SUB TEST – I :

Verbal Skills

Instructions :
Each question, 1 through 40, is followed by 5 answers – A through E. Indicate your correct answer by shading the appropriate choice viz., A, B, C, D or E, provided against each question number in the Response Sheet.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS :
Questions 1 to 12 are based on the following passages.
Both of the following passages concern World War II, 1939–1945. The first passage is excerpted from an article on the events leading up to World War II. The second passage is a comment by Anne Frank. She was the teenager whose diary of her experiences hidden in a secret annex during World War II became famous after her death.

Passage 1 :
World War I (1914–1918) ended for Germany in total defeat. The German people were dissatisfied: the peace treaty was a great humiliation, there was no money, no work and no hope of a better future. In the chaotic 1920s, an unknown Austrian worked his way up to the position of “Fuhrer” (leader) of an insignificant political party in Munich.

His name was Adolf Hitler; the party called itself the NSDAP and its followers were called “Nazis.” After an unsuccessful coup d’etat, Hitler was put in a comfortable prison, where he wrote his plans for world domination in a book called Mein Kampf (My Struggle).

Hitler said that the German people were “Aryans,” the strongest and best race. All other races were inferior, especially the Jews, whom he blamed for everything that was wrong and for all Germany’s defeats. Hitler’s ideas appealed to many Germans and the NSDAP soon became powerful. In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany and, within a year, consolidated all power within his grasp.

Passage 2 :
I don’t believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone, are guilty of the war. Oh no, the little man is just as guilty, otherwise the peoples of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!

There’s in people simply an urge to destroy, an urge to kill, to murder and rage, until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated, and grown will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

(D) hint that not all Germans felt the same way about the debacle
(E) suggest the Germans deserved their defeat in both World War I and World War II

2. Why does the writer place the word Fuhrer (line 3) in quotation marks?
(A) to draw attention to it
(B) to show it is a foreign word
(C) to comment ironically that Hitler was no leader
(D) to make sure that people pronounce it correctly
(E) because it is deliberately misspelled for emphasis
