Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false.
  


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Statement 1 is true. SEBI, as part of its development functions, focuses on investor education and training to enhance awareness and understanding of financial markets among investors. Educating and training investors is a key component of SEBI's efforts to develop the securities market.

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 1.

Option 1: likes

Option 2: releases

Option 3: makes

Option 4: encompasses

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: encompasses


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

  • Likes: It typically refers to preferences or approvals, but in this sentence structure, it doesn't connect logically to the subject "education".

  • Releases: It means to set something free or make something available. It doesn't coherently convey the relationship between education, teaching, learning, conduct, and competency.

  • Encompasses: It means to include or contain within its scope or range. In the context of the sentence, "encompasses" logically connects education to the various elements.

  • Makes: It typically denotes causing something to happen or producing a result. In this sentence structure, "makes" doesn't directly relate to education.

Among the options provided, "encompasses" is the most suitable word to fill in the blank, as it properly conveys that education covers, includes, or incorporates the aspects of teaching.

Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Indian mathematician Nikhil Srivastava, working at the University of California in Berkeley, is among the winners of the Prestigious 2021 Michael and Sheila Held Prize, announced last week by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Adam W. Marcus, EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne), and Daniel Alan Spielman, Yale University, are the other two winners.

"Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava solved longstanding questions on the Kadison-Singer problem and on Ramanujan graphs, and in the process, they uncovered a deep new connection between linear algebra, the geometry of polynomials, and graph theory that has inspired the next generation of theoretical computer scientists," the NAS said in a statement.

An Indian national, Nikhil was born in New Delhi in November 1983 and has attended educational institutions across the world—Syria, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and the US—as his father was an Indian Foreign Services officer, who has served as the Indian ambassador to Uganda and Denmark. At present, Nikhil is an associate professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley. The Michael and Sheila Held Prize is presented annually to honour outstanding, innovative, creative, and influential research in the area of combinatorial mathematics.

Question:
Which of the following is NOT true of Nikhil Srivastava, according to the passage?

Option 1: He had his education in many countries around the world.

Option 2: He has served as the Indian ambassador to Denmark and Uganda.

Option 3: He was born in North India in the early 1980s.

Option 4: He is now a faculty at the University of Califomia.

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: He has served as the Indian ambassador to Denmark and Uganda.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

As stated in the last paragraph of the passage, it was Nikhil's father who was an Indian Foreign Services officer and served as the Indian Ambassador to Uganda and Denmark, and not him.

Therefore, the correct answer is: He has served as the Indian ambassador to Denmark and Uganda.

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 2.

Option 1: changes

Option 2: makes

Option 3: focuses

Option 4: regards

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: focuses


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The correct word to fill in the blank is "focuses". This word aligns with the context of emphasising what the subject (presumably "it" refers to the educational system or process) concentrates on or centres its efforts upon.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Regards: This word means to view or consider something in a particular way.
  • Makes: This word refers to the act of causing something to happen or creating something.
  • Changes: This word signifies altering or modifying something.

So, the complete sentence would be: "It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades, or professions."
