searching with "personification of whole organization is a textual device" gives a link to some jourmal... http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=036...3E2.0.CO%3B2-7
but it has to be bought and the purchase link is not working..

I have solved the EU part of the paper (out of interest, lets call it) and I definitely disagree with what people are saying my when they mark choice 2 for the photography para completion problem.
Read this...
The space between life as it is being lived and life as it is being displayed shrinks to a mere second. Images are, after all, surrogates carried into battle by a soldier or a traveller on a holiday.
This does not look even continuous!!! From where do the two examples telling good things abt current mode of photography come in? It has to be qualified first (grammatically speaking). The thing being talked abt is the loss of magic in photography of today. Logically speaking, a sentence to justify the first line has to be said. Which would be option (1)
I might be wrong, but I am fairly confident that this is the correct option!

The answer is 1. You are correct. For ppl who beg to differ have a look -
The New Atlantis - The Image Culture - Christine Rosen
search for "space" and u will find the line...

So I think the option concludes the para aptly by saying "Yet, Despite these technological developments , photographs still remain powerful because they are reminders of the people and things we care about."
U convinced?

But in the new era of the digital image, they also have a greater potential for fostering falsehood and trickery, perpetuating fictions that seem so real we cannot tell the difference.
im pretty sure this is right..

accd to me the second part of option 1 "photographs still remain powerful bcoz thy r ....." shud go on to talk more about about the people we care about and something related to it.....
on the other hand, the passage seems to give a -ve view about digital photography and option 2 continues in a similar tone.....
3,4,5 are eliminated anyways....
i maybe wrong.....but thats what i thought when i marked this option.....

exactly...option 1 is correct...
i think people's opinions are being influenced by the so-called "answer-keys" which all coaching institutes are releasing...
just to put things in perspective, last year i was getting all kinds of marks in english, ranging from 5 to 15, depending on the answer key used, but when the final result came, i had 99%ile...
just have some patience and let the iims do their work...

I hope that is the case with me - The CL answer key gives me a humongous ammount of wrong answers out of my attempts.

Hi.. Can someone post the answers to the questions on ordering the sentences ... different websites giving different answers.
Please mention a part of the question, instead of the question numbers!
Thanx!

2007 disaster:
Verbal  isaster..
checking the answers feels there might be differnt answrs from IIMS..
few assumptions/attempts of mine with my answers..need ur feedback for them .. r they correct..
333:
1).How a set of shared belief evolves into paradigm..Relationship wala answer kaise hosakta hai woh to pehli line hi likhi hai..IIM ander ki baat pouchta hai na..  :(
2).Paradigms are a general representation of rules and beliefs of scientific tradition..
3).. Yet wala thik hai as last line is a conclusion itslef.
4)..the diffenrcr b/w width and depth....
5)..define the palce of poet in his culture..
6) poets and artist who are driven by courage..
Silent creatures..  ..
