Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The world of social media is a strange and wondrous place. It's a world where you can connect with people from all over the globe, share your thoughts and opinions, and maybe even go viral if you're lucky. But let's be real, it's also a world filled with endless cat videos, oversharing, and drama.
One of the most interesting things about social media is the way it's changed the way we communicate. We've gone from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms. And don't even get me started on the whole hashtag phenomenon. It's like we're all speaking a different language now.
But there are also some downsides to this constant connection. It's easy to get sucked into the world of social media and forget about the real world around us. We're so busy scrolling through our feeds that we forget to enjoy the little moments in life. And let's not forget about the pressure to present the perfect life online. It's like we're all in a competition to see who can be the most popular, the most successful, the most enviable.
Despite all of this, I have to admit, I'm still a fan of social media. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and I've even made some new friends through various online communities. Plus, let's face it, sometimes you just need a good laugh at a ridiculous meme.

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: CDAB


Solution : The correct choice is the first option: CDAB.

The logical flow of information is:

  • Sentence C: This sentence serves as an introduction, providing essential information about what the subsequent sentences will discuss.

  • Sentence D: This follows logically as it introduces a unique and defining characteristic of the cheetah, its remarkable speed, building on the information presented in the introductory sentence.

  • Sentence A: After establishing the cheetah's overall identity and a key feature in the previous sentences, this provides more specific details about its physical dimensions, contributing to a comprehensive understanding.

  • Sentence B: This sentence complements the information about the cheetah's size by specifying its weight, offering a well-rounded portrayal of the cheetah's physical characteristics.

So, the complete sentence would be: The cheetah is a large cat native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, capable of running at 80 to 128 km per hour. Cheetahs typically reach 67–94 cm at the shoulder, and the head-and-body length is between 1.1 and 1.5 m. Adults typically weigh between 20 and 65 kg.

I scored 80.8 parcent in my 10th grade and 85.16 in my 12th grade. Can i get into IIM Ahemdabad OR IIM BANGALORE if I get a very good score in my CAT? Please guide me.

Tanya Gupta 25th Jan, 2024

Hello,


Getting into top business schools like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore is highly competitive and admission decisions are based on various factors which includes CAT scores, academic performance, work experience, and more. While having a very good score in CAT is important, it's not the only criteria for admission. It's also essential to have a well-rounded profile and stand out in other areas.

Since you don't have good academics, I suggest you to perform well in your graduation and also build you profile by doing courses, extra curricular activities and most importantly internships. This will help you standout along with your brilliant CAT score.

Hopw this helps,

Thank you
