Total number of questions: 30 Time allowed: 70 minutes

Directions for Q. 31 to 33: Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

31. Pulling off the subterfuge required a false mailing address, signatures obtained under false pretenses, backdated investment documents, and phony doctor’s bills. Yet Kumar initially believed that he was going to pass information to Rajaratnam legally. He soon realized that Rajaratnam wanted tips that he could convert into profitable stock trades. Once the flow of money created an obligation, Rajaratnam began asking for financial details about companies that Kumar advised. (1) Despite his conscience beckoning him every day, Kumar never made any

apparent effort at going back. (2) At one point of time, Kumar was even telling him his family secrets. (3) Soon, Kumar was breaking both McKinsey’s confidentiality rules and the

securities laws that forbid such exchanges. (4) This happened right under the SEC’s nose.

32. The Damascus Spring of 2001 was so called because Syrian democrats hoped that President Bashar alAssad, a mildmannered doctor trained in London, who had been installed as the successor to his ruthless father, Hafez, might forswear tyranny. That Spring ended, and some of the hopeful landed in torture rooms. Four years later, activists issued the Damascus Declaration for Democratic National Change, which called on Assad to hold free parliamentary elections, “launch public freedoms,” and “abolish all forms of exclusion in public life.” (1) And Assad did oblige by loosening up a chord in the tightstrung Syrian life (2) Instead, he imprisoned the document’s leading signatories (3) Not only that, they requested him to release all political prisoners too (4) Tyranny knows no bounds

Can you imagine that human jumbo jet slamming into a normal kid his age? (1) According to sources, the recent interest in the colossal Bailey kid has

renewed discussion surrounding that Anderson boy, who is only 12 and really puny but somehow practically has a full beard.”

(2) The Bailey kid is like a boulder." (3) There'd be nothing left." (4) God help Bailey!”

It’s rich that Standard & Poor’s would lower the boom on the United States government. There are many people in the financial industry and elsewhere who were surprised that the government didn’t put S. & P. and the other ratings agencies out of business after the meltdown of 2008, for their infamous role in polishing all those mortgagebacked turds. Whether because of incompetence or some kind of subornation (we’ll sign off on your turkeys if you give us more turkeys to sign off on), the ratings agencies bestowed AAA ratings on bundles of securities that, as time would show, were rotten to the core. S. & P. and its competitors constituted a crucial cog in the wheel of corruption, greed, and magical thinking that eventually brought the financial system and the economy to their interlocking knees. You can’t pin all the blame on the ratings agencies, not even close.

But the ratings fiasco deserves its place near the top of it. You’d almost think that the free pass, the rating agencies got from the government would require their recusal in matters pertaining to its debt. What thanks did the government get for its leniency? A sudden spasm of honesty and accuracy (give or take $2 trillion). S. & P. chose a curious moment to kick the gradeinflation habit.

As for the downgrade itself, it may just be an expression of the obvious, not unlike the shellacking the stock market took. The underlying logic—of both downgrade and downturn—has been plain to see for a while. The US economy is a mess—in the long term because we’ve spent too much, and in the short term, perhaps, because we won’t spend enough. The political and ideological arguments that arise out of this contradiction make for a dismal spectacle.

We’re a little like a gambler deep in the hole. The only way out of the hole is to bet more. The problem is, the guys around the table aren’t as keen as they used to be to stake us the cash to stay in. Do we walk away broke, or sell our snakeskin boots for a shot at another hand? Either way, we’re facing ruin. But it’s the doing nothing—the dithering—that might just get us shot.

34. What would ‘recusal’ mean, as specified in the passage? (1) To abstain from participation in a decision on grounds such as prejudice or

personal involvement. (2) Incapable of being bought back directly or paid off (3) Not subject to challenge or objection (4) Having or showing or expressing reverence for the Government

35. What does the author mean by the line, “It’s rich that Standard & Poor’s would lower the boom on the United States government.”? (1) It is a satirical situation in which S&P, which had got the free pass from the

