RBI Assistant Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Banking Exams MCQ

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

Besides being a Ranger, Tom Burgess had recently joined a canoe club, and, like all young members of such associations, was most enthusiastic over the new sport thus opened to him. His club was to camp on an uninhabited island near the eastern end of Long Island Sound for two weeks during the summer, and the plan that he now unfolded to Will Rogers was that the Rangers should also go into camp on the island at the same time.

When, according to his custom, Captain Will called a meeting of the band, and laid this proposition before them, it was received with such an outburst of enthusiasm as left no doubt of its popularity.

Although these inland boys, the Rangers, were totally ignorant of the sea and all that pertains to it, save for such knowledge as they had gleaned from books, and the very queer ideas of a seafaring life acquired from the extraordinary drama in which most of them had recently taken part, they believed themselves to be pretty well posted in nautical matters, and were most anxious to test their theories by practical experience. So the motion to become "Sea Rangers," and participate in the proposed "salt-water range," as Captain Will called it, was unanimously carried. Then the meeting was hastily adjourned so that the members might at once lay the gorgeous scheme, just unfolded to them, before their parents, and strive to gain their consent to its being undertaken.

Alas, that such enthusiasm should be dampened! But true it is that, on the following morning, in spite of bicycles and many other blessings, the Ready Rangers were the most disconsolate-looking boys to be seen in all Berks. Not one of them had succeeded in persuading the senior members of his family that the plan, which appeared to him so simple and easy of accomplishment, was either wise or practicable.

"She wanted to know how we thought of going, and how we expected to raise money for the trip, and who was going to take care of us, and all sorts of things like that," remarked little Cal Moody, sadly, in reference to his interview with his mother. "She said she never heard of anything more foolish, even from the Rangers, and that there was no use in even thinking about it as it couldn't be considered for a minute."

"As if a fellow could help thinking about a chance that may not be offered again in a lifetime," said Cracker Bob Jones. "But my folks talked just that same way."

"Mine too," added boy after boy, mournfully.

"I don't, see," argued Sam Ray, "why parents are never willing to own up that some boys at least are perfectly well able to take care of themselves."

"They might give us just one chance to prove whether we are or not," broke in Mif Bowers; "but they won't even do that. They just say, 'No, and that's the end of it.' I declare it's enough to destroy all a fellow's ambition," he added, bitterly.

The canoe club to which Tom Burgess belonged had chartered a small steamer, which was to take them from New York to the island selected for their encampment, leave them there and call for them again at the end of two weeks. As the Berks boys contrasted their own prospects with those thus outlined for their city friends, they felt more and more sorry for themselves, and longed for the time when, with advancing years, they should throw off the shackles of boyhood.

So the summer wore on, school closed, the first month of vacation was passed, and as the time arrived for the canoe club to go into its sea-side camp, the Rangers, to whom the topic was still one of constant conversation, became more and more depressed and inclined to take gloomy views of life in general.

Suddenly, as though by magic, everything was changed, and in a twinkling the darkness of disappointment was dissipated by the golden light of realised hopes. All opposition to their cherished scheme was swept away in the space of a few hours; and while they could still hardly credit their good-fortune, the Rangers found themselves working like beavers to make ready for their salt-water cruise. They were to do the thing up in a style that would beat that of the canoe boys out of sight, too. Oh! It seemed incredible, and they had to reassure each other of their wonderful good-fortune every time they met in order to believe in its reality.

Q. Which of the following is the MOST OPPOSITE in meaning to the word 'practical'?

A passage has been given below. Read it carefully and answer the questions given below the passage. Some of the words have been highlighted in the passage that will help you locate them to find the appropriate answer according to the questions asked.

The Indian cricket team affected a remarkable turnaround on Day 5 of the second Test against England in London, snatching an improbable victory. The win, India’s only third at the iconic Lord’s ground, seemed out of the question when the play started, with India only 154 runs ahead, only four wickets in hand. The situation became hopeless when India lost their last recognised batsman, Rishabh Pant, early on. England’s pacemen were bowling with great hostility and it seemed the home team would need to chase less than 200 in the fourth innings. The Indian pace duo of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, however, had different ideas — they started attacking the bowlers and boundaries began to flow. The home team, angered by Bumrah’s bouncers to James Anderson the previous day, made the spontaneous mistake of bowling too short, targeting the bodies of the two bowlers rather than the wickets. Shami and Bumrah were not intimidated, racking up 89 runs in only 20 overs.

India declared at 298/8, having added 117 runs in only 27.3 overs on Day 5. England were set 272 for victory, a difficult task against a quality pace attack. Sure enough, England lost their openers early, both of them unable to open their account. Captain Joe Root, who scored a ___A___ 180 not out in the first innings to wrestle the advantage for his team, was the biggest obstacle between Virat Kohli’s men and victory — and when Bumrah dismissed him with an unplayable ball, the writing was on the wall. Only three English batsmen touched double figures while five had a duck against their names.

This Indian team has scored some remarkable wins away from home in the last few years, including at Brisbane, Melbourne and Johannesburg. This victory at Lord’s must rank among the very best. The win vindicated Kohli’s decision to field four fast bowlers in the playing eleven as, for the second Test in a row, the pacemen bowled out the home team twice. All 39 English wickets to fall to bowlers so far in the series have been taken by the pace bowlers. However, Kohli and Co. must keep their focus over the next three Tests, for this English team has the ability to hit back hard.

Q. Which of the following is/are true according to the context?

I. England bowled in a friendly manner resulting in a good score for team India

II. India had only 4 wickets in hand at the start of the play of day 5 of the second test match

III. Only three English batsmen had double digits’ score

Captain Joe Root, who scored a ___A___ 180 not out in the first innings to wrestle the advantage for his team, was the biggest obstacle between Virat Kohli’s men and victory — and when Bumrah dismissed him with an unplayable ball, the writing was on the wall. Only three English batsmen touched double figures while five had a duck against their names.

This Indian team has scored some remarkable wins away from home in the last few years, including at Brisbane, Melbourne and Johannesburg. This victory at Lord’s must rank among the very best. The win vindicated Kohli’s decision to field four fast bowlers in the playing eleven as, for the second Test in a row, the pacemen bowled out the home team twice. All 39 English wickets to fall to bowlers so far in the series have been taken by the pace bowlers. However, Kohli and Co. must keep their focus over the next three Tests, for this English team has the ability to hit back hard.

Q. Which of the following can fill the blank marked ‘A’ appropriately?

A passage has been given below. Read it carefully and answer the questions given below the passage. Some of the words have been highlighted in the passage that will help you locate them to find the appropriate answer according to the questions asked.

The Indian cricket team affected a remarkable turnaround on Day 5 of the second Test against England in London, snatching an improbable victory. The win, India’s only third at the iconic Lord’s ground, seemed out of the question when the play started, with India only 154 runs ahead, only four wickets in hand. The situation became hopeless when India lost their last recognised batsman, Rishabh Pant, early on. England’s pacemen were bowling with great hostility and it seemed the home team would need to chase less than 200 in the fourth innings. The Indian pace duo of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, however, had different ideas — they started attacking the bowlers and boundaries began to flow. The home team, angered by Bumrah’s bouncers to James Anderson the previous day, made the spontaneous mistake of bowling too short, targeting the bodies of the two bowlers rather than the wickets. Shami and Bumrah were not intimidated, racking up 89 runs in only 20 overs.
