So I threw the clothes, books, shoes, and toiletries back into the suitcase, carried it out to the driveway, and dumped the contents onto the pavement, ready to stomp on any other cockroach stowaways. But there was only the one cockroach, dead and stiff. As he lay on the pavement, I leaned closer to him. His legs were curled under his body. His head was tilted at a sad angle. Sad? Yes, sad. a. For I was feeling empathy for a dead cockroach. b. So where had this little vermin come from? c. For I wondered sadly about its story. d. For who is lonelier than the cockroach without his tribe? e. It must have felt disappointment at being killed. 32 . Google has garnered a lot of attention and some success with its "20% time" idea, which enables every engineer to spend one day a week working on projects that don't fit in their job description. In my observation, just announcing that every engineer is expected to spend a certain fraction of his time on innovative ideas won't magically lead to innovation. Plus, it's very difficult to consider the 20% time model at a startup: _____. 1) most startups just don't have the luxury of 20% excess engineering capacity. 2) most startups just don't have rock-star Computer Science graduates from top universities. 3) most startups just don't have an environment that seems to bring out great ideas. 4) most startups just don't have people with interests and passions that extend well beyond work.5)most startups just don't have the incentives for people to go above and beyond the call of duty.33. Mattancherry is Indian Jewry's most famous settlement. Its pretty streets of pastel coloured houses, connected by first-floor passages and home to the last twelve saree-and-sarong-wearing, white-skinned Indian Jews are visited by thousands of tourists each year. Its synagogue, built in 1568, with a floor of blue-and-white Chinese tiles, a carpet given by Haile Selassie and the frosty Yaheh selling tickets at the door, stands as an image of religious tolerance.(1) Mattancherry represents, therefore, the perfect picture of peaceful co-existence. (2) India's Jews have almost never suffered discrimination, except for European colonizers and each other.(3) Jews in India were always tolerant. (4) Religious tolerance has always been only a faade and nothing more. (5) The pretty pastel streets are, thus, very popular with the tourists.34. Given the cultural and intellectual interconnections, the question of what is 'Western' and what is 'Eastern' (or' Indian) is often hard to decide, and the issue can be discussed only in more dialectical terms. The diagnosis of a thought as 'purely Western' or 'purely Indian' can be very illusory.(1) Thoughts are not the kind of things that can be easily categorized. (2) Thought 'occidentalism' and 'orientalism' as dichotomous concepts have found many adherents. (3) 'East is East and West is West' has been a discredited notion for a long time now. (4) Compartmentalizing thoughts is often desirable. (5) The origin of a thought is not the kind of thing to which 'purity' happens easily.35. This film is Science Fiction with a difference. The aliens are not evil, but perhaps the humans are. Humans being evil is not an uncommon theme as there are war films which veer towards this idea. But Avatar tackles other complex issues as well. It talks of the Balance of Life. That is why this film moved me, very deeply. The movie is appropriate in these times. ___.1) What moved me was the meaning behind the movie and the story.2) The reality is that all living things are dependent on each other.3) It is time that we humans thought about the Balance of Life.4) I thought of the aliens as humans and of humans as monsters and aliens.

32 Option 1)
32 Option 1)
The direction of the paragraph is, even though Google has had some success with 20%time, just announcing that every engineer is expected to spend a certain fraction of their time on innovative ideas won't magically lead to innovation. The reasons could be anything from options 2 to 5. The last sentence of the paragraph, in order to be closed, should say something different from this because the second last sentence begins with plus why it is difficult to even consider it.
Only one option specifically addresses the difficulty which is lack of excess capacity.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
Only one option specifically addresses the difficulty which is lack of excess capacity.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

34 5
35 Option 3)
The last sentence in this question takes off directly from the sentence before it and concludes the paragraph. Why is the movie appropriate in these times? That is a loose end that the writer has left in the paragraph. Option 3 provides the reason and scores over the other options.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

36. One often finds the corporate world teeming with false leaders. They know to walk the walk and talk the talk, but simply don't know what the talk is all about. They know how to dress, how to carry their laptops and their Blackberrys, what cars to drive, which clubs to join, where to be seen, with whom and how to use words like 'value enhancement' and 'on the same page'. In other words, they know the behaviour that projects them as 'corporate leaders'. ____.
1) But they rely on their degrees, credentials and testimonies.
2) But they do not know how to do business.
3) But they have no clue as to what leadership actually means.
4) But they never immerse themselves in market research.5) And a good mime can fool an audience.

37. In opposing government regulation of business, conservatives often appeal to the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government, expressing the wish that government would get off the backs of the American people.

(C) a limitation on the amount of sexually provocative material appearing in books, motives, and television shows

38) The most serious flaw in televisions coverage of election campaigns is its tendency to focus on the horse-race side of politicsthat is, to concentrate on the question Whos winning? at the expense of substantive coverage of the issues and the candidates positions on them. The endless interviews with campaign managers, discussions of campaign strategies, and, especially, the obsession with opinion polls have surrounded elections with the atmosphere of a football game or a prizefight. To reform this situation, a first step might well be______
(A) a shortening of the length of election campaigns to a period of six weeks
(B) a stringent limit on campaign spending
(C) a reduction in the television coverage of opinion polls during election campaigns
(D) the publication and distribution of voter-education literature to inform the public about each candidates position on the major issues

36. The purpose of the paragraph is to highlight the false leaders in the corporate world - they are mere appearances with the right 'degrees' etc. But they have no clue as to what true leadership means.
Option 1 gives one more detail about their falseness but it does not close the paragraph.
Option 2 is correct but loses out to option 3 because the paragraph is about leadership.
Option 4, like option 1, continues the paragraph.
Option 5 is an unwarranted generalisation.
Option 3 closes the paragraph smoothly.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

hello everybody. i'm varatharaj doing pre final year in mechanical engineering in coimbatore(tamilnadu).Right from the day i know about cat i started dreaming being an IIM er! MBA is my passion. im preparing for CAT 2013. As i was from a lower middle class background i cant afford to pay the coaching class fee. now iam preparing for CAT using the books from my college library.
but those books are really confusing and deviated from the actual CAT questions.i dont have a pc too. so i cant refer any online materials. i spend 4 hours daily for preparing CAT. my friend advised me that 4 hours of such preparations=1 hour of preparation by using standard materials like TIME,IMS. i went to TIME and ask them whether i can get the materials alone for a cheaper price. they said they will provide material only along with a course. and that course costs 20000! i was heart broken! i desperately need some standard books. i would be greatly thankful if someone is will to donate extra materials or old materials! PG is my only hope. so please help me! thank you all