US Government, hit back instead of helping (2) It is a strange situation in which a company which was held to be out of line,

came out of a ditch to aid the Government itself (3) It is a beautiful case of a symbiotic relationship between two entities, where

one feeds on the other’s leftovers (4) None of these

36. What is the main idea of the passage? (1) Standard & Poor’s has shown the true state of the economy in an untimely

fashion and the US economic situation is spiraling out of control (2) The US has got nothing to protect itself from the economic upheaval that is

sure to follow (3) The world is disillusioned of the US charm and there is the place for some

other country to fill its shoes (4) Standard & Poor’s is a lost case and US Government should focus on

economic betterment instead of bailout packages

Since its peak of close to twentythree thousand adoptions, in 2004, the international adoption rate has plummeted by almost half in the U.S., to 12,753 in 2009. In 2010, the number is likely to be fewer than ten thousand, and by 2013 below seven thousand. In addition to the closing of several prominent sending nations, like Guatemala and Vietnam, others have cut back. In 2009, China sent less than half the number of children to the U.S. than it sent in 2004, and has introduced a welter of new restrictions on who may adopt (including the weight of the adoptive parents); the average wait time for a child from China can now be six years.

“International adoption should be an option for some orphans, but, sadly, those options seem to be going away,” Dr. Jane Aronson, the founder of the Worldwide Orphans Foundation, said recently. This isn’t because the number of orphans is declining: according to UNICEF, there are a hundred and sixtythree million, worldwide. Nor is it because of any compelling data showing that international adoption doesn’t work. Most studies have found that adopted children, even when they’re from different countries and races, do just as well in life as biological children, provided that they are adopted early enough, while children who spend years in orphanages have much less chance of normal development. International adoption is dwindling because no one can agree on what constitutes an ethical adoption. As Karen Dubinsky, a professor of history at Queens University in Ontario, who is the adoptive mother of a Guatemalan child, and the author of “Babies Without Borders,” put it to me, “Adoption, of whatever sort, works better in miniature than on the big screen. In the abstract it is hideous, but individually it can sometimes—even often—make sense.”

37. Which of the following can be a reason for the smaller number of international adoptions every year? (1) The number of orphans worldwide cannot be determined because of lack of

proper measures (2) The legal barriers are increasing every day (3) No one can justify the morality behind international adoption (4) Not a single parent has ever expressed discontent over the adoption

companies’ workings

38. Which of the following is incorrect according to the passage? (1) The number of Chinese adopted children in the US as a percentage of the

international adoptions in US has stayed almost the same from 2004 to 2009 (2) The number of children sending countries has been going down (3) Orphans have a better chance of having a good life in families than in

orphanages (4) According to the UNICEF, there are a hundred and sixty three million orphan

families in this world.

39. Which of the following is a correct inference drawn based on the information given in the passage above? (1) Since no one knows whether international adoptions are ethical, hence they

should be avoided (2) Internationally, the idea is picking up that inter racial relationships can survive

the test of time (3) A child adopted from China by US parents might have to wait more than six

years to meet his family (4) By normal development, it is meant that the person would have as much a

chance to encounter genocide as anyone else

40.

democratically elected by a majority, but who ruthlessly oppressed minorities who presumably didn't vote for him.

(D) Left wing think tank JOP have released a report in which they say that modern democracy is not compatible with the ideals of modern democracy.

Every month, there happens a reshuffle in ABC Inc. There are 6 floors (excluding the ground floor, which is not ABC Inc’s property) in the building in which ABC Inc. is housed and each floor is manned and managed by a manager. There are 6 managers – A Managing Director (MD), an Operations Manager (OM), a Key Departmental Manager (KDM), a Relationship Manager (RM), and two Management Trainees (MT1 and MT2). Last month, the allocation of the floors was: Floor 1: MD; Floor 2: OM; Floor 3: KDM; Floor 4: RM; Floor 5: MT1; Floor 6: MT2 But strangely, this month each manager got a different floor from what he had got the last month. The following information is also known:

(A) If the floor numbers that have been assigned to the RM in these two months be multiplied, then the product is going to be the same as the product of the floor numbers assigned to MT2 in the two months

(B) The difference between the floor numbers assigned to the OM in the two months, is the highest among the six managers

60. Who was in the first floor this month? (1) Management Trainee 1 (2) Relationship Manager (3) Operations Manager (4) Key Departmental Manager
