Parajumbles for CAT 2008

[subho_86]

Even I marked it as 5 in the exam but sadly it was wrong. i.e according to the solution. Its really very confusing. The answer is [3].

Explaination: A is the opening statement as it introduces the topic of need structure and the individual's role in it. The AED link is very prominent. E follows next as once the individual becomes part of the 'larger organizational level group' the concept of the 'basic need' will change. D follows by giving the example of the idea stated in E. C follows with the result of the idea stated in the AED link. The BF link is also strong, as B, which follows C, presents the idea that safety need is apparently superseded by the esteem need and F follows with a contrast (implied by 'how ever'). Thus the sequence formed is AEDCBF. Hence, [3].

My take: ADEBFC

Clearly out of A and B, A starts the sequence. A talks about identification and how and individual surpasses his own needs to become part of larger org.
D gives and example of A by quoting war and there by the issue of safety

Here we can observe that either option 2 or 5 satisfy AD pair. EBF comes in a sequence in both. So all we need to decide is the position of C. We can clearly observe that option 5 makes a lot more sense

my take on this is
5] ADEBFC

All this is happening and people are still posting answers to your question because your title is Shivam_01-PJ4-10/7/2008-pg99

A. Individuals, through identification, often transcend the boundaries of their own need structure and mentally become part of a larger organizational level group.

B. It would appear that the extreme need in such instances is taking precedence over the safety need.

C. Therefore we should not be misled into thinking that the hierarchy of the need structure does not hold true when an individual willingly risks death (safety need) for national honour (esteem need).

D. For example, the great majority of people in most nations do not want war, but their identification through nationalism permits them to be persuaded and propagandized into conflict and thereby put their safety in jeopardy.

E. Thereafter, in certain cases a less basic need of the group - for example, esteem - will take precedence over a more basic need - safety, for instance.

F. However, because of identification, this is not the case.

Hiii..
I just thought to share my idea behind AED link..
See..A talks of identification, organizational level....
After that if u go for D..which talks of conflict and safety....the flow seems abrupt..
Better if E preceeds it with the idea of safety and priority level..

Again dont ignore the strongest link..DC...talking of nationalism and then national honour..

I think F is a better one concluding the paragraph..than C..

So overall AEDCBF has an edge....

What do u all say??

Strong link DC.. therefore 1) and 5) are eliminated...
B cannot start the sentence... hence 4) also eliminated...

of 2) and 3), 3 seems to be more appropriate.

Ans: AEDCBF

the biggest thing i see is B has to follow C...coz C shows wha are safety and esteem needs whereas B talks abt them...hence, 3 options straight away eliminated!
Also, there is a strong connexion betn D and C but then E lingers if we choose that...hence, i fully with yr answer with more conviction
