" The legislature is advocating vigorously against intrusion of judiciary in parliamentary affairs."
In one of my practice material, I found the above sentence marked as "FACT".
But, I doubt it is not a fact since the letters in bold contain the word "vigorously". Something "vigorous" for me might be "normal" for another, hence it is non verifiable & therefore not a fact.
Please correct me if I'm going wrong & offer a suitable explanation.

Here the most important aspect is 'advocation'...not vigorous...YES, on higher level first one should verfiy is legislature is favouring or not....we can see howmuch %age...etc later..on reference basis.
so, definitely it is FACT..

1] CDBA 2] BCAD 3] DACB 4] CBAD

Can some one help me out with why the solution is not option 3 and option 1 instead? :lookround:

Answer should be: 1 CDBA
Reason:

it says ..The Cinema is a powerful and effective means of communication....Because of its audio visual character it has great mass appeal.
Now this has to continue with statment: D
i.e. "Such a powerful and.... " obiviously this phrase 'such a powerful'...only refering to 'great mass appeal'

another link:A6... i.e. "It can help to a great extent in enlisting public co-operation in the task of nation-building."....becuase of this powerful impact....."cinema can thus be used as an instrument to help people... "....i.e. what statement 6 says..

Hence ans: Option:1

My Take on this:

1.1
2.4
3.2
4.1

Hey Nitesh,

I have attempted FMS08 paper as a test and scored below scores...
114-QA
54-RC
54-VA
48- DI
do u think these scores'll fetch me calls..?

1. Three RC should be sufficient....but for someone with good reading habits....all 5 RC are Do-able....Solving less than 3 can be risky....read questions first and look for answer...
2. I already wrote about it....anyway i will just write that in FMS 2007, score of 35-40 led to 99.9 percentile....in Jan 2008, score of 20-22 led to 99.9 percentile....(both my guesses....i appeared in both exams and cleared both times)
3. i never follow any fixed strategy...I just start with 1 and end with 50 (or whatever are number of questions)....in jan 2007 i started with RC>>Maths>>LR>>Verbal.....in jan 2008 what i did was Verbal>>Maths>>RC>>LR....I again request you all to considerv the line that "your own strategy will be best strategy"....don't look at others for such answers....just see what works for you...
4. I don't have answer to question raised by Abhishek_fr_CAT .....I think one need to look at last few years questions papers to figure out a pattern in surprises...

1.If a kind of pain is a kind of brain-state , then whenever that pain occurs, so must the corresponding brain state...... I

2.As Putman puts it, it is possible that evolution, all over the universe , might always lead to one and the same physical correlate of pain , but it is ambitious to assume it does. J

3.Any particular token of pain will be identical with some physical state :but we cannot assume that all the tokens of this type of pain correlate with physical state of the same kind.J

4.His solution is to understand mental states functionally ; especially in terms of their bringing about behavior, but to leave open how these function are physically realized : F
