SAMPLE QUESTIONS
VERBAL ABILITY/READING COMPREHENSION

Q. 1-3 Directions: The passage below is followed by questions based on its

contents. Read the passage, and choose the best answer on the basis of the passage
content, stated or implied.

Passage

Adversity like that faced by the Swiss watchmakers has the virtue of starkly limiting
the alternatives. A company that decides to expand by acquisition has the wide world
of commerce before it, subject only to availability and price. The plethora of choices
is one explanation of the many poor selections. The best decisions follow when the
purpose is most clearly defined. At least the decision maker then knows exactly what
he is trying to achieve and why.
The Swiss were trying to achieve survival - an aim so ‘transcendent’ that the “why”
needn’t be asked. The only important question was “How,” and the only answer (which
their Japanese rivals have always chosen as the most rewarding approach) is to probe
for weakness of the opposition, and then to kick the Achilles heel with steel-tipped
boots. In this instance, the weakness (to which Japanese business is strangely prone)
was lack of modern fashion sense. The electronic timepieces were being sold as wrist
machinery; that gave Swiss Company its opportunity.
