Passage – 1
Aesthetics in this central sense has been said to start in the early eighteenth century, with the series of
articles on “The Pleasures of the Imagination” which the journalist Joseph Addison wrote in the early issues
of the magazine The Spectator in 1712. Before this time, thoughts by notable figures made some forays
into this ground, for instance in the formulation of general theories of proportion and harmony, detailed most
specifically in architecture and music. But the full development of extended, philosophical reflection on

www.conceptsera.com
 Aesthetics did not begin to emerge until the widening of leisure activities in the eighteenth century. By far
the most thoroughgoing and influential of the early theorists was Immanuel Kant, towards the end of the
eighteenth century. Therefore it is important, first of all, to have some sense of how Kant approached the
subject. Kant is sometimes thought of as a formalist in art theory; that is to say, someone who thinks the
content of a work of art is not of aesthetic interest. But this is only part of the story. Certainly he was a
formalist about the pure enjoyment of nature, but for Kant most of the arts were impure, because they
involved a “concept.” Even the enjoyment of parts of nature was impure, namely when a concept was
involved— as when we admire the perfection of an animal body or a human torso. But our enjoyment of, for
instance, the arbitrary abstract patterns in some foliage, or a color field (as with wild poppies, or a sunset)
was, according to Kant, absent of such concepts; in such cases, the cognitive powers were in free play. By
design, art may sometimes obtain the appearance of this freedom: it was then “Fine Art”—but for Kant not
all art had this quality. In all, Kant’s theory of pure beauty had four aspects: its freedom from concepts, its
objectivity, the disinterest of the spectator, and its obligatoriness. By “concept,” Kant meant “end,” or
“purpose,” that is, what the cognitive powers of human understanding and imagination judge applies to an
object, such as with “it is a pebble,” to take an instance. But when no definite concept is involved, as with
the scattered pebbles on a beach, the cognitive powers are held to be in free play; and it is when this play
is harmonious that there is the experience of pure beauty. There is also objectivity and universality in the
judgment then, according to Kant, since the cognitive powers are common to all who can judge that the
individual objects are pebbles. These powers function alike whether they come to such a definite judgment
or are left suspended in free play, as when appreciating the pattern along the shoreline.

21. According to the information in the passage, each of the following is an accurate statement about
Kant’s theory of art EXCEPT:
(1) that the arts were impure.
(2) that the enjoyment of the arts was impure.
(3) that all art was not free from a purpose.
(4) that even abstract art was impure.
(5) that the enjoyment of art implied an absence of concepts.

22. Which one of the following statements about scattered pebbles is best supported by the information
in the passage?
(1) The pebbles involve a free play of cognition.
(2) The pebbles represent an aspect of true beauty.
(3) The pebbles best exemplify the appreciation of true beauty.
(4) The pebbles characterize one’s inner beauty.
(5) The pebbles represent a harmonious element of the sea.

23. Which one of the following is the primary purpose of the passage?
(1) To determine an argument.
(2) To attempt an explanation of an occurrence.
(3) To outline an assumption.
(4) To strengthen studies and various findings.
(5) To present diverse interpretations.

24. The author’s attitude as it is revealed in the language used is one of:
(1) Admiration. (2) Criticism (3) Exploratory.
(4) Descriptive. (5) Reasoning.

Passage – 2

Marxist literary theories tend to focus on the representation of class conflict as well as the reinforcement
of class distinctions through the medium of literature. Marxist theorists use traditional techniques of literary
analysis but subordinate aesthetic concerns to the final social and political meanings of literature. Marxist
theorists often champion authors sympathetic to the working classes and authors whose work challenges
economic equalities found in capitalist societies. In keeping with the totalizing spirit of Marxism, literary
theories arising from the Marxist paradigm have not only sought new ways of understanding the relationship
between economic production and literature, but all cultural production as well. Marxist analyses of society
and history have had a profound effect on literary theory and practical criticism, most notably in the
development of “New Historicism” and “Cultural Materialism.”

The Hungarian theorist Georg Lukacs contributed to an understanding of the relationship between historical
materialism and literary form, in particular with realism and the historical novel. Walter Benjamin broke new
ground in his work in his study of aesthetics and the reproduction of the work of art. The Frankfurt School
of philosophers, including most notably Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse—after
their emigration to the United States—played a key role in introducing Marxist assessments of culture into
the mainstream of American academic life. These thinkers became associated with what is known as
“Critical theory,” one of the constituent components of which was a critique of the instrumental use of
reason in advanced capitalist culture. “Critical theory” held to a distinction between the high cultural heritage
of Europe and the mass culture produced by capitalist societies as an instrument of domination. “Critical
theory” sees in the structure of mass cultural forms—jazz, Hollywood film, advertising—a replication of the
structure of the factory and the workplace. Creativity and cultural production in advanced capitalist societies
were always already co-opted by the entertainment needs of an economic system that requires sensory
stimulation and recognizable cliché and suppressed the tendency for sustained deliberation.

