SECTION II - ENGLISH
Read the passage and answer the following The referendum marks a firm rejection of the military's hegemony over the Turkish establishment. By undermining the pervasive powers of the armed forces, what do the Turks and their current crop of leaders hope to achieve? Is Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the architect of the referendum and leader of the AKP a party with Islamic roots engaged in a process of turning secular Turkey into a theocracy? Is he an Ottoman-era revivalist or a leader who, in tune with the supposed aspirations of Turks, wants to fast-track Turkey's entry into the European Union by expediting democratisation? Since it came to power in 2002, the AKP leadership has repeatedly reinforced its political commitment to a democratic and secular state, which does not suppress the emergence of a modern Muslim cultural identity. It has also expressed its aspiration of carving out a distinct Turkish national identity, which is neither European nor a 21st century clone of the Ottoman Empire. It appears that the Turks now see themselves as the focal point of an emotionally integrated West Asian commonwealth, which has a thriving economic relationship with the West, especially Europe. As Turkey reinvents itself, it appears that its political transformation is being influenced by three distinct social trends. First, its obsession with Europe is losing some of its gloss. A majority of Turks no longer see Europe as a continent that symbolises modernity and progress. A recent Transatlantic Trends survey conducted by the German Marshall Fund shows that only 38 per cent of Turks are now looking for an EU membership for their country. This is a precipitous drop from 2004, when a vociferous three-fourths of the Turkish respondents sought the EU membership. Conversely, West Asia's appeal as a region that requires greater engagement is rising rapidly within Turkey. In 2009, only 10 per cent of the Turks wanted closer foreign policy ties with their neighbours to the southeast. But that number has doubled in one year. Third, and perhaps the most significant, Turks are showing a deeper respect for their own national identity. Nearly 34 per cent of the respondents, an all-time high, want Turkey to act alone, and plan its own agenda on the international stage. As its leaders listen and Turkey introspects, it is finding comfort in retaining, if not reinforcing, its democratic and secular credentials. President Erdogan went to great lengths to talk about Turkey's deepening commitment to democracy soon after the positive outcome of the referendum. Our faith and trust in democracy has again been seen. We understood once again that the place to solve all kinds of problems is democratic politics and that we can find a solution within democracy for all issues. The power of democracy, the power of politics, and the power of the nation all grew greatly today. The referendum, he stressed, had delivered the message that Turkey supported advanced democracy and freedoms. However, unlike in the past, the political context in which Mr. Erdogan expressed his support for democratic values has fundamentally changed. During the Kemalist era, the push for democracy and secularism was accompanied by a rejection of Islam. But Mr. Erdogan does not see a fundamental contradiction between democracy and Islam. In his view, it is not only necessary to promote democracy but also deepen Turkey's Muslim cultural roots and identity, in tune with the demands of a modern and advanced society. In an article that appeared on the website opendemocracy.net, Turkish columnist Mustafa Akyol wrote: A group of theologians at Ankara University is examining early Islamic sources in order to distinguish core elements from the accretions of later history. He pointed out that this group is supported by the Diyanet Isleri Baskanligi, the Turkish Republic's official religious body, to re-examine the Hadith. The Hadith are narrations of the words and deeds of Prophet Mohammad. Mr. Akyol says that in comparison with the Koran, the Hadith are collectively of huge length, and full of minute
details about how a Muslim should live. Much of the Sharia or Islamic Law is based on the Hadith. This scholastic project, once completed and debated threadbare, could have wide-ranging implications within Turkey and the region beyond. 'The meaning of Turkey's referendum', Atul Aneja, The Hindu dated 29th September 2010. Give a word from the paragraph that means idea to be considered Agenda Referendum Hegemony Expediting 22. What, among the options, is the driving force behind the rejection of Islam during the Kemal era? The Sharia, and the Hadith The push for democracy and secularism Activities of the Diyanet Isleri Baskanligi Replacing old Islam with new democracy and secularism 23. Referendum means The principle or practice of referring measures proposed or passed by a legislative body to the vote of the electorate for approval or rejection A direct vote by the electorate on a question of importance An issue raised by a visiting diplomat to the government he is deputed to All of the above 24. What do you think, among the options, reflects the theme of the second paragraph? Turkeys steadfast belief in democracy and secularism in spite of the re-emergence of the issue of Turkeys Islamic identity after the referendum Erdogan is pushing the country away from its democratic ideals to a more Islamic ground Turkey would be a failure in the EU Turkish Islamic scholars demand a theocratic state
25. It is not only necessary to promote democracy but also deepen Turkey's Muslim cultural roots and identity, in tune with the demands of a modern and advanced society What does this sentence imply? That Turkey must compromise on its Muslim values to accommodate democratic form of government That the Turkish form of Islam must be the base for democracy in the country That Turkey must accommodate both traditional Islamic values but also democracy and modernism None of the above 26. What do you think is the central idea in this paragraph? Turkeys referendum and its current stand on Europe, democracy and Islam Turkeys referendum and its move to support fundamental Islam Turkeys referendum and its European neighbors involvement Turkish efforts to shun democracy 27. How would re-examining the Hadith have far-reaching implications? Hadith is the second base of Islamic law after the Koran, it would affect 1 Billion people on the earth It is an assertion of the Islam-ness of Turkey and the role it plays in the Muslim world This would give ammunition to fundamental Christians to malign the reputation of Islam None of these 28. What is the major difference between the Kemalist era and Erdogans policies? Erdogan integrates Islam and democracy, while Kemalism distanced Islam Kemalism completely ignored democracy, seeking a theocratic State Erdogan aims to bridge the gap between Islam fundamentalism and modernity Both (a) and (c) 29. The referendums firmest result was Rejection of Islam
Rejection of democracy Rejection of Turkish values Rejection of Military hegemony 30. Are the trends of the results of the referendum pointing towards Islamization? Yes, but democracy is still needed No, they are in favour of Kemalism They support Erdogans policies on EU Accession None of the above 31. Read and answer One of the major problems that has provoked exciting polemics and aggravated majority pressures is the enactment of a uniform civil code for the citizens throughout the territory of India, as desiderated in Article 44. The provision is cautiously worded and calls upon the State to endeavor' to secure such a code. It is neither time-bound nor carries a compulsive urgency. But the Hindu fundamentalists make it a militant demand as if Hindu law should be made the national family law. There is apprehension in the mind of the Muslim minority that the Quran is in danger, that its sacred family law will be jettisoned. In the Shah Bano case in 1986, the Supreme Court expressed displeasure at the delay in framing a uniform civil code, which was regarded as a secular imperative. Raging controversy demanding the uniform code followed and was resisted in full fury by the Muslim minority, with distinguished exceptions. It is true that a common family code for all citizens alike may be a solidarity factor strengthening a sense of fraternity. But national unity is not in peril by the absence of such a code. Nor does the enactment of such a code eliminate religious fumes and divisive feelings. In Goa, from the Portuguese days, there has been a common civil code. Nevertheless, communal differences and religious schisms do mar the politics of the State. Even among the Hindus, there were different schools of law until some measure of statutory uniformity, not all progressive, was brought about. Did nationalism diminish because of divergences? Among Christians, there have been different laws in different areas (a la Travancore and Cochin) and disparities among men and women in the matter of inheritance. True, among Muslims, matriarchal system prevailed in Malabar without weakening their national commitment. The status of women under the Shariat vis--vis marriage, divorce and inheritance may justify some changes in Islamic jurisprudence. The uniform code as a militant demand with a chauvinist sharpness had died down. The entire issue has been recently revived by a Supreme Court judgment advocating a uniform civil code alongside its expression of regret at the non-implementation of Article 44 of the Constitution. The Chief Justice of India, V.N. Khare, claimed that such a code would help the cause of national integration and removing the contradiction based on (religious) ideology. The Sangh Parivar pugnaciously advocated this proposition. To coerce the Muslim minority to give up its family law may do more harm than good to national unity in the current crisis of corrosive communalism. In the Pannalal Bansilal case, the Supreme Court made certain observations pregnant with progressive pragmatism:
