Marked out of 1.00

Select one:
a. 2 : 1

b. None of these

c. Cannot be determined

d. 8 : 3
e. 3 : 2

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4
hrs. 
8 hrs and 48 minutes = 528 minutes 
4 hrs = 240 minutes 
then, 528/240 = 11/5 minutes 

we know that speed are different in down stream and upstream. 

if both are in opposite direction then 11+5/2 =8 
­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ same direction then 11­5/2 =3 ( here 2 is to take average ) 
therefore ratio is 8:3

Information
Directions  for  Questions  (18­25):  Read  the  following  passage  to  answer  the
questions that follows

Jeffrey brushed quickly past an elderly woman waiting on the platform ahead of him to
get  onto  the  subway.  He  wanted  to  be  sure  to  get  a  seat  to  read  his  New  Economics
Journal. As the train screeched out of the station, he lifted his head from the business
news and stared at the man directly across from him.

A  fierce  wave  ­  a  tsunami  ­  of  antipathy  came  over  him.  Jeffrey  knew  this  man,  knew
him all too well.

They had become bitter enemies. Their eyes locked. As the train reached full speed, the
cacophony  of  speeding  wheels  against  the  winding  rails  and  of  the  wildly  vibrating
subway  car  filled  Jeffrey's  ears.  To  this  frenetic  beat,  Jeffrey  listed  in  his  head  all  the
reasons  that  this  man,  whose  eyes  he  gravely  stared  into,  whose  image  seemed  to
appear nearly everywhere he went, had become anathema to him. He had climbed the
upper echelons of the Wall Street firm using an imperious manner with his subordinates:
issuing  directives;  ordaining  idiosyncratic  decrees;  generally  making  certain  everyone
knew  he  was  the  boss.  Despite  his  impoverished  upbringing,  he  had  become
ostentatious. Flush with cash from the lucrative deals he made on Wall Street, he had
purchased a yacht and a home in Versailles. He used neither. But, oh, how he liked to
say he had them. Meanwhile­­Jeffrey knew­­this man's father was on the verge of being
evicted from his decrepit tenement apartment in the South Bronx.  

What bothered Jeffrey most about this man was that he never even attempted to make
amends for his evil ways. Could this man change? Jeffrey did not know. But maybe, just
maybe, he could try. The train screeched to Jeffrey's stop at Battery Park. He gave the
man  one  last  hard  look.  "See  you  around,”  he  mumbled  to  himself.  And  he  knew  he
would  ­­  the  wrinkled  brow,  that  part  of  greying  hair,  those  cold  metallic  eyes  in  a
subway  window  reflection  ­­  were  his  own.  It  would  take  years  of  hard  work  and  self­
contemplation, but Jeffrey would once again encounter this man on the train, and marvel
at what a kinder person he had become.
Question 93 Which best describes Jeffrey's attitude in this passage?
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. self-pitying
b. unfortunate

c. self-aware

d. anxious

e. studied

Self-aware means aware of one's own emotions and behaviors. In the passage, Jeffrey
realizes that he has become someone he does not like. He thinks about how this has
happened. Near the end of the story, he thinks about changing. Then we learn that in
time Jeffrey becomes "a kinder person.” Since Jeffrey is thinking about what kind of
person he is and how he became that way, his attitude in the passage is self-aware.
Therefore (D) is correct.

Anxious means apprehensive or worried about a future matter. Jeffrey is not concerned
with a future matter, so his attitude is not anxious. Therefore (A) is incorrect.

Studied means well thought out or practiced. Jeffrey is thinking about his life, but his
thoughts do not appear to be practiced, so his attitude is not studied. Therefore (B) is
incorrect.

Unfortunate means unsuccessful or unlucky. Jeffrey may not like himself, but he has
been very successful. Therefore (C) is incorrect.

Self-pitying is feeling sorry for oneself. In this story, Jeffrey seems to truly dislike
himself, but he does not feel sorry for himself, so his attitude cannot be described as
self-pitying. Therefore (E) is incorrect.
The correct answer is: self-aware
Question 94 A fierce wave – a tsunami – of antipathy came over him. Given the imagery in this
Not answered sentence, which word would be the best substitute for came?

Marked out of 1.00

Select one:
a. angled

b. washed

c. rained

d. drizzled

e. trampled

A tsunami is an enormous wave. If something has washed over someone, it has flowed
over them. Since the action of a wave can be described as flowing, washed is a good
substitute for came in this sentence. Therefore (D) is correct.