The major Marxist influences on literary theory since the Frankfurt School have been Raymond Williams
and Terry Eagleton in Great Britain and Frank Lentricchia and Fredric Jameson in the United States.
Williams is associated with the New Left political movement in Great Britain and the development of
“Cultural Materialism” and the Cultural Studies Movement, originating in the 1960s at Birmingham University’s
Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies. Eagleton is known both as a Marxist theorist and as a popularizer
of theory by means of his widely read overview, Literary Theory. Lentricchia likewise became influential
through his account of trends in theory, After the New Criticism. Jameson’s work on consumer culture,

NMAT MOCK - 2 MCET Page 5

www.conceptsera.com
 architecture, film, literature and other areas, typifies the collapse of disciplinary boundaries taking place in
the realm of Marxist and postmodern cultural theory. Jameson’s work investigates the way the structural
features of late capitalism—particularly the transformation of all culture into commodity form—are now
deeply embedded in all of our ways of communicating.

27. According to the passage, the use of literature by Marxists is limited to:
(1) establish techniques of literary analysis.
(2) the final social and political meaning of literature.
(3) the representation of class conflict.
(4) the reinforcement of class distinctions.
(5) championing the cause of the working classes.

28. Which one of the following statements about the spirit of Marxism is best supported by the information
in the passage?
(1) The social and political meanings of literature are central to the Marxist theories of class divisions.
(2) Authors challenging economic equalities in capitalist societies are keeping with Marxism.
(3) The working class is encouraged to focus on class differences and accept challenges.
(4) Literary theories stemming from Marxism comprehend the economics of literature and culture in
new ways.
(5) Marxist scrutiny of society and history has had a deep outcome on literary theory.

29. The phrase “broke new ground’ in the passage means:

(1) An agreed basis for identifying issues in an argument.
(2) To get something started.
(3) To run into exhaustion or excess.
(4) To do something that has not been done before.
(5) To be totally suitable or appropriate for someone.

30. According to the passage, the organization of mass cultural forms imitates the workplace because:
(1) it has sensory stimulation and suppressed sustained deliberation.
(2) it helps spread the capitalist culture.
(3) it helps motivate the working class.
(4) it was the best form of work culture simulation.
(5) it created a format which helped the workers improve their performance.

31. The passage principally intends to:

(1) examine the literary influence on Marxism.
(2) scrutinize the parallels in literature and capitalism.
(3) establish the influence of Marxism on literature.
(4) frame guidelines for literature.
(5) de-link literature from Marxism.

32. According to the author, postmodern cultural theory, is:

(1) a positive outcome of Marxism.
(2) an offshoot of literary theories.
(3) a part of our system.
(4) no longer seen in isolation.
(5) has an integral role in our lives.

As we make our way through each busy, hectic day of responsibilities and activities, we spend much of
our time rehashing what has happened in the past, or fantasizing about what might happen in the future.
Although we may think that we’re living life as it happens and we understand what real living is, those
thoughts could be farther from the truth. Our physical senses tell us what is happening in the world
around us, but the input we gather from them is not precise and prompt enough. Our perceptions are
filtered through ears that cannot hear a pin drop, eyes that cannot see as keenly as a telescope, noses
that aren’t even as sharply attuned as a dog, and touch that is less sensitive than a lizard’s skin.
Although you may think that your senses are telling you what is happening throughout the day, senses
do not work in real time. For example, when you read something written on a page, you are not reading
it at exactly the same time as you are seeing it. Light has to hit the page so you can see the words; the
light has to return through the lens of your eyeball back to the retina; that energy has to be transferred
to your optic nerve; then the image has to be delivered to your brain to be analyzed.

