SNAP Mock Test - 2 (New Pattern) - CAT MCQ

- "Impasse" refers to a situation where progress or movement forward is impossible, like hitting a dead end. It's like being stuck with no way out, often due to disagreements or obstacles.
- So, when you're faced with an impasse, it means you've reached a deadlock, where no solution or compromise seems feasible.
- Therefore, option C, "Deadlock," is the most similar in meaning to "Impasse."

In this sentence, the phrase "have to ___ a new plan" suggests that a new plan needs to be made if the current one fails. Among the options provided, "create" is the most suitable word as it implies the act of generating or forming something new, which aligns well with the idea of devising a plan.
The other options like "cause," "enact," and "bring" don't convey the idea of generating a new plan in the context provided. So, option C, "create," is the correct choice.

In the sentence, "perfect" is used as a verb. Verbs are action words that describe what someone or something is doing. Here, "perfect" indicates the action of completing or making something flawless, which aligns with the definition of a verb.

It's showing what the speaker must do to the operation to achieve a particular outcome, which is making the perfect robot. So, option A, "Verb," is the correct choice.

The phrase "make hay while the sun shines" comes from the practice of making hay, a process that requires dry weather and sunlight. So, when we say "make hay while the sun shines," we mean taking advantage of a favorable situation or opportunity. Just like how farmers gather their hay when the weather is good, we should act when conditions are right for success. It's about seizing the moment and making the most out of favorable circumstances. Therefore, the correct answer is C: "Take advantage of an opportunity."

This question asks you to identify the word that doesn't fit with the others in terms of meaning.

A, B, and C all relate to memory loss or forgetfulness. "Oblivion," "amnesia," and "forgetfulness" all describe situations where someone can't remember something or has lost their memory.

However, "nostalgia" (option D) stands out because it's different. Instead of describing forgetfulness or memory loss, it refers to a feeling of longing or affection for the past. It's not about forgetting; it's about remembering and feeling sentimental about past experiences or times. So, "nostalgia" is the odd one out among the given options.

Other options don't fit in the context at all.

Option 1, to drag up is to mention unpleasant things from the past.

Option 2, to draw up is to prepare something very carefully in writing.

Option 4, when you drop off, you fall into a light sleep.

'Stand in for' means 'to act as a substitute for'. 'Stand out' means 'to be better when compared'. 'Stand up to' means 'to challenge or confront'. So, all other options do not fit the context.

-In the sentence, the figure of speech used is an oxymoron.
- An oxymoron is a literary device that combines two contradictory or opposing terms to create a new meaning or emphasize a point. In this case, "creative destruction" combines the seemingly conflicting ideas of creation and destruction.
- While "creative" suggests the act of producing or building something, "destruction" implies tearing down or ruining.
- By combining these two words, the speaker highlights the transformative nature of technology, where new innovations often involve dismantling or replacing existing structures or systems.
- Therefore, the sentence employs an oxymoron to convey the complex and dynamic nature of technological progress.

In the given sentence, the underlined word is "kindly." The task is to identify its part of speech.

"Kindly" is an adverb in this sentence. Adverbs often modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this case, "kindly" modifies the verb "behaves." It describes how the person behaves, indicating that they behave in a kind manner.

So, in simple terms, the adverb "kindly" tells us how the action of behaving is performed—it's done in a kind way. Therefore, option C, "Adverb," is the correct choice.

In this sentence, the word "concede" means to admit or agree to something, especially in the context of an argument. So, when it says "The employee did not ______ to the argument of the manager," it means the employee didn't agree with or accept the manager's argument.

"Precede" means to come before something in time or order, which doesn't fit the context of an argument.

"Exceed" means to go beyond a certain limit or amount, which is unrelated to the idea of agreeing with an argument.

"Recede" means to move back or withdraw, which also doesn't make sense in this context.

Therefore, "concede" (option C) is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank as it fits the meaning of the sentence, indicating the lack of agreement with the manager's argument.

- The phrase "play to the galleries" originates from theaters where actors would perform to entertain the audience in the higher, cheaper seats, known as the galleries.
- In modern language, it means to appeal to the general public or lower taste by acting in an exaggerated manner.
- So, in the given context, it suggests that to be a good orator, you don't need to resort to exaggerated or populist tactics to win over the audience.
- Instead, you should focus on delivering your message effectively without trying to please everyone or catering to the lowest common denominator.
- Therefore, option C, "to appeal to the public with lower taste," best describes the meaning of the idiom in this sentence.

18 x 1 + 1.5 = 19.5

19.5 x 2 + 2.5 = 41.5

41.5 x 3 + 3.5 = 128

128 x 4 + 4.5 = 516.5

516.5 x 5 + 5.5 = 2588

2588 x 6 + 6.5 = 15534.5

Therefore, 513.5 is the wrong term in the series.

W - 2 = U, U - 2 = S, S - 2 = Q, Q - 2 = O

122 = 144, 11² = 121, 10² = 100, 9² = 81, 8² = 64

Missing term is U - 121.

The given expression is ((36 × 4) - 8 × 4) - (4 + 8 × 2 + 16/1).

Now, using the appropriate mathematical operations, we get

= ((36 - 4)/8 - 4)/(4 × 8 - 2 × 16 + 1)
= (32/8 - 4) / (32-32+1)
= (4-4)/1
= 0

Durai's father's wife is Duari's mother.

Daughter of Durai's father's wife is Durai's sister.

Durai's sister's brother is Durai's brother.

From the above figure, it is clear that the man playing football is Durai's brother.

So, U is the grandfather of Z.

We can see that,

B and E are siblings.

A is the daughter of B and wife of C.

So, we can say that A is the niece of E.

Rule: In Step 1, two words are picked and arranged in alphabetical order and placed at the left corner and in Step 2, two numbers are picked and arranged in descending order, next to the words arranged in alphabetical order and so on.

F is third to the left of B. D is not a neighbour of G.

D is sitting to the right of C.

Similarly,

However, years like 1700, 1800, 1900, which are divisible by '4' but not by '400', are not leap years.

So, the longest gap that any person will have to wait between his two birthdays would be 8 years.

The given statement mentions that Justin Trudeau attended the India Day Parade in Montreal, Quebec wearing a traditional kurta-pyjama.

Assumption I: There is a sizeable affluent Indian-origin population in Quebec.
This assumption is implicit because for the India Day Parade to be organized in Montreal, Quebec, there must be a significant Indian-origin population in the area to participate in and support such an event.

Assumption II: The Canadians of Indian origin have all voted for the ruling party.
This assumption is not implicit. The statement does not provide any information about the political preferences or voting behavior of Canadians of Indian origin. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that they have all voted for the ruling party.

Based on the above analysis, only assumption I is implicit.
Therefore, the answer is 1 if only assumption I is implicit.

II is not a suitable course of action, as any mention of swiftness or suddenness of action is missing. The correct course of action would have been guerrilla training or quick combat skills or equipping with quick response armoury.

20 × 2 - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36

36 × 2 - 4 = 72 - 4 = 68

68 × 2 - 4 = 136 - 4 = 132

132 × 2 - 4 = 264 - 4 = 260

The missing number is not bigger than 260 as per the options.

Let missing number = 'M'

M × 2 - 4 = 20

M × 2 = 24

M = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
