Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster.
FRENCH : GQFMDG :: GERMAN : HDSLBM :: ARABIC : ?

Option 1: BQBAHD

Option 2: BQBAJB

Option 3: BQBCJB

Option 4: BQZAJB

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: BQBAJB


Solution : Given:
FRENCH : GQFMDG :: GERMAN : HDSLBM :: ARABIC : ?

Add and subtract 1 alternatively from the place value of each letter of FRENCH and GERMAN to get the required codes –
FRENCH→F + 1 = G; R – 1 = Q; E + 1 = F; N – 1 = M; C + 1 = D; H – 1 = G
Thus, FRENCH is related to GQFMDG.
GERMAN→G + 1 = H; E – 1 = D; R + 1 = S; M – 1 = L; A + 1 = B; N – 1 = M
Thus, GERMAN is related to HDSLBM.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ARABIC –
A + 1 = B; R – 1 = Q; A + 1 = B; B – 1 = A; I + 1 = J; C – 1 = B

Thus, ARABIC is related to BQBAJB. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the question of where and when the Black Death, the deadliest pandemic ever, originated is one of the biggest mysteries in human history. After all, the Black Death was the first wave of the second plague pandemic of the 14th to early 19th centuries. It killed some 50-60% of the population in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and an unaccountable number of people in Central Asia. Different proposals, based on competing theories, have been put forward. But in 2017, I came across some records describing an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, which I suspected may hold the key. As part of a multidisciplinary team co-led by Maria Spyrou at the University of Tubingen, we have now investigated several specimens from individuals buried at that site – and come up with an answer. The idea that the Black Death originated in the east – territories overlapping, roughly speaking, Central Asia, Mongolia and China – dates back to the contemporaries of the pandemic in Europe and the Islamic world. The modern, academic Chinese origin theory dates back to at least 1756-8 and a publication about the history of Central Asia by French scholar Joseph de Guignes.
What is the tone of the speaker?

Option 1: Humorous

Option 2: Explanatory

Option 3: Pessimistic

Option 4: Informal

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Explanatory


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The speaker is providing information and explanations about the origin of the Black Death, discussing different theories and their historical context. The passage is focused on presenting facts and research findings rather than using humour, expressing pessimism, or adopting an informal style.

Therefore, the tone of the speaker is explanatory.

  • The paragraph starts with sentence R, which states that on May 10, 1940, the attack by Germans began with the capture by parachutists of key bridges that were deep in the country so that they could open a way for mobile ground forces.
  • It is followed by sentence P, which tells the reaction of the Dutch defenders who fell back westwards, and by noon on May 12, German tanks were on the outskirts of Rotterdam.
  • It is followed by sentence Q, which gives further information that the then-queen Wilhelmina and her government left the country on May 13, followed by the surrender of the Dutch army on May 13.
  • The concluding statement of the paragraph is sentence S, which provides additional information on the invasion of Belgium, which also began on May 10.
