Option B mentions a book which is published by a respected person and the book is expected to be something positive. Option A has the mention of a book which reveals secret information and which might be undesired by the ones in power. Hence, it is liable to be banned but not the book in B.
Hi Sreedevi, It is not an RC or Para summary question. We have to find what "Ceecee" might refer to from the part of the sentence given. "Proscribe" means to forbid something. Thus, whatever Ceecee refers to must be negative in some sense. Only option A fits the description. I hope this helps.
Hi Anjali, This question is from the XAT 2010 paper - such questions do not appear on the CAT exam. In fact, we haven't come across such questions in any of the major MBA entrances (such as XAT, IIFT, SNAP etc.) in recent years.
In the first paragraph, it's given that 'pollutants such as CO2'. So in question 5, statement 1 isn't entirely true. SO shouldn't the answer be option b, 'only 2 and 3'.
Hi Prasad, A carbon tax is imposed on businesses that produce CO2, and we can state that option 1 is true in this sense. In the first paragraph, it is mentioned 'imposition of a price on the generation of pollutants', thus we can safely assume option 1 to be true. Hope this helps!
What is the source of this passage? This humankind book seems to have a really good reviews on Goodreads. I want to read it and the original article as well.
