SECTION-IINo. of Questions = 20

DIRECTIONS for questions 21 to 28 : Each of the passages given below is followed by questions. Choose the best answer toeach question.

PASSAGE-1

There are many occasions in our social lives when we wish to hide our true feelings but somehow fail to do so. The bereavedmother who is trying to conceal her sadness from her children is said to be ‘putting on a brave face’, as if she were wearing a maskof false expressions over a face of true ones. When we fail to deceive in this way, how does the information about our true feelingsleak out ? What is the source of non-verbal leakage and how can we tell if someone is lying ?

The case of the bereaved mother is one where the deception fails because there is no great pressure for it to succeed. In fact,there is a positive advantage for it failing to deceive. If the bereaved mother were too successful in concealing her grief, she wouldbe criticised for a lack of feeling. Equally, if she failed to display some visible- inhibition of her grief she would be said to lackcourage and self-control. Her ‘brave face’ is therefore an example of pseudo-deception, where the deceiver is happy to be foundout, Either consciously or unconsciously, she wants her forced smile to be read as forced.

But what happens if the pressure to deceive is greater ? The defendant in a murder trial who knows he is guilty but desperatelyprotests his innocence is under enormous pressure to succeed with his’ deception. He lies with his verbal statements and mustmatch his words with equally convincing body actions. How does he do it ? He can control his words, but can he control his body?

The answer is that he can control some parts of his body better than others. The easy parts to discipline are those whose actionshe is most aware of in ordinary, day-to-day signalling. He knows most about his smiles and frowns - he sees them occasionally ina mirror - and his facial expressions will come out at the top of his self-awareness list. So he can lie best with his face.

His general body postures can give some valuable, clues because he is not always fully conscious of the degree of stiffness of hisstance or the degree of slump or alertness. But the value of these body postures is greatly reduced by social rules that requirecertain rather stereotyped poses in specific contexts. A murder trial defendant, for instance, is traditionally expected to sit or standrather stiffly, whether guilty or innocent, and this can easily act as a postural ‘signal-blunter’.

Hand movements and postures are more useful clues to deception because our murderer will be less aware of them, and there areusually no set rules to blunt his manual expressiveness. Of course, if he were undergoing military interrogation, his hands wouldbe signal-blunted by the strict code of military etiquette: standing at attention makes lying easier for a soldier than for a civilian. Butnormally there will be gesticulations, and these should be carefully studied for deception clues.

Finally, his legs and feet are of-particular interest ‘ because this is the part of the body where he is least aware of what he is doing.Frequently, however, the actions of this lower region of the body are obscured from view, so-that, in practice, their usefulness isseverely limited. Furniture permitting, though, they are a vital give away area, which is one of the reasons why people feel morecomfortable during interviews and business negotiations when sitting behind the lower-body screen of a desk or table. This fact-is sometimes exploited in competitive interviews by placing the candidates chair alone in the centre of the room so that the bodyof each ‘victim’ is fully exposed to view.

To sum up, then, the best way to deceive is to restrict your signals to-words and facial expressions. The most efficient means ofdoing this is either to conceal the rest of your body or keep it so busy with a complicated mechanical procedure that all its visualdeception clues are stifled by the demand for physical dexterity. In other words, if you have to lie, do it over the telephone or whenpeering over a wall; alternatively, when threading a needle or maneuvering a car into a parking space. If much of you is visible andyou have no mechanical task to perform, then to succeed with your lie you must try to involve the whole of your body in the act ofdeception, not just your voice and face.

PASSAGE-2

Fashion has come to acquire a prominent position in the nitty-gritties of our life as it stands today. The old proverb, ‘Your face isyour fortune’, now stands modified to sound as ‘Your dress is your fortune’, in order to be in tune with the ambience of our workculture. The reasons are quite apparent, since along with a good and cheerful countenance, a perfectly matched Attire is extremelyimportant. Fashion also offers the best model of expression of an individual’s cultural and social thinking. It is fashion alone whichadds air, elegance and elan to an individual’s person and manner.

