1) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
I once made a statement in a room full of college students that the most important thing a young person could
acquire in college might be a sense of her own limitations. I realised when I said it that it was not a very
fashionable thing to say. Popular books on how to therapy, stress the glorious potential of every human being
and urge us to accept ourselves, finally, as being only a little lower than the angels. I heartily approve of any
celebration of human potential, but I believe that we must acknowledge our potential for limitless evil as well.
We must understand what we can do in the way of evil before we can even pretend to be good. This is the
beginning of morality, the psychological or spiritual or, in a religious tradition, the mythical basis that makes
morality possible. One of the most moral book of the past century is Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, because
Conrad faces the problem of evil in people. He tells us that we must recognize in ourselves the ability to put the
head of our enemy on stick and dance around a fire with it, and only when we recognize that can we even begin
to deal with any moral question at all. Students who have been nourished on pop psychology and told “I’ m
O.K.” have some trouble dealing with Conrad, and some of them regard him as perverse.
I am amazed at the number of educated people who believe that we are somehow better, more moral, than our
ancestors were. I have seen otherwise intelligent people grow red in the face at the suggestion that human
beings are not better now – less cruel , more considerate , less animalistic , more humane- than they were when
Nero ruled Rome or when the Pharaohs ruled Egypt or , when the Druids at Stonehenge readied their sacrifices.
In one way we are more likely to have become dull to our potential for evil (and so discover it suddenly and with
disastrous consequences) today than we were a few centuries ago. This is because we actively suppress the
kind of self-knowledge that makes intelligent moral decisions possible. Sin and guilt are such old -fashioned
terms that most of us are embarrassed by the very words.
[Question ID = 826]
Correct Answer :-
A knowledge of the possibilities of evil as well as good. [Option ID = 3301]

Renaissance. Science in the middle ages struggled against restrictions and there were many fetters to be
destroyed before it could continue unhampered. Superstitions were common and to the masses were much
more acceptable then were scientific explanations. The Renaissance brought about an interest in all things
pertaining to men and the thirst for new achievements led to a critical observation of natural phenomena. The
spirit of learning was manifested in science. Scientists of the 16th century made the first effective protest
against the medieval scientific method of accepting theories before investigation had verified them. Francis
Bacon pointed out that classical scientific conclusions did not represent mature knowledge and implored men to
explore the realms of nature. Descartes brought out the necessity of questioning everything. He was the
forerunner of science.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
How can an organization’s sales operations be improved? One of the keys to becoming more effective is to first
determine the type of “selling process” which needs to be used. In other words, the role the salesperson must
play has to be identified. There are three different processes sales staff can adopt: narrative, suggestive and
consultative.
The narrative approach depends on the salesperson moving quickly into a standardized presentation. Every
buyer receives the same presentation. Emphasis is on highlighting benefits and how the product or service can
help the buyer. This is an effective approach if the buying motive for all customers is the same. This process is
well suited where there are a great number of prospectuses to be called on.
The suggestive approach depends on the seller being in a position to offer alternative recommendations. This is
quite different from the narrative approach as the presentation is tailored to the individual customer. Here, the
salesperson must initiate some discussion in order to get the buyer in a positive frame of mind.
An example of this process would be a restaurant wine steward who has checked with the waiter what food the
customer has ordered and then opens by saying that either “this or that” particular wine would go best with the
food ordered.
This is an excellent approach where one doesn’t have much time with the customer but is able to acquire some
basic information and then offer a particular recommendation. This process is well suited for products and
services. However, it does require the salesperson to acquire basic information from the customer before
moving on to the presentation.
The consultative approach requires the salesperson to have a thorough understanding of the customer and what
the customer is trying to achieve. The role of the salesperson is to become an adviser or consultant and she
must acquire a great deal of information from the customer. With this information, the salesperson can plan
what to offer the customer. In this case, the salesperson must tailor the presentation to highlight how the
salesperson’s product or service can be of help. This approach will usually require a number of sales calls as the
buying process may be complex. The consultative approach requires a wide variety of skills, including probing,
listening, analysis, creativity and persuasiveness. The other two approaches typically require fewer skills.
Hiring, training, motivating and rewarding sales people needs to be linked to the type of sales process being
used and this is where the problem starts. Many organizations, which should be using a consultative approach,
use a narrative approach. They use standardized methods and do not tailor presentations to individual
customers. You see this in many industries. When this is the case, price becomes a key criterion for the
customer.
A key issue in developing a professional sales organization is first establishing the sales process. When that
decision has been made, all other sales decision, including hiring, training and rewards can be linked to it.

