Q No. 5-7. Each question is a logical sequence of statements with a missing link,the location

of which is shown parenthetically [(....)]. From the five options available,choose the one that

best fits into the sequence.

5. But not everyone played along. Though the recent financial meltdown has shifted these

numbers a bit,Americans overwhelmingly identify up the economic ladder. In 2004,a full

20% thought they actually were among the richest 1% of income earners,while a further

19% thought they one day would be. When nearly 40% of Americans are identifying with

the richest 1%,it makes it harder to paint the wealthy as others. While we were trying our

damnedest to say "The rich are not like us," much of our target audience was saying

[.].

A) 'We have always been that way.

B) "Lets get back to the good old days."

C) "I am,what I think I am."

D) "The rich are us,or soon will be."

6. [.]. You're more likely to talk to your buddies about your herpes sores than to

share salary figures. In the public sphere,there's the great shame of America: how can such

poverty live amidst such wealth? And the (literally) billion dollar question that no one

wants to go near: do the wealthy have too much and don't know what to do about it? And

for all of us,there's the ever-repressed knowledge that money is a pure abstraction,a

consensual hallucination hiding a profoundly arbitrary system of value -- and don't be the

one to wake us up,because this teetering house of cards will all fall down. For all these

reasons,great and small,our culture is uncomfortable talking honestly about money.

A) Talking about the great social divide would be the last option.

B) Discussing your package can be vulnerable to image.

C) In some ways,money is the last taboo.

D) In spite of an open society,we have some reservations.

A) Bittu attended the millennium party at the Carribean islands.

Bittu attended the millennium party at the Carribean islands.

B) Bittu attended the millennium party at the Caribbean islands.

C) Bittu attended the millenium party at the Carribean islands.

D) Bittu attended the millennium party at the Carribean islands.

7. In honor of Whitefish Bay,I propose a new iron law of economics very different from

the one I learned in graduate school. It goes something like this: When we allow surplus

capital to pile up in the hands of the few,the money will be pumped into a fantasy finance

casino that will ultimately crash the economy. [.]: When that casino goes bust,we

pay yet again -- in lost jobs and pensions-and in tax dollars to bail out the biggest financial

institutions that crashed the system in the first place.

A) And here's the unfortunate logic.

B) And here's the unfortunate hypothesis.

C) And heres the unfortunate formula.

D) And here's the unfortunate corollary.

Q No. 8-13

The Battle of Hastings was the first major Norman victory in the Norman conquest of

England in 1066 A.D. On September 28, 1066, William of Normandy, bent on asserting by

arms his right to the English crown, landed unopposed at Pevensey. On hearing the news, the

Saxon King Harold, who had just destroyed the Norwegian Viking army under King Harold

Hardrde at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire, hurried southward, gathering what

forces he could on the way. He took up his position, athwart the road from Hastings to

London, on Senlac Hill some six miles inland from Hastings, with his back to the great forest

of Anderida (the Weald) and in front of him a long glacis-like slope, at the bottom of which

began the opposing slope of Telham Hill. Thetown called Battle in the modern county of East

Sussex was named to commemorate this event. The English army was composed almost

entirely of infantry, and had just been through two forced marches and a battle.

The shire levies, for the most part destitute of body armour and with miscellaneous and even

improvised weapons, were arranged on either flank of Harolds guards (huscarles), picked

men armed principally with the Danish axe and shield. Before this position Duke William

appeared on the morning of October 14. His host, composednot only of his Norman vassals

but of barons, knights and adventurers from all quarters, was arranged in a centre and two

wings, each corps having its archers and arbiasters in the front line, the rest of the infantry in

the second and the heavy armoured cavalry in the third. Neither the arrows nor the charge of

the second line of footmen, who, unlike the English, wore defensive mail, made any

impression on the English standing in a serried mass behind their interlocked shields. Then

the heavy cavalry came on, led by the duke and his brother Odo, and encouraged by the

example of the minstrel Taillefer, who rode forward, tossing and catching his sword, into the

midst of the English line before he was pulled down and killed. All along the front the

cavalry came to close quarters with the defenders, but the long powerful Danish axes were as

formidable as the halbert and the bill proved to be in battles of later centuries, and they

lopped off the arms of the assailants and cut down their horses.

The fire of the attack died out and the left wing (Bretons) fled in rout. But as the levies broke

out of the line and pursued the Bretons down the hill in a wild, formless mob, Williams

cavalry swung round and destroyed them, and this suggested to the duke to repeat

deliberately what the Bretons had done from fear. Another advance, followed by a feignedretreat, drew down a second large body of the English from the crest, and these in turn, once

in the open, were ridden over and slaughtered by the men-at-arms. Lastly, these two disasters

having weakened the defenders both materially and morally, William subjected the huscarles,

who had stood fast when the fyrd broke its ranks, to a constant rain of arrows, varied from

time to time by cavalry charges. The huscarles endured the trial for many hours, from noon

till close on nightfall; but at last, when the Norman archers raised their bows so as to pitch the

arrows at a steep angle of descent in the midst of the huscarles, the strain became too great.

While some rushed forward alone or in twos and threes to die in the midst of the enemy, the

remainder stood fast, too closely crowded almost for the wounded to drop.

At last Harold received a mortal wound, supposedly pierced through the eye by an arrow. The

English began to waver, and the knights forced their way in. Only a remnant of the defenders

made its way back to the forest; and William, after resting for a night on the hardly-won

ground, began the work of the Norman Conquest.

Battle Abbey was built at the site of the battle, and a plaque marks the place where Harold

fell.