116. Human beings live life as it happens and know the value of real living.

117. Fantasizing about the future will not help a person in being more aware and well-informed.

118. A lizard’s skin is more sensitive than a human touch.

119. Past occurences have a tremendous influence in carving a person’s future.

120. Human senses can be deceptive because they do not work in real time.

 1. 4 “Axiom” means a universally accepted principle or
rule. Hence, its synonym would be “principle”.
2. 3 “Denigrate” means to criticize in a derogatory manner.
Hence, “belittle” which means to speak of as
contemptibly small or unimportant is its synonym.
3. 5 “Implacable” means not to be appeased or pacified.
Hence, its synonym would be “merciless”.
4. 4 “Maelstrom” means a disordered or tumultuous state
of affairs. Hence, “pandemonium” is its synonym.
5. 2 “Betroth” means to promise to marry. Hence, “commit”
which means to pledge or assure is its synonym.
6. 4 There is direct CD link because D elaborates on the
point stated in C. Similarly, B must follow A because
“this” in B refers to the point stated in A.
7.4 As sentence D introduces 'a new study on cigarettes',
it is obvious that D is the opening statement. B follows
D as it mentions the view of the research team on ' the
study'. A follows the discussion. AC is a mandatory
pair as 'these organisms' in C are 'the wide variety of
human bacterial pathogens' discussed in A. Thus, the
logical sequence is DBAC.
8. 3 CA is a mandatory pair, C begins to explain how our
eyes and brain are related in creating a single three-
dimensional image. A mentions that this three-
dimensional image gives us depth perception. D
presents a situation where a child (with a squint)
does not have this normal vision and the process of
creating the three-dimensional image gets disturbed.
B concludes the discussion by stating the result of
this abnormal alignment of eyes.
9. 3 The key to this question lies in identifying the mandatory
pairs: AC and DB. A introduces the necessity of a
unique (internet) address for each computer
connected to the Internet, C specifies the form and
definition of the IP address. D follows the flow of
information on this. B follows D, as we see usage of
‘however’ in the beginning of sentence B presenting a
contrast- an obvious difference between the two
ways to connect, described in D and B. Thus, ACDB is
the logical sequence.
10. 1 B introduces the subject - state of glaciers in the
Himalayas. D adds on by presenting the panel’s
observation, ‘them’ in D denotes ‘Himalayan glaciers’
mentioned in B. C mentions the possible consequences
in the short term, and A mentions the possible
consequences in the long term. Thus the logical
sequence is BDCA.
Page 2
www.conceptsera.com
11. 4 There is error of comparison in the given sentence
because we cannot compare “view” with the “guest
house”. Hence , the correct usage would be “than
that from the guest house”.
12. 2 “Both-and” are correlative conjunctions. Hence, after
“both” the conjunction “and” should be used.
13. 1 When two actions occur in the past, the earlier action
is indicated by the past perfect tense. Hence, the
correct usage would be “had given her papers”.
14. 3 There is pronoun consistency error in the sentence. If
the sentence begins with the pronoun “one”, then it
should be followed by “oneself” and not “himself”.
15. 3 There is error of parallelism in the sentence. “Reading”,
“writing” must be followed by “participating”.
16. 4 Options (1), (2),(3) and (5) are out of context.
‘Undisguised’ means unconcealed or revealed,
whether the symptoms are/ become masked or
revealed, it does not make the treatment/medication
unessential. ‘Incomparable’ means matchless, and ‘
intemperate’ is used to describe a person (given to
excessive use of intoxicating liquors) or their
behaviour or speech, not controlled and too extreme
or violent. Option (5) – ‘misleading’ is also not suitable
for the given sentence. Only Option (4) -’unpleasant’
matches with the tone and sense of the sentence.
17. 4 To ‘build upon’ is to use a success or achievement as
a base from which to achieve more success. Sherman
used the phenomenal success of previous editions
as a base to develop and update the new edition.
Except option (4) all the other options are out of place.
18. 3 The appropriate word needed here is – ‘baton’ which
means a hollow cylinder carried by each member of a
relay team and passed to the succeeding runner.
19. 2 The blank calls for a word that has a positive
connotation. We read that after the transplant, Bruce
is now safe. ‘Recuperating’ is the correct word as it is
specific to the sentence; to ‘recuperate’ is to regain a
former state or condition; especially : to recover health
or strength.
20. 1 The question hints at two contrasting characteristics
of beavers. The word ‘despite’ suggests a word which
has negative connotations as the later information
given about beavers, disregards the earlier one. Also
the word ‘re-introduced’ suggests of beavers being a
part of the British countryside until they were found
unfavourable (as in the first sentence, we read
‘beavers are considered notorious’). Option (2)- ‘
ignominy’ which means public embarrassment; deep
personal humiliation, is out of context. Option (3) and
(5)- ‘innocence’ and “righteousness” contradict the
MCET NMAT MOCK - 2
Test Prep
 tone of the sentence. Option (4) is incorrect, as
‘wickedness’ of beavers is nowhere hinted in the given
sentence. Option (1)- ‘notoriety’ which means the state
of being known for something bad or notorious; ill-
fame, suits the blank appropriately.
21. 4 The passage traces the definition of pure art as per
Kant’s theory. (1) is not correct because Kant actually
believed in it. (2) is also attributed to Kant in the
passage. (3) and (5) are also a part of his theory. (4)
is the correct answer because according to Kant it
involved free play and was thus pure.
22. 3 According to the passage, Kant equates appreciation
of beauty with scattered pebbles, unfettered and at
the same time harmonious, making (3) the correct
answer. All the other options vest the pebbles with
some quality which makes them incorrect. (1) vests it
with free play, (2) as representing beauty, (4) inner
beauty and (5) a harmonious element.
23. 1 The passage marks the advent and spread of
Aesthetics and presents Kant’s views on pure
enjoyment of nature and why he thought arts to be
impure. The passage traces Kant’s argument for
appreciation of pure beauty, this being the main line of
thought hence it makes (1) correct. (2) is incorrect as
there is no occurrence of any sorts, so is C, as there
is no conjecture. (4) and (5) are on the same lines and
are incorrect as the passage concentrates on Kant’s
line of thought only.
24. 5 The author employs reasoning to define Kant’s line of
thought for us. (1) is incorrect as the tone is quite
objective, (2) is incorrect as there is no maligning and
(3) is incorrect as the passage seeks to merely inform,
(4) is also incorrect as there is a degree of logic
employed to convey the full essence of Kant’s thought
process, making (5) the correct answer choice.
25. 3 The passage is quite clearly about Kant’s theory of
pure beauty; the passage gradually veers towards
this. All the other options are incorrect as in (1) we talk
about search of beauty which is not correct, (2) is
incorrect because it is more of pure beauty, (4) is
again incorrect because it’s an aspect being discussed
and (5) is not discussed at all.
26. 2 ‘Cognition’ quite literally means to obtain knowledge
through experience and senses and in the last
paragraph it is used for the experience with the pebbles
making option (2) correct. (1) is only partial and the
passage does not talk about awareness through
knowledge, (3) is also not referred to making it incorrect.
(4) and (5) are also discussing something which is
not mentioned in the passage and are thus incorrect.
NMAT MOCK - 2
www.conceptsera.com
27. 1 The passage discusses the limit of the use of literature
by the Marxists, making option (1) correct. Option (2)
is incorrect because it is contradictory to the theory,
(3), (4) and (5) represent some causes that are close
to the Marxists.
28. 4 The lines “In keeping with the totalizing spirit of

