SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 1

Suspicious as they are of American intentions, and bolstered by court rulings that seem to give them license to seek out and publish any and all government secrets, the media‘s distrust of our government, combined with their limited understanding of the world at large, damages our ability to design and conduct good policy in ways that the media rarely imagine.

The leak through which sensitive information flows from the government to the press is detrimental to policy in so far as it almost completely precludes the possibility of serious discussion. The fear that anything they say, even in what is construed as a private forum, may appear in print, makes many people, whether our own government officials or the leaders of foreign countries, unwilling to speak their minds.

Must we be content with the restriction of our leaders‘ policy discussions to a handful of people who trust each other, thus limiting the richness and variety of ideas that could be brought forward through a larger group because of the nearly endemic nature of this problem? It is vitally important for the leaders of the United States to know the real state of affairs internationally, and this can occur only if foreign leaders feel free to speak their minds to our diplomats.

Until recently, it looked as if the media had convinced the public that journalists were more reliable than the government; however, this may be changing. With the passage of time, the media have lost lustre. They—having grown large and powerful—provoke the same public skepticism that other large institutions in the society do. A series of media scandals has contributed to this. Many Americans have concluded that the media are no more credible than the government, and public opinion surveys reflect much ambivalence about the press.

While leaks are generally defended by media officials on the grounds of the public‘s ―right to know,in reality they are part of the Washington political power game, as well as part of the policy process. The "leaker" may be currying favour with the media, or may be planting information to influence policy. In the first case, he is helping himself by enhancing the prestige of a journalist; in the second, he is using the media as a stage for his preferred policies. In either instance, it closes the circle: the leak begins with a political motive, is advanced by a politicized media, and continues because of politics. Although some of the journalists think they are doing the work, they are more often than not instruments of the process, not prime movers. The media must be held accountable for their activities, just like every other significant institution in our society, and the media must be forced to earn the public‘s trust.

Direction: Read the above Paragraph and answer the following questions.
Q. Based on the information in the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely agree? 

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 1

Mapping the Passage:

  • Para 1 argues that the media‘s suspicion of government and lack of knowledge about the world harm government policy.
  • Para 2 and 3 introduce the concept of the ―leak and explain why it‘s bad for foreign policy.
  • Para 4 states that the media was trusted by the public until recently, but are now met with skepticism.
  • Para 5 argues that leaks are usually part of a power grab and that the media is a pawn in the game.

Review the author‘s main arguments before looking for an answer choice that he agrees with.
Option (A)
recalls the author‘s point in Para 2: ―Leaders often say one thing in public and something quite different in public conversation. The author explains why this occurs—fear of media leaks—and clearly opposes such leaks. Therefore, the author must agree with (A)‘s contention that misinformation is sometimes warranted.

Direction: Read the above Paragraph and answer the following questions.
Q. Implicit in the author‘s argument that leaks result in far more limited and unreliable policy discussions with foreign leaders is the idea that:  

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

Mapping the Passage:

  • Para 1 argues that the media‘s suspicion of government and lack of knowledge about the world harm government policy.
  • Para 2 and 3 introduce the concept of the ―leak and explain why it‘s bad for foreign policy.
  • Para 4 states that the media was trusted by the public until recently, but are now met with skepticism.
  • Para 5 argues that leaks are usually part of a power grab and that the media is a pawn in the game.

This question requires students to find the assumption in the lines mentioned. Review the author‘s argument in 2 Para that leaks harm discussions with foreign leaders. What is the author assuming in this argument?
The author argues that foreign leaders don‘t want their private thoughts to be made public, he must also, therefore, assume that leaders have some sort of reason for not wanting their views to be made public.
Option (D) provides a possible reason. If unclear, use the denial test: if leaders didn‘t have this fear, what would be their motivation for hiding their personal views?

Q. Based on the passage, when the media now challenge the actions of a public official, the public assumes that:  

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

Mapping the Passage:

  • Para 1 argues that the media‘s suspicion of government and lack of knowledge about the world harm government policy.
  • Para 2 and 3 introduce the concept of the ―leak and explain why it‘s bad for foreign policy.
  • Para 4 states that the media was trusted by the public until recently, but are now met with skepticism.
  • Para 5 argues that leaks are usually part of a power grab and that the media is a pawn in the game.

Go back to Para 4 to review what the public thinks of the media. The author argues that the public is equally skeptical of media and government, saying that in the past, the public always assumed the media was right when it challenged the government, but that ―this may be changing.
Therefore, the public might now consider the possibility that the media, rather than the government, is wrong.
While the wrong answer choices distort this, option (C) rewards careful and methodical thought.

SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 8

After Sheetu ...... the magazines and novels, she decided to go out and meet some friends.        

Detailed Solution for SBI CBO Mock Test - 3 - Question 8

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the sentence:
"After Sheetu ...... the magazines and novels, she decided to go out and meet some friends."
The sentence indicates that Sheetu completed the action of reading magazines and novels before deciding to go out and meet her friends. Therefore, we need to use the past perfect tense to indicate the completion of the action before another past action.
Let's evaluate each option:
A: "read" - This is the simple past tense, indicating a past action. However, it does not convey that the action was completed before the decision to go out and meet friends. Incorrect.
B: "had been reading" - This is the past perfect continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action that started before another past action. However, it does not convey that the action was completed before the decision to go out and meet friends. Incorrect.
C: "had read" - This is the correct answer. The past perfect tense "had read" indicates that the action of reading magazines and novels was completed before the decision to go out and meet friends. Correct.
D: "will have read" - This is the future perfect tense, indicating an action that will be completed before a future time. It does not fit the context of the sentence. Incorrect.
E: "reading" - This is the present participle form, indicating an ongoing action in the present. It does not fit the context of the sentence. Incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: "had read."