A major segment of the population is involved in creating, innovating, marketing, teaching, popularizing and,. redeeming fashion.The present fashion scene offers a wide range of intriguing collection, bold and unique to each designer. And with the latestdevelopments in the field of information technology (IT), a new dimension has been added to this creative field - The ComputerizedHi-Fashion Dress Designing.

Imagine a situation in which a certain Ms. X and Ms. Y sit down to design an array of geometric patterns for a crushed silk two pieceoutfit. The modus operandi for the two ladies runs as follows: Ms. X boots her system very pompously (pardon her for her vanity;she is helpless due to habit), inserts the floppy, loads the required software (call it XXXica for the time being), loads the mouse andbegins immediately (she takes care to be ostentatious), On the other hand, Ms. Y. carefully pins up a cartage sheet on the drawingboard (feels disgusted to find only a single drawing pin), sharpens for 2B, fixes up an eraser and a scale and then sits down to draw(with a heavy heart....). Ms. X clicks the mouse at desired points on the monitor, uses a few command options here and there andfinally produces a design which looks fairly neat and artistic and highly exquisite by all standards. Ms. Y is still in the middle for herdesign and feels that she might have to sit up for another 4 - 5 hours for its completion. This instance only goes on to prove theefficiency, accuracy and alacrity of Ms X’s system, “the computer.”

Computer is that invention of IT which has taken the world in its stride, by its all catalyzing impact. Its utility has long been felt infields like business, engineering, transport, communication, banks,. medicine and household. And this remarkable machine hasnow entered into the domain of fashion industry too and added new dimensions and shades to the industry with its ever wideningcapabilities, For time management, better design communication channels, accurate patterns and draft in education of sampling,computer has displayed effectiveness as efficient production tool. A CAD system allows the designer complete hands on controlof the design process. The computer uses a high definition video screen, which, reproduces colours addictively by creatingmixtures of three primaries (red, green and blue) and by varying their intensities. A computer can reproduce and record about 16million colours on the monitor, well beyond what is colours in combination and even reproduce the different effect of lighting andtexture.

A basic design is drawn with a pen plotter, and the computer is then directed to fill in or modify colours according to color inpatterns, from stripes or plaids to figurative designs, in fabrics, such as, wool tweed or cotton twill, under different lighting conditions- natural, incandescent, or fluorescent, with different dyes, with different textures adding three dimensional depth to color and ondifferent types of clothing showing how the finalized product will look without having the need to assemble it. High resolutionprinters can translate samples to prints so realistic that they are often mistaken for fabric swatches.

The CAM system translates the designs into the manufactured objects. Computers are linked to automated colourant mixing,dispensing and dyeing systems equipment. Similarly, colouring can be done by high speed laser printing or dyeing machinesproviding comparable benefits in cost and, flexibility. Some designers have expressed disappointment with CAD systems,because the colours on the screen are produced in light while the results are in pigments or dyes. A color that is bright and


®®

exciting when lit up on the screen may, well be dull and dismal when actually manufactured on cloth. In the same way, colorcombinations that seem satisfactory on the screen may not be so in real life. The human hand and eye are needed to achievethe desired results. Among the main advantage of CAD/CAM systems are their speed, flexibility and cost effectiveness, whichallow designers to increase experimentation, and manufacturers to keep pace with rapid changes in fashion colours. Computercontrolled manufacturing makes it possible to dye or weave short runs, instead of the thousands of yard needed in the past tocover set up costs. In addition, all matching can be done by the computer.