‘Delhi Belly’ restaurant provides a dining experience like no other! A rustic atmosphere, along with delicious
food, it provides an opportunity to soak up the local flavor. Recently relocated to the old market area, Delhi
Belly is especially popular for lunch. At the counter, you can place your order for one of Delhi Belly’s three daily
lunch specials or one of several Delhi snacks, all at reasonable prices. Once you get your food, choose a seat at
one of the four charming communal tables. By the time you are ready to carry your leaf plate to the trash bin,
you have experienced some of the best food and one of the most charming companies our city has to offer.
Restaurant review
Yesterday, I was exposed to what has been called “a dining experience like no other.”At lunchtime, Delhi Belly
is so crowded; I wondered when the authorities had last visited the establishment. The line snaked out of the
door to the corner, and by the time I reached the counter, I was freezing. I decided on the ‘Delhi Belly lunch
special’. It turned out to be the blandest food I have ever eaten. At Delhi Belly, you sit at one of four long tables.
The couple sitting across from me was having an argument. The truck driver next to me told me more than I
wanted to know about highway taxes. After I had tasted all of the food on my plate, I rose to leave, whereupon
one of the people working behind the counter yelled at me to clean up after myself. Throwing away that plate of
food was the most enjoyable part of dining at Delhi Belly.

1) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
All of us play but we are not athletes. We are homo ludens (Latin for play) and our playfulness is unproductive.
But athletes play for profit and contest for prizes. It is the transformation of our play and games into athletics
that leads to medals. What makes Haryana such a fine place for athletics in India? With barely 2% of India's
population, people from Haryana won around 40% of the gold medals in the recently concluded CWG 2010.
People in Haryana tend to count the gold medals of the Hyderabadi shuttler, Saina Nehwal and the
Delhi wrestler, Sushil Kumar, in their tally. This is because both of them are Jats. People of this dominant caste
form more than 20% of Haryana's population and, therefore, in popular perception, Haryana is Jat-land. All
sports are oriented towards the Olympic slogan 'higher, faster, and stronger’. But the ones in which Haryana got
medals stand for plain force and aggression like wrestling, boxing and shooting. Anthropologists call them
contact sports because the opponents have bodily contact in them. Shooting is a combative sport because
opponents use a combat weapon. Such sports are a substitute of war or training for it.
Haryana is India's pride in contact and combative games. I can think of three reasons for it, viz.
historical geography, peasant culture of perseverance and a feeble government policy. Firstly, the province has
a volatile history of continuous aggression due to its geographical location on the frontier. Secondly, the people
of Haryana have valued physical strength and perseverance due to its peasant culture. Thirdly, the sports policy
since 2006 has honed the killer athletic spirit in Haryana. The half-hearted policy does not create achievers but
supports the successful ones among them. Punjab was divided on religious lines in 1947. The non-Sikh majority
parts of this truncated Punjab were constituted as Haryana in 1966. Like a horseshoe, Haryana encircles Delhi
from three sides and the culture of both is similar. At the popular level, people are rough and tough - meaning
'rough by tongue and tough in body'. In the medieval times, Haryana flourished when weak rulers ruled Delhi.
Most of the area remained under Delhi's tutelage but small principalities also dotted the arid
landscape of Haryana. Mostly, people of the region joined the Mughals and Marathas in repulsing invaders. But
the same locals did not mind plundering Delhi or looting the retreating armies sometimes. The British
colonialists expanded from the east. They conquered most of India with the help of soldiers from western UP
and Bihar. But, in the late 19th century, the colonial strategists honored ordinary peasant castes by calling them
'martial races' in united Punjab. This was a clever way of taming the aggression in this frontier region.
This smart move was also to recruit rural Punjabis in the colonial army so that they could be used
to thwart the southward expansion of Tsarist Russia. There is a family resemblance between military/hunting
activities and wrestling, shooting, races, riding or archery. For the military serving population of Haryana,
therefore, such sports come easily. Secondly, before the advent of machinery, agriculture was a backbreaking
occupation. The size of agricultural income had a direct relation with the quantity of sweat produced during
one's toil.
Q) Why do people of Haryana tend to count the medals bagged by Saina Nehwal in the tally of their own state,
though she is a Hyderabadi?
[Question ID = 417]
1. Her father played Ranji for Haryana and is quite popular in the state [Option ID = 1664]
2. Saina's coach whom she attributes her success to, is from Haryana [Option ID = 1665]
3. Her father was posted for 12 years in Haryana during his professional career as a government officer [Option ID = 1666]
4. Her caste is the same as a dominant caste from Haryana [Option ID = 1667]
Correct Answer :-
Her caste is the same as a dominant caste from Haryana [Option ID = 1667]

