Odd Man Out Tips and Tricks for Government Exams

Method of solving this Question from Sentence Elimination:
Sentences C and B go together, as do A and D.
C refers to the fact that Greek was the language of the governing elite, hinting that the language of the governed was something else. B says “Greek rulers could neither speak the language of the people" elaborating on the same theme.
A and D both talk of the Rosetta Stone.
There is a link between B and A as well. B talks of fueling resentment while A elaborates on this by stating “Egypt was in open revolt"
Greece and Greek rulers is the common link between the sentences C, B and A which make sense when placed in sequence.
The question is " Choose the Sentence that does not fit in "
Hence, the answer is Sentence D.

Method of solving this Question from Sentence Elimination:
The topic here is the unconscious mind. We can see straight away that sentence B is a promising first sentence. Let’s try to see if it can link this with 2 others. So we start off admitting that the unconscious mind makes us brilliant, and look for steps to benefit from it.
Option A has starts off with “you will know it has". It cannot be placed before or after B.
Option C refers to a step taken to interest the unconscious mind- working on it with the conscious mind. But it has an “instead" in it. So something precedes C.
Between A and D, D makes better sense before C, the flow being “The unconscious mind cannot be ordered about….instead…"
So we have the sentence order BDC forming a paragraph.
The question is " Choose the Sentence that does not fit in "
Hence, the answer is Sentence A.

Method of solving this Question from Sentence Elimination:
To find out which sentence needs to be eliminated, we have to frame a paragraph with the other three and see if it is cogent. We can look out for keywords or thoughts that link all sentences together with one main idea.
Sentence A talks of developing “these different ways of thinking" by “extended, focused mental effort".
Sentence B talks of the “relatively brief period" students spend in a classroom, and “long term memory structures" required for subject mastery.
Sentence C talks of how a traditional science instructor teaches assuming “expert-like ways of thinking" are already present.
We can see right away that C and A go together, with the “way of thinking" being the key idea repeated in both sentences.
Sentence D talks of how the “necessary extended effort" can be made by students with some help from teachers.
Sentence A also talked of the “extended mental effort" students need to put in to develop expert-like thinking. So D ties in with A. The paragraph makes sense when arranged in the sequence CAD
Looking at B, we can reconfirm that it is indeed the sentence to be eliminated as it talks of “memory structure". This idea is not explained by any of the other sentences.
The question is " Choose the Sentence that does not fit in "
Hence, the answer is Sentence B.
