SAMPLE QUESTIONS
VERBAL ABILITY/READING COMPREHENSION

Q. 1-3 Directions: The passage below is followed by questions based on its

contents. Read the passage, and choose the best answer on the basis of the passage
content, stated or implied.

Passage

Adversity like that faced by the Swiss watchmakers has the virtue of starkly limiting
the alternatives. A company that decides to expand by acquisition has the wide world
of commerce before it, subject only to availability and price. The plethora of choices
is one explanation of the many poor selections. The best decisions follow when the
purpose is most clearly defined. At least the decision maker then knows exactly what
he is trying to achieve and why.
The Swiss were trying to achieve survival - an aim so ‘transcendent’ that the “why”
needn’t be asked. The only important question was “How,” and the only answer (which
their Japanese rivals have always chosen as the most rewarding approach) is to probe
for weakness of the opposition, and then to kick the Achilles heel with steel-tipped
boots. In this instance, the weakness (to which Japanese business is strangely prone)
was lack of modern fashion sense. The electronic timepieces were being sold as wrist
machinery; that gave Swiss Company its opportunity.

Q. 1 In the context of the passage which of the following is closest in meaning to

the word “plethora” as given in bold.

1. paucity 2. Nature 3.Quanlity

4. Excess 5. Other than those given as options

Q.2. Which of the following was true in the case of business difficulties of the
Swiss watch makers as per the passage ?
(1) The Swiss watch maker had virtually no limitation of available choices for
taking decision in the instant case of difficulties.
(2) A large number of available alternatives would have probably made
the Swiss Watch makers’
decision making process better.
(3) The limited number of available choices in the instant situation made
the Swiss Watch makers’ decision making process easier.
(4) The Swiss watch makers lacked clarity about the objective to be achieved.
(5) Other than those given as options

Q.3. Which of the following holds good in the case of Swiss or Japanese
watch making companies ?
(1) Japanese watch making companies had rewarding experience in regard to
wrist watches because of their modern fashion sense.
(2) In the past, Swiss watch companies were always probing for the
weakness of their rival Japanese companies to succeed in competition.
(3) The Japanese watch companies were having tough time from their strong Swiss
rivals.

12
 Information Brochure MAH-MBA/MMS-CET 2023
(4) The solution to the problem of Swiss Companies was in the
weakness of Japanese companies lacking in modern fashion for wrist
watches.
(5) Other than those given as options

Q.4. The following sentence is broken into 4 parts. Find out if any of the part has an
error, and the number of that part is your answer. If no part has an error, your

is printed in bold. The sentence is followed by five ways of writing the bold
part. Answer choice (1) repeats the original or there is no change; the other

change is required; choose (1) as your answer. If you think that any other
answer choice is the best, select that as your answer and indicate it on your
answersheet properly.
