CAT 2017 Verbal Ability Preparation - PaGaLGuY

Passage:

Governments looking for easy popularity have frequently been tempted into announcing give-a-ways of all sorts; free electricity, virtually free water, subsidized food, cloth at half price, and so on. The subsidy culture has gone to extremes. The richest farmers in the country get subsidized fertilizers. University education, typically accessed by the wealthier sections, is charged at a fraction of cost. Postal services are subsidized, and so are railway services. Bus fares cannot be raised to economical levels because there will be violent protest, so bus travel is subsidized too. In the past, price control on a variety of items, from steel to cement, meant that industrial consumer of these items got them at less than actual cost, while the losses of the public sector companies that produced them were borne by the taxpayer! A study done a few years ago, came to the conclusion that subsidies in the Indian economy total as much as 14.5 per cent of gross domestic product. At today's level, that would work out to about Rs. 1,50,000 crore.

And who pay the bill? The theory-and the political fiction on the basis of which it is sold to unsuspecting voters-is that subsidies go the poor, and are paid for by the rich. The fact is that most subsidies go the 'rich' (defined in the Indian context as those who are above the poverty line), and much of the tab goes indirectly to the poor. Because the hefty subsidy bill results in fiscal deficits, which in turn push up rates of inflation-which, as everyone knows, hits the poor the hardest of all. That is why taxmen call inflation the most regressive form of taxation.

The entire subsidy system is built on the thesis that people cannot help themselves, therefore governments must do so. That people cannot afford to pay for variety of goods and services, and therefore the government must step in. This thesis has been applied not just in the poor countries but in the rich ones as well; hence the birth of the welfare state in the west, and an almost Utopian social security system; free medical care, food aid, old age security, et.al. But with the passage of time, most of the wealthy nations have discovered that their economies cannot sustain this social safety net, which in fact reduces the desire among people to pay their own way, and takes away some of the incentive to work, in short, the bill was unaffordable, and their societies were simply not willing to pay. To the regret of many, but because of the laws of economies are harsh, most Western societies have been busy pruning the welfare bill.

In India, the lessons of this experience over several decades, and in many countries-do not seem to have been learnt. Or they are simply ignored in the pursuit of immediate votes. People who are promised cheap food or clothing do not in most cases look beyond the gift horses-to the question of who picks up the tab. The uproar over higher petrol, diesel and cooking gas prices ignored this basic question; if the user of cooking gas does not want to pay for its cost, who should pay? Diesel in the country is subsidised, and if the user of cooking gas does not want to pay for its full cost, who does he or she think should pay the balance of the cost? It is a simple question, nevertheless if remains unasked.

The Deva Gowda government has shown some courage in biting the bullet when it comes to the price of petroleum products. But it has been bitten by much bigger subsidy bug. It wants to offer food at half its cost to everyone below the poverty line, supposedly estimated at some 380 million people. What will be the cost? And of course, who will pick up the tab? The Andhara Pradesh Government has been bankrupted by selling rice as Rs. 2 per Kg. Should the Central Government be bankrupted too, before facing up to the question of what is affordable and what is not? Already, India is perennially short of power because the subsidy on electricity has bankrupted most electricity boards, and made private investment wary unless it gets all manner of state guarantees. Delhi's subsidised bus fares have bankrupted the Delhi Transport Corporation, whose buses have slowly disappeared from the capital's streets. It is easy to be soft and sentimental, by looking at programmes that will be popular. After all, who does' not like a free lunch? But the evidence is surely mounting that the lunch isn't free at all. Somebody is paying the bill. And if you want to know who, take at the country's poor economic performance over the years

3)Everything under this system was supposed to be free but people were charging money for them.

Passage:

Crinoline and croquet are out. As yet, no political activists have thrown themselves in front of the royal horse on Derby Day. Even so, some historians can spot the parallels. It is a time of rapid technological change. It is a period when the dominance of the world's superpower is coming under threat. It is an epoch when prosperity masks underlying economic strain. And, crucially, it is a time when policy-makers are confident that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. Welcome to the Edwardian Summer of the second age of globalisation.

Spare a moment to take stock of what's been happening in the past few months. Let's start with the oil price, which has rocketed to more than $65 a barrel, more than double its level 18 months ago. The accepted wisdom is that we shouldn't worry our little heads about that, because the incentives are there for business to build new production and refining capacity, which will effortlessly bring demand and supply back into balance and bring crude prices back to $25 a barrel. As Tommy Copper used to say, 'just like that'.

Then there is the result of the French referendum on the European Constitution, seen as thick-headed luddites railing vainly against the modern world. What the French needed to realize, the argument went, was that there was no alternative to the reforms that would make the country more flexible, more competitive, more dynamic. Just the sort of reforms that allowed Gate Gourmet to sack hundreds of its staff at Heathrow after the sort of ultimatum that used to be handed out by Victorian mill owners. An alternative way of looking at the French "non" is that our neighbours translate "flexibility" as "you're fired".

