I was intrigued because this is a good restaurant which most people enjoy eating at very much. The staff are helpful and courteous, the food is delicious, and the people who come there are, for the most part, regulars. You can thus imagine my surprise when I heard a loud, angry voice booming from a table nearly. Now. I'm a curious person by nature, so I walked over to the nearest table I could get to. I walked over to the nearest table I could get to. I saw a guest frantically, gesticulating both at the server as well as his food. His body language was screaming anger and indignation, as were his facial expressions. He was very loudly telling the server how he was paying for good food and therefore he demanded nothing but the best, as well as the highest order of respect. He mentioned that he was a food critic on an online forum and that he would write an honest review of the restaurant. I zoned out of his tirade and looked around at the other people there to grab a (usually) happy lunch. Nearly everyone was starting at the guest, some with a look of disbelief. Would you like dealing with someone as aggressive as him? There is an important difference between being aggressive and being assertive. While aggressive communication makes people withdraw from you and want to avoid you assertiveness makes people want to follow you. Add to this the art of persuasion and you have a winning combination. 1. Choose the word similar in meaning to the word, "tirade."

It's known as gene expression or epigenetics. Gene expression is a process in which certain genes are turned on or off during one's lifetime. The human body contains approximately 100 trillion cells. Within each cell is the nucleus. Inside every nucleus of every cell are our genes. Experts estimate that the average human has over 20,000 genes. Some of these genes came from our mothers and some from our fathers. Believe it or not, your daily habits can turn genes on or off. Bad habits can turn off good genes and turn on bad genes. This could mean opening the door to cancer, diabetes, various addictions, brain damage, heart diseases, etc. Bad habits can create long-term stress in the form of financial problems, job loss, health issues, etc. Long - term stress increases the production of cortisol, a stress hormone. Like a domino effect, cortisol switches on a series of bad genes that can lead to heart disease, cancer and immunological disorders. Some of the bad habits that turn bad genes on include: Excessive alcohol consumption. Drug use. Not eating healthy or eating too much junk food can change your DNA. Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 3/37  Lack off daily aerobic exercise. Consuming too much much sugar. Not exercising our brains by reading or learning new skills. Negative emotions and negative thinking. Conversely, good habits can turn bad genes off and turn good genes on. The by product of good habits is reduced stress resulting from financial independence, happiness, good health, etc. Some of these good habits include: Daily reading or learning new skills, which can turn on genes that increase your IQ. Daily aerobic exercise, which can turn on genes that prevent heart disease, asthma and other immunological disorder. Meditation, which can turn off bad genes that contribute to the onset of various types of diseases and turn on good genes that prevent such disease. Positive thinking and positive emotions alter the brain's chemistry which increases or decreases gene expression. Habits are not harmless. They can alter your DNA by changing your genome. This is important but not just for 6.

B A tirade is a long, angry speech of criticism or accusation. Therefore, Option is the correct answer. 2. D Option D is the correct answer. The last sentence in the passage, 'Add to this the art of persuasion, and you have a winning combination.' implies that we need to be persuasive. The sentence 'While aggressive communication makes people withdraw from you' implies that we should not be assertive. Hence, Option B is incorrect. Options A and C could not be inferred from the passage. Note: The passage has certain grammatical errors and typos in the original CUET paper. 3. D Note: The question options have errors in the original CUET paper. The correct answer is Option D The passage mentions that nearly everyone in the restaurant stared at the guests, some in disbelief. This indicates that the guest's behaviour was noticeable and perceived as aggressive by others present. Therefore, Statement C is correct. Statement A. The passage does not explicitly state whether the guest was treating the waiter. It only describes the guest's behaviour and interaction with the waiter, focusing on the guest's demands and demeanour. Therefore, option A cannot be considered correct. Statement B. While it's true that the guest demanded good food, the passage also emphasizes that he demanded the highest order of respect from the waiter. The focus is not solely on the quality of the food but also on the guest's insistence on being treated with respect. Thus, statement B is not entirely accurate. Statement D. The passage describes the guest's behaviour as loud, angry, and demanding, which aligns with aggression. However, it also mentions that there's an important difference between being aggressive and being assertive. While the guest's behaviour may be perceived as aggressive, there's no indication that he was exhibiting assertiveness in a positive manner. Therefore, statement D, stating that the guest was both aggressive and assertive, is not entirely accurate. 