Page 9
"In a pluralist society like India, in which people have faith in their respective religious beliefs or tenets propounded by different religions or their offshoots, the founding fathers, while making the Constitution, were confronted with problems to unify and integrate people of India professing different religious faiths, born in different castes, creeds or sub-sections in the society, speaking different languages and dialects in different regions and provided a secular Constitution to integrate all sections of the society as a united Bharat. The directive principles of the Constitution themselves visualise diversity and attempt to foster uniformity among people of different faiths. A uniform law, though it is highly desirable, enactment thereof in one go perhaps may be counter-productive to unity and integrity of the nation. In a democracy governed by the rule of law, gradual progressive change and order should be brought about. Making [a] law or [an] amendment to a law is a slow process and the legislature attempts to remedy where the need is felt most acute. It would, therefore, be inexpedient and incorrect to think that all laws have to be made uniformly applicable to all people in one go. The mischief of defect, which is most acute, can be remedied by process of law at stages." Justice V Krishnan Iyer, Unifying Personal Law, The Hindu, 6th September 2003. Which option best is the best explanation for this sentence? One of the major problems that has provoked exciting polemics and aggravated majority pressures is the enactment of a uniform civil code (UCC) for the citizens throughout the territory of India, as desiderated in Article 44 It is unsuitable to think that all UCC laws have to be made in a similar manner for all the people across the Nation An issue that has led to arguments and repeated lobbying is the creation of UCC UCC is the issue of paramount constitutional importance UCC is the most un-implementable of all Constitutional provisions 32. The most plausible argument for the creation of UCC, among the given sentences is The uniform code as a militant demand with a chauvinist sharpness had died down In the Shah Bano case in 1986, the Supreme Court expressed displeasure at the delay in framing a uniform civil code, which was regarded as a secular imperative Nevertheless, communal differences and religious schisms do mar the politics of the State It is true that a common family code for all citizens alike may be a solidarity factor strengthening a sense of fraternity 33. Which of the following would be held as a solution to the issue of bad law? A uniform law, though it is highly desirable, enactment thereof in one go perhaps may be counterproductive to unity and integrity of the nation In a democracy governed by the rule of law, gradual progressive change and order should be brought
about The mischief of defect, which is most acute, can be remedied by process of law at stages None of the above 34. Which sentence does not concern itself with the immediate reactions of Muslims to the UCC? To coerce the Muslim minority to give up its family law may do more harm than good to national unity in the current crisis of corrosive communalism Raging controversy demanding the uniform code followed and was resisted in full fury by the Muslim minority, with distinguished exceptions. There is apprehension in the mind of the Muslim minority that the Quran is in danger, that its sacred family law will be jettisoned This question is contextually incorrect 35. What does pugnacious mean? Argumentative Polemical Confrontational All of the above 36. Hindu Schools of Jurisprudence were not brought together until Supreme Court case law Statutory uniformity Indian Hindu Council sessions None of the above 37. The directive principles of the Constitution themselves visualize diversity and attempt to foster uniformity among people of different faiths. Why do you think this sentence is included in the passage? Because Art. 44, covering UCC, is a directive principle Directive Principles, though not binding on the Government, are of tremendous importance to policy
construction Both (A) and (B) Because the UCC is an un-implementable law, this sentence seeks to elaborate on the UCCs implementation capacities 38. Which word in the paragraph denotes the act of being thrown Desideration Corrosive Jettison Disposition 39. Pregnant with progressive pragmatism. Interesting wordplay. What would it mean? Full of forwardness and practicality Offspring who look to practicality Poignant musings None of the above 40. What do you think is the central idea in this paragraph? The arguments for and against the UCC A look at the need for, and the current position of UCC UCC and its Constitutionality UCC and its successful implementation 41. A. It was observed that awareness about intellectual disability is very low in this region compared to other areas of the state. B.

C. The current US government inherited a rapidly deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan from the George W Bush presidency. D. During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly framed the Afghanistan war as the "good" war, contrasting it to the unpopular war in Iraq, which was widely perceived in the United States as an
avoidable conflict. CBDA CDAB CADB ABDC 44. A. Finally, Afghanistan is often believed to be irredeemable due to its widespread illiteracy. B. A big myth in Afghanistan is that democracy or stable government is incompatible with tribal values. C. This line of reasoning is reminiscent of such notions of democracy being inconsistent with "Asian values", a fiction that has only too recently been exposed as such. D. But India, which admittedly benefitted from stronger institutions inherited from decades of British rule, managed to forge a successful pluralistic democracy with a population that was just one-fifth literate in 1947. BCAD CADB DBCA ABDC 45. A. The critics are not wrong: with its song and dance routine; muddled story lines; and escapist fare, popular cinema of which Bollywood fantasy dramas represent an apogee frequently bear little semblance to reality. B. Unrealistic and simplistic as Bollywood may be, its exaggerations are still reflective of the prevailing social norms. C.

SECTION III - LEGAL REASONING

PRINCIPLE: The right of private defence is available to a person for defending his own body and the body of other persons. FACTS: H happens to see X, his brother, fighting with Q. In fact, they were playing. At a point when H thought that X was to be felled by Q, he kicked Q to death. On being charged with murder, H pleads the right of self defence. Decide: He is guilty since it is a genuine mistake of fact. H is guilty of murder.
H is not guilty None of these 62. PRINCIPLE: A person who interferes with anothers use and enjoyment of public places is liable for nuisance FACTS: Rampal runs a tea stall by the roadside. He has installed benches outside his stall and also a table fan for the comfort of his customers. His benches, the fan and other possessions extend into the road. Is Rampal liable for nuisance? Rampal is not liable for nuisance since his shop is itself a public place. Rampal is not liable for nuisance since a road is not a public place Rampal is liable for nuisance because his shop extends into the road and hence can hamper the movement in the road. Rampal is not liable because it is commonplace in India to have roadside stalls and removing them will cause great hardship to people. 63. PRINCIPLE: An accident without any negligence does not give any rise to a wrong. FACTS: Amar is a tenant living in Jhals house. Jhal warns him against the danger of the open wiring but Amar doesnt pay heed. A few days later, there are heavy rains which results in a short-circuit. This causes a fire and the house burns down. Jhal believes that the fire was due to the negligence of Amar who should have taken care to prevent the fire. Is Amar liable? Amar is liable because he had been pre-warned by Jhal against the danger of wiring in the open. Amar is not liable because it is Jhals responsibility to take care of the wire as he is the owner. Amar is liable because he is the tenant and he had been forewarned about the problem. Amar is not liable since the fire was an accident and not negligence. 64. PRINCIPLE: Something done to prevent a greater harm can be used as a defence. FACTS: There is a fire in the nearby slum. So, Shatrugan goes there and starts pulling down the huts to prevent the spread of fire. The fire never reached these huts and the fire department brought it under control in a matter of minutes. The owners of these huts want to sue Shatrugan. Is he liable? Shatrugan is liable because he acted without thinking. Shatrugan is not liable because his intentions were noble and he wished to stem the fire which could have caused widespread damage. Shatrugan is laible because his actions were not required and caused trouble as the fire never reached the huts.
