Direction : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.:

Visualisation is the three-dimensional, multicoloured, singing-and-dancing version of affirmations that enables the subconscious to prefigure future achievement or success. It is a basic and fundamental human attribute, and one that can literally be the difference between surviving and not surviving.

When Victor Frankl, the Freudian psychologist, was examining the discriminating factors that enabled him, and many like him, to survive in the hell of the Nazi concentration camps, the key factor was the ability to visualize. All survivors had a vision of something beyond their current suffering, something more worthwhile, and something worth hanging on for.

This underlines the importance of each individual having a vision of something, outside and larger than herself, that gives her life some meaning. The very existence of a mission lifts the eyes to something more meaningful and enduring - and in so doing provides something to live for - at times when quiet surrender could be an attractive option. Such a vision gives a further raison d'etre for integrity, by providing a purpose that binds together the core values that make up self-worth.

One of the most powerful - and difficult to achieve -applications of visualization is to focus your mind daily on the person you intend to become. Create a clear mental picture of that person - and see it in full colour, and add sounds and smells, if they are appropriate. The emotional values you add to the visualization are vital in making the full connection to your subconscious, which acts only on thoughts that are mixed with emotions. These techniques are, of course, widely validated in fields like sport and business, where the peak performers are nearly all visualisers. They all see, fell, and fully experience their success before they achieve it.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions which follow. Although broad generalization always over-simplifies complex realities, we find numerous truths in the contrast between hierarchical, industrial manufacturing firms that dominated most of the twentieth century and today's service-based and knowledge-sensitive organisations. When industry meant repeatedly carrying out standard, well defined tasks and workers were seen metaphorically (and sometimes literally) as part of a machine, progress could still be made when the social networks and relationships of individual employees were ignored or discouraged. In fact, those firms strongly depended on social capital and sometimes suffered from lack of it. Without some level of trust, respect, and generalised reciprocity, coordinated work of any kind is hard to accomplish. Still, as Henry Ford has commented, a certain rough logic lies behind treating people like cogs in a machine when you only expect and want them to do machine-like work.

But very little of the work of today's knowledge firm is repetitive or mechanical. It requires responsiveness, inventiveness, collaboration and attention. Judgement, persuasiveness, shared decisions, the pooling of knowledge, and the creative spark people strike off one another depend on engagement with the work and one another, on the commitment that makes one genuinely a member of an organisation rather than simply an "employee". Although we ourselves sometimes fall into the trap of talking about "employers" and "employees" - the users and the used - those terms really belong to the industrial age modal and are inappropriate to the kind of work and working relationships we consider here. Today's most economically productive work is largely voluntary, in the sense that doing it well calls for a willing engagement of the whole self in the task. "Going through the motions" is insufficient when the motions are not prescribed but change as you go along. In our view, the firm is neither a machine with each cog firmly in place performing its clearly defined task nor an unorganized (or self-organising) flock of opportunistic entrepreneurs pursuing their individual destinies. It is - it should be - a social organisation of people willingly engaged in a joint enterprise.

Q. Based on your reading of the above passage, identify the INCORRECT option.

According to the passage, knowledge firms have stopped treating people as employees. Instead, they treat people as a member of an organisation i.e. from the passage "Judgement, persuasiveness, shared decisions, the pooling of knowledge, and the creative sparks people strike off one another depend on engagement with the work and one another, on the commitment that makes one genuinely a member of an organisation rather than simply an "employee"".

Q. In the light of your reading of the passage above, identify the option that contains the set of words CLOSEST in meaning to the set of words in CAPITAL letters

METAPHORICALLY : STANDARD : COG : ENGAGEMENT
Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 3 - Question 8
If we look at the question and the corresponding word in each of the options, metaphorically is a synonym of Symbolically, Allegorically or Figuratively.

While we evaluate the other words, we should remember that we need to find the correct answer based on the meanings of the words metaphorically : standard : cog : engagement as used in the passage and not their direct synonyms. Option c might appear the correct answer if you go by direct synonyms of the word but if we check the usage of the word in the passage, it says "standard, well-defined tasks" which refers to routine tasks. The passage speaks about "treating people like cogs in a machine" or treating them as a small component. The passage speaks about "engagement with the work" - this more likely refers to commitment to the work. Hence, appointment as a replacement for engagement in this context is incorrect. Hence, option 'a' is the correct answer.
