According to the dictionary, management is the act, manner or practice of managing; handling, supervision, or control; leadership is the capacity or ability to lead. ________________________________

a. Essentially, management is "the process of working with people and resources to accomplish organizational goals".
A definite bias towards management.
b. Not only that, management is a theory and a way of doing business.
whatabout leadership?
c. In many organizations, management is a job description; leadership is a positive trait.
The only choice with which the paragraph could be ended. This takes the comparison between management and leadership to the next level.
d. For an organization to be successful, management should be exercised cautiously.
No one's talking about organisations.

@annelle
Was this Q taken from CL mocks ?
I had made a mistake there by marking option 2...

Explanation in the answer book:

The paragraph highlights a new finding and option a. completes the paragraph best as it compares it to the earlier view of the experts on the tiring of heart muscles.

The logic I used:

I got this correct in the paper so I can tell you my approach. Options c. & d. are out because as tatimatla pointed out - they have little or no connection to the para. Between a. & b., option a. makes much better ending to the paragraph, as it is talking about a previous thought process which is refuted by the new research.
Also, in my opinion, going for an option which supports and/or talks about previous issues of the paragraph, instead of an option that contradicts it - is a safer bet in being accurate. (This is a personal opinion; we will see if I'm correct as we proceed with more Qs & As).

c. In many organizations, management is a job description; leadership is a positive trait.

(C) seems to be correct.

Correct Answer for Question 2:

c. In many organizations, management is a job description; leadership is a positive trait.
Explanation in the answer book:

It is the only option that continues the comparison between management and leadership, the other options talk of management only.

Overall, this was a pretty simple question considering the previous one. If any query still, please go ahead and post it.

3. One of the most serious problems confronting India today is the climate change. The Himalayan glaciers that are the source of water are retreating very fast. This will aggravate downstream floods and droughts. As many as seven Asian rivers originate here - The Ganges, Indus, Brahmaputra, Mekong, Jhanlwin, Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. Yet none of the leaders of Asian countries, including India, are even remotely serious about countering climate change which spells pure doom for our agricultre and the quality of life of millions. ______________________________

a. Not that this worries politicians in search of nirvana at the next election.
b. Corporates take little notice as they are concerned with their next year's balance sheet.
c. We expect the Earth to be a self-renewing magical machine.
d. When water changes form, it generally undergoes purification, which is what keeps us alive despite our bad housekeeping.
