GUYZZZZZZZZZ SMALL STRATEGY/PREPARATION SUGGESTION FOR SECTION-II :-First of all, I will explain strategy I have made:-
I have myself divided section-II into three parts- 1.)Reading Comprehension(RC) - 10 Questions, 2.)English Usage(EU) - 11 Questions( Definitely 2 to 3 Para Jumbles/Para Completion(PJ/PC) Questions will come), 3.)Logical Reasoning(LR) - 9 Questions.
I am comfortable with RC and LR and I am very weak in EU part (except PJ/PC Questions which I have have confidence that I have confidence that I can crack with enough practice from now).
So, what I am planning is to do with Section-II is to do:- 1.) EU - 2 to 3 Questions related to PJ's in 10 minutes, 2.) LR - 7 to 8 Questions in 30 minutes and 3.) RC - 7 to 8 Questions in 30 minutes.
Hence my total number of attempts in Section-II will be 18 to 19 Questions with 95% accuracy so that I will stand above 90 percentile in Section-II even in worst case.
Now, my doubt is while preparing, shall I focus on remaining things like Grammar, Sentence Correction, Para Jumbles, Word Usage, Fill in the Blanks, etc., and waste my time or just be tuned to PJ's, RC's and LR to do well ???????
Why I am asking is, I am thinking why to waste time if I have fixed to leave them on one side and on other side getting thoughts that I may luckily come across some known grammar rule if I read them also and crack one extra question ?????
PLEASE REPLY PUYZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
THANKS IN ADVANCE 😃
Well Santosh, the answer to this question will solely vary from person to person. Had I been in your place, i would've concentrated on my stronger parts n would've left out the EU questions. This is because I feel that if I concentrate on my stronger areas from now on, I'll be be able to perform with around 95% accuracy and the accuracy level may go up with practice. 
I don't know what other puys will think on this issue but as far as my opinion, you should not waste your time just for marking 2 or 3 extra questions, which may take your percentile down, if they turn out to be wrong. 😠
Besides all these opinions, I would suggest, you do whatever you think is best for you because it's you only who can understand yourself better than any one else. All the best! 👍
pls suggest a good book for verbal prep....having wider( even if less volume) of questions

hey puys plzz help me to solve this passage 😃
Answer the following based on the passage given below.Jacques Derrida was one of the most well-known twentieth century philosophers. Distancing himself from the various philosophical movements and traditions, he developed a strategy called “deconstruction”. Although not purely negative, deconstruction is primarily concerned with something tantamount to a critique of the Western philosophical tradition. Deconstruction is generally presented via an analysis of specific texts. It seeks to expose, and then to subvert, the various binary oppositions that undergird our dominant ways of thinking—presence/absence, speech/writing, and so forth. Deconstruction creates dualistic oppositions and installs a hierarchy that unfortunately privileges one term of each dichotomy (presence before absence, speech before writing, and so on). The strategy also aims to show that there are undecidables, that is, something that cannot conform to either side of a dichotomy or opposition. Undecidability returns in later period of Derrida's reflection, when it is applied to reveal paradoxes involved in notions such as gift giving or hospitality, whose conditions of possibility are at the same time their conditions of impossibility. Because of this, it is undecidable whether authentic giving or hospitality are either possible or impossible.Which of the following is/are true about Derrida's “deconstruction”?
It is preoccupied with exposing the dualisms that are supported in our language e.g, moral/immoral.
According to deconstructive approach, the idea of a gift is impossible.
It uncovers the meaning of text by introducing the opposite idea and then assigning to each a hierarchical position.
The idea of giving a gift becomes impossible when the receiver responds with a “thanks”.

Because we had three wars with our neighboring country, we should keep our armed forced ready for the fourth one.
Check out all these statements, many of them look like inference but all of them are judgements
1) So much of our day-to-day focus seems to be on getting thins done, trudging our way through the tasks of living- it can feel like a treadmill that gets you nowhere; where is the childlike joy?
2) We are not doing things that make us happy; that which brings us joy; the things that we cannot wait to do because we enjoy them so much.
3) This is the stuff that joyful living is made of- identifying your calling and committing yourself wholeheartedly to it.
4) When this happens, each moment becomes a celebration of you; there is a rush of energy that comes with feeling completely immersed in doing what you love most.
5) Given the poor quality of service in the public service, the HIV/AIDS affected should be switching to private initiatives that supply anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) at a low cost.
6) But how ironic it is that we should face a perennial shortage of drugs when India is one of the world's largest suppliers of generic drugs to the developing world.
7) The Mid-day Meal scheme has been a significant incentive for the poor to send their little ones to school, thus establishing the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds.
8) The goal of universalisation of elementary education has to be a pre-requisite for the evolution and development of our country.
9) We should not be hopelessly addicted to an erroneous belief that corruption in India is caused by the crookedness of Indians.
10) Red tape leads to corruption and distorts people €™s character.
11) Inequitable distribution of all kinds of resources is certainly one of the strongest and most sinister sources of conflict.
12) Extensive disarmament is the only insurance for our future; imagine the amount of resources that can be released and redeployed.
When can reduce and decrease be used?

