PASSAGE –I (Question Nos. 191 to 195) Stuck with be development dilemma? Stay away from management courses. Seriously, one of the biggest complaints that organisations have about management courses is that they fail to impact the participants’ on-the-job behaviour. Some management trainers stress the need for follow-up and reinforcement on the job. Some go so far as briefing the participants’ managers on

what behaviour they should be reinforcing back on the job. Others include a follow-up training day to review the progress of the participants. None of this is really going far enough. The real problem is that course promoters view development as something which primarily, takes place in a classroom. A course is an event and events are, by definition limited in time. When you talk about follow-up after a course, it is seen as a nice idea, but not as an essential part of the participants’ development programme. Any rational, empowered individual should be able to take what has been learnt in a course and transfer it to the work place or so the argument goes. Another negative aspect of the course mindset is that, primarily, development is thought to be about skillacquisition. So, it is felt that the distinction between taking the course and behaving differently in the work place parallels the distinction between skill-acquisition and skill-application. But can such a sharp distinction be maintained ? Skills are really acquired only in the context of applying them on the job, finding them effective and therefore, reinforcing them. The problem with courses is that they are events, while development is an on-going process which, involves, within a complex environment, continual interaction, regular feedback and adjustment. As we tend to equate development with a one-off event, it is difficult to get seriously motivated about the follow-up. Anyone paying for a course tends to look at follow-up as an unnecessary and rather costly frill. 191. What is the passage about? (a) personal management (b) development dilemma (c) management courses (d) course promoters’ attitude 192. Which of the following statements is false? (a) Some management trainers stress the need for follow-up and reinforcement on the job

(b) Some suggest a follow-up training day to review the progress of the participants (c) Some go to the extent of briefing the participants’ managers on what behaviour they should be reinforcing back on the job (d) The real problem is that course promoters view development as ‘something which does not take place during a course 193. The writer’s attitude, as reflected in the passage, is (a) critical (b) ironic (c) sympathetic (d) philosophical 194. The course promoters’ attitude is (a) self-righteous (b) indifferent (c) easy-going (d) unprogressive 195. The words ‘mindset’ here means (a) determined mind (b) a (fixed) attitude of mind (c) an open mind(d) mindful PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200) One may look at life, events, society, history, in another way. A way which might, at a stretch, be described as the Gandhian way, though it may be from times before Mahatma Gandhi came on the scene. The Gandhian reaction to all the grim poverty, squalor and degradation of the human being would approximate to effort at self-change and self-improvement, to a regime of living regulated by discipline from within. To change society, the individual must first change himself. In this way of looking at life and society, words too begin to mean differently. Revolution, for instance, is a term frequently used, but not always in the sense it has been in the lexicon of the militant. So also with words like peace and struggle. Even society may mean differently, being some kind of organic entity for the militant, and more or less a sum of individuals for the

Gandhian. There is yet another way, which might, for want of a better description, be called the mystic. The mystic’s perspective measures these concerns that transcend political ambition and the dynamism of the reformer, whether he be militant or Gandhian. The mystic measures the terror of not knowing the remorseless march of time; he seeks to know what was before birth, what comes after death. The continuous presence of death, of the consciousness of death, sets his priorities. and values: militants and Gandhians kings and prophets must leave all that they have built; all that they have un-built and depart when messengers of the buffalo-riding Yama come out of the shadows. Water will to water, dust to dust. Think of impermanence. Everything passes.

196. The Gandhian reaction to poverty is (a) a total war on poverty (b) self-discipline (c) self-abnegation (d) a regulated distribution of wealth 197. According to Gandhianism, the individual who wants to change society (a) should destroy the existing society (b) must re-form society (c) must change himself (d) may change society without changing himself 198. Who, according to the passage, finds new meaning for words like revolutions, peace and struggle? (a) A Gandhian who believes in nonviolent revolution

(b) A militant (c) A mystic (d) A Gandhian who disciplines himself from within 199. The expression ‘water will to water, dust to dust’ means (a) water and dust can mix well (b) man will become water after death (c) man will one day die and become dust (d) man will become dust and water after death 200. What does society mean to a Gandhian? (a) a sum of individuals (b) an organic entity (c) a regime of living regulated by discipline from within (d) a disciplined social community

The postmaster first took up his duties in the village of Ulapur. Though the village was a small one, there was an indigo factory nearby and the propritor, an Englishman, had managed to get a post office established. Our postmaster belonged to Calcutta. He felt like a fish out of water in this remove village. His office and livingroom were in a dark thatched shed, not far from a green, silmy pond, surrounded on all sides by a dense growth. The men employed in the indigo factory had no leisure, moreover they were hardly desirable companions for decent folk. Nor is a Calcutta boy an adept in the art of associating with others. Among strangers he appears

⇒ ∠QOR + ∠ORQ + ∠ORQ = 180° (Q angles opposite to equal side in a triangle are equal) ⇒ 2∠ORQ = 180° – 110°

sin 2 θ – (1 – cos θ ) = (1 – cos θ )sin θ

70° = 35° 2 ∴ ∠PRQ = 25° + 35° = 60° 134. Let the height of tower = x cm ∠ORQ =

Then,

Passage I A crucial element that defines the soap opera is the open-ended nature of the narrative, with stories spanning several episodes. One of the defining features that makes a television program a soap opera, according to Albert Moran, is “that form of television that works with a continuous open narrative. Each episode ends with a promise that the storyline is to be continued in another episode.” In 2012, Robert. Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote of daily dramas, “Although melodramatically eventful,

soap operas such as this also have a luxury of space that makes them seem more naturalistic, indeed, the economics of the form demand long scenes and conversations that a 22-episodes-perseason weekly series might dispense with half a dozen lines of dialogue may be drawn out, as here, for pages. You spend more time even with the minor characters the apparent villains grow less a apparently villainous.

Here is the way we put it in the time. It was a monstrous big river down there-sometimes a mile and a half wider we ran rights, and laid up and hid daytimes, soon as night was most gone we stopped navigating and tied up nearly always in the dead water under a towhead and then cut young cotton woods and willows and hid the roft with them-Then, we set out the lines. Next we slid into the river and had a swim, so as to freshen up and cool, off then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee deep and watched the daylight come. Not a sound anywhere-perfectly shill just like the whole word was asleep, only sometimes, the bullfrogs a cluttering maybe. The first thing to see, looking away over the water, was a kind of dull line- that was the woods on other side, you couldn’t make nothing else out, then a pale place in the sky, then more paleness spreading around, then the river softened up away off and warm black any more, but gray you could see little dark spots drifing along ever so far away-trading scowe and such things and long black streaksrafts sometimes you could hear a sweep creaking, jumbled up voices, it was so still and sounds comes so far and by and by you could see a streak on the water which you know by the look of the
