Bull Mock CAT 1

Question No. 35. Which of the following will logically complete the paragraph below?     

 Existentialism is a neo-modern, philosophical construct that a further, authentic set of categories is necessary to grasp human behavior. Approaching existentialism categorically like this may conceal its “heart” i.e. its character of an uprising antithetical to academic philosophy, its anti-system sensibility, its flight from the “iron cage” of reason.

            1. Nevertheless, our quest for a new categorical framework continues apace.

            2. Nevertheless, popular existentialist themes find a renewed philosophical significance in our quest for a new categorical framework.

            3. Nevertheless, popular existentialist themes are a recurrent motif and find an echo in humanistic psychology, too.

            4. Nevertheless, he who has a way to live can bear almost anyhow.

DIRECTIONS : Choose the option that represents the most logical order of the given sentences.

Hi guys, I need a sincere advice on this. I am in a great dilemma. I am currently working in TCS. It has been over 9 months now. I am probably one of the few lucky TCSers who have got into project immediately after completing the training (ILP). I am working in a very good project. By very good project,I mean a project that uses a technology that I was trained in and that is in great demand all over the world.I personally like this technology as well. But the thing is there is as such no more work lately. The project is on the verge of completion. I feel like I am wasting my time in the office.Not much to learn now. After completing the office, I barely get some time to read. I want to give my best shot this time. What should I do? Should I continue working in the project or ask for release? Even if I ask for release chances are really slim that they will approve it. Help me guys. What to do now ? 😞

2. This building, once the summer retreat of the Bishops of London, is now a museum and event venue. 
3. Today it’s host to musicians who patiently peer out of one of the windows. 
4. From the outside they’re framed through clouds of wisteria and look suitably romantic.


Please suggest some books for VA.

Answer the question based on the information given in the passage.


Eating only breakfast and lunch may be more effective at managing type 2 diabetes than eating smaller, more regular meals, scientists say. Researchers found that the volunteers who ate two meals a day lost more weight than those who ate six, and their blood sugar dropped. Scientists divided a group of 54 volunteers aged 30 to 70 with type 2 diabetes into two groups of 27 people. Volunteers were then given either a six-meal-a-day diet (A6) for 12 weeks followed by a two-meal day diet (B2), or vice versa. The study compared two meals with six meals. The B2 group ate only breakfast and lunch, and the A6 group ate their food throughout the day. Weight loss for the B2 group averaged 1.4kg (3lb) more than A6, and they lost about 4cm (1.5in) more from their waistlines.

Which of the following strengthens the conclusion of the above study that eating two meals a day may be more effective at managing type 2 diabetes than eating smaller, more regular meals?



1)

The volunteers were given the freedom to choose their diets as long as the calorific value remained the same for each meal.

 2)

The volunteers were fed the same calorie diet spread over the course of two or six meals a day.

 3)

The average rate of metabolism of the first group of volunteers was much lower than that of the second.

 4)

The volunteers who were on two meals a day ate much less than those who were on six meals a day.
