Q1. Based on the given passage, find out which of the following statements can be inferred from the
passage?
Of all the fitness and wellness activities customary in India, Artistic yoga is the new kid in town. It has
successfully earned a pat on the back from whosoever has lent an ear to the latest advancements.
Artistic yoga combines the suaveness of yoga and the frenzy of modern cardio-vascular exercises. The
technique involves performance of various aasanas and pranayams followed by walking on treadmill,
stair climbing, cycling and so on. The activities are performed in a cyclic order and the aasana or
pranayam that is done in the beginning is repeated in the end. This helps an individual at the physical
level as well as the mental and spiritual level, thus helping bring about a complete transformation of
body, mind and soul.

thousands of people were encouraged to learn management on the job. And they
did. But, people were taught little about leadership. To some degree, management
was emphasized because it's easier to teach than leadership. But even more so,
management was the main item on the twentieth century agenda because that's
what was needed. For every entrepreneur or business builder who was a leader, we
needed hundreds of managers to run their ever-growing enterprises. Unfortunately
for us today, this emphasis on management has often been institutionalized in
corporate cultures that discourage employees from learning how to lead. Ironically,
past success is usually the key ingredient in producing this outcome. The
syndrome, as I have observed it on many occasions, goes like this: Success creates
some degree of marked dominance which in turn produces much growth. After a
while keeping the ever-larger organization under control becomes the primary
challenge. So attention turns inward and managerial competencies are nurtured.
With a strong emphasis on management but not leadership, bureaucracy and an
inward focus takeover. But with continued success, the result mostly of market
dominance, the problem often goes unaddressed and an unhealthy arrogance
begins to evolve. All of these characteristics then make any transformation effort
much more difficult. Arrogant managers can over-evaluate their current
performance and competitive position, listen poorly and learn slowly. Inwardly
focused employees can have difficulty seeing the very forces that present threats
and opportunities. Bureaucratic cultures can smother those who want to respond to
shifting conditions. And the lack of leadership leaves no force inside these
organizations to break out of the morass.
11. Why did companies and universities develop programs to prepare managers in
such large numbers?
13. What is the historical reason for many organizations not having leaders?
15. Find the word that most closely means the same as the word 'smother'?
a. Suppress
b. Encourage
c. Instigate
d. Criticize