4. A From the passage, we can infer that: Aggressive behaviour can cause people to withdraw, while assertiveness can inspire people to follow. Persuasiveness can be a winning element in communication, and politeness is often seen as a refined quality. Therefore, Aggressiveness matches with People withdraw from you Assertiveness matches with People follow you Persuasiveness matches with A winning element Politeness matches with Refined Hence, Option A is the correct answer. 5. C The 'winning combination' mentioned in the passage is inferred from the sentence: "While aggressive communication makes people withdraw from you and want to avoid you, assertiveness makes people want to follow you. Add to this the art of persuasion, and you have a winning combination." Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 31/37 So, based on the passage's statement, the winning combination includes being assertive and persuasive, making option c) Assertive and Persuasive the correct answer. 6. A Option A is the correct answer. Gene Expression (A) matches with A process of lifetime (III). This could be inferred from the sentence, 'Gene expression is a process in which certain genes are turned on or off during one's lifetime.' Cortisol (B) matches with Turns on a series of bad genes (II). This could be inferred from the sentence, 'Long-term stress increases the production of cortisol, a stress hormone. Like a domino effect, cortisol switches on a series of bad genes that can lead to heart disease, cancer and immunological disorders. Reduced stress matches with A by product of good habits (IV). This could be inferred from the sentence,' The by product of good habits is reduced stress resulting from financial independence, happiness, good health, etc.' DNA (D) matches with Changing of genome (I). This could be inferred from the sentence, 'Habits are not harmless. They can alter your DNA by changing your genome.' 7. D Statement A is true, as the passage mentions that bad habits can lead to immunological disorders. Statement B states: “The altered DNA gets passed on to our children.” While the passage does not directly state this, it discusses the concept of gene expression or epigenetics, which involves changes in gene activity that do not involve alterations to the genetic code but still get passed down to at least one successive generation. Statement C is partially true. The passage mentions that bad habits can be harmful, but it also states that good habits can have positive effects. So, saying “habits are harmful” is too broad and not entirely accurate according to the passage. Statement D is true. The passage mentions that habits can alter your DNA by changing your genome. Statement E, "The DNA can make your children better or worse", is true. While the passage does not directly state this, it does discuss how our habits can alter our DNA and potentially lead to various health issues. If we consider the broader context of genetics, it is known that parents pass on their genes to their offspring. Therefore, if our habits have altered our DNA for better (through good habits) or for worse (through bad habits), these changes could potentially influence the genetic makeup of our children. So, the statements A, B, D, and E are consistent with the information provided in the passage, making option D the correct answer. 8. D Note: The question should have been 'epigenetics' instead of 'epileptics' to find the correct answer Option A is the correct answer. We can infer this from the sentence, 'Did you know that your daily habits can turn genes on or off? It's known as gene expression or epigenetics.' 9. C The correct answer is option C. We can infer this from the sentence, 'Bad habits can create long-term stress in the form of financial problems, job loss, health issues, etc.' Note: The answer options had typographical errors in the original CUET question paper. 10. A Option A is the correct answer. Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 32/37 The passage mentioned that 'Bad habits can turn off good genes and turn on bad genes. Consuming too much sugar is an example of such a bad habit. Option B is incomplete and wrong. Options C and D are not inferred directly from the passage. 11. C Option C is the correct answer. In the given context of the passage, it is mentioned that people came from all places to seek the Wazir’s judgement. The Wazir was known for his wisdom and fair judgement, which is why he was sought after by people from various regions. This implies that he was a ‘wise judge’ (Statement E). The other characteristics such as being ‘very famous’ (Statement A), an ‘old judge’ (Statement B), an ‘old Wazir’ (Statement C), or a ‘very patient listener’ (Statement D) are not explicitly stated in the context. Therefore, these statements do not form the basis for people seeking his judgment. Hence, the correct answer is ‘E only’ (Option C). This is because people were drawn to him due to his reputation as a wise judge and not necessarily because of the other characteristics mentioned in the statements. 