    The passage below is followed by questions based on its contents. Read the passage, and choose the best answer on the basis of passage content, stated or implied.

    Passage

    Adversity like that faced by the Swiss watchmakers has the virtue of starkly limiting the alternatives. A company that decides to expand by acquisition has the wide world of commerce before it, subject only to availability and price. The plethora of choices is one explanation of the many poor selections. The best decisions follow when the purpose is most clearly defined. At least the decision maker then knows exactly what he is trying to achieve and why.

    The Swiss were trying to achieve survival - an aim so ‘transcendent’ that they “why” needn’t be asked. The only important question was “How”, and the only answer (which their Japanese rivals have always chosen as the most rewarding approach) is to probe for weaknesses of the opposition, and then to kick the Achilles heel with steel-tipped boots. In this instance, the weakness to which Japanese business is strangely prone) was lack of modern fashion sense. The electronic timepieces were being sold as wrist machinery; that gave Swiss Company its opportunity.

    Q. 1. In the context of the passage which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “plethora” as given in bold.

    1. paucity

    2. Nature

    3. Quantity

    4. Excess

    5. Other than those given as options

    Q. 2. Which of the following was true in the case of business difficulties of the Swiss watchmakers as per the passage?

    1. The Swiss watch maker had virtually no limitation of available choices for taking decision in the instant case of difficulties.

    2. A large number of available alternatives would have probably made the Swiss Watchmakers’ decision making process better.

    3. The limited number of available choices in the instant situation made the Swiss Watchmakers’ decision making process easier.

    4. The Swiss watch makers lacked clarity about the objective to be achieved.

    5. Other than those given as options

    Q. 3. Which of the following holds good in the case of Swiss or Japanese watchmaking companies?