Shatrugan is not liable because he did not cause the fire. 65. PRINCIPLE: The owner of the premises is liable for all damage caused to his invitees, such as can be reasonably foreseeable. FACTS: A was an experienced swimmer but not an expert. He was fond of diving. Going to a new swimming pool on day, he sees a diving board and uses it. A wears spectacles of a very high power of -7.50. Because he was going to be swimming, he didnt see the small sign which prohibited diving. He died. Are the swimming pool authorities culpable? Yes. The harm is reasonably foreseeable. No. The owner fulfilled his/her duty by putting up the sign. No. People with such high power should not go swimming. No. A should be careful while swimming in new places. 66. PRINCIPLE: The occupier of a premise owes a duty of care to all his invitees and visitors. FACTS: Parikshit was constructing an underground water tank within his premises. Since the construction work was not complete, the open surface of the tank was covered with gunny bags. Parikshits house was located in a very posh colony and was a very beautiful one too. A postman came to deliver a registered letter. Parikshit had put a post box at the gate so that all the mails to him could be deposited there. The postman fell into the tank and hurt himself. Parikshit is not liable as the postman was not an invitee. Parikshit is not liable as the postman did not take care. Parikshit is liable as the postman entered his house in performance of his duty to deliver the mail. Parikshit is not liable as it was the postmans fault that he did not notice the post box outside the house which was the place where letters were meant to be deposited. 67. PRINCIPLE: (1) Whoever is under a duty of care to another shall be liable for any injury to the latter directly resulting from the breach of the duty. (2) A master is liable for all the wrongs committed by his servant during the course of employment. FACTS: Thomas Stores sent certain items on a horse carriage to a customers house that was by the side of the main road and near a university zone. The driver of the carriage had been serving long at the store. The driver of the horse carriage was carrying the goods into the house leaving the carriage unattended on the road. In the meantime, there was a certain amount of confusion and chaos in the university due to the elections running there. Suddenly, riot broke loose in the university campus and students came running out in a mob. They hit against the horse which ran in confusion and when it was about to run over a girl, her boyfriend at great risk to his life, managed to seize the horse and stop the carriage. In the process, the boy suffered serious personal injuries.
The Dean of the university is responsible to compensate the boy. Thomas Stores is liable to the boy. The carriage-driver is liable to compensate the boy. The boy cannot claim any relief from any of the parties in this case. 68. PRINCIPLE: When any person dishonestly takes any movable property out of the possession of any other person without his/her consent, he/she is guilty of theft. FACTS: Hashish comes to Poppys house and takes away a book with the intention to return it. Hashish commits theft because the book has been taken without Poppys consent. Hashish does not commit theft because he intends to return the book. Hashish commits theft because he has taken a book which is a movable property. Hashish commits theft because he has moved the book from Poppys house. 69. PRINCIPLE: When any person dishonestly takes any movable property out of the possession of any other person without his/her consent, he/she is guilty of theft. FACTS: Ganji finds a purse and keeps it. Ganji commits theft because the purse does not belong to him. Ganji commits theft because he does not try to find the owner. Ganji does not commit theft because the purse was not taken from anybodys possession. Ganji commits theft because he does not report to the police. 70. PRINCIPLE: When any person dishonestly takes any movable property out of the possession of any other person without his/her consent, he/she is guilty of theft. FACTS: Rana finds a diamond ring lying on Prithvis table. Rana picks up the ring and places it under the sofa in Prithvis living room with the intention of retrieving it for himself at a later time. Rana commits theft because he has moved the ring from Prithvis table without his consent. Rana does not commit theft because he has still not left Prithvis house. Rana does not commit theft because Prithvi is careless with his valuables.
Page 22
Rana commits the theft the moment he picks up the ring whether or not he dishonestly intended to keep it. 71. PRINCIPLE: The owner of immovable property is entitled to a column of air space above the surface. But, the owners right to air space above his land is restricted to such height as is necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of his land and the structures on it. FACTS: Suyra Cable TV provides cable faciclity to its customers. One such cable connection passes over the house of Mr. Birla who is not a customer of Surya Cable TV Company. The cable is neither attached to his house nor to any projection thereof but it 2-3 feet above the terrace of Mr. Birlas 1 storied house. Because of the cable, Mr. Birla is unable to utilize his roof for drying clothes. Mr. Birla requested the cable company to alter the position of the cable, but to no avail. One day, Mr. Birla cut the cable and thus cleared the airspace above his house. The cable company having suffered a loss of Rs. 1000 brings legal action against Mr. Birla. The company will not succeed because Mr. Birla has every right to ensure proper enjoyment of his property by removing objects causing obstruction in the airspace above his property to a reasonable extent. The company will succeed because like electricity telephone cables, laying of such cables is a common practise in all cities. The company will succeed because the cable was not interfering with the ordinary use and enjoyment of Mr. Birlas property. None of these. 72. PRINCIPLE: Any person who keeps dangerous animals must take adequate care to ensure safety of neighbours and visitors and forewarn them about the animal. FACTS: X keeps a tiger in his house. One day Y comes to see X. The tiger moves around inside the house freely and is very friendly to members of the house. As soon as Y knocks on the door of X, Y heard howling of a tiger from inside. As soon as X opens the door, Y faints and suffers head injury from the fall. Y demands compensation. X is not liable to Y as the tiger did not attack Y. X is liable to Y as a tiger falls within the category of a dangerous animal. X is not liable to Y as it was due to Ys sensitivity that he fainted. X is liable to Y as he should have put up a warning notice. 73. PRINCIPAL: For every legally authorized act of the servant, the master is liable provided that the act falls within the course of employment when either the master has authorized the same or it is a wrongful mode of doing some authorized act. FACTS: A school bus driver, after dropping all the children home, stopped at a roadside restaurant for
having lunch. While he was having lunch, conductor of the bus, who was not having a driving license, drove the bus in order to turn it. While turning the bus he caused an accident whereby a small boy, restaurant owners son was injured. Restaurant owner brought a suit against school authorities. Restaurant owners suit against school will fail. School authorities are to be held liable as conductor is an employee of the school. School authorities are liable since the driver and conductor had finished the task of leaving children, a task for which they were authorized by the school authorities. None of the above. 74. LEGAL PRINCIPLE: An employer is responsible for any accident or loss caused to his employees, during the course of employment. FACTUAL SITUATION: Menon runs the African Circus. The circus has an interesting night show. Two motor cyclists, Venkat and Mishra, rotate their motorcycles inside a big iron globe in complete darkness. And the audience, especially the children give a big clap. One day it so happens that during one night show an accident occurs inside the globe. Venkat and Mishra collide with each other and Venkat loses both his legs. His parents claim compensation from Menon, the proprietor of the circus. Menon is not liable to pay any compensation because he cannot be held responsible for the accident. Menon is liable to pay compensation because he is the employer and the, accident occurred during the course of employment Menon is not liable to pay any compensation but he can pay some amount to Rohit if he has sympathy for him. None of the above. 75. PRINCIPLE: Volenti non fit injuria, a well established legal principle, means that a person has no legal remedy for the injury caused by an act to which he consented with regard to taking risk. Contributory negligence is in some way contributing towards the harm caused to oneself by another. FACTS: An old lady was walking in a narrow one-way lane in the opposite direction. It was night time and there was no street lighting. A car moving in right direction but without headlights knocked her down since the driver could not see her. She filed a suit against the driver. She would lose, because she violated the traffic rules in the first instance. She would lose, because she voluntarily exposed herself to the risks. The driver would lose, because he drove without proper headlights. She would win the case but the compensation would be lessened. 76.