Finally, take a squint at the United States. Just like Britian a century ago, a period of unquestioned superiority is drawing to a close. China is still a long way from matching America's wealth, but it is growing at a stupendous rate and economic strength brings geo-political clout. Already, there is evidence of a new scramble for Africa as Washington and Beijing compete for oil stocks. Moreover, beneath the surface of the US economy, all is not well. Growth looks healthy enough, but the competition from China and elsewhere has meant the world's biggest economy now imports far more than it exports. The US is living beyond its means, but in this time of studied complacency a current account deficit worth 6 perfect of gross domestic product is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness.

In this new Edwardian summer, comfort is taken from the fact that dearer oil has not had the savage inflationary consequences of 1973-1974, when a fourfold increase in the cost of crude brought an abrupt end to a postwar boom that had gone on uninterrupted for a quarter of a century. True, the cost of living has been affected by higher transport costs, but we are talking of inflation at 2.3 per cent and not 27 per cent. Yet the idea that higher oil prices are of little consequence is fanciful. If people are paying more to fill up their cars it leaves them with less to spend on everything else, but there is a reluctance to consume less. In the 1970s unions were strong and able to negotiate large, compensatory pay deals that served to intensify inflationary pressure. In 2005, that avenue is pretty much closed off, but the abolition of all the controls on credit that existed in the 1970s means that households are invited to borrow more rather than consume less. The knock-on effects of higher oil prices are thus felt in different ways - through high levels of indebtedness, in inflated asset prices, and in balance of payments deficits.

There are those who point out, rightly, that modern industrial capitalism has proved mightily resilient these past 250 years, and that a sign of the enduring strength of the system has been the way it apparently shrugged off everything - a stock market crash, 9/11, rising oil prices - that have been thrown at it in the half decade since the millennium. Even so, there are at least three reasons for concern. First, we have been here before. In terms of political economy, the first era of globalisation mirrored our own. There was a belief in unfettered capital flows, in free migration. Eventually, though, there was a backlash, manifested in a struggle between free traders and protectionists, and in rising labour militancy.

Second, the world is traditionally as its most fragile at times when the global balance of power is in flux. By the end of the nineteenth century, Britain's role as the hegemonic power was being challenged by the rise of the United States, Germany, and Japan while the Ottoman and Hapsburg empires were clearly in rapid decline. Looking ahead from 2005, it is clear that over the next two or three decades, both China and India - which together account for half the world's population - will flex their muscles.

Finally, there is the question of what rising oil prices tell us. The emergence of China and India means global demand for crude is likely to remain high a t a time when experts say production is about to top out. If supply constraints start to bite, any decline in the prices are likely to be short-term cyclical affairs punctuating a long upward trend.


Question 1

By the expression 'Edwardian Summer', the author refers to a period in which there is

A

unparalleled luxury and opulence

B

a sense of complacency among people because of all-round prosperity

C

a culmination of all-round economic prosperity

D

an imminent danger lurking behind economic prosperity

Question 2

What, according to the author, has resulted in a widespread belief in the resilience of modern capitalism?

A

Growth in the economies of Western countries despite shocks in the form of increase in levels of indebtedness and inflated asset prices

B

Increase in the prosperity of Western countries and China despite rising oil prices

C

Continued growth of Western economies despite a rise in terrorism, an increase in oil prices and other similar shocks

D

The success of continued reforms aimed at making Western economies more dynamic, competitive and efficient

Question 3

Which of the following best represents the key argument made by the author?

A

The rise in oil prices, the flux in the global balance of power and historical precedents should make us question our belief that the global economic prosperity would continue

B

The belief that modern industrial capitalism is highly resilient and capable of overcoming shocks will be belied soon

C

Widespread prosperity leads to neglect of early signs of underlying economic weakness, manifested in higher oil prices and a flux in the global balance of power

D

A crisis is imminent in the West given the growth of countries like China and India and the increase in oil prices

Question 4

What can be inferred about the author's view when he states 'As Tommy Cooper used to say "just like that"?

A

Industry has incentives to build new production and refining capacity and therefore oil prices would reduce

B

There would be a correction in the price levels of oil once new production capacity is added

C

The decline in oil prices is likely to be short-term in nature

D

It is not necessary that oil prices would go down to earlier levels

Jumbled sentences Q 23

Our propensity to look out for regularities, and to impose laws upon nature, leads to the psychological phenomenon of dogmatic thinking or, more generally, dogmatic behaviour: we expect regularities everywhere and attempt to find them even where there are none; events which do not yield to these attempts we are inclined to treat as a kind of 'background noise'; and we stick to our expectations even when they are inadequate and we ought to accept defeat. This dogmatism is to some extent necessary. It is demanded by a situation which can only be dealt with by forcing our conjectures upon the world. Moreover, this dogmatism allows us to approach a good theory in stages, by way of approximations: if we accept defeat too easily, we may prevent ourselves from finding that we were very nearly right.

It is clear that this dogmatic attitude, which makes us stick to our first impressions, is indicative of a strong belief; while a critical attitude, which is ready to modify its tenets, which admits doubt and demands tests, is indicative of a weaker belief. Now according to Hume's theory, and to the popular theory, the strength of a belief should be a product of repetition; thus it should always grow with experience, and always be greater in less primitive persons. But dogmatic thinking, an uncontrolled wish to impose regularities, a manifest pleasure in rites and in repetition as such, is characteristic of primitives and children; and increasing experience and maturity sometimes create an attitude of caution and criticism rather than of dogmatism.