Angled means bent at an angle or slanted. A giant wave does not approach at an
angle. Therefore (A) is incorrect.

Drizzled means slowly poured down in small amounts. Since a tsunami is huge and
moves over, not down, it is not slowly poured out. Therefore (B) is incorrect.

Something that rained down came down more quickly and forcefully than something
that drizzled, but it still came down, unlike a wave. Therefore (C) is incorrect.

Trampled means to have beaten something down by stepping on it. Waves do not have
feet to beat things down. Therefore (E) is incorrect.
The correct answer is: washed
Question 95 As used in paragraph 2, which word is the best antonym for antipathy?
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. desperation

b. happiness

c. ambivalence

d. infatuation

e. admiration

antipathy (noun): an intense feeling of dislike or disgust. In paragraph 2, Jeffrey

suddenly feels antipathy for a man who is his bitter enemy. Since the man Jeffrey feels
antipathy for his enemy, someone he absolutely hates, the reader can infer that
antipathy is a strong feeling of dislike. Admiration is a feeling of esteem, wonder and
respect. Since this is the opposite of intense dislike, admiration is a good antonym for
antipathy. Therefore (C) is correct.

Ambivalence is the coexistence of conflicting feelings. Conflicting feelings are not the
opposite of feelings of dislike, so ambivalence is not an antonym for antipathy.
Therefore (A) is incorrect.

Desperation is a feeling of near hopelessness. Feeling hopeless is not the opposite of

dislike, so desperation is not an antonym for antipathy. Therefore (B) is incorrect.

Infatuation is a feeling of exaggerated but short-lived passion. While feeling passionate

about someone is certainly different than disliking them, infatuation is always
temporary. Dislike can be permanent. This means that infatuation is not an antonym for
antipathy. Therefore (D) is incorrect.

Happiness is a feeling of joy. Dislike and joy are different, but not opposite, so
happiness is not an antonym for antipathy. Therefore (E) is incorrect.
The correct answer is: infatuation
Question 96 Using the story as a guide, it can be inferred that
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. Jeffrey rides the subway frequently
b. Jeffrey has had a difficult life

c. Jeffrey has few friends

d. Jeffrey likes to be the boss

e. Jeffrey is capable of change

Much of the story is about what a terrible person Jeffrey has become. However, we
learn at the end that he eventually changes into "a kinder person.” Since Jeffrey was
once a selfish person, and then became a kinder person, he has changed. One must
be capable of change in order to change, so we have evidence that Jeffrey is capable
of change. Therefore (D) is correct.

While the story does indicate that Jeffrey has become someone who doesn't like
himself, it does not give the reader any information about whether he has many friends.
Therefore (A) is incorrect.

In the middle of the passage, we learn that Jeffrey "had climbed the upper echelons of
the Wall Street firm using an imperious manner with his subordinates: issuing
directives; ordaining idiosyncratic decrees; generally making certain everyone knew he
was the boss.” This tells us that Jeffrey got to his current position by acting like the
boss, but tells us nothing about whether he liked being the boss. Therefore (B) is
incorrect.

In the middle of the story, we learn that Jeffrey had an "impoverished upbringing,” but
that does not necessarily tell us that his life was difficult. Since the only other
information we have about Jeffrey's life is that he is wealthy and powerful, the story
does not indicate that he has had a difficult life. Therefore (C) is incorrect.

In the beginning of the story, Jeffrey boards the subway. At the end of the story, we
learn that Jeffrey sees himself on the train once more years later. This information does
not allow the reader to determine how often he rides the subway. Therefore (E) is
incorrect.
The correct answer is: Jeffrey rides the subway frequently
Question 97 "As the train reached full speed, the cacophony of speeding wheels against the
Not answered winding rails and of the wildly vibrating train filled Jeffrey's ears."

Marked out of 1.00 Which literary technique is used in the above sentence (from paragraph 4)

Select one:
a. irony, characterized by a contrast or incongruity between what is stated and
what is meant
b. metaphor, a direct comparison between two things which does not use like or
as

c. analogy, an extended comparison showing the similarities between two things

d. imagery, characterized by appealing to a sense or combination of senses

e. personification, characterized by something being described as if it had human

qualities

Cacophony is the unpleasantness of a certain sound or sounds. The sentence appeals

to the reader's sense of hearing by describing in detail the components of the train that
work together to create a loud, unpleasant but distinctive noise. The sentence uses
imagery to create a sensory experience for the reader based on hearing. Therefore (C)
is correct.

