54. In the 1966 Supreme Court decision Miranda v. Arizona, the court held that before
the police can obtain statements from a person subjected to an interrogation, the person
must be given a Miranda warning. This warning means that a person must be told that
he or she has the right to remain silent during the police interrogation. Violation of this
right means that any statement that the person makes is not admissible in a court
hearing. This paragraph best supports the statement that
A. police who do not warn persons of their Miranda rights are guilty of a crime.
B. a Miranda warning must be given before a police interrogation can begin.
C. the police may no longer interrogate persons suspected of a crime unless a lawyer is
present.
D. the 1966 Supreme Court decision in Miranda should be reversed.
Answer: Option B

Solution:
This answer is clearly supported in the second sentence. Nothing in the paragraph
suggests that it is a crime not to give a Miranda warning, so choice a is incorrect. Choice
c is also wrong because police may interrogate as long as a warning is given. There is no
support given for either choice d or e.
55. The world famous Edward Museum in city ‘X’ has introduced the system of pass code
for its visitors. The pass codes are generated by machine and automatically change after
every one hour during the visiting hours 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The illustration of pass codes
generated batch wise is given below:
Pass code for batch I starting at 11 a.m. things keep dust you all away from never.
Pass code for batch II starting at 12 noon. all dust things you away from never keep.
Pass code for batch III starting at 1 p.m. away things all your from never keep dust.
Pass code for batch IV starting at 2 p.m. from all away your never keep dust things. and
so on up to the last batch starting at 6 p.m.
Mr ‘X’ visited the museum at 1 p.m., but was wrongly issued the pass code for 4 p.m.
batch which was “left is the hand right to his way”. What is the correct pass code that
should have been issued to Mr ‘X’?
A. Way to hand his is the left right
B. Way to his hand is the left right
C. Way to his hand the is left right
D. Way to his hand is the right left
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Here the rule followed is:
In each step the fifth, third and first words become the first, second and third
respectively. Fourth word remains at its previous position. Sixth, seventh and eighth
words shift one position leftward and the second word becomes the last, i.e., eighth. For
the sake of convenience if we assign numeric value to those words, viz. things-1, keep-2,
dust-3, your-4, all-5, away-6, from-7 & never-8, the movement will be as follows:
Batch I(11 a.m. – 12 noon): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Batch II(12 noon – 1 p.m.): 5 3 1 4 6 7 8 2
Batch III(1 p.m. – 2 p.m.): 6 1 5 4 7 8 2 3
Batch IV(2 p.m. – 3 p.m.): 7 5 6 4 8 2 3 1
Batch V(3 p.m. – 4 p.m.): 8 6 7 4 2 3 1 5
Batch VI(4 p.m. – 5 p.m.): 2 7 8 4 3 1 5 6
Batch VII(5 p.m. – 6 p.m.): 3 8 2 4 1 5 6 7
Batch VIII(6 p.m. – 7 p.m.): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

58. Nurse Kemp has worked more night shifts in a row than Nurse Rogers, who has
worked five. Nurse Miller has worked fifteen night shifts in a row, more than Nurses
Kemp and Rogers combined. Nurse Calvin has worked eight night shifts in a row, less
than Nurse Kemp. How many night shifts in a row has Nurse Kemp worked?
A. eight
B. nine
C. ten
D. eleven
Answer: Option B

has worked nine shifts in a row (5 + 9 = 14).