PRINCIPLE: The occupier of a premise owes a duty of care to all his invitees and visitors. FACTS: Harish Verma arranged a cocktail for his friends in his farm house with nice gardens and a swimming pool. The area of the swimming pool was, brightly lit and the pool had sufficient enclosures. Someone, of the guests, in his inebriated condition, strayed into the area of swimming pool and fell into the pool, and suffered injuries. He filed a suit against Harish Verma claiming damages. Harish Verma is not liable, because he invited the guests only for the party and not for the swimming. Harish Verma cannot be held responsible for the drinking propensities of his friends. Harish Verma as a host would be responsible to take care guests when they are in his premises. None of these 77. PRINCIPLE: A man must not make such use of his property as unreasonably and unnecessarily to cause inconvenience to his neighbours. Contributory negligence is in some way contributing towards the harm caused to oneself by another. FACTS: Mr.Z is the owner of a plot measuring 50 feet by 80 feet. He constructed a small house at one corner and was using the rest of the land as a cow shed. He had 20 cows and is involved in selling the milk to the public. The cow dung and other wastes were openly stored in a small 10 feet by 8 feet tank. This constantly paved way for bad smell and breeding of mosquitoes. Mrs. Y, his neighbour constantly complained to Mr. Z but in vain. Mrs. Y buys milk from Mr. Z. Y cannot take any other action against Z Z can do something to prevent the foul smell Y can complain to the police Y can sue Z for damages based on the inconvenience caused by Z 78. PRINCIPLE: An act of God is an operation of natural forces so unexpected that no human foresight or skill could reasonably be expected to anticipate it. FACTS: The Panchkula Colony was celebrating its 10th Anniversary and arranged for a concert by a leading musical group. The event was organised in one of the best auditoriums and all the tickets were sold out. On the day of the event, an earthquake destroyed many buildings including the auditorium. People who had purchased the tickets asked for refund from the Panchkula Colony Association as the show could not take place. The Panchkula Association must refund the cost of tickets The management of the auditorium must refund the cost of the tickets The Panchkula or anyone else need not refund the cost of tickets as it is an act of God
Page 25
The ticket holders can demand the show to be organised at a later point of time. 79. PRINCIPLE: Even if the sovereign functions of the State are discharged negligently the State is not vicariously liable in tort. FACTS: A was a trader in gold. There he was arrested by Police and was detained in the police lock up after search. The gold with him along with sundry other things were seized. Later he was discharged. His possessions seized by the police were returned, except the gold. HE moved against the State in tort. In the words of Supreme Court, There can be no escape from the conclusion that the Police Officers were negligent in dealing with the property after it was seized. One of the Constables was a Muslim. He fled with gold to Pakistan. A succeeded because the servants of the State were negligent and thus caused injury A failed because the Constable who seized the gold had fled to Pakistan and the gold was not with the State at all A failed because the acts of search and seizure by the Police Office were part of the sovereign function of the State. There was some other relief given to A 80. PRINCIPLE: If, as a result of carelessness, one injures another, he is legally liable to the injured victim for resulting damages, unless the victims own carelessness also contributed to causing the accident. However, if one becomes aware that another has, through his own fault, placed himself in peril of which he is unaware or from which he cannot extricate himself, and the one so aware can still avoid injury to the helpless victim through the exercise of reasonable care, the one so aware will be liable for injuries which he causes the helpless victim through failure to take advantage of this ultimate opportunity to save the victim from such injuries. FACTS: Jha ignored a red light and drove his car onto the railway tracks as a train was approaching. The motor stalled and Jha did not have sufficient time to get the car across the tracks. Lalu, the railway engine driver, saw Jha and could have stopped the train had he not been busy lighting a smoke. They collided and Jha was injured. In an action by Jha against Lalu. Jha will win because lie could not get to safety in time. Jha will win because Lalu was operating the train in a careless manner and he had the last opportunity. Jha will lose because Lalu was relying on the warning signal. Jha will lose because he did not obey the red signal. 81. PRINCIPLE: (1) If a person makes a statement that lowers the reputation of another person in the eyes of right thinking people, then it is defamation. (2) The person whose reputation is affected can sue the culprit and recover damages.
FACTS: Rama told Sita You are a thief. You stole my heart and have given it to Laxman. Sita said, Laxman is no less of a thief. He stole my heart and gave it to Urmila. Laxman overheard the conversation. He was furious and felt that he had been defamed. In a defamation suit brought by Laxman against Sita: Sita is liable to Laxman as she has defamed Laxman. Sita has defamed Laxman as she had lowered his reputation in the eyes of right-thinking people. Sita is not responsible as right thinking people will not think of this as defamation. None of the above. 82. PRINCIPLE: Negligence is the breach of a duty caused by the omission to do something which a reasonable man guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs would do, or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not FACTS: A four year old boy attending a nursery school strayed from the premises on to a public road. At the same time a truck was approaching towards the school. The driver, Mr. X, saw the boy and to avoid hitting him, took a sudden left turn and hit an electricity pole. Mr. X got his left leg fractured in the accident but the boy was saved. Later, Mr. X claimed compensation from the school management. The school management is not liable because it was the boys fault that he ran on the road without any sort of permission. The school management is liable because it being a nursery school, an adequate amount of care is meant to be taken of kids which is absent in the given case. The childs parents are liable and not the school management. None of the above. 83. PRINCIPLE: If a persons cattle or other animal trespasses on anothers land, the owner of the animal is responsible for the trespass and consequential damage. The person who suffers such damage has a right to seize and detain animal causing trespass. FACTS: Mr. Pinter is breeding geese in his farm near Goa. Some ten geese from his farm entered into a nearby farm of Mrs. Samuel and damaged her crop of peas. She got annoyed, brought out her 12 bore shotgun and fired at the geese. Three of them died on the spot and four others were injured Mr. Pinter brought action against Mrs. Samuel for compensation. Mrs. Samuel claims that the geese have been a nuisance for quite some time and that she had every legal right to shoot at them and thus detain them forever. Mrs. Samuel is not liable as she had every right to the enjoyment of her land which was being interfered with by the geese of Mr. Pinter. Mrs. Samuel is not liable as the geese had destroyed much of her land and her act was justified to that extent.
