Five jumbled up sentences, related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph. Identify the odd one out and key in the number of the sentence as your answer:

2. In the US alone, April saw more than four million people quit their jobs, according to a summary from the Department of Labor – the biggest spike on record.

3. There are a number of reasons people are seeking a change, in what some economists have dubbed the ‘Great Resignation’.

4. A Microsoft survey of more than 30,000 global workers showed that 41% of workers were considering quitting or changing professions this year, and a study from HR software company Personio of workers in the UK and Ireland showed 38% of those surveyed planned to quit in the next six months to a year.

5. For some workers, the pandemic precipitated a shift in priorities, encouraging them to pursue a ‘dream job’, or transition to being a stay-at-home parent.

The paragraph given below is followed by four alternative summaries. Choose the one that best carries the essence of the passage.

As for his poetry, it’s unlovable and it’s irresistible. English verse is not the same after Donne. Harmony and gentility—the music of Spenser—go out the window, and in comes a ferocious, sometimes grating intellectual energy and an intense superiority. You can read pages of Donne and register only the oppressive proximity of his pulsing brain.  But then he’ll snag you. “Busy old fool, unruly sun,” grumbles the lover as daylight pushes in at the bedroom window. “Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide / Late school boys.” Encrusted as his vocabulary could be, he had a shocking talent for immediate, everyday speech.

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the proper sequence of order of the sentences, and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.

1) Collective property is a different idea: here the community as a whole determines how important resources are to be used.

2) In a private property system, property rules are organised around the idea that various contested resources are assigned to the decisional authority of particular individuals (or families or firms).

3) These determinations are made on the basis of the social interest through mechanisms of collective decision-making.

4) A tract of common land, for example, may be used by everyone in a community for grazing cattle or gathering food.

1) In 1947, Wilma Soss rose to speak at the annual general meeting of US Steel, asking the corporation to take the unusual step of appointing a woman to the board.

2) The gentlemen declined, and showed their displeasure at Soss’s temerity.

3) Sadly, Soss also inaugurated a concomitant tradition: that of shareholders’ having little to no real impact on the companies they pressure.

4) But, as she said later, ‘if they had treated me better there would have been no Federation of Women Shareholders’—the organisation Soss founded soon after the incident.

1) They can still be exploited and used as a means to an end in zoos and aquariums, research laboratories and other situations, as long as they don’t suffer ‘unnecessary’ cruelty.

2) A monkey in a laboratory, under welfare regulations, is allowed to be subjected to invasive, painful, and terminal procedures if they are deemed necessary for the research.

3) Only a rights-based approach questions the foundational morality and legality of using animals in the first place.

4) Unfortunately, what is considered unnecessary is defined entirely by how humans use the other animals.

5) But all these kinds of welfare-based protections prioritise human interests over the needs of animals.

The paragraph given below is followed by four alternative summaries. Choose the one that best carries the essence of the passage.

Our brain is far too complex a system to understand. And, ancient Greek writers thought the brain worked like a hydraulic water clock. European writers in the Middle Ages suggested that thoughts operated through gear-like mechanisms. In the 19th century the brain was like a telegraph; a few decades later, it was more like a telephone network. Cryptic and inapt metaphors, right? Even in modern times, people thought the brain worked like a digital computer, and that maybe they could build computers that work like the brain, or talk to it. Although the absence of apt figurative language didn’t stop anyone from studying brains, of course, sometimes people confused the map for the terrain, and with detrimental effects.
