Situation Reaction Test Questions and Answers

Answer: C

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

Touching him or the wire would put the current through you as well, leaving two casualties instead of one. Wood does not conduct, so pushing the wire away with a wooden stick breaks the contact safely - and it must be broken before anything else can be done for him.

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.

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.

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.

Answer: A

Correct answer: pull the alarm chain so that the train may stop and the man may be helped.

This is exactly what the alarm chain is for. A man who has fallen from a moving train needs help at once, and stopping the train is the only way to bring it to him; jumping after him would simply add a second injured man, and waiting for the next station wastes the time that matters most.

Answer: A

Correct answer: rush to the train rather than miss it and inform the T.T.I. at the next stoppage about your inability to purchase the ticket.

Missing the train is a real loss, and travelling without a ticket is only an offence if you set out to avoid paying. Boarding and then reporting to the travelling ticket examiner at the first opportunity saves the journey and settles the fare honestly - it is the course that is both practical and above board.

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 - which prevents the harm rather than merely deploring it.

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: 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 - calling for help, looking for a rope - costs the time the child does not have.

Answer: C

Correct answer: politely say that the food was too good and you have already eaten much

The reply refuses without giving offence: it praises the food, which is what the host cares about, and explains that you have eaten enough. Eating beyond your capacity or refusing bluntly would each be worse.
