SRCC GBO 2012 Question Paper

Cool and cold are two states that vary in intensity. For instance, cool is comfortable, but cold is not conducive to oneself. The same relation is displayed by sprain and fracture where sprain is lesser in intensity when compared with fracture. 

Unity and diversity are two opposite concepts altogether because diversity mainly overrides the concept of unity. The same relation is displayed by Lead and Follow, which are opposite poles as well. 

Easy way to look at this: Cow and Dog are two different kinds of animals. The same relation is exhibited by Forests and Mountains, which are two different forms of landscape/land forms. 

The house has a fan, which is located inside the room. Similarly, pocket has money, which is kept in a purse. 

Here, the customer has expressed that the rate is too high for getting one single tooth pulled out, and that too for work that needs only a minute. 

Hence, statement 1 can be a funny punchline, wherein the dentist mocks the patient by asking her to get all the teeth pulled out, which is not a practical solution to secure a discount. 

Even the second statement is a good punchline that counters the argument made by the patient about the work needing only a minute. 

This makes both statements good punchlines.

The son was talking about the carburetor having some water. Hence, any reason against the practical notions shall be a good punchline. 

Statement 1 is not a funny line, considering the possibility of rain while he was checking the carburetor. It can actually be a valid reason. 

Statement 2 is funny, since the line seems to exaggerate the incident, and had the car fallen off the bride, it would not exist anymore.

The psychiatrist said that the man's wife would be completely different (in the sense that she would experience a major change in her personality) after the treatment. Hence, any line that uses the words 'different woman' in the context of having another person altogether shall be funny. 

1. This is a funny statement as it shows that the words of the psychiatrist were used in a different context altogether, and the man used a punchline in the context of having another woman and his wife finding it out. 

2. This is a funny statement as well as he uses the line in context of there being another woman. However, the two punchlines are opposite in nature as the man's attitude of having another woman is different in the two. 

Both options are apt punchlines are they change the course of discussion altogether by twisting the phrase 'new towels' by first mentioning them as gifts on the anniversary and second by mentioning them as the ones brought from the hotel. In both the cases, the towels won't be new, but the two statements are different ideas altogether. 

Statement 1 is a punchline as B induced humor by saying that the interaction with J got him money and J got experience. The tradeoff is shown with a funny statement in this. 

Statement 2 is a punchline as well, because it is presented in an unusual manner. However, the two statements are entirely different in the way they are presented.
