Q:

In the question given below, a statement is given followed by three courses of action. A course of action is taken for improvement, follow up, etc. Read the statement carefully and give your answer.

Statement:
A knife-wielding assailant killed a 29- year-old man and injured four others in a lively neighbourhood near Paris’ famed Opera Garnier before he was killed by police on Saturday night.

Courses of Action:
I. The government should ban the sale of knives in all major cities.
II. Any person seen carrying a knife should be immediately taken into police custody.
III. Policemen should be posted near all major tourist spots to avoid such untoward incidents.

A) Only course of action I follows B) Only course of action II follows
C) Both I and II follow D) Both II and III follow
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

None of the courses of action follow. Banning the sale of knives just because one particular knife-wielding assailant went on a rampage makes no sense. Similarly, taking into police custody all those who are seen carrying knives is not something practical. Knives can be used for so many other purposes not involving the killing/harming of people. Finally, it is not a realistic expectation that posting policemen in all major tourist spots would reduce or altogether stop instances of such occurrences. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.

Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :Helen graduated in 1904with special honours in English.
S6:Here dress was torn and roses were snatched from her hat.
P:She was twenty-four years old.
Q:She was invited to the St. Louis Exposition in 1904 to awaken worldwide interest in the education of the deaf-blind.
R:But on Helen Keller Day the crowds got out of hand.
S:Requests were already flowing in for appearances and for magazine articles.

The proper sequence should be 

A) Q P S R B) S P R Q
C) P S Q R D) S QR P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) P S Q R

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about Helen and her graduation. So, the continuing statement would be talking about the age of Helen when she completed her honours. So, P would be the succeeding statement. So, P being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is PSQR.
