Q. 2.  Directions for question: Read the argument and answer
the question that follows.
  Psychologists believe that most people judge others just like they
would judge a book by its cover and in ninety percent of the cases
most people are wrong. In fact, while judging someone on the
basis of their looks or by first impression, most people fail to
realize that the other person could be nervous or hesitant to open
up. Most psychologists are of the view that adults are more afraid
of being rejected or disliked by others, especially housewives who   
have limited social interaction and are constantly judged by their
peers and in-laws.

following statements considerably strengthens the above

a.    Psychologists explain that when people meet someone for the
first time, they are more courteous and careful so as to not judge    
the other instantly.

basis of their looks because it is, after all, extremely important to
get others’ approval.
c.    Many times people are inclined towards judging others on the
basis of first impression or physical appearance because they are    
biased against people.
d.    Some people undermine physical appearance and believe that
   
good looks are highly overrated.
e.    Psychologists are of the view that personality tests should
also include questions based on physical appearance as it reflects    
a person’s attitude.
Correct Answer: b.    People believe that it is only natural to
judge someone on the basis of their looks because it is, after all,
extremely important to get others’ approval.