There is no comparison between two things. Therefore (A) is incorrect. The sentence
does describe several things, but it does so to give the reader a sense of the sounds
they make, not to compare them to each other. Therefore (B) is incorrect. There is no
incongruity between what is stated and what is meant. Therefore (D) is incorrect. The
sentence does not describe any of the objects as if they were human. Therefore (E) is
incorrect.
The correct answer is: imagery, characterized by appealing to a sense or combination
of senses
Question 98 Which of the following best describes the main conflict in this passage?
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. man versus himself
b. man versus machine

c. man versus society

d. man versus man

e. man versus nature

In the story, Jeffrey sees himself and thinks about the person he has become. He
detests that person, and so detests himself. Near the end of the passage, he wonders,
"Could this man change? Jeffrey did not know. But maybe, just maybe, he could try.”
The reader can infer from this that Jeffrey is not sure if he can become the kind of
person he wants to be. As stated at the end of the passage, his change "would take
years of hard work and self-contemplation.”

What Jeffrey has to overcome here is his own selfishness. In order to change, Jeffrey
has to overcome himself, so the conflict in this passage is man versus himself.
Therefore (B) is correct.

The story does not provide information to support answer choices (A), (C),(D), and (E).
Therefore they are incorrect.
The correct answer is: man versus himself
Question 99 As used in paragraph 3, anathema is best defined as a(n):
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. embarassment
b. vision

c. problem
d. antagonist

e. curse

anathema (noun): a curse; a person or thing detested. In paragraph 4, Jeffrey lists the
reasons the man he saw across from him "had become anathema to him.” The story
goes on to describe the man's poor treatment of subordinates during his ascent in a
Wall Street firm and tells how the man spent money on things just to impress other
people. In paragraph 7, the passage states, "What bothered Jeffrey most about this
man was that he never even attempted to make amends for his evil ways.” The reader
can infer from this information that anathema is something terrible or detested--a
curse. Therefore (A) is correct.

A vision is an image produced by the imagination. In paragraph 4, the story does say
that the man's "image seemed to appear nearly everywhere [Jeffrey] went.” However,
the reasons the man was anathema to Jeffrey are listed in the next 3 paragraphs. The
man is not anathema to Jeffrey because he is a vision from Jeffrey's imagination.
Therefore (B) is incorrect.

Jeffrey detests the man he sees, but the man does not appear to be a source of
embarrassment to him. Therefore (C) is incorrect.

An antagonist is someone who directly opposes another person. Jeffrey hates the man,
but it is because of the life the man leads, not because the man directly opposes him,
so the man is not an antagonist. Therefore (D) is incorrect.

Again, though Jeffrey hates the man, the man does not do anything that makes the
man a problem for Jeffrey. Therefore (E) is incorrect.
The correct answer is: curse
Question 100 As used in paragraph 3, to have an imperious manner means to be:
Not answered
Select one:
Marked out of 1.00
a. simpering
b. unaffected

c. stoic

d. domineering

e. ignorant

imperious (adjective): overbearing, arrogant and domineering. In paragraph 5, the story

states, "He had climbed the upper echelons of the Wall Street firm using an imperious
manner with his subordinates: issuing directives; ordaining idiosyncratic decrees;
generally making certain everyone knew he was the boss.” This means that the man
gave orders, created peculiar rules and did whatever he could to let people know that
he was in charge. The reader can infer from this information that someone with an
imperious manner tends to order others around. Someone who orders others around is
domineering. Therefore (E) is correct.

Someone who is ignorant is unaware. The man was imperious because he ordered
others around, not because he was unaware. Therefore (A) is incorrect.

Someone who is stoic does not display emotion. The man ordered everyone around,
but we do not know if the man acted without emotion. Therefore (B) is incorrect.

Someone who is simpering smiles in a silly, selfconscious way. It is unlikely an arrogant

man giving orders with such authority would smile in a silly way. Therefore (C) is
incorrect.

Someone who is unaffected is genuine. The man's manner was overbearing, not
genuine.Therefore (D) is incorrect.
The correct answer is: domineering
