Directions for Questions 1 to 4: In each question, there are five sentences/paragraphs. The sentence/paragraph labelled A is in its correct place. The four that follow are labelled B, C, D and E, and need to be arranged in the logical order to form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the most appropriate option.
1.

1. In Mr. Depp’s portrayal, words come first in the shaping of a phrase.
2. But too many opera singers are overly focused on making beautiful sounds and sending notes soaring at the expense of crisp diction and textual clarity.
3. These principles of vocal artistry matter just as much onstage, as the best operatic artists understand.
4. They could learn something from Mr. Depp’s verbally dynamic singing.
5. Expression, nuance, intention and controlled intensity matter more than vocal richness and sustaining power.

2.

1. Although the “cyber coolie” metaphor may be overdrawn, many voice and non-voice agents do report that they experience their work as contributing to exit and burnout.
2. Yet, the existing distinctive characteristics of the Indian BPO industry embody significant pressures: nocturnal call-handling for overseas customers, long commuting times, extended shifts and unpaid overtime, all of which have health and work-life balance implications.
3. The outcome of these imply increasing pressure on workers: longer shifts, shorter and fewer breaks and tighter targets.
4. In recent times, many employees have experienced an intensification of work, stemming from sharpened competition in the outsourcing market, affecting both captives and third parties, rising costs in India and reducing margins.
5. While companies have sought to realise cost savings through economies of scale, concomitant with this has been this focus on leveraging efficiencies through “managing productivity and utilisation”.

3.

1. The very meaning and mission of deconstruction is to show that things do not have definable meanings and determinable missions, that they are always more than any mission would impose, that they exceed the boundaries they currently occupy.
2. A “meaning” or a “mission” is a way to contain and compact things, like a nutshell, gathering them into a unity, whereas deconstruction bends all its efforts to stretch beyond these boundaries, to transgress these confines, to interrupt and disjoin all such gathering.
3. What is really going on in things, what is really happening, is always to come.
4. Whenever it runs up against a limit, deconstruction presses against it. Whenever deconstruction finds a nutshell the very idea is to crack it open and disturb this tranquility.
5. Every time you try to stabilise the meaning of a thing, to fix in its missionary position, the thing itself, if there is anything at all to it, slips away.

4.

1. Notably, same-sex relationships, whether between men or women, were far more egalitarian than heterosexual ones.
2. While the gay and lesbian couples had about the same rate of conflict as the heterosexual ones, they appeared to have more relationship satisfaction, suggesting that the inequality of opposite-sex relationships can take a toll.
3. Heterosexual married women live with a lot of anger about having to do the tasks not only in the house but in the relationship. That’s very different from what same-sex couples and heterosexual men live with.
4. With same-sex couples, of course, none of these dichotomies were possible, and the partners tended to share the burdens far more equally.
5. In heterosexual couples, women did far more of the housework; men were more likely to have the financial responsibility; and men were more likely to initiate sex, while women were more likely to refuse it or to start a conversation about problems in the relationship.

solution provided in the book :::

1.3 DB is a mandatory pair and only option 3 has it.

2.2 DB is a mandatory pair

3.3 D should be the concluding sentence and hence it is present in only option 3

4.4 CD is the mandatory pair

5.3. CA is the mandatory pair hence option 3

but i felt that option 1 is best suite any ways got 4 correct out 5.

Hi Puys...

Try following questions.

A. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to observe and
understand the thought process behind the ads that have been
loding bith the print and the TV media.
B. Although there is a huge shift in the quality of ads that we come
across on a daily basis -- thanks essentially to improvements in
technology--I somehow can't hel but feel that the quality of
communication of the message has been diluted.
C. Proportionally, the number of ads that lack in the quality, have gone
up exponentially as well.
D. There is an increasing attempt by most of the companies to be seen
as cool and funky.
E. Another reaon could be the burgeoning number of companies, which
means an exponential increase in the number of ads that are being
made.

4. BADCE

Q2]

A. The probate proceedings are often derailed for a variety of reasons.

what is known as the probate petition before the court.
C. A legal heir may, for instance, question the authenticity of the will or
the atate of mind in which it was written.
D. This is specialy needed where the deceased person has made a
bequest of immovable properties (real estate etc)
E. There are also times when, in the middle of the proceedings, someone
may suddenly comes up with an altogether different will purportedly
supersending the earlier one.
Optios are:
