TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 1

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

Our thinking about the dimensions of emotional intelligence (El) and their accompanying competencies has evolved and streamlined as new data has been analysed. Readers familiar with earlier versions of emotional intelligence model will notice some changes here. Where we formerly listed five domains of El, we now have simplified the model into four domains: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management with eighteen competencies instead of the original twenty five. For instance, an El domain would be social awareness; a competency in that domain would be empathy or service. The result is an El model that more clearly links specific clusters of competencies to the underlying brain dynamics that drive them. Recent findings about emotions and the brain make clearer the neurological basis of these competencies. This lets us sketch their dynamics more thoroughly, while providing practical guidelines for building leadership skills. These El competencies are not innate talents but learned abilities, each of which has a unique contribution to making leaders more resonant, and therefore more effective. Guided by the neurology underlying El framework, we can make a sharp distinction between what works and what does not when it comes to learning the art of leadership.
The basic argument in a nut shell is that primal leadership operates better through emotionally intelligent leaders who create resonance. Underlying that proposition is the theory of performance, one that surfaces the link between the neurology of the four fundamentals of emotional intelligence and the El competencies that build on these fundamentals. These El competencies are in turn the building blocks of the modes of leadership that foster resonance in the group. Interestingly, no leader we have ever encountered, no matter how outstanding, has strengths across board in every one of the many El competencies. Highly effective leaders typically exhibit a critical mass of strength in half a dozen or so El competencies. Moreover there is no fixed formula for great leadership: There are many paths to excellence and super leaders can possess very different personal styles. Still, we find that effective leaders typically demonstrate strengths in at least one competence from each of the four fundamental areas of emotional intelligence.
(Adapted from The New Leaders by Daniel Goleman. Little Brown, p 37-38)

Q. 'These El competencies are in turn the building blocks of the modes of leadership that foster resonance in the group'. Which of the following reflect(s) the spirit of the statement as per the passage?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 5

Resonance occurs when induced frequency of one object matches with that of other/neighbouring objects causing enhanced oscillation or reverberation. This may be interpreted as transformation or disruption of group members (subjects) in the context of a resonance produced by an effective leader.
Thus, the subjects are bound to follow such leader.
Since there is resonance, there is no question of any dissonance.
The leader shall transform his followers by influencing their aspirations in a way that the latter share the former's aspirations.
Option D is correct.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 6

Directions: Fill in the blank with the correct option.

He is simply biding his _______ until the prices go down.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 6

The keyword is 'biding'. 'Biding his time' is an idiomatic phrase which means 'to wait patiently for a good opportunity to do something'. So the context is about waiting for the prices to go down. Option A is correct.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 7

Directions: The given sentence has a blank space and four words or group of words given after the sentence. Select the word or group of words you consider most appropriate for the blank space.

The country owes a deep debt of _____ to the freedom fighters.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 7

Freedom fighters made it possible for the country to be free. So, there is an emotion attached to it, thanking them for what they did which is suggested by 'gratitude'. Hence, 4 is the correct answer.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 8

Directions: The following sentence in this section has a blank space and four words or groups of words given after the sentence. Select the words or group of words you consider most appropriate for the blank space and mark the correct option.

Ten years __________ for me to live in a foreign country.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 8

A period of time is taken as a singular entity. So, it will take a singular verb.
'Ten years has a long time' does not make sense.
(4) makes for an incomplete sentence.
So, the correct answer is (B).

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 9

Directions: In the following question, a statement is followed by two conclusions. These conclusions are numbered I and II. Select the conclusion(s) that can validly be drawn from the statement.

Statement: The Central government has introduced a 'Free Meals Scheme' in all schools in rural areas.
Conclusions:
I. Less-fed children in rural areas shall go to school.
II. Parents are assured that their children are being fed along with becoming educated.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 9

This in no way means that less fed children shall go to school. The purpose of scheme is not to feed children, but to motivate parents/children of poor families, who cannot afford education, to send their wards to school.
II can be concluded. The step is a motivator which is clear from the question statement.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 10

Directions: Select the correct words or phrases to complete a grammatical and idiomatic sentence.

It is not time for the cinema to begin ______, ______?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 10

The main sentence is in negation (not), so adverb 'yet' (by now) is correct and the question tag has to be positive.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 11

Directions: In the following question, a statement is followed by two conclusions. These conclusions are numbered I and II. Select the conclusion(s) that can validly be drawn from the statement.

Statement: The Southwest monsoon has not spread as swiftly as was assumed at the outset. In fact, some parts of North India are feared to face a drought-like situation.
Conclusions:
I. If the monsoon progresses at an accelerated pace, North India may be spared a grim situation.
II. A drought in North India may cause scarcity of food in India.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 11

Only I can be concluded. The statement talks about the swiftness of monsoon and states that a slow monsoon may cause a fear of drought in North India. This means if the reverse happens, North India has a possibility of not having to face drought like situation.
II cannot be concluded. There is no information regarding North India in relation to the rest of India.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 12

Directions: In this question, a sentence is given with a part of it underlined. From the options (1), (2), (3) and (4), select the one that is opposite in meaning to the underlined part.

'Commensurate with' means 'appropriate or adequate'. Hence, option A is the answer.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 13

Directions: Choose an option, which can be substituted for a given phrase out of the given options.

To mediate between two parties in a dispute

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 13

'Intercede' means to intervene between parties with a view to reconciling differences. The context of the word is positive. 'Interrupt' and 'interfere', on the other hand, are negative context words and do not highlight 'mediation' of a dispute. 'Interact' simply means to communicate. Thus, only option 4 represents the given phrase.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 14

Directions: The sentence below has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Beneath the sentence are some sets of words. Choose the set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

As the young generation finds itself _____ in the cobweb of mechanical lifestyles, the strings of a very special bond seem to _____.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 14

Correct; one gets trapped in the cobwebs, and the mechanical life weakens the bonds.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 15

Directions: In the following question, four statements have been provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.

A. When a follower copies a leader, it is not covering at all, it's better described as a me-too response.
B. What works for a leader doesn't necessarily work for a follower.
C. But followers are not in the same position to benefit from a covering strategy.
D. Leaders can often cover a competitive move and retain their leadership.

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 15

DC form a pair. D states that the leaders can 'cover' a competitive move to retain their leadership. C states that the 'followers' are not in the 'same position'. Here, 'same position' refers to the use of covering by the leaders (as stated in D). Thus, followers are not in the 'same position' to use covering to benefit themselves. B follows C as it explains 'why' followers cannot benefit from the covering strategy in a similar manner to the leaders. The DCB arrangement is only found in option 2. Thus, DCBA is the correct sequence.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 16

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

Worry has become the most dreaded part of human existence. In this age of hurry, competition and divided aims it has become synonymous with a disease personified. Medical researches have proved that worry is the single major cause of heart diseases, high blood pressure, rheumatism, ulcers, skin problems, bronchitis, asthma etc and other psychosomatic diseases. "Businessmen," writes Dr. Alexis Carrel, a Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine said, "who do not know how to fight worry die young". To corroborate Dr. Carrel, it can be said that lawyers, banking officials, clerks etc who do not control this die too, of course, in their youth.
What lies behind this state of mind is not difficult to guess. The fast-paced life style, competitive living, frustration or failure in things contribute largely to our anxieties. Shortages, fears imaginary or non-imaginary, dissatisfaction, verbal squabbles, all these add to the burden on the mind. The result is easily guessed; worry is contracted. Plato, the Greek philosopher had foreseen the need to control worry as far back as 400 BC. He had said, "The greatest mistake physicians make is that they attempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind. Mind and body are one and should not be treated separately."
This is the basis that laid the foundation stone of the modern methods of fighting psychosomatic diseases. The maxim 'A healthy body depends on a healthy mind' is the latest version than 'A healthy mind in a healthy body' that has gained ground in today's medical sciences.
Man is an emotional being. Emotions like futility, anxiety, frustration, depression, defeat, fear, worry are there which have come out of the modern life style to trap him. Worry is the single factor which creates tension and there starts the nightmare of diseases. The need of the hour is to avoid as much as possible this fountainhead of all diseases.

Q. Which of the following can be accurately inferred from the passage?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 16

The context mentions "Emotions like ... have come out of the modern life style to trap him."
Also, it has been mentioned that " ... there starts the nightmare of diseases."
Thus, it can be inferred that the reality and thoughts influence each other.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Q. Which of the following statements is NOT correct as per the passage?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 17

The context mentions "What lies behind this state ... to our anxieties." So, A is correct.
Also, it is mentioned "Worry is the single factor which creates tension and there starts the nightmare of diseases" which means that worry is a factor responsible for causing disease and not a disease in itself. So, B is correct.
The statement "In this age of hurry, competition and divided aims it has become synonymous with a disease personified" makes C correct.
Hence, option D is the answer, as it does not get support from the passage.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 23

Arrange the given sentences into a logical order.
A. But there are signs that manufacturers are dragging their feet.
B. But incorporating today’s emerging technologies may prove to be the sector’s toughest transition to date.
C. These technologies offer opportunities to become more agile, more efficient and to create more value for customers.
D. In a survey of manufacturers, it found that two-thirds have only just started—or not yet embarked upon—digital transformation.
E. Manufacturing has a long history of transformation driven by wave after wave of technology innovation.
Which of the following is the correct order?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 23

On careful reading of the sentences, it is clear that the passage is talking about the effect of innovation on manufacturing. E is an independent statement and introduces the idea. Hence It should be the opening statement. BC is a logical pair since only B contains the reference of "these emerging technologies" mentioned in C. Similarly, AD is a logical pair as statement D provides evidence for the argument A. Now statement A should follow C because A introduces a new argument and "but" connects A with C. Hence EBCAD.

The paragraph is - ‘Beans are extracted from the pod and fermented, dried, and roasted into cocoa beans. The shells of the bean are then separated from the cocoa nibs. The nibs are ground into a liquid called chocolate liquor, and separated from cocoa butter. The liquor is further refined to produce the cocoa solids and chocolate that we eat.’

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 25

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Sociologists study how people get along together in groups. They study culture, social groups and how they affect individuals. The sociology of depression looks at the cultural context in which people live. It also looks at the social stresses that people encounter as a part of life. The sociological aspects of depression are both influenced by and also influence the other biological and psychological aspects of people's lives.

Culture and the ethnic group that people come from are important aspects of health and illness. A new branch of medicine, known as ethnomedicine, focuses on the role of culture, perception, and context in shaping someone's physical and mental health.

Previously, it was thought that depression primarily affected people in developed Western nations and that other cultures did not suffer from this condition. Ethnomedical studies suggest that this idea may have more to do cultural perceptions of what symptoms become labeled as a depressive disorder. It also has to do with how occurrences of depression are recorded for statistical purposes and how depression is thought of within particular cultures.

Ethnomedical research suggests that cultural differences in focusing on oneself and one's place within the social group are linked to the amount of depression that occurs. Some of this difference comes from the individualistic vs. collectivistic orientation of a particular culture. In Western cultures, individuals are ideally viewed as independent, separate people striving for individual achievement and success. In contrast, other cultures view the family or society as being of more importance than the individual. Many times, personal happiness is sacrificed for the good of the larger group in such cultures. Very little thought is given to particular individuals within such cultures. For example, in traditional Asian cultures it is common for one member of the family to work hard and share a paycheck with the entire extended family. Some authors suggest that because people from collectivistic cultures are not encouraged to place much importance on personal gratification, they do not spend time feeling frustrated about their failure to achieve personal success. As a result, the lack of focus on the self can lead to a decrease or absence of the development of depressive disorders.

