VA Guide for CAT 2008

Hi Puys...

We will keep on discussing the previous question... Put the title appropriatelly... I mean correct question number and page number...

By that time take the next question:

HE INTERNATIONAL AIDS conference held in Bangkok in July 2004 witnessed intense debates around the response to AIDS. Although prevention was widely discussed, it was not the central issue it used to be. It became clear during the conference that the theme "Access for All" really meant treatment. For sure, massive scale up of treatment programmes is a moral and practical imperative - it will save lives and protect the economies of mny countries by keeping alive their most productive populations. India too, has announced plans to roll out treatment. ________________________________

1. India has to ackknowledge the implications of greatly expanded access to anti-retroviral treatment.
2. Hundreads of thousands will need to remain on treatment for life.
3. Yet, prevention will still need to remain the first line of defence in its quest to stop the spread of the epidemic.
4. New infections will add hundreads of thousands more to the 'treatment list' each year.
5. The treatment will be a huge financial burden on the government.

All the best ...
I will post the answer tomorrow...

a. fictional,dysfunctional b. maritime, unimaginable

(e) is clearly out of the picture. "Disloyal american family" is a little hard to comprehend. One speaks of a "disloyal person", but not for a family.

Initially I though since it's about a book so (a) seemed perfect. But then I wanted to be a bit adventurous and marked (d) I paid for it.

On hindsight I don't see why (d) should be wrong?

Can v discuss further on this kind of Questions.. here what i see is that

Distressing is used as verb as well as adj. while first 3 options have both words as adj.

Seeing the sentence i feel that the word has to be used like an adjective!! because its qualifying both the nouns.. so we confine to first three options and then first sounds appropriate.. correct where i m wrong..

I guess its third one
1) not relevant
2) negative tone
3) Positive and carries on with the initial part
4)negative again
5) finance is not an issue, and it's more about life than money as is said in the para "massive scale up of treatment programmes is a moral and practical imperative - it will save lives and protect the economies of mny countries by keeping alive their most productive populations"

Hey medulla, I'll go for option no 5... option 3 seems relevant too, but over here, we aren't talkin abt the prevention mechanisms... rather, the cure.. n wat'll be the implications hence, if the govt heads in this particular direction--> increased financial burden!

[madadi]

Hey topgear, have you heard of the participle verbs, which have an '-ing' form in the end, and perform the function of an adjective... for example, a rolling stone, a bleeding finger... this is the same case... here the first words of the last two options are used as adjectives only... thus, you cannot eliminate on that basis!

OOPS, FORGOT TO QUOTE...
this was in reply to Topgear's query 2 posts back..

Yet, prevention will still need to remain the first line of defence in its quest to stop the spread of the epidemic.