landscape of Haryana. Mostly, people of the region joined the Mughals and Marathas in repulsing invaders. But
the same locals did not mind plundering Delhi or looting the retreating armies sometimes. The British
colonialists expanded from the east. They conquered most of India with the help of soldiers from western UP
and Bihar. But, in the late 19th century, the colonial strategists honored ordinary peasant castes by calling them
'martial races' in united Punjab. This was a clever way of taming the aggression in this frontier region.
This smart move was also to recruit rural Punjabis in the colonial army so that they could be used to
thwart the southward expansion of Tsarist Russia. There is a family resemblance between military/hunting
activities and wrestling, shooting, races, riding or archery. For the military serving population of Haryana,
therefore, such sports come easily. Secondly, before the advent of machinery, agriculture was a backbreaking
occupation. The size of agricultural income had a direct relation with the quantity of sweat produced during
one's toil.

Majority of us do not play to achieve material benefits [Option ID = 1670]
3) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
All of us play but we are not athletes. We are homo ludens (Latin for play) and our playfulness is unproductive.
But athletes play for profit and contest for prizes. It is the transformation of our play and games into athletics
that leads to medals. What makes Haryana such a fine place for athletics in India? With barely 2% of India's
population, people from Haryana won around 40% of the gold medals in the recently concluded CWG 2010.
People in Haryana tend to count the gold medals of the Hyderabadi shuttler, Saina Nehwal and the
Delhi wrestler, Sushil Kumar, in their tally. This is because both of them are Jats. People of this dominant caste
form more than 20% of Haryana's population and, therefore, in popular perception, Haryana is Jat-land. All
sports are oriented towards the Olympic slogan 'higher, faster, and stronger’. But the ones in which Haryana got
medals stand for plain force and aggression like wrestling, boxing and shooting. Anthropologists call them
contact sports because the opponents have bodily contact in them. Shooting is a combative sport because
opponents use a combat weapon. Such sports are a substitute of war or training for it.
Haryana is India's pride in contact and combative games. I can think of three reasons for it, viz.
historical geography, peasant culture of perseverance and a feeble government policy. Firstly, the province has
a volatile history of continuous aggression due to its geographical location on the frontier. Secondly, the people
of Haryana have valued physical strength and perseverance due to its peasant culture. Thirdly, the sports policy
since 2006 has honed the killer athletic spirit in Haryana. The half-hearted policy does not create achievers but
supports the successful ones among them. Punjab was divided on religious lines in 1947. The non-Sikh majority
parts of this truncated Punjab were constituted as Haryana in 1966. Like a horseshoe, Haryana encircles Delhi
from three sides and the culture of both is similar. At the popular level, people are rough and tough - meaning
'rough by tongue and tough in body'. In the medieval times, Haryana flourished when weak rulers ruled Delhi.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
Twenty years ago on Thursday, Moscow started what it thought would be a "blitzkrieg" against
secular separatists in Chechnya, a tiny, oil-rich province in Russia's North Caucasus region that had declared its
independence.
But the first Chechen war became Russia's Vietnam; the second war was declared a victory only in
2009. The two conflicts have reshaped Russia, Chechnya, their rulers - and those who oppose them. In 1994,
shortly after Moscow invaded Chechnya in an effort to restore its territorial integrity, Akhmad Kadyrov, a
bearded, barrel-chested Muslim scholar turned guerrilla commander, declared jihad on all Russians and said
each Chechen should kill at least 150 of them.
That was the proportion of the populations on each side of the conflict: some 150 million Russians
and less than a million Chechens in a small, landlocked province, which the separatists wanted to carve out of
Russia. Western media and politicians dubbed the Chechens "freedom fighters" - an army of Davids fighting the
Russian Goliath.
Moscow was lambasted internationally for disproportionate use of force and rolling back on the
democratic freedoms that former leader Boris Yeltsin was so eager to introduce after the 1991 Soviet Union
collapse. Tens of thousands died amid atrocities committed by both sides - and many more were displaced
before 1996, when the Russians retreated, leaving Chechnya essentially independent. Retreating was a
humiliation for Russia's military machine that less than a decade earlier had presented a seemingly formidable
threat to the entire Western world.

1) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
Smokejumpers are often asked to address to organizations and the public groups about the importance of fire
protection, particularly fire deterrence and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk of dying in a fire
by half, smokejumpers often provide audiences with information on how to fix these protective devices in their
homes. Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home.
While sleeping, people are in particular risk of a surfacing fire, and there must be a detector outside each
sleeping area. A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms.
Because of the dead-air space that might be missed by turbulent hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke
detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the adjoining wall, or high on a wall
at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling. Detectors should not be mounted near
windows, exterior doors, or other places where drafts might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should
they be placed in kitchens and garages, where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause bogus alarms.