The first statement is the correct place. Arrange the remaining sentences to form a coherent para
1) What passes for education today, even in our best schools and colleges is a hopeless anachronism
2) Government ministries, churches, the mass media-all exhort young people to stay in school insisting that now, as never been, one's future is almost wholly dependent upon education
3) Parents look to education to fit their children for life in the future teachers warn that the lack of an education will cripple a child's chances in the world of tomorrow
4) Their vast energies are applied to cranking out industrial men-people tooled for survival in a system that will be dead before they are
5) Yet for all this rhetoric about our future our schools face backward towards a dying system rather than forward to the emerging new society

While most archaeologists believe that primitive European societies were patriarchal in both their social and religious structures, a new controversial theory challenges these traditional views. This theory suggests that during the Stone Age there thrived in and around Europe peace-loving, matriarchal communities in which men and women lived together as equals, respected nature, and worshipped a nurturing deity called the Great Goddess.
The people of ―Old Europe‖—Europe from 7000 B.C. to 3500 B.C.—lived in stable agricultural societies in which women headed clans and men laboured as hunters and builders, but neither sex acted as a dominant force with respect to the other. War was shunned and craftspeople created comfortable dwellings and graceful ceramics instead of weapons. Like the woman-centred social system, the religion of Stone Age Europe focused on women in its veneration of the life-generating Great Goddess and other female deities. Worship was closely linked to the themes of respect for life and regeneration.
Proponents of this theory contend that this peaceful and harmonious society was shattered by waves of Indo-European invaders in about the year 3500 B.C., when marauders from the Russian steppes transformed Europe from a peaceful, agrarian culture to one in which men dominated women and wars raged. Social and sexual egalitarianism were replaced by patriarchy and hierarchy, and warrior gods dethroned the Great Goddess. With the widespread decimation of Old Europe, the goddess-centred religion went underground. However, its symbols have reappeared over the centuries in the forms of the female deities of Greece and Rome, in the Virgin Mary, and in the belief in spiritual forces lurking within the natural world.
The theory of the Great Goddess has been hailed by feminist social critics, artists, and religious thinkers for providing an important alternative to traditional, patriarchal mythologies and paradigms, as well as for providing a new and more positive model for the human relationship to the natural world.
Eminent anthropologist Ashley Montagu calls the theory ―a benchmark in the history of civilization,‖ yet many other investigators into prehistoric Europe consider the theory an unsubstantiated and idealistic version of history. To a number of critics, the chief problem in this radical theory is one of method. Traditional archaeologists, taking issue with unorthodox speculation on ancient belief systems, contend that archaeological evidence may tell us something about what people ate in the small villages of prehistoric Europe, how they built their homes, and what they traded, but cannot tell us much about what the dwellers of the ancient world actually thought. To them, such speculation is illegitimate. The most severe critics warn that, in blurring the distinction between intuition and fact, proponents of the new theory have failed as scientists.
But supporters of the theory of a goddess-worshipping Old Europe counter that such critiques reveal a certain narrow-mindedness on the part of scientists rather than weaknesses on the part of their theory
arguing that some degree of speculation is important, perhaps even necessary, for the sake of progress in archaeology and other fields. This element of speculation helps reveal the implications of a theory.
1. Which of the following would be contrary to what a proponent of the theory of the Great Goddess most likely believes?
A. The available archaeological evidence does not rule out the idea that Old European matriarchal communities existed.
B. The field of archaeology has been dominated in the past by male-oriented scholarship.
C. Matriarchy is conducive to establishing a healthy relationship with the natural world.
D. The decimation of Old European society wiped away all traces of the Great Goddess religion.
E. Most men and women worshipped the Great Goddess
2.Which of the following maxims seems most in agreement with the argument that the supporters of the Great Goddess theory put forth in response to criticism?
A. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
B. A mind is like a parachute in that it only works when open.
C. He who does not understand his opponent's arguments does not understand his own.
D. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
E. The early bird gets the worm