Page 27
Mrs. Samuel is liable because she did not detain the geese but straightaway killed (some) and injured them, the right of which she had not been given. Mr. Pinter has no right to demand compensation because it was his geese in the first place that created nuisance in Mrs. Samuels property. 84. The principles of natural justice are two fundamental principles widely held to be legally necessary to a fair trial or valid decision in a legal system. These are: 1. nemo iudex in causasua: "nobody shall be a judge in his own cause", 2. audi alteram partem: "hear the other side", In the on-going Rani-gate scam, Minister Ms. B. Rani was alleged to have been involved in a scam that led to the loss of mammoth amounts from the government treasury. Rani was the Minister for Promotion for Demotic Drama in the ruling coalition. Rani, in the corridors of power was known for his corrupt dealings with business houses and was popular among the business lobbies as well. A special tribunal was instituted to look into the alleged corruption by Rani, in his personal capacity as Minister. The tribunal was headed by two retired Supreme Court Judges and eminent advocate Mr.Bheervai, who hailed from the same caste as Rani. During the course of hearing and proceedings The Ministry for Promotion of Demotic Drama was allowed to present their side and all the allegations were put forth by the Solicitor General of India. In response, the Ministry was given the chance to clear its stand on the matter and the Secretary presented the views. A hue and cry was raised after the proceedings were over alleging that principles of natural justice were not followed. Bheervai belonged to the same community as Rani and so he had been a judge in his own cause. No violation of principles of natural justice as the other side was heard and given the opportunity to present their side of the argument. Violation as Rani was not heard out in court and her personal stance in response to the allegations were not presented before court. The fact that Ranis corruption was prominent and well-known, the Tribunal, as such, didnt require to hear Ranis testimony in person, as the facts were already known. 85. Qui facit per alium facit per se. He who acts through another, is deemed in law to have acted himself. Sandipan was an employee of Asad who ran Clatgyan.com. Apart from framing legal reasoning questions, Sandipan also had to look after the upkeep of Asads room. Asad had once asked Sandipan to go out with Asads car and buy daily necessities for him. While doing so, Sandipan stopped at Nani Wines and got intoxicated after consuming some alcohol. Sandipan was very cheerful and started waving at everyone while driving down Karimnagar highway. His high spiritedness led him to mowing down two innocent villagers near RajinderDhaba. The next of kin sue for compensation. Asad is liable as Sandipan was working for clatgyan.com Asad is a rich guy and therefore he must compensate for his servants wrongs.
Page 28
Sandipan is liable for doing an authorised act in a wrong manner. Asad is not vicariously liable. Sandipan is liable for doing an authorised act wrongly. Asad is vicariously liable. 86. Causation of a legal injury leads to a tort claim actionable per se. St. Pauls School has long offered value based education to its students and is one of the foremost schools in this country. An upstart, Vikas Academy, could not care less for value and morals. They only cater to IIT entrance examinations. They charge fees that is 1/5th of what St. Pauls does. St. Pauls brings a suit of action against Vikas alleging that their right has been violated as students now tend to flock to the latter due to the fees they charge. Legal Injury has been caused thus Vikass actions have led to violation of a legal right for which they have to pay compensation. No competition laws are in force. Government needs to put them into force to check unhealthy competition. The fact situation leads one to the conclusion that the claim is not actionable per se. No legal injury. No action. Follows Damnum sine injuria. 87. For a contract an offer has to be made that is accepted and there is consensus ad idem. (consensus on the same matter in the same way) Professor Hasi of NALSAR is the contracts faculty who lives alone in his NALSAR bungalow. He goes to a shop and asks them to deliver rice to his residence.In their previous dealings of about 12 years, Prof. Hasi had alwaysordered the Basmati variety of rice. The shopkeeper stores five varieties of rice. He delivers Krishnakali variety. Professor had wanted Basmati. Shopkeeper wants to enforce the contract. There was offer. There was acceptance. Valid contract. Binding on the Professor. There was consensus. Both parties understood rice to be the subject matter of the agreement. Valid contract. A contract is based on other considerations under Section 26 of the Indian Contracts Act; one such consideration is previous dealings, according to which, previous dealings would form an implied understanding as to the subject. Consensus ad idem absent. Contract void. 88. Parliamentary Proceedings (Protection of Publication) Act grants qualified privilege to the publication of the reports of proceedings of Parliament and gives immunity against civil or criminal proceedings. Also applicable to all State Legislative Assemblies. ShameerpetSamachar reported excerpts from AP Assembly proceedings. The page also contained a sketch of the proceedings which depicted the proceedings. Prominence was given to Mr. X in the sketch. Mr. X claims libel .
The enitirety, report as well as sketch is protected under the Act. The report has excerpts therefore the tabloid had malafide intentions defame Mr. X Report and sketch are separate. Liable for the sketch. Reporst protected under the Act. Mr. X is an MLA. He must not be depicted in funny cartoons. 89. A valid defence against a claim of defamation is truth ShayakSircar alleges that the ruling party in Bengal was involved in a scam . It was investigated and was found that a scam was indeed in the offing but Mr.Sircar could in no way have a whiff of it. Sircar is liable. He could not have known. He is liable. Spreading rumour against a government which is not substantiated is amounting to defamation. Sircar is not liable as truth is a valid defence in this case. Whiff or not, his allegations are true and therefore he is protected. Sircar has defamed a government and must be hauled to the courts. 90. Negligence is failure in the duty to take reasonable care. Trespass in interfering with the use and enjoyment of ones property. Vaneesh is a chain smoker who smokes nothing but Classic Milds. He lights a smoke and stands beside Aymens window and starts blowing smoke through the window into Aymens room, located just beside the pavement where Vaneesh is standing. Vaneesh is responsible for negligence as he has not taken reasonable care. Vaneesh is liable for trespass. Vaneesh is not liable for trespass as he is on the pavement and not inside Aymens house. It is neither trespass nor negligence. 91. Scienti non fit injuria. Mere knowledge of the risk does not imply consent to undergo harm. Keerthi wants to hitch a ride to Hyderabad city from NALSAR. He stops Mahesh who was driving by. Mahesh was drunk. Keerthi knew that Mahesh was inebriated but still took the lift. An accident occurs where Keerthi is injured and he brings a suit against Mahesh. Mahesh is liable. Mahesh can claim the defence of volenti non fit injurua
Mahesh is liable as Keerthi had not consented to the harm. Keerthi had knowledge of Mahesh being drunk. Still he took a lift. He can claim no compensation. 92. During placement week at NALSAR, Karyakarte is offered an 18.8 lakhs package from ABC Partners. He signs a contract saying that he shall accept no other offer and shall join ABC at the end of his college, otherwise it threatened that ABC will never come back to NALSAR placements. Karyakarte gets a foreign offer from Stuart Herbes LLP. He decides to forfeit the contract with ABC and join the foreign law firm. Consent is vitiated by coercion, fraud, misrepresentation, mistake,etc. as per section 10 of the Indian Contracts Act,1872. Karyakartes have led to breach of contract. Karyakarte is bound to join ABC Partners. There was no consent. Therefore no contract. Karyakarte is free to join the foreign offer. Karykarte will have to pay compensation to ABC as per clauses in the contract. 93. Decision of a higher court or higher bench strength is binding on a lower court or a lower bench strength, subject to jurisdictional issues. A Division Bench of Andhra Pradesh gives a ruling in a particular case. A matter arises in the Calcutta High Court before a single judge bench with similar facts in toto. Earlier decision is binding on Calcutta HC as per the principle stated herein Calcutta HC is one of the Presidency High Courts and therefore its status is above that of AP HC. Not binding. The decision only has persuasive value. As per article 141 of the Consitution law stated by the Higher Judiciary is law of the land and therefore binding. 94. In a standard form of contract acceptance of conditions does not necessarily validate them and the conditions are subject to scrutiny of court in case they abrogate rights of the consumers. XYZ Cinemas in Hyderabad was screening Rajnikanths latest movie Robot. Sai Subhankar was a great fan of the said actor who had gone to the theatre to experience the movie. Premangsu was the parking lot attendant. He handed over a ticket to Sai which charged him Rs. 60 per hour for parking space. Conditions stated in this parking ticket read that Parking was at owners risk. Sais vehicle was stolen by car thieves and Sai sues XYZ cinemas for compensation. XYZ cinemas employsChandalia as their advocate who is a NALSAR alum and famed lawyer in company matters. Chandalia contends that conditions were clearly stated in the parking ticket and therefore as Sai bought the ticket it was acceptance of the offer and thus he could not sue for compensation.
