VA Guide for CAT 2008

[sane insane]

@ the_ egonomist
so… the correct answer for Q4 will be b and for Q14. will be d… right??

@medulla.. Q13. curio means a curious article… so doesn’t fit there…

if the above are correct... then that makes my score... 28 out of 30

To make thread less messy and more appropriate

Hey Pguys

From Monday let say i.e 23/06/2008 we follow the below mention method.

If you see on monday morning any post(i.e question) please do not post any question before the previous user had posted the answer
i.e If Person A had posted the question then Person B should wait till Person A post the answer.


Please follow below mention code to post the question and use that code to answer the question and it would be really helpful if you.


Lets follow a code: suggested by Egno

Username - Series no - Date- Page no

For example:

PersonA- VA1 - 20/06/2008-43

Hope everyone follow this.

Note: If you come accross some new user who does not know about this please imform them.

Help each other is same as helping thyself.

So pugys hope you agree with this.

This is the method discussed in Para jumble thread

Hope it will be useful In VA also..

Hope to get positive response for this.... and everyone in this thread agree to this..

Hi puys,

Try following PC (paragraph completion) question:

Neuroscientists have developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act. The technique involves brain imaging which has been used to identify the tell-tale activity linked to lying, violent behaviour and racial prejudice. This latest work reveals the dramatic pace at which neuroscience is progressing, prompting the researchers to call for an urgent debate into the ethical issues surrounding future uses for the technology. If brain-reading can be refined, it could quickly be adopted to assist interrogations of criminals and terrorists. ________________________

1. The ability to probe people's intentions, minds, background thoughts, hopes and emotions raises certain ethical issues.
2. Researchers are already devising way to deduce the nature of patterns that are associated with different thoughts.
3. Rapid advances in neuroscience have forced scientists in the field to set up their own neuroethics society to consider the ramifications of their research.
4. However, it is just another new technology that society has to come to terms with and use for the good.
5. This technology could also drive advances in brain-controlled computers and machinery to boost the quality of life for disabled people.

I will post the answer by 5pm
All the best

Hi puys,
SC is one of the areas where I need to work on. I have posted my answer with explanation. Would be great if you could let me know whether the approach I followed is correct or not!
Eliminated 1: ethical issues have already been mentioned before.
Eliminated 2: this should have gone earlier.
Eliminated 3: this also should have gone earlier and does not fit here.
Confused between 4 and 5: Would go for option 5, since this is another positive point, following the last sentence. I felt option 4 could come after option 5, if we were to follow a sequence.
Hence, my take option 5!
Cheers!

Hi Puys,

I just thought I would give more time to Puys as there were few replies. But I guess some users are desparate for the answers.

The answer is option 5.
Let me know if anyone needs explanation.

[medulla]

Sorry...
Double post.. some problem with browser...

[gaurav85.gupta]

Yes I need it.
