a The paragraph states that the ‘shameless rape of the Indian architectural wealth can perhaps, not wrongly, be attributed to the unfortunate blend of activist disunity and the local indifference.’ The clear inference from this statement is represented by option A. Option B may not true, as Indians might not be only ones so. Options C and D are stated in the passage.

B The moral police feel that Fire would influence the Indian psyche and ruin the moral fabric of the nation, which it should not be allowed to do. Option A is not true, as Indian audiences may be discriminating. Option C is not an inference, it is true to a certain extent.

A The passage states that ‘then it can be argued that they have never felt secure against the poor; that their aggressiveness stemmed from fear’. The line basically means that the rich have never felt safe against the poor and their aggression stems from this fear. Option B cannot the answer as it refutes the conclusion in the argument

C The passage states that the second kind of traveller ‘allows the spirit of the place to sink into their minds, and only visit such monuments as the time they have at their disposal allows them to contemplate without irreverent haste.’ The preference of this kind of traveller is not to focus on things, but on how well he absorbs the culture of one place. Option A is rejected as we do not know the author’s preference and option B again makes the mistake of giving a caustic opinion.

B The main gist of the argument is that smoking is harmful to society and drinking is not. Well, we need to show that drinking is harmful to and it can cause a lot of damage too. This is best exhibited by option B, which points out that drinking is harmful to others as well.

The first step in this question is that we need to identify what our task is: to strengthen the argument, that is prove that behaviour is indeed a predictable interaction of experience and genotype. How do we achieve that? By simply making all the conditions same under all circumstances and then proving that under these similar conditions, behaviour would be predicatable. This is best illustrated by option B. A statement wise analysis of the question is as follows: Option A does not strengthen the argument because if they react differently in different situations, it does not mean that the behaviour is because of an interaction between different situations, it can depend on the situation also. Option B weakens the argument because this means that the behaviour depends only on experience and not on genotype. Option C also weakens the argument as if they similar genotype and experience they should not behave differently in identical situations. Option 4 STRENGTHENS the argument as it proves that if the experience and genotype is same, the behaviour in similar situations is same. Option 5 cannot strengthen the argument as it means that the behaviour only depends on the genotype.

A Since only 8% of therapist/patient relationships continue after the patient terminates formal paid visits, therefore it means that the majority of doctors who initially keep this relationship and devote their time to it, do so because the patient is paying money. Once the patient stops paying the money, they end the relationship because there is no money involved any more. So, option A fits in perfectly in the context as it places the money relationship in the forefront.

D This question basically asks us to identify the correct assumption. An assumption is a co-relation between the facts given and the conclusion arrived upon. The fact given here is that : Nearly one in three subscribers to Business Today is a millionaire, and over half are in top management. The conclusion of the author is that asks the reader to subscribe to the magazine. The question you need to ask is why should you read this magazine? Well, the answer lies in the fact: if by reading this magazine, you have a change of becoming a millionaire or a join the top management, you would surely love to read it. Where do we find this co-relation? In optionD.

D This is a simple co-relation: if one medium is the best way of doing something, then the other mediums are obviously not that good. This leads us to option D. If radio is the best way for getting name recognition, then other media channels are obviously not that effective.

C How can we weaken this argument? By employing one simple logic: if we can provide another explanation for the increase in crime in the city, our job is done. This is done perfectly by option C, as it tells us how the crime rate in the city has gone up because of lack of policemen. This absolves the judiciary.
