Mini Mock Test : Syndicate Bank & Canara Bank PO 19.01.2018 for PO, Clerk, SO, Insurance Exams

Question 1

Direction: Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.

Nowhere is such a perceived lack greater, perhaps, than in the realm of human rights. Post-colonial states are routinely critiqued by Western governments and human rights NGOs for their failure to uphold what are declared to be universal values. Such critiques are often spurred by, and help to reinforce, underlying assumptions about the incivility of racial “others”. This is not to say that such critiques should not be made. Nor that human rights abuses or attempts to deny them should not be challenged and fought vociferously against. But there is something disconcerting about the Western move to denounce the human rights records of post-colonial states. After all, similar assertions about the purported lack of civility of non-Western peoples were central to the justifications made by European colonial states for their conquest and colonisation of vast swathes of the planet.

Question 2

Direction: Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.

Have you ever noticed how opportunities seem to drift your way at certain times like big waves that suddenly wash ashore? If you were a surfer, you might wait all day to find the right wave to ride -- that incredibly big one with all of the power behind it. You would watch the tide and wait for the right timing. You would notice the regular wave action, but then observe how every so often a really huge wave would come along. That's the opportunity you seek. You get ready for that big wave and then hop onboard for a big ride when it does finally come your way. Watching for the right wave and getting onboard on time is the trick to the surfer's success.

Question 3

Direction: Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.

Kids can be creatures of habit. Much like how they can watch the same movie over and over, some kids will stick to one author or genre of book that they’ve fallen in love with. But does it matter if they're always reading the same type of book? After all, isn't their love of reading in itself, enough? Reading builds their imagination, develops their critical thinking skills, and improves their communication skills, amongst many other benefits. Well, while a love of reading of any sort is to be nurtured, when a child only reads the same author or type of book, their growth and the benefits they gain may not be as broad if they were to explore more types of books. Coaxing them to open up to reading other genres can be a big advantage for them in the long term.

Question 4

Direction: Read the given passage carefully. Choose the most appropriate option from the given alternatives which expresses the summary of the passage.

Consumer awareness is important because it increases a current or potential customer's knowledge about a product or service, allowing her to make a more informed purchase. Increasing consumer awareness also allows business owners to share background information about their organizations, their values and their practices. Business owners increase consumer awareness by employing a wide range of marketing techniques designed to provide consumers with as much positive information about their company as possible. If an organization consistently produces high-quality products, has high safety standards and provides top-notch customer service, it benefits it to make the public aware of these values through commercials, billboards or social media campaigns. When a company associates itself with specific positive values, customers feel more confident making purchases.

Question 5

Direction: Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.

As another academic year got under way at Imperial College London, a senior professor was bemused at the absence of one of her students. He had worked in her lab for three years and had one more left to complete his studies. But he had stopped coming in. Eventually, the professor called him. He had left for a six-figure salary at Apple. It is not an isolated event. According to a Guardian survey of Britain’s top ranking research universities, tech firms are hiring AI experts at a prodigious rate, fuelling a brain drain that has already hit research and teaching.
