Azhar Arain
Answer.
Tuan
Hi.
Amol Ganorkar
The answer to question 27 should be "D" and not "C" as it clearly gives information about academic counselling services.
Hari
Can anyone explain the answer to question 27, please? The right answer is 'C' but the paragraph does not mention the orientation of new students. It says during the program, you'll meet various people.
Nerisa
Regarding the "from your first day", we find that this paragraph is related to new students.
Hari
Question 27: I've marked 'F' but the correct answer is 'C'. The paragraph doesn't mention about orientation for new students. It says during the program you will meet various people.
Siddharth H Kanojiya
In question 17, there is no information about similar programs rather than the USA? So the answer should be 'NG'.
Asha
Why the answer to question 20 is Not Given? It is clearly given- Over 18 years old. Therefor it should be "True".
Rishi
Over 18 is the lower age limit. It does not mention anything about the upper limit. Therefore, the answer is "Not Given".
Vikas Bhatia
I also have the same confusion, as I also wrote 'False' and they show it as 'Not Given'.
Vinod Babu
That's upper age limit, which isn't specified.
Tejas
In my opinion, the answer to question 20 should be FALSE because the passage states that YOU CAN TAKE UP THIS OPPORTUNITY IF YOU ARE over 18 years old by November in the academic year in which you apply to InterExchange. So you could be any age over 18. Hence there is no age limit.Why should it be 'not given'?
Annie
I share the same sentiments. An age was given and it's over 18, so it can't be "Not Given".
Mehak
Q. 37?
Lakshmi
10/13.
Navneet
The question is about uniform manufacturing "carefully made" which isn't given in the paragraph anywhere. Hence, it is 'NG'.
Karan
Join the club.
Lenilson
I still don't understand why the answer to Q. 37 is considered positive. Can someone help me? Cheers!
Yogendrasingh Bisht
The answer to the question 34 is "Not given", and it's correct.
Abirami
Can someone tell why the answer to the question 39 is 'NOT GIVEN'? In paragraph C, the line - "Subliminally we see all these things, "says Lynn Elvy, a director of image consultants House of Colour. So I gave my answer as 'NO'.
Abirami
May I know why the answer to the question 34 is 'Yes'? As per my understanding, recently uniforms are given more importance than in the past... Can someone explain it, please?
Abirami
In Passage B, you can see a line "...in uniting the workforce into a homogenous unit". This is why the answer to it is 'YES'.
Priyam Chaturvedi
The answer to the question 40 should apparently be 'NG'. There is no information about the things which are going to take place in the future.
Mohit
How is 35 'yes'? How about 40? I think it should be 'NG'.
Gaurav
I am unable to find the answer to Q. 35. Can anybody help me?
Daniel
Could anyone explain the answer to question 36, please?
Vikram
Read the passages carefully and correctly.
Caio
Could not get the answer to question 35. Where is it in the passage? Thanks.
Johana
It is 'No' because only 22 companies make the 85% of the sales, which means 978 companies only make 25%. That is why most of the companies are unsuccessful.
Surjit
Please explain questions from section C and their answers!!!
Shahed Al Hasan
Thanks. Nice article :)
Key
Tense problem. "are planning to" means not happen yet, however, in the article, it already has done.
Jay
Read paragraph D, which says companies are not always successful. Out of 1000 only 22 accounts for 85% sales.
Sachin Patel
I do not understand Q. 38's answer. Why is it 'no'? I did not find related topic/discussion in any paragraph.
Armada
Look at paragraph 'F', the last sentence - have been made...
Rashmi
Why is the answer to Q. 40 "No"?
Vasyl
Smart and neat are synonyms. So "Neatness can suggest efficiency but, if it is overdone, it can spill over and indicate an obsession with power." - means the answer is 'YES'.
Pham Thi Quynh Nhu
Could you explain me about sentences 37? In my opinion, It is 'Not given'. I don't see the information in the paragraph. Thank you.
German
Wow, this piece of writing is good.