My logical criticism of Hume's psychological theory, and the considerations connected with it, may seem a little removed from the field of the philosophy of science. But the distinction between dogmatic and critical thinking, or the dogmatic and the critical attitude, brings us right back to our central problem. For the dogmatic attitude is clearly related to the tendency to verify our laws and schemata by seeking to apply them and to confirm them, even to the point of neglecting refutations, whereas the critical attitude is one of readiness to change them - to test them; to refute them; to falsify them, if possible. This suggests that we may identify the critical attitude with the scientific attitude, and the dogmatic attitude with the one which we have described as pseudo-scientific. It further suggests that genetically speaking the pseudo-scientific attitude is more primitive than, and prior to, the scientific attitude: that it is a pre-scientific attitude. And this primitivity or priority also has its logical aspect. For the critical attitude is not so much opposed to the dogmatic attitude as super-imposed upon it: criticism must be directed against existing and influential beliefs in need of critical revision - in other words, dogmatic beliefs. A critical attitude needs for its raw material, as it were, theories or beliefs which are held more or less dogmatically.

Thus, science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths; neither with the collection of observations, nor with the invention of experiments, but with the critical discussion of myths, and of magical techniques and practices. The scientific tradition is distinguished from the pre-scientific tradition in having two layers. Like the latter, it passes on its theories; but it also passes on a critical attitude towards them. The theories are passed on, not as dogmas, but rather with the challenge to discuss them and improve upon them.

The critical attitude, the tradition of free discussion of theories with the aim of discovering their weak spots so that they may be improved upon, is the attitude of reasonableness, of rationality. From the point of view here developed, all laws, all theories, remain essentially tentative, or conjectural, or hypothetical, even when we feel unable to doubt them any longer. Before a theory has been refuted we can never know in what way it may have to be modified.

According to the passage, which of the following statements best describes the difference between science and pseudo-science?

A

Scientific theories or hypotheses are tentatively true whereas pseudo-sciences are always true

B

Scientific laws and theories are permanent and immutable whereas pseudo-sciences are contingent on the prevalent mode of thinking in a society

C

Science always allows the possibility of rejecting a theory or hypothesis, whereas pseudosciences seek to validate their ideas or theories

D

Science focuses on anomalies and exceptions so that fundamental truths can be uncovered, whereas pseudo-sciences focus mainly on general truths

E

Science progresses by collection of observations or by experimentation, whereas pseudo-sciences do not worry about observations and experiments

Question 2

According to the passage, the role of a dogmatic attitude or dogmatic behaviour in the development of science is

A

critical and important, as, without it, initial hypotheses or conjectures can never be made

B

positive, as conjectures arising out of our dogmatic attitude become science

C

negative, as it leads to pseudo-science

D

neutral, as the development of science is essentially because of our critical attitude

E

inferior to critical attitude, as a critical attitude leads to the attitude of reasonableness and rationality


In the context of science, according to the passage, the interaction of dogmatic beliefs and critical attitude can be best described as:

A

A duel between two warriors in which one has to die

B

The effect of a chisel on a marble stone while making a sculpture

C

The feedshare (natural gas) in fertilizer industry being transformed into fertilizers

D

A predator killing its prey

E

The effect of fertilizers on a sapling

The numbered sentences of the following paragraph are jumbled. Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the given options.


  1. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations, and particularly in new, strange  and perplexing situations.
  2. When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even  the ability to do well at school.
  3. The true test of intelligence is not how we do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do.
  4. These are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper and far more important.

Statement 1 and Statement 6 are at their correct place. Rearrange the sentences between them to make a coherent paragraph:

1. The amount of published information available varies widely by industry.


  1. Unfortunately for the researcher, many industries do not meet this criterion, and there may be little published information available.
  2. Generally, the problem the researcher will face in using published data for analysing an economically  meaningful industry is that they are too broad or too arranged to fit the industry.
  3. However, it is always possible to gain some important information about an industry from published sources and  these sources should be aggressively pursued.
  4. The larger the industry, the older it is, and the slower the rate of technological change, the better is the available published information.

6. If a researcher starts searching for data with this reality in mind, the uselessness of broad data will be better recognised and the tendency to give up will be avoided.

Hello everyone .. I've a doubt regarding the verbal section. This year in all 4 AIMCATs which have taken place they followed the pattern of 24 RC and remaining 10 compromising Para jumble, Summary and odd sentence out. As I've been performing very bad at Verbal section, was thinking to strategize by leaving para jumble questions which 90% goes wrong for me without options and they always give them without options. I'm good at summary questions. (Not bad at least) I was worried that if I keep on following something in AIMCATs to improve my scores my not attempting Para jumble and just doing RC and summary questions, i might feel uncomfortable when the pattern changes.

What should I do to improve my score but not temporarily but the strategy that would work for my CAT’16.

In CAT’15 which portion had no options ?

  • Odd sentence out
  • Any other
  • Para jumble
