(1) Some commentators have gone so far as to suggest that whereas the problem in the nineteenth century was that ‘God is dead!’, the problem in the twentieth century is that ‘Man is dead!’.
(2) Rarely have psychotherapists sought the cause of neurosis in the economic and political system within which we live.
(3) The widespread disease of the modern soul is said to consist of anxiety, guilt and emptiness linked to a stifling sense of meaninglessness, boredom and deadness.
(4) Most psychotherapists have approached this modern problem by attempting to alleviate symptoms of disease on the basis of the Freudian hypothesis.
(5) Instead, the underlying premise has always been that the neurotic individual is dysfunctional and the industrial system is normal, in other words that neurosis should be essentially defined by the inability of the individual to function normally within that system.
(6) More recently, therapists have emphasized the need to re-live repressed childhood trauma, so reliving the symptoms of the repression that is its cause.

1. The Genie, voiced by Robin Williams, sprouts a snowy comb-over and puts on an unmistakable smirk.
2. Buckley was irked, as by this time, his linguistic quirks had become such a fixture of U.S. political culture that they were being satirized in Disney movies.
3. The excessive verbiage and the aristocratic English accent being mocked were none other than William F. Buckley’s.
4. Early in Aladdin, released in 1992, Aladdin asks the Genie: “You’re going to grant me any three wishes I want, right?”
5. “Almost,” he replies, and then adds, “but there are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quo.”

Fij (1) Come 2010 and the Indian small car market will be all set to hit fourth gear. (2) Close to a dozen new small cars from big names, including Maruti Suzuki, Honda, Ford, Fiat and Toyota, are expected to hit the Indian roads rejuvenating the market that accounts for as much as 75% of car sales. (3) The current lot of small cars could possibly be headed for a phase-out prompted by hefty discounts that manufacturers are now offering as they try to clear their stocks. (4) New vehicles launches, set to spoil you for a choice, come at a time when car makers the world over focus on India, which has emerged as one of the hottest destinations for now. (5) The competition is set to hot up in the already bustling sector; so those of you waiting to buy a small car can happily hold on for some more time.a)FFFIJb)JIIIIc)JIIJJd)JFIFJ
Domination and inequities of power and wealth are perennial facts of human society. But in today’s global setting they are also interpretable as having something to do with imperialism, its history, its new form. Today’s developing nations may be politically independent but in many ways they are as dominated and dependent as they were when ruled directly by colonial powers. On the one hand, we may consider this the consequence of self-inflicted wounds. On the other, we may blame the erstwhile colonists sweepingly for the misfortune of the present. _______.a)Imperialism and colonialism have left their marks on the present in ways that are more significant than we realise.b)The truth is that neither is the case.c)What we need to do, however, is to look at these matters as a network of interdependent histories – senseless to repress, interesting to understand.d)What we need to do, however, is to recognize these as mutually exclusive aspects of development.
(1) If the supply of certain critical raw materials can be made available, atomic power stations can be built supplying almost one-third of the country’s total electricity requirements. (2) Coal, our traditional source of energy, is becoming increasingly difficult to mine. (3) If we are to flourish, we have to generate more electricity by burning coal, which would be almost impossible. (4) A considerable part of this increased consumption can now come from atomic power, thereby solving the problem to some extent. (5) Nuclear energy has arrived just in time to save us from the threat of a fuel famine which could have caused an economic disaster. (6) And the additional benefit of the reduction in demand for coal will be that more people will be prepared to part with their dirty, smog-making open fires for cleaner electric ones.
Pj (1) Our own free will is the strongest force directing the development of our brains. (2) The brain is not a computer that simply executes genetically predetermined programs. (3) Genes and environment interact to continually change the brain. (4) Once we understand how the brain develops, we can train our brains for health, vibrancy and longevity. (5) We can actively shape the way our brains develop throughout the course of our life, to the extent that genes allow it. (6) However, we are not prisoners of our genes or environment.
SENTENCE CORRECTION :: CANDID DISCUSSION
"Staring each sentence correction statement post any Mock for atleast 3 minutes automatically reveals the error to me."
What should i do to improve my accuracy in these questions. They have been a nightmare!
PARAJUMBLE + Odd One Out -
1) Omission and simplification help us to understand -- but help us, in many cases, to understand the wrong thing.
(2) However elegant and memorable, brevity can never, in the nature of things, do justice to all the facts of a complex situation.
(3) The subject of freedom and its enemies is enormous, and what I have written is certainly too short to do it full justice.
(4) The soul of wit may become the very body of untruth.
(5) For our comprehension may be only of the abbreviator's neatly formulated notions, not of the vast, ramifying reality from which these notions have been so arbitrarily abstracted.
(6) On such a theme one can be brief only by omission and simplification.
a) Which is the odd one out?
b) What is the correct order of remaining 5 sentences?
The sentences given in each of the following questions, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is indicated with a number. Choose the most logical order of sentences that constructs a coherent paragraph and indicate the correct sequence of numbers in the box provided below each question. 30.

A radio failure on December 5th caused the worst delays in the history of Brazilian air travel. In the time it took to fly the 400km (250 miles) from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, a traveller could have driven there and back. This followed two months of unaddressed problems that have crippled aviation in a vast country in which flying is often the only way to get around. They began when an executive jet collided with a commercial aeroplane in mid-air, knocking it out of the sky and killing 154 people. a) Stung by criticism, the controllers began a work-to-rule. b) Brazilians discovered that their airspace is pocked with blind spots, that equipment is faulty and lacks backups and that, as elsewhere, pirate radio stations are interfering with communications between controllers and pilots. c) The underlying problems are that the air force runs air-traffic control and it and the government have failed to keep up with booming traffic. d) Air-traffic controllers, the pilots of the executive jet and the jet itself are all expected to share the blame.

- Time was when people found it easier to lie when they didn’t have to lie directly to somebody. Then we learnt from studies that people lie more easily on telephones or SMS than on one’s face. That’s what gave rise to that industry with sound track services that would allow you to tell your wife you were caught
up in traffic when you were at a bar with your pals, with the sound track on your cell phone playing honks and curses of the traffic in the background.________
a)
New technology is creating new kinds of crimes.
