Test-2 key

1)4   2)3

3)Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The first sentence says that women's boxing has not been recognized as an Olympic sport. Sentence A follows with the idea that the IBA is campaigning towards including it in the 2008 Olympics. Taking up boxing as a profession or getting a government job as mentioned in sentences B and C cannot be a great 'dream' to be fulfilled which is the idea stated in the last sentence.

4)  Answer is B. The paragraph describes 19th century Japan and Second World War Germany to highlight the fact that technological change results in a “lumpy and bumpy” world where old and new technologies co-exist, piling on top of each other. 

This idea is best captured by option (B). Technologies layer and stack and endure over time.

Option (A) talks of factors other than “efficiency” driving technological change. This is unrelated to the rest of the paragraph.

Option (C) states that “the best ideas” do not necessarily become popular right away. The paragraph does not describe any “great ideas” and say that these were unpopular when they were first introduced.

Option (D) states that innovations do not spread at the same rate; some are adopted slowly while some catch on quickly. The paragraph given, however, does not relate to this idea. 

5) The paragraph describes populists as "allergic to reflection" and naturally "kinetic". Why kinetic? Because they do not like to pause and think through details. Instead, they simply insist that there are simple solutions to complex problems, and that these solutions are held back from the public by the "elite".

Now, let us consider the options to see which sentence fits best in the given paragraph.

Option A states that populists point out the problems in "accepted political wisdom". It is not clear what this accepted wisdom is from the paragraph. Nor does the paragraph describe how populists position themselves against conventional political ideas. So, this is not a good option to start the given paragraph.

Option B says that populists are catalysts for political change. Now, the paragraph is not about political change brought about by populists. The paragraph only argues that populists insist on simple solutions to complex problems. That populists accelerate change is not the main idea of the paragraph. So, this option too is ruled out.

According to option C, populists survive by "staying in motion". This relates to the idea of populists being "naturally kinetic" and not pausing for thought. The paragraph argues that populists do not like to reflect; instead of thinking through problems, they facilely insist on simple solutions to problems. Option C fits well in the given paragraph.

Option D states that populists pit people against an "intransigent" elite. But the paragraph does not build on the idea that populists project the elite as unbending. In fact, the paragraph does not even group the elite as a single unit, but as an assortment: "saboteurs", "enemies of the people" and even "consumers of carrot cake" form the "metropolitan elite". So, D is not a good option to complete the given paragraph.

The question is " Choose the Sentence that completes the Paragraph "

Hence, the answer is Sentence C
