Q #6
⏰ :

Directions : Four alternative summaries are given below each paragraph. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the paragraph.

One career that I have been interested in for a long time is architecture. Architects are involved in the negotiation, design, and the supervision of construction of a clients request. This may be from something as simple as a house add-on, to something as grand as a shopping mall. Architecture has interested me for many years. I have always enjoyed the great detail and thorough drawings that are involved. Architects use difficult mathematical functions just as much as they use art and design.

Brands never die. They are meant to live forever. However, their luster fades by the imprudent decisions of brand managers who fail to see the future unraveling. The concept of branding is not new; many famous brands have been with us for some time. Many developed as the result of the energy and enthusiasm of the entrepreneurs behind them. As the companies grew the responsibility of maintaining the brand tended to fall to others from which the brand-management system emerged.

  1. Brand management is the responsibility of the brand managers. The responsibility of brand management shifts as the companies grow. The fading luster is the result of     imprudence.
  2. Development of companies has led to the evolution of the brand management system. Brands are evergreen. The glitter is lost due to inability to see the future.
  3. Brands live forever. The failure to envisage the future combined with imprudence leads to brands losing their glitter. Branding, an age old concept, is clearly an outcome of     energetic enterprise. Brand-management system is a consequence of evolution.
  4. Branding is an age old concept. Managers who can foresee the future nurture brands. Its imperative to never let brands die.

When he started his business in 1984, Mr. Dell had no great plans to reinvent PC making. He simply wanted to assemble and sell computers out of his university dormitory. This was possible because a PC-clone industry had just emerged in the wake of IBM’s first machine, complete with an explosion of suppliers. Computer companies no longer needed their own research and manufacturing operations; instead, they could focus on assembly and marketing. Although Mr. Dell did not know it at the time, the new PC industry had several other traits that made it ideal- perhaps uniquely ideal – for the streamlined direct-sales operation that Dell now epitomises.

Explanation: The passage talks of Mr. Dell and the genesis of his company. The author's argument is that the pc industry had several characteristics that made it uniquely ideal for Dell's direct sales operation. If it is known that Dell succeeded on account of reasons other than the direct sales model then it would weaken the author's contention, this is what option states and is our answer.

It could be a passing fad, or it could mark the beginning of an era. It was quite evident at the recently concluded Watch and Jewellery Festival in Base, Switzerland, where the ‘white look’ was all-pervasive. Watches with silver plating and pastel straps were the rage. The international market has shown a leaning towards the white look for the last three years. In India, the customers are catching up with the present international trend, but the shift is a marginal one. “We are witnessing this trend in the metro markets, especially among high class customers and the youth,” says Bijou Kurien, Vice President (Sales & Marketing), Titan Watches. But silver has a long way to go in the Indian market before it can displace gold from the psyche of the Indian consumer. What is it that the author is speculating to be a “passing fad”?

Explanation: The passage talks of the current rage in international markets in the watch and jewellery sector, that of a silver-plating along with pastel straps. The passing fad thus pertains to trend towards silver plated watches and the end of the Indian customers obsession with gold.

The greatest-ever bull market in equities seems to be at an end. The Nasdaq is in free fall; the Dow, having trodden water for a couple of years, also shows signs of sinking. Stock markets in the rest of the world are following America’s lead. It is not too early to ask questions, and not just “Why didn’t I sell Cisco a year ago?” How about, “Do we really know anything about how stock markets value shares?” The answer is “not really”, for all the efforts to argue the contrary by the unfortunately timed – or titled – “Toward Rational Exuberance”. Mark Smith, a veteran share trader with CSFB and Goldman Sachs, believes that the stock market, at least in America, has become increasingly rational over the past century, a case he makes by cleverly intertwining the unfolding academic debate about how to value equities with a colourful history of Wall Street’s evolution. On which issue are the author of the above passage and Mark Smith not in agreement?

Explanation: From the passage we know that the author talks of an end to the bull market and how markets all over the world experiencing a downtrend which cannot be predicated. Mark Smith argues that this is not the case and states that the stock market has become more rational, more so in America than anywhere else. Thus the author and Mark Smith disagrees over the fact that the stock market has become rational in America.