12. D The correct answer is option D. The story demonstrates the wisdom and intelligence of the judge, who used a clever method to determine the true owner of the horse. The other statements do not directly relate to the main point of the story. The beauty of the horse (Statement D) is mentioned, but it’s not what the story proves. The cleverness of the court (Statement A) or the horse (Statement C) is not demonstrated in the story. While the judge (Statement B) used a clever method, the emphasis of the story is more on his wisdom and intelligence (Statement E). Therefore, the answer is E only. 13. D The correct answer is Option D. The story suggests that the tall man was impressed by the Wazir’s wisdom in determining the horse's true owner. The other options (A, C, D, E) are not supported by the details of the story. The tall man was not consoled, embarrassed, undecided, or confused, according to the information provided. Therefore, the answer is Option D, which states B only. 14. B Option B is the correct answer. Arresting the Other Man (Statement A): The other man's arrest was a consequence of the Wazir’s discovery, not the method of discovery itself. Therefore, statement A is incorrect. From the Appearance and Good Manners of the Tall Man (Statement B): While the Wazir did note the tall man’s appearance and manners, he did not base his decision solely on these observations. He used them as initial impressions but sought further evidence to make his judgement. Therefore, statement B is incorrect. By Patiently Listening to the Case of Theft (Statement C): Although the Wazir patiently listened to the case, the listening itself did not reveal the true owner. The discovery was made by observing whom the horse followed. Therefore, statement C is incorrect. Knowing Whom the Horse Followed (Statement D): This is the key piece of evidence that led the Wazir to the real owner. The horse chose to follow the tall man, indicating a familiarity and bond that typically exists between a pet and its owner. Leaving the Horse Free (Statement E): The Wazir left the horse free, but this action alone didn’t reveal the true owner. It was a method of gathering more information. Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 33/37 While both actions (D and E) were part of Wazir’s process, the actual discovery of the real owner came from knowing whom the horse followed (Statement D). Therefore, the correct answer is Option b) D only. 15. A Option A is the correct answer. Although the passage doesn't explicitly describe the other man, it could be inferred from the story that the tall man was described as well-dressed and soft-spoken, implying that the other man had contrasting characteristics. The story does not provide information about the other man’s build or manners, so options b), c), and d) are less likely. 16. C The correct answer is option C. A. Retreat matches with II. Advance. These are antonyms; ‘retreat’ means to move back or withdraw, while ‘advance’ means to move forward. B. Vivacious matches with I. Languid. These are antonyms; ‘vivacious’ means lively and energetic, while ‘languid’ refers to displaying a disinclination for physical exertion or effort; slow and relaxed. C. Evidence matches with III. Confutation. ‘Evidence’ supports a claim or argument, while ‘confutation’ refers to the action of proving a statement or theory to be wrong or false. D. Exult matches with IV. Lament. These are antonyms; ‘exult’ means showing elation or jubilation, especially as the result of a success, while ‘lament’ is an expression of grief or sorrow. 17. B Option B is the correct answer. 1. Schism—Split: The term ‘Schism’ refers to a division or split, especially one into two groups, caused by a disagreement about ideas, particularly in a religious organization. This is why it matches ‘Split’ from List II. 2. Quixotic—Unrealistic: ‘Quixotic’ is an adjective that describes someone who is overly idealistic, unrealistic, or impractical. It’s often used to describe people who pursue noble ideals but in an infeasible or unrealistic way. Hence, it matches ‘Unrealistic’ from List II. 3. Relegate—Demote: ‘Relegate’ is a verb that means to assign an inferior rank or position to someone or something. It involves lowering someone or something in rank or position. Therefore, it matches with ‘Demote’ from List II. 4. Incognito—Secretly: ‘Incognito’ is an adjective that describes someone who avoids recognition, usually by changing their name or appearance. It’s often used when someone wants to remain anonymous or secret. Therefore, it matches ‘Secretly’ from List II. 18. B Option B is the correct answer. The original sentence is: "Holding the fatal telegram in her closed first, the distraught mother fell back on the couch." Option b) suggests: "The distraught mother fell on the couch." "Fell on" means to collapse or drop onto a surface, which accurately reflects what the mother did in the context of the sentence. The telegram caused her distress, leading her to collapse onto the couch. This option effectively conveys the same meaning as the original sentence without altering it significantly. Thus, option b) is the appropriate substitution. Note: There is typographical error in the question in the original CUET question paper Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 34/37 20. B Option B is the correct answer. The error in part 2 should be corrected. "Convinced with" is incorrect and should be "convinced of." Therefore, the correct sentence is "The principal was convinced of his innocence in the act." The answer is 2. 21. B Option B is the correct answer. A. Beneath the skin: The one-word substitution for this is “Subcutaneous.” The term “subcutaneous” refers to something located or occurring under the skin. B. Too old for work: The appropriate word here is “Superannuated”.The word “superannuated” is used to describe someone who is retired or no longer fit for work due to old age. C. Wise and full of deep knowledge: The single word that fits is “Sapient”.The term “sapient” refers to someone who is wise, knowledgeable, and possessing great wisdom. D. One who lives in a cave: The term for this is “Troglodyte”.It describes a person who dwells in a cave or a dark, secluded place. In a broader sense, it can also refer to someone who is reclusive or prefers solitude. 