Some decisions will fairly obvious- “no-brainers”. Your bank account is low, but you have a two-week vacation coming up and you want to get away to some place warm to relax with your family. Will you accept your in-laws offer of free use of their Florida beachfront condo? Sure you like your employer and feel ready to move forward in your career. Will you step in for your boss for three weeks while she attends a professional development course? Of course.
A. Some decisions are obvious under certain circumstances. You may, for example, readily accept a relative’s offer of free holiday accommodation. Or step in for your boss when she is away.
B. Some decisions are no-brainers. You need not think when making them examples are condo offers from in-law and job offers from bosses when your bank account is low or boss is away.
C. Easy decisions are called “no-brainers” because they do not require any cerebral activity. Examples such as accepting free holiday accommodation abound in our lives.
D. Accepting an offer from in-laws when you are short on funds and want a holiday is a nobrainer. Another no-brainer is taking the boss’s job when she is away.
Physically, inertia is a feeling that you just can’t move, mentally, it is a sluggish mind. Even if you try to be sensitive, if your mind is sluggish, you just don’t feel anything intensely. You may even see a tragedy enacted in front of your eyes and not be able to respond meaningfully. You may see one person exploiting another, one group persecuting another, and not be able to get angry. Your energy is frozen. You are not deliberately refusing to act you just don’t have the capacity.
A. Inertia makes your body and mind sluggish. They become insensitive to tragedies, exploitation, and persecution because it freezes your energy and decapitates it.
B. When you have inertia you don’t act although you see one person exploiting another or one group persecuting another. You don’t get angry because you are incapable.
C. Inertia is of two types-physical and mental. Physical inertia restricts bodily movements. Mental inertia prevents response to events enacted in front of your eyes.
D. Physical inertia stops your body from moving, mental inertia freezes your energy and stops your mind from responding meaningfully to events, even tragedies, in front of you.
For the word a contextual sentence is given. Pick the word from the alternatives given that is most inappropriate in the given context.
SPECIOUS: A specious argument is not simply a false one but one that has the ring of truth.
PARSIMONIOUS: The evidence was constructed from every parsimonious scrap of information.
FACETIOUS: When I suggested that war is a method of controlling population, my father remarked that I was being facetious.
Answer the question based on the following information. Indicate which of the statements given with that particular question consistent with the description of unreasonable man in the passage below.
Unreasonableness is a tendency to do socially permissible things at the wrong time. The unreasonable man is the sort of person who comes to confide in you when you are busy. He
serenades his beloved when she is ill. He asks a man who has just lost money by paying a bill for a friend to pay for him. He invites a friend to go for a ride just after the friend has finished a long car trip. He is eager to offer services which are not wanted, but which cannot be politely refused. If he is present at arbitration, he stirs up dissension between the two parties, who were really anxious to agree. Such is the unreasonable man.