Honble Justice Atulaa Krishnamurthy is presiding over the matter. She would decide : Valid contract therefore no claim could be enforced as already conditions were laid down. Abrogates rights of having the power to frame his own contract. Should get compensation. XYZ cinemas must compensate Sai as per the deep pocket theory. In a standard form of contracts there is scope for abrogation of rights which occurred and therefore even though a valid contract was in existence Atula J. Would grant compensation. 95. Om Agarwal and his friend Anjuli are residents of Justice City. Rules of this city state that when offeror makes a proposal that is accepted by the offeree over a lawful subject for lawful consideration and there is consensus ad idem, a valid contract comes into existence. Breach of such a contract results in being subjected punishment of spending a day with the lions. Sak-c buys a carton of Dunhill cigarettes from Sandipan and wants to earn a quick profit by selling them off at a higher price. He goes to Karthik&Archit Associates, an auctioneer in Justice City and puts the carton on sale, by auction. Anjuli happened to attend the auction and though not a smoker herself, wishes to buy the carton to gift her friend Premangsu. She was the highest bidder and wins the auction. Now she suddenly realises that she cannot take back the carton home with her due to parental restrictions and refuses to honour her promise. No written contract. She can walk out. In an auction a person can refuse to honour an obligation at any point. Contract binding. She has to honour the promise. Written contract absent. Even though she accepted the offer but she can refuse as there is no proof of her acceptance that can be presented in a court of law. 96. Principle of privity of contracts implies that when there is a valid contract between two parties no claim may arise with regard to a third party who has no rights or interest arising from the contract. Paaras and Vishal entered into a Limited Liability Partnership agreement to form a Special Purpose Vehicle to work on a project development. NALSAR had earlier owned this land beside the beautiful Shamirpet lake. NALSAR gave development rights to Vishal who further contracted Paaras to work on the afore mentioned SPV. A clause in the agreement between Vishal and NALSAR stated that Vishal could form joint ventures etc. with other parties but Vishals holding in such should not be diluted below 50%. LLP agreement proposed a 70:30 share in favour of Paaras. Vishal and Paaras had employed a law firm called Nooj-es-Partners. This law firm did slipshod work and omitted to look into the dilution clause and there remained a flaw in the LLP agreement. During development Vishal noticed the flaw and citing that he said that he could not continue in partnership with Paaras and offered him a backout option that the latter rejected. Paaras approached the A.P. High Court filing a suit against NALSAR and made Vishal a party to it.
NALSAR is liable to indemnify Paaras as the original agreement allowed joint ventures. Violation of the NALSAR-Vishal agreement. Dilution caused in the LLP format therefore VishalPaaras agreement is void ab initio and so Paaras has no right. Paaras cannot enforce a right against NALSAR but can surely seek compensation from Vishal subject to clauses in the second agreement and the courts interpretation. Vishal needs to amend the cause title of the cause and remove Vishal as a party to the case. 97. An international treaty is confirmed when the Head of the State signs on the document. It is binding on the country only when its Parliament ratifies it. This is called Dual Ratification. Republic of Asadasia and Clatgyandom entered into an agreement over sharing of legal resources between the two countries. Aymen was the President of Asadasia and he signed the document. The Parliament of Asadasia refused to ratify the agreement as they believed it was against national interest. Aymen was infuriated at the same and now dissolved the Parliament. Thus no Parliament was left to ratify the treaty. Treaty is binding on the country now. Treaty is confirmed. There has to be a referendum held. Treaty is not binding. 98. According to Hindu Law in India a custom has to be proved to be a long standing one to be accepted as law of the land with relation to Hindus. In Punjab and Haryana there is the custom of KhapPanchayats with decide matters relating to religious issues. In an honour killing case the Khap approved of the killing that took place. KhapPanchayat leaders can be booked under the IPC for abetment to murder. Khaps are a long standing custom that has to be accepted by law. Honour killing in itself is illegal. KhapPanchayats, if proved to be custom, can be made legal even if it is against morality or ethics. 99. Section 377 of the IPC has been decriminalised by the Delhi HC. Pick the correct option. Homosexuality (dealt with in sec 377) is now legal. Homosexuality is no legal in Delhi.
