Questions 11 to 15: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
Here's a simple question - answer it honestly: How many hours did you spend reading books last
week?
This question has arrived in thousands of U.S. homes every other year since 1992 as part of the
University of Michigan's Health and Retirement Study (HRS). In 2016, when researchers at the Yale
School of Public Health dug into 12 years of HRS data, a hopeful pattern emerged: People who read
books-fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose-for as little as 30 minutes a day over several years were
living an average of two years longer than people who didn't read anything at all.
Research suggests that reading is beneficial not only for the elderly, but also for children and adults.
When practiced over a lifetime, reading and language-acquisition skills can support healthy brain
functioning in big ways. Simply put: Word power increases brain power.
But what is it about reading books in particular that boosts our brain power whereas reading
newspapers and magazines doesn't? For one, the researchers posit, chapter books encourage "deep
reading.” Unlike, say, skimming a page of headlines, reading a book of any genre forces your brain
to think critically and make connections from one chapter to another, and to the outside world. Over
time, the forging of new neural networks promotes quicker thinking and may provide a greater
defense against the worst effects of cognitive decay. Secondly, reading books, especially fiction, has
been shown to increase empathy and emotional intelligence. Developing social tools such as
empathy and emotional intelligence can lead to more positive human interaction, which in turn can
lower stress levels. Both of these enhance life expectancy.
That's not to say that magazines, newspapers, and Web articles are without merit. Reading anything
that fills your mind and exposes you to new words, phrases, and facts seems to carry mental benefits.
New research indicates that a large vocabulary may lead to a more resilient mind by fueling what
scientists call cognitive reserve. One way to think about this reserve is as your brain's ability to adapt
to damage. Just as your blood cells will clot to cover a cut on your knew, cognitive reserve helps
your brain cells find new mental pathways around areas damaged by stroke, dementia, and other
forms of decay. It's their cognitive reserve, researchers suspect, that may allow some seniors to
seamlessly compensate for hidden brain damage.
So how does one build up cognitive reserve? That's more good news for word lovers. Vocabulary is
notoriously resistant to aging, and having a rich one, according to researchers, can significantly delay
the manifestation of mental decline. As science reminds us, it pays to increase your word power-
today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.
11. What can we infer about the meaning of the term 'emotional intelligence from the above excerpt?
a. Ability to better understand and respond to the emotions of others
b. Ability to handle crisis situations better
c. Ability to think in a more intelligent and constructive manner
d. Ability to form better connections between one's internal and external world
e. ability to concentrate more on reading material
12. 'Deep reading' is beneficial because:
a. It involves content that is more critical in nature
b. It covers more diverse topics than other forms of reading
c. It requires more time commitment form the reader
d. It stimulates the reader to relate the contents to broader experiences in the outside world
e. All of the above
13. Which of the following has not been implied by the above excerpt?
a. Reading is more beneficial for the elderly than for adults and children
b. One must devote long hours to reading to reap the desired benefits
c. Reading fiction encourages better brain development than reading non-fiction
d. The impact of reading is related to the duration of one's life and not necessarily to its quality
e. All of the above
14. All of the following statements about vocabulary can be inferred from the above excerpt, except:
a. Vocabulary is less affected by ageing than other forms of learning
b. Vocabulary can act as the brain's shield against mental decay
c. Vocabulary cannot be enhanced by reading magazines, newspapers, etc.

d. A stronger vocabulary can promote stronger brain function
e. None of the above
15. Having a cognitive reserve is helpful to the elderly because:
a. It creates new mental pathways, thus allowing them to think quickly
b. It creates new mental pathways, thus allowing them to cover up for lost material
c. It helps them form better social relationships
d. It gives them a richer vocabulary which helps in interacting with others

Questions 22-25:
Instruction: Answer the Questions based on the following passage.
We routinely make sense of the world using types- broad categories of things with common
characteristics. This allows us to categorize things in a meaningful way, and in turn draw conclusions
and extrapolate information about something based on previous experience of things of the same, or
similar, type. This is commonly done with people and is not, by definition, negative. For example,
we assign certain traits to roles such as parent, businessperson, pensioner and so on. Stereotypes on
the other hand, while classifying people in a similar manner, reduce the person to those simplified
and exaggerated characteristics, admit no possibility of change, and insist that these characteristics re
natural. Any complexity is ignored and denied, and it is implied that everything that is necessary to
know about the person can be known by referring to the traits of the stereotype. In essence, a
stereotype declares “this is what you are, and this is all you are”.
Stereotyping also deploys a strategy of splitting- where those who do not fit society’s norms are
excluded, deeming them to be the ‘Other’. This denies the possibility of any meaningful discourse
about them or with them, and ensures their continued exclusion. Stereotypes lead to social
categorization, which is one of the reasons for prejudice attitudes (i.e. “them” and “us” mentality)
which leads to in-groups and out-groups. This proves most effective when gross inequalities of
power allow the dominant group to employ the strategy without challenge.
Is stereotyping harmful in the workplace? Quite simply, the answer is “Yes.” What happens when
you make stereotypical assumptions about people is that you subconsciously start to look for things
to confirm your beliefs and overtime you might pick up on one or two isolated incidents that cause
you to justify or confirm your assumptions. If teamwork and collaboration are necessary for a
company’s success, stereotyping is a major problem. Employees who act based on stereotypes rather
than putting fair in the abilities and effort of coworkers impede group progress. It can prevent an
employee from asking for support or offering it to a particular employee. A man may not ask a
woman in his team for help, for instance, if he believes that she isn’t capable of understanding the
task and concepts because she’s female. Again, if married workers in a group believe in the
stereotype that their colleagues who are single have no outside responsibilities, the latter may be
expected to do the lion’s share of the work, leading to perceptions of inequity.
22.Based on the passage, stereotyping essentially involves:

A. Determining what roles should be played by different individuals in society
B. Attempts at belittling an individual or group
C. Using only a handful of attributes to form one’s entire impression of an individual or group.
D. Deploying power over a minority individual or group
E. All of the above
23.Which of the following is not an example of stereotyping?
A. Employing graduates from only a specific business school based on the belief that they are all
high performers
B. Ruling out a female employee’s eligibility for promotion after seeing her dissatisfactory
performance records
C. Assigning only routine work to older employees since they are not familiar with changes taking
place in the business environment
D. Ridiculing a male nurse for his unusual career choice
E. None of the above
24.All of the following statements explain why stereotypes lead to “splitting” except:
A. They form complex views about individuals which may not be true
B. Only certain characteristics are deemed to be appropriate for certain categories of people
C. Individuals who display incompatibility with norms are considered to be non-conformists
D. Belonging to the in-group may depend on compatibility with norms
E. None of the above
25.Stereotyping can harm workplace productivity by:
A. Causing an individual to form judgments about another based on criteria unrelated to performance
B. promoting unfair work distribution
C. reducing the spirit of collaboration and teamwork
D. making it more difficult for people from different races, genders, religious groups etc. to work
together

Questions 27 to 30: Reading Paragraph
Instructions: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions
Demographic dividend is the surge in economic growth that may result from a decline in a country's
mortality and fertility and the subsequent change in the age structure of the population. This decline
is often accompanied by an increase average life expectancy, which increases the size of the
working-age population words. it is a boost in economic productivity that occurs when there are
people in the workforce relative to the number of dependents.
Bangladesh has experienced a dramatic decline in fertility and mortality during the last. four decades.
During the same period, life expectancy at birth has increased, thereby producing a huge shift in age
structure of the population. Dependents per 100 working population declined from over 100 in 1961
to 60 in 2010. This has created a window of economic opportunity that can be expressed as
demographic dividend of Bangladesh. Demographic dividend helps to provide an opportunity to
improve living. standards through increased capital formulation, savings and investment, female
participation in labor force, improved quality of labor force and increased demand of goods and
services., But the opportunity and the reality are not synonymous. For translating this opportunity
into reality, the benefits of 'demographic dividend' must not be understood only in terms of
additional number-of jobs created. Creation of higher productivity jobs, intermediation of savings of
the existing working age population for investment in infrastructures and institutions, creation of
greater opportunities for female labor force etc. matter here.
It is also important to take into cognizance that this dividend will not last for long as the experience
of other countries has shown. The current bulge in the country's working age population will
eventually transform into a bulge in the elderly population within the next one decade or so and an
ageing population scenario will emerge that requires huge resources to look after the needs of the
elderly. Policymakers and social scientists optimistically discuss the demographic dividend as if the
benefits are imminent and within grasp. However, many developing countries, including Bangladesh,
will not be able to achieve this economic benefit without appropriate politics and substantial
investments in a number of areas.
27. The demographic dividend can basically be expressed as the opportunity arising
from.
(a) A fall in the number of children expected to survive upon birth in a population
(b) A fall in the ratio of the dependent population to the working population.
(C) A fall in the ratio of the working population to the non-working population.
(d) A reduction an in life expectancy
(e) A bulge in the elderly age group of the population
28. In order to reap the benefit of the demographic dividend, we must ensure all of
the following EXCEPT.
(a) A flow of savings into productive investment
(b) More opportunities for female workers
(c) A greater propensity to save among the working age population
(d) A focus on quantity of jobs created as opposed to their quality
(e) Sound policy formulation
29. It is important to utilize the demographic dividend fast because otherwise.
(a) Other countries may take advantages of our dividend before we do.
(b) There might soon be an increase in the crude birth rate of the population.
(c) the aging of the current working population can cause another population. shift which we are not
equipped to deal with.
(d) Increasing participation of women in the labor force can lead to a rise in fertility rate.
(e) The average life expectancy of the population may take a turn for the worse.
30. All of the following are true of the demographic dividend. EXCEPT. Order
(a) It can facilitate a period of robust economic growth.
(b) It opens a window of opportunity for better utilization of the working population.
(c) It is a naturally occurring phenomenon which will produce sure economic benefits: with or
without policy support.
(d) It is a transitory phenomenon.
(e) It can generate higher demand for goods and services and therefore have positive multiplier
effects on economic growth.