correct. (1) talks about the themes of literature, (2)
also discusses the aspect, (3) is not mentioned in this
context, (5) is also not mentioned in this context.
29. 4 The correct answer choice is (4), it means “To do
something that has not been done before”, and in the
context of the passage it is most relevant, (1) is
incorrect as it actually means common ground, (2) is
incorrect, the phrase for this is to ‘get something off
the ground’, (3) stands for ‘into the ground’ and (5)
actually is a phrase that says to ‘suit someone down
to the ground’.
30. 1 The passage talks about the repression by the
capitalists and mass cultural forms like jazz, films etc.
which served as the tools, this was possible because
it had a sensory quality which suppressed reflection
and (1) puts this across. (2), (4) & (5) are false and
nowhere stated in the passage and hence are
incorrect.
31. 3 The passage is mainly concerned with establishing
Marxist influence on literature. The last paragraph
reiterates the major Marxist influences on literary theory
making (3) correct. (1) states the opposite and hence
is incorrect, (2) is also not stated in the passage, (4) is
also redundant and (5) is false.
32. 3 (1) and (2) are not stated in the passage, (3) is the
best answer as is supported by the last paragraph of
the passage. The boundaries dividing Marxism and
capitalism are broken and are part of the mainstream
Thus, (3) is the best answer. (4) is weak and (5) is
very vehement.
33. 3 L.C.M of 3, 4, 5 and 6 = 60
The smallest 3-digit number which when divided by 3,
4, 5 and 6 leaves the remainder 2, 3, 4 and 5
= (60)(2) – 1 = 119
Hence, option (3) is the correct choice.
34. 4 We can write bbb = b × 37 × 3
Now b= 2 since 2 is the smallest prime number
Now, number of odd factor = 2 × 2 = 4
Hence, option (4) is the correct choice.
35. 5 The remainders when 445,460, 475 and 490 are
divided by 33 are 16, 31,13 and 28.
The net product of the remainders = 16 × 31 × 13 × 28
= 16 × (– 2) × 13 × (– 5) = 2080
The number 2080 when divided by 33 leaves the
remainder 1.
Hence, option (5) is the correct choice.