Whereas social integration involves relationships characterized by closeness, support, and friendship, social stratification involves interactions featuring differences in power, status, and resources. A considerable body of research indicates that people who are more powerful, of higher status, and wealthier have mental health problems as compared with those who possess fewer resources. In addition, relationships that are relatively egalitarian promote more overall positive mental health than those that feature sharp distinctions in the amount of power and control that each member has.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 26

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Sociologists study how people get along together in groups. They study culture, social groups and how they affect individuals. The sociology of depression looks at the cultural context in which people live. It also looks at the social stresses that people encounter as a part of life. The sociological aspects of depression are both influenced by and also influence the other biological and psychological aspects of people's lives.

Culture and the ethnic group that people come from are important aspects of health and illness. A new branch of medicine, known as ethnomedicine, focuses on the role of culture, perception, and context in shaping someone's physical and mental health.

Previously, it was thought that depression primarily affected people in developed Western nations and that other cultures did not suffer from this condition. Ethnomedical studies suggest that this idea may have more to do cultural perceptions of what symptoms become labeled as a depressive disorder. It also has to do with how occurrences of depression are recorded for statistical purposes and how depression is thought of within particular cultures.

Ethnomedical research suggests that cultural differences in focusing on oneself and one's place within the social group are linked to the amount of depression that occurs. Some of this difference comes from the individualistic vs. collectivistic orientation of a particular culture. In Western cultures, individuals are ideally viewed as independent, separate people striving for individual achievement and success. In contrast, other cultures view the family or society as being of more importance than the individual. Many times, personal happiness is sacrificed for the good of the larger group in such cultures. Very little thought is given to particular individuals within such cultures. For example, in traditional Asian cultures it is common for one member of the family to work hard and share a paycheck with the entire extended family. Some authors suggest that because people from collectivistic cultures are not encouraged to place much importance on personal gratification, they do not spend time feeling frustrated about their failure to achieve personal success. As a result, the lack of focus on the self can lead to a decrease or absence of the development of depressive disorders.

Q. In contrast to western cultures, what do collectivist cultures do?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 26

According to the passage,
In Western cultures, individuals are ideally viewed as independent, separate people striving for individual achievement and success. In contrast, other cultures view the family or society as being of more importance than the individual.

Hence, option D.

TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 27

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

The phenomena of monsoon refer to the seasonal reversal of winds. It is because while the South West Monsoon winds blow from sea to land at the end of the summer season, the North east winds blow from land to sea during the winter season.

During the summer season the Indian mainland gets intensely heated up creating low pressure. High pressure area is created over the Indian Ocean due to the differential heating of the land and the sea. Because the winds blow from high pressure to low pressure areas, the South West Monsoon winds blow from the Sea towards the Indian mainland. When moisture laden winds strike the Western Ghats and the mountains of north eastern parts of the country, they shed their moisture causing rainfall on the places lying on the windward side of the mountains. The Monsoon is also aided by the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone or Monsoon trough near the Equator where winds from northern and southern hemisphere merge. During winters, the Indian mainland begins to cool down creating high pressure areas. Thus the north eastern winds blow from land and hence do not cause enough rainfall. They cause rainfall over the Coromandel Coast during winters.

Cloud droplets are tiny, only 1/100 mm in diameter, and are thus very light and practically float freely in the air. As the droplets collide, with time some grow larger than others and start to slowly fall, falling faster as they accumulate more and more droplets. If the cloud of droplets is dense enough to form droplets greater than 1/10 mm in diameter through this process, the droplets survive the fall through the air below the cloud, despite evaporation, and reach the ground as rain. This process develops what is known as ‘warm rain’, but in our part of the world it is responsible for only the weakest drizzle from near surface clouds. In the warm tropics it is responsible for intense rainfall from clouds lower than 5 km.

Q. What type of monsoon does India experience?

Detailed Solution for TISS-NET Mock Test - 10 (New Pattern) - Question 27

According to the passage,
India receives two types of monsoons, the one being south-west monsoon which is the major monsoon and the other being the north-east monsoon that is received mostly in the time of winters.
