w

D. The government may send army personnel to comb the place to find if there are more such traps.
w

E. The government may take up the matter with the governments of African nations.
w

Answer: Option A

Solution:

Since the traps are identified as the ones laid by Africa nomads, it becomes easy to catch them because
they look different from the local people. By alerting the local people and the Forest department
officials the culprits can be caught. This is a possible effect. Hence, (a) is a possible effect.

Constructing a fence around the reserve is not practically possible. Hence, (b) is not a possible effect.

www.allindiajobs.in
 www.allindiajobs.in

Catching the tigers in open forests and shifting them to zoos is not practically possible. Hence, (c) is not a
possible effect.

Armed personnel are not required to search for traps. Hence, (d) is not a possible effect.

There are many African nations. Since the nationality of the people who laid these traps is not known
choice (e) is not a possible effect.

Hence, (a) is a possible effect.

A. The study is done in cold countries only, countries in arid and semi-arid regions are not considered

B. Indians drink more coffee than the Swedish do.

C. The caffeine content is different in different varieties of coffee.

D. Intake of 15 ml to 30 mi of milk per day offsets the negative effects of caffeine. The study did not
consider the milk intake.

E. None of these

Answer: Option D

www.allindiajobs.in
 www.allindiajobs.in

Solution:

The statement does not indicate, whether the results would be different in the samples and from arid
and semi-arid region. Hence, (a) does not weaken the argument. It is not known whether any samples
taken for study include Indians nor does the passage give information regarding the vulnerability of
Indians to cancer. Hence, (b) does not weaken the argument. From the passage it cannot be known
whether the persons considered for this study drank similar type of coffee or different types coffee.
Hence, (c) does not weaken the argument. The passage states that coffee does not after a person's
vulnerability to cancer. While the statement says that milk offsets the negative effects of coffee. It also
states that these studies did not consider this fact. It is possible that the negative effect of coffee is not
evident because theses people consume milk. Choice (d) weakens the argument.

12. The image of a knitter as an older woman sitting in a comfortable, old-fashioned living room with a
basket of yarn at her feet and a bun in her hair is one of the past. As knitting continues to become more
popular and increasingly trendy, it is much more difficult to describe the average knitter. Knitters today
might be 18, 28, 40, or 65. They might live in a big urban center and take classes in a knitting shop that
doubles as a cafe or they may gather in suburban coffee shops to support one another in knitting and

www.allindiajobs.in
 www.allindiajobs.in

other aspects of life. They could be college roommates knitting in their dorm room or two senior citizens
knitting in a church hall. Even men are getting in the act. It would be incredibly difficult to come up with
an accurate profile of a contemporary knitter to replace that image of the old woman with the basket of
yarn! This paragraph best supports the statement that

A. people are returning to knitting in an attempt to reconnect with simpler times.

B. knitting is now more of a group activity, as opposed to an individual hobby.

C. creating an accurate profile of a particular type of person depends on the people in this group having
traits and characteristics in common.

D. today’s knitters are much less accomplished than knitters of the past.

in
E. young people are turning to knitting in record numbers.

s.
Answer: Option C
ob
aj
di
Solution:
llin

The statement that it is difficult to create an accurate profile of a contemporary knitter comes
immediately after a discussion about how different today’s knitters are from one another and from
.a

knitters of the past. Choices a and d are not supported by the paragraph. Although the paragraph does
discuss knitting done in group settings, it does not specifically say that more of today’s knitting is done in
w

groups; therefore, choice b is incorrect. Young people may be turning to knitting in record numbers, but
again, that statement is not verified by the information provided in the paragraph, so choice e must be
w

ruled out as well.

13. Statement:

Should seniority be the only criterion for the promotion?

Arguments:

II. Yes. Otherwise senior employees feel humiliated.

A. If only argument I is strong

B. If only argument II is strong

C. If either I or II is strong

D. If neither I nor II is strong

E. If both I and II are strong

Answer: Option D

Solution:

in
I is not strong because the question of criterion arises only when the employee is really for promotion. II
is not strong because a blind submission to such a feeling will do no good to the organisation. The effort

s.
should be to take measures that make employees feel that they are being cared for even though not

14. The neighborhood block association has received many complaints about people knocking on doors
di
and soliciting money for an unknown charity organization even though door-to-door solicitation is
prohibited by local laws. Three residents have provided descriptions of individuals who have come to
llin

their door asking for money.

.a

Solicitor #1 is a white male, 20–25 years old, 5'9", 145 pounds, with very short brown hair. He was
wearing a dark blue suit and carrying a brown leather briefcase.
w

Solicitor #2 is a white male, 25–30 years old, 6'2", 200 pounds, with a shaved-head. He was wearing a
w

red T-shirt and jeans.

w

Solicitor #3 is a white male, approximately 23 years old, 5'10", slight build, with short brown hair. He
was wearing a blue suit.

Three days after the block association meeting, a resident noticed a man knocking on doors in the
neighborhood and phoned the police to report the illegal activity. This solicitor was described as follows:

Solicitor #4 is a white male, 22 years old, 140 pounds, about 5'10", with short brown hair. He was
carrying a briefcase and wearing a dark suit.

Based on this description, which of the three solicitations was also likely carried out by Solicitor #4?

A. #1, #2, and #3

www.allindiajobs.in
 www.allindiajobs.in

B. #1, but not #2 and #3

C. #1 and #3, but not #2

D. #1 and #2, but not #3

Answer: Option C

Solution:

The solicitor described as #2 has a shaved head and is much taller and heavier than the solicitors
described as #1 and #3. Therefore, choices a and d, which include #2, can be ruled out. Solicitors #1, #3,

Answer: Option C
w

Solution:
w

When 'hope' is in the present tense, it is followed by 'will' and not 'would'. 'Concede' is always followed

by 'to' and not 'with'. Employees is a plural noun indicated by the preposition 'their'. Hence the
correction is 'the management will concede to their demands'.