22. C Option C is the correct answer. A. She despised none of her lovers: This means that she didn’t dislike any of her lovers. B. She did not despise any of her lovers: This is another way of expressing the same idea as in A. C. She seldom or ever has sweet talks with her son: This sentence is a bit confusing. The word “ever” seems redundant here. It would make more sense without it: “She seldom has sweet talks with her son.” D. She seldom or never has sweet talks with her son: This sentence means that she rarely or almost never engages in sweet conversations with her son. E. He ran fast tremendously: This sentence is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would be: “He ran tremendously fast.” Therefore, The correct statements are A,B and D 23. B Option B is the correct answer. When transforming direct speech to indirect speech, you typically shift the verb tenses back one step in time, especially when reporting something that occurred in the past. In the original direct speech, "passed" is in the past tense. When converting it to indirect speech, we shift the tense of the verb "passed" to its past perfect form "had passed" to indicate that the crisis occurred before the time of the reporting. So, "ten years ago" becomes "ten years before" to maintain the same relative time frame. Therefore, the correct indirect speech version is: b) He said that the country had passed through a crisis ten years before. 24. B Option B is the correct answer. 1. Tut! - III. Slight disapproval: Tut is an exclamation used to express mild disapproval or annoyance. 2. Ahem! - I. Express doubts: “Ahem!” is often used to get someone’s attention or to subtly express doubt or hesitation before making a statement. 3. Preto! - IV. While performing a magic trick: This mysterious-sounding word could be uttered by a magician during a performance to add an element of intrigue. Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 35/37  4. Ahoy! - II. Cry of greeting: Sailors and seafarers traditionally use “Ahoy!” as a friendly greeting or to attract attention across distances. 25. B Option B is the correct answer. The most logical order of sentences to construct a coherent paragraph is: C. The revolutionary spirit of Netaji was never dampened ever after the surrender of Japan. This sentence sets the stage by highlighting Netaji’s unwavering commitment to India’s cause, even in challenging circumstances. B. “Japan” surrender is not India’s surrender," he said. This statement reinforces Netaji’s perspective that India’s fight for independence was distinct from Japan’s surrender. It connects to the introduction by emphasizing the need to separate the two events. D. He knew that a war of liberation demanded great spirit, sacrifice, courage, and patience. This sentence builds on the previous one by explaining Netaji’s understanding of the essential qualities required for a successful struggle for freedom. It connects to the introduction by reinforcing Netaji’s unwavering determination. A. It was with this invincible spirit that Netaji opposed Wavell’s offer. This final sentence ties everything together by illustrating how Netaji’s refusal to accept Lord Wavell’s proposal exemplified his unyielding commitment to India’s cause. Therefore, the correct order is C, B, D, A. 26. A Option A is the correct answer. Sentence C introduces the context that India has been involved in multiple wars. Sentence A highlights India’s strategic significance.Sentence D specifies the second country involved in multiple wars, and sentence B explains that despite the wars, India did not achieve clear political objectives. Therefore, the correct sequence is A, C, D, B 27. A Option A is the correct answer. Option A arranges the sentence parts as follows: 1. Those that have seen the Hindus 2. P. have naturally no more doubt 3. S. of their existence than own country 4. Q. of the existence of other person 5. R. among them in their own country 6. whom they have met When we put these together, the sentence reads: “Those that have seen the Hindus have naturally no more doubt of their existence than own country of the existence of other person among them in their own country whom they have met.” This sentence means that people who have seen Hindus in their own country have as much certainty of their existence as they do of the existence of any other person they have met in their own country. This makes logical sense and is grammatically correct, which is why option A is the correct answer. The other options do not form a coherent sentence when arranged in the given order. 28. A The correct answer is Option A. “Cottoned on to”: This informal expression means to realize or become aware of something. It implies that someone has understood a situation, fact, or idea. In the context provided, Mahendra has grasped the fact that the speaker is not interested in his ideas. Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 36/37 29. C Option C is the correct option. The original sentence contains an error in the subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be “intend” (plural) instead of “intends” (singular) because the subject “candidates” is plural. Additionally, the pronoun “I” should be replaced with the objective form “me” in this context. So the revised sentence would be: “All of the candidates except Manindra and me intend to choose cricket as a hobby. 30. A Option A is the correct answer. A: The central part of a wheel → II: Hub B: Without a body → I: Incorporeal C: A great work of art → IV: Magnum opus D: A lie told on purpose → III: Perjury Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 37/37