Page 33
Supreme court needs to clear the stand. A homosexual is no more a criminal but law still does not legalise his/her sexual orientation. 100. Sandipan was in full flow while framing legal questions for the Test Series of 2011. In actuality he was not happy with the legal questions in the first test of the test series. He decides to lambast Asad and his legal questions in every question in the section and slights him at every possible opportunity throughout the paper. Principle of defamation states that a statement oral or written which causes harm to the reputation of a person is deemed defamatory such that there is publication of the same. Sandipan has qualified privilege as defamation through examples in fact situations is not defamation. Sandipan has indulged in defamation by causing harm to Asads reputation. These questions have been read by a third person other than Aymen. In fact, all of you people who are taking the test are reading it. There has been defamation. Sandipan claims grave and sudden provocation which is a valid claim. 101. Timewarp 1982. The USSR Constitution provides for Fundamental Rights. One such FR guarantees the Right to Practice of Profession and any trade, subject to restraints of law and moral connotations. The Moscow Red Light district is under glare from the MILITIA (Russian Police). The sex workers approach a court of competent jurisdiction and claim that their FR has been infringed and files a writ petition. They have the right to practice sex trade. Constitutional guarantee does not mean moral connotations being ignored. Right to solicit maybe taken away but the sex workers cannot be forced to give up their trade. This is a matter of executive domain and the government may frame rules in the Gazzette notification as per executive orders this subject maybe dealt with. Court is not the guardian of morality. The political dispensation is. 102. If a particular section of any pre constitutional law is such that it abrogates provisions of the Indian Constitution then that section shall be held invalid and if that section is necessary to the validity and working of the Act in question then the entire Act shall be void until legislation takes place or amendment is done. The Indian Contracts Act 1872 has a definition clause which is in contravention to the Indian constitution. The 1872 Act is valid so far as the other clauses are concerned. Doctrine of Eclipse shall apply and the Act shall be held void ab initio until suitable legislation comes
into force. Legislature may seek to expunge the particular section in question and thus the rest of the Act automatically applies. The Act is a preconstituion one is therefore invalid as it is in violation of provisions of the Indian Constitution. 103. The celebrated English case of Solomon v. Solomon & Co. Ltd.it held that a joint stock company is an entity in perpetuity with a common seal and in the eyes of the law, a juristic person. The major point was that a joint stock company was a separate legal entity and its owners had limited liability towards the company, upto the maximum of the unpaid amount of the face value of the shares held by these owners or member shareholders. Cloudmaker is a legal consultancy incorporated as a joint stock company of the private limited form under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. Saurav Datta an eminent legal academician is the majority shareholder with a 98 percent stake in the company. Cloudmaker ran into heavy losses and its creditors filed for their debts to be repaid. They sought for Saurav Dattas personal assets to be attached as he was the de facto owner of the company. SauravDatta is liable to pay the entire amount due to creditors as he was the owner and majority shareholder. SauravDatta has to pay 98 percent of the amount due and to this effect his personal property maybe attached. He is liable to pay the unpaid amount of the face value on the shares held by him as a majority shareholder as he is a natural personal with separate legal entity. The company has to file for winding up and the court may decide to attach the personal assets of SauravDatta who will have to the unpaid amount on the face value of 98 percent of the companys shares. 104. Professor Kumar, an expert in Family Law in India, states that Hindu Jurisprudence says that a Hindu may adopt two children of opposite sexes and they shall have full right as to the parents property. However if a legitimate child is born to that Hindu then that child only has full rights of succession and the adopted children lose their rights of inheritance in case of intestate succession. Actress S. Sen, a Hindu, adopts a male child and after five years adopts another child of the fair sex. She then gets married to another actor and they have a child. However this child was conceived before the marriage of the couple and this child was born before the solemnisation of their marriage as well. The adopted children still have full rights of inheritance equivalent to natural heirs. Adopted children lose their rights as a natural heir is now born. Adopted children still retain their rights as if the natural heir was not born. A bastard too has rights of inheritance. 105.
Principle: When five or more persons jointly commit robbery, they are said to have committed the offence of dacoity. Facts: Seven persons agreed to commit robbery in the house of Mr. Veer Singhal, a jeweller merchant. It was agreed that the robbery would be committed at midnight of 11th Feb 2011. On the agreed day at the agreed time, only four of them were present. They committed robbery without waiting for the arrival of the other two. The offence of dacoity has been committed. There are six persons involved though only four have committed robbery. The offence of dacoity was not committed as the robbery was committed only by four persons. There is conspiracy to commit the offence of Dacoity. The other two persons are deemed to have participated in the robbery. Hence the offence of dacoity was committed. 106.
SECTION IV - LOGICAL REASONING

A sociologist recently studied two sets of teenagers. The members of one set spent 10 or more hours per week watching violent television programs, and the members of the other set spent 2 hours or less per week watching violent television programs. A significantly greater proportion of the teenagers in the former group exhibited aggressive behavior during the period of the study. The sociologists reasoned that the prolonged exposure to television violence caused the aggressive behavior. Which of the following, if true, of the teenagers in the study, provides the strongest challenge to the sociologists conclusion? Some teenagers who watched more than 10 hours of violent television programming per week behaved less aggressively than others in the same group of teenagers. Some teenagers who watched 2 hours of violent television programming per week did not behave aggressively. Some teenagers voluntarily stopped watching violent television programs after being victims of violence. Some teenagers watched violent television programs alone, while others did so in groups. Many of the teenagers in the first group exhibited aggressive behavior before the study began. 107. Suitable habitats for gray wolves have greatly diminished in area. In spite of this fact, the most sensible course would be to refrain from reestablishing gray wolves in places where previously they have been hunted out of existence. Striving to bring back these animals to places where they will only face lethal human hostility is immoral. The argument above depends on: An appeal to an authority
A belief that gray wolves are dangerous to human beings and livestock An assumption that two events that occur together must be causally connected An assumption that the future will be like the past A threat of violence against those persons presenting the opposing view 108. People tend to estimate the likelihood of an events occurrence according to its salience; that is, according to how strongly and how often it comes to their attention. By placement and headlines, newspapers emphasize stories about local crime over stories about crime elsewhere and about many other major events. It can be concluded on the basis of the statements above that, if they are true, which of the following is most probably also true? The language used in newspaper headlines about local crime is inflammatory and fails to respect the rights of suspects. The coverage of international events in newspapers is neglected in favor of the coverage of local events. Readers of local news in newspapers tend to overestimate the amount of crime in their own localities relative to the amount of crime in other places. None of the events concerning other people that are reported in newspapers is so salient in peoples minds as their own personal experiences The press is the news medium that focuses peoples attention most strongly on local crimes. 109. All German philosphers, except for Marx, are idealists. From which of the following can the statement above be most properly inferred? Except for Marx, if someone is an idealist philosopher, then he or she is German. Marx is the only non-German philosopher who is an idealist. If a German is an idealist, then he or she is a philosopher, as long as he or she is not Marx. Marx is not an idealist German philosopher. Aside from the philosopher Marx, if someone is a German, then he or she is an idealist. 110.