For any textile unit, workshop or boutique intending to computerize their workplace, there are three steps of primary importanceto be considered while deciding for the right kind of system: (a) Specific software; (b) Basic system, which consists of monitor,keyboard and CPU and (c) Peripherals or attachments which heighten the performance of the system. The DOS, Disk OperatingSystem, and Windows environment, which are the basic operating systems of a computer, offer software applications like CorelDraw, Illustrator, Fractal Design Painter, Paint Brush, Mannequin, 3-d studio, animator, ProPainter, Adobe Photoshop etc. Theseapplications offer various editing tools in a range of shapes animation modules, presentation graphics and image processingmodules in which an image can be created or a photograph scanned with a special attachment called the scanner, and the imagecan be modified, effects added or diminished and colours changed. Also offered are a number of standard effects and textures likepen and ink drawing, water colours, oil paints, charcoal, mosaic etc. and variations of these effects. Fashion designers can usethese applications to control the density of a particular effect and color tones. The, Manequin application offers an animated, 3dimensional human figure which enables dress designers to fit a design on to the form and make necessary changes before actualproduction. The designer can effect changes in styles of cuffs, collars and sleeves, which are stored in the data bank, add colorand embroidery and store the final result for future reference. Entire catalogues can be designed without actually stitching thegarments.

The new technology of computers is addressing a wide range of problems in garment and textile industry and humanizingmanufacturing techniques. Capable of performing logical operations and processing information at high speeds, computer promisesthe greatest leap in fashion technology in the twenty first century.

3. Show how computers can aid the fashion industry and thus play an important role.

4. Show how the world is becoming more fashion oriented.

1. The problem is with the printer because it cannot reproduce all the colours that are seen on a computer screen.

2. The color seems bright and exciting because of the light of the screen but looks dull when printed on cloth.

3. The printing quality is bad and it comes in patches.

4. None of these.

DIRECTIONS for questions 33 to 35 : For each of the given passages, choose the most logical continuation and mark theappropriate choice as the correct answer.

33. Poor citizens have little clout with politicians. In some countries the citizenry has only a weak hold on politicians. Even ifthere is a well functioning electoral system, poor people may not be able to influence politicians about public services. Theymay not be well informed about the quality of public services (and politicians know this); they may vote along ethnic or castelines, placing less weight on public services when evaluating politicians; or they may not believe the candidates whopromise better public services – for example, because their term in office is too short to deliver on the promise.

1. And they may vote instead for candidates who provide a promise of a government which is free of corruption.

2. And they may not vote instead for candidates who provide ready cash, personal favours, and jobs.

3. And they may vote instead for candidates who provide ready cash, personal favours, and jobs.

4. And therefore they may not participate in the process of voting at all.

34. Financial sector reform in India has often followed a convoluted path – one step forward, two steps backward. Nowhere isthis more evident than in the context of the development finance institutions (DFIs). Even as the government’s action – asreflected in the withdrawal of concessional long-term funds from the RBI to FIs and approval of ICICI’s reverse merger withits offspring ICICI Bank – seem to suggest the growing irrelevance of DFIs, its words have often been to the contrary.1. The most recent example of this obsession with the financial sector reforms came during the finance ministers

speech, while presenting his interim budget.2. The most recent instance of this schizophrenic attitude to financial sector reform came during the finance ministers

speech while presenting his interim budget.3. One of the earliest times such an attitude was shown by the Government was on display in 1992 when the then


®®

finance minister presented his introductory budget.4. Therefore the argument that the government shall continue economic reforms doesn’t hold much water.

35. The news that Krishna Raj had died filled me with despair, and this attempt to write about him is mainly to overcome it, forI know how sad he would be to leave us in despair. When I recall how major a role he played in shaping a significant phaseof my life, I am struck by the moral authority he carried. A letter from him put one under strain, of the kind I have felt underno other editor in English. Krishna Raj corresponded and talked with startling modesty which seemed quite unnecessarybut it was not part of any design to persuade. It conveyed a feeling that he knew precisely why what I would write wasnecessary for him to have.1. The authority that he carried struck any one who met him.2. Thus Krishnaraj was able to persuade others to his point of view without being authoritative or highhanded.3. The lack of comfort and proximity reminded anyone of the Gurukul” ,the traditional schools of learning in India.4. The ease and intimacy reminded one of an older time zone of which I have no direct experience; only a vague

impression.
