, you notice a man from the coach behind yours fall of the train. You would:
Answer: A
Correct answer: pull the alarm chain so that the train may stop and the man may be helped.