Edward: No mode of human transportation has a better record of reliability: two accidents in twenty-five years. Thus manned spaceflight definitely has a positive future.Which of the following is the best logical evaluation of Edwards argument as a response to Teresas argument? It cites evidence that, if true, tends to disprove the evidence cited by Teresa in drawing her conclusion. It indicates a logical gap in the support that Teresa offers for her conclusion. It raises a consideration that outweighs the argument Teresa makes. It does not meet Teresas point because it assumes that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space, but this was the issue raised by Teresa. It fails to respond to Teresas argument because it does not address the fundamental issue of whether space activities should have priority over other claims on the national budget. 111. As one who has always believed that truth is our nations surest weapon in the propaganda war against our foes, I am distressed by reports of disinformation campaigns by American intelligence agents in Western Europe. In a disinformation campaign, untruths are disseminated through gullible local journalists in order to damage the interests of our enemies and protect our own. Those who defend this practice say that lying is necessary to counter Soviet disinformation campaigns aimed at damaging Americas political interests. These apologists contend that one must fight fire with fire. I would point out to the apologists that the fire department finds water more effective. The author of the passage above bases his conclusion on which of the following? A circular definition of disinformation An example of the ineffectiveness of lying as a weapon in the propaganda war An analogy between truth and water An appeal to the authority of the fire department. An attack on the character of American intelligence agents in Western Europe 112. Lying is necessary to counter Soviet disinformation campaigns and fire department finds water more effective clearly indicate the comparison between truth and water, or lying and fire. The authors main point is that Although disinformation campaigns may be effective, they are unacceptable on ethical grounds Americas moral standing in the world depends on its adherence to the truth The temporary political gains produced by disinformation campaigns generally give way to long-term losses
Page 38
Soviet disinformation campaigns have done little to damage Americas standing in Europe Disinformation campaigns do not effectively serve the political interests of the United States 113. Mayor: My initiative to clean up the city parks has clearly been a success. Anyone can walk through the parks today without seeing the rampant drug use and litter that characterized the parks before my tenure in office. Ridding our fair city of these types of behavior was one of my campaign promises, and I have delivered on that promise. Citizen: The parks may be cleaner than they were in the past, but the mayors initiative has only succeeded in moving these undesirable elements to other areas where they continue to frustrate the hard working citizens of this city. Which of the following is the key point at issue between the mayor and the citizen? The city parks have become cleaner since the mayor took office. Cleaner parks are more important than eradicating problems such as drug use and litter. Problems in the city such as drug use and litter still exist. The mayor has kept all of the promises that he made in his campaign. Drug use and litter are more serious problems in the city than are other undesirable types of behavior. 114. Key point at issue: basically where the mayor and the citizen dont see eye to eye. The citizens contention is the mayors initiative has only succeeded in moving these undesirable elements to other areas where they continue to frustrate the hard working citizens of this city. Time and again it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low faculty/student ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my children are ready to attend college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population. Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above? A low faculty/student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its source. Intelligence should be considered the result of childhood environment, not advanced education. A very small student population does not by itself, ensure a low faculty/student ratio. Parental desires and preferences rarely determines a child's choice of a college or university. Students must take advantage of the low faculty/student ratio by intentionally choosing small classes. 115. In Los Angeles, a political candidate who buys saturation radio advertising will get maximum name recognition.
The statement above logically conveys which of the following? Radio advertising is the most important factor in political campaigns in Los Angeles. Maximum name recognition in Los Angeles will help a candidate to win a higher percentage of votes cast in the city. Saturation radio advertising reaches every demographically distinct sector of the voting population of Los Angeles. For maximum name recognition a candidate need not spend on media channels other than radio advertising. A candidate's record of achievement in the Los Angeles area will do little to affect his or her name recognition there. 116. In a recent survey of hospitals in the state of Cedar, the Roseville hospital was rated lowest in quality of care. While most of the ratings for the Roseville hospital were as high or higher than those for the other Cedar hospitals, Roseville received the lowest rating for the amount of patient/staff interaction. The ratio of doctors to patients at the Roseville hospital is one of the lowest in the state. Thus, the fact that there are so few doctors per patient at Roseville is responsible for the low patient/staff interaction rating that it received. Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest support for the conclusion above? Roseville has the same number of hospital rooms as most of the other hospitals in the survey. The hospital that received the lowest rating for the amount of patient/staff interaction in Ross, the state bordering Cedar, also has a very low ratio of doctors to patients. Roseville hospital is renowned for its experimental medical programs, which have had very promising results, and it received the highest rating in Cedar for quality of experimental medicine. Roseville hospital has more nurses per patient than any other hospital in Cedar. Montpelier hospital, which is also located in Cedar, actually received a lower rating for amount of patient/staff interaction than Roseville hospital 117. The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got the cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole. Which of the following is an assumption made by the argument? The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved. The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.
The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them. Part of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it. Todays children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time. 118. Private ownership of services traditionally considered to be the responsibility of the government will typically improve those services. The turnpike system in the United States of the nineteenth century demonstrates the truth of this principle; the system, which had previously been controlled by the government, became a more reliable system when taken over by private organizations. Which of the following describes a significant flaw in the argument? The author defends the conclusion by appealing to a person of authority. The author distorts an opposing view in trying to show its weaknesses. The author attacks what the author perceives as a wrong action by pointing gout another perceived wrong action. The author generalizes from a sample not representative enough to establish the conclusion. The author attributes two very different meanings to the same word. 119. Statement: All events are things describable by science. All mental decisions are events. Conclusion: i) All mental decisions are things describable by science. ii) All things describable by science are mental events. Conclusion i follows Conclusion ii follows Both i and ii follow Neither i or ii follow. 120. Statement: Some coerced decisions are not free choices. Some desires are free choices. Conclusion: i) All free choices are not coerced decisions. ii) Some desires are coerced decisions. Conclusion i follows Conclusion ii follows
Page 41
Both i and ii follow Neither i or ii follow 121. Statement: All pine trees are coniferous All coniferous trees are beautiful. Conclusion: i) All pine trees are beautiful. ii) Some beautiful things are pine trees. Conclusion i follows Conclusion ii follows Both i and ii follow Neither i or ii follow 122. Statement: Some bananas are very green. What is very green should be left to ripen. Conclusion: i) All bananas should be left to ripen. ii) All ripened things are green. Conclusion i follows Conclusion ii follows Both i and ii follow Neither i or ii follow 123. Archaeologists seeking the location of a legendary siege and destruction of a city are excavating in several possible places, including middle and a lower layer of a large mound. The bottom of the middle layer contains some pieces of pottery of type 3, known to be from a later period than the time of the destruction of the city, but the lower layer does not. Which of the following hypotheses is best supported by the evidence above? The lower layer contains the remains of the city where the siege took place. The legend confuses stories from two different historical periods. The middle layer does not represent the period of the siege. The siege lasted for a long time before the city was destroyed 124.
Bernard Shaw wrote: That any sane nation, having observed that you could provide for the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary interest in baking for you, should go on to give a surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is enough to make one despair of political humanity. Shaws statement would best serve as an illustration in an argument criticizing which of the following? Dentists who perform unnecessary dental work in order to earn a profit Doctors who increase their profits by specializing only in diseases that affect a large percentage of the population Grocers who raise the price of food in order to increase their profit margins Oil companies that decrease the price of their oil in order to increase their market share Bakers and surgeons who earn a profit by supplying other peoples basic needs 125. The Supreme Court is no longer able to keep pace with the tremendous number of cases it agrees to decide. The Court schedules and hears 160 hours of oral argument each year, and 108 hours of next years term will be taken up by cases left over from this year. Certainly the Court cannot be asked to increase its already burdensome hours. The most reasonable long-range solution to this problem is to allow the Court to decide many cases without hearing oral argument; in this way the Court might eventually increase dramatically the number of cases it decides each year. Which of the following, if true, could best be used to argue against the feasibility of the solution suggested? The time the Court spends hearing oral argument is only a small part of the total time it spends deciding a case. The Court cannot legitimately avoid hearing oral argument in any case left over from last year. Most authorities agree that 160 hours of oral argument is the maximum number that the Court can handle per year. Even now the Court decides a small number of cases without hearing oral argument. 126.
