Reading Comprehension

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions Unemployment is an important index of economic slack and lost output, but it is much more than that. For the unemployed person, it is often a damaging affront to human dignity and

sometimes a catastrophic blow to family life. Nor is this cost distributed in proportion to ability to bear it. It falls most heavily on the young, the semiskilled and unskilled, the black person, the older worker, and underemployed person in a low income rural area who is denied the option of securing more rewarding urban employment….The concentrated incidence of unemployment among specific groups in the population means far greater costs to society that can be measured simply in hours of involuntary idleness or dollars of income lost. The extra costs include disruption of the careers of young people, increased juvenile delinquency, and perpetuation of conditions which breed racial discrimination in employment and otherwise deny equality of opportunity. There is another and more subtle cost. The social and economic strains of prolonged underutilization create strong pressures for cost-increasing solutions…. On the side of labor, prolonged high unemployment leads to “share-the-work” pressures for shorter hours, intensifies resistance to technological change and to rationalization of work rules. On the side of business, the weakness of markets leads to attempts to raise prices to cover high average overhead casts and to pressures for protection against foreign and domestic competition.

38.  The cost to society of unemployment can be measured by all except

A.    lost incomes

B.    idleness

C.   juvenile delinquency

D.   disruption of careers

E.    the death rate

39.  Serious unemployment leads labor groups to demand

A.    more jobs by having everyone work shorter hours

B.    higher wages to those employed

    HAT Test: Reading Comprehension Sample Questions:   The explosion of a star is an awesome event. The most violent of these cataclysms, which produce supernovae, probably destroys a star completely. Within our galaxy of roughly 100 billion stars the last supernova was observed in 1604. Much smaller explosions, however, occur quite frequently, giving rise to what astronomers call novae and dwarf novae. On the order of 25 novae occur in our galaxy every year, but only two or three are near enough to be observed. About 100 dwarf novae are known altogether. If the exploding star is in a nearby part of the galaxy, it may create a “new star” that was not previously visible to the naked eye. The last new star of this sort that could be observed clearly from the Northern Hemisphere appeared in 1946. In these smaller explosions the star loses only a minute fraction of its mass and survives to explode again. Astrophysicists are fairly well satisfied that they can accou...

HAT Test :All Types of HAT Analogies: What are Analogies?

  All Types of HAT Analogies:   What are Analogies?   In Analogy Questions, candidates are required to recognize the same relation between the pair of words (in given options) to the given pair of words (in capital letters). For Example:   1.       CONSENSUS : AGREEMENT A.     conundrum : obvious B.      ameliorate : improve C.      education : improvement D.     affect : effect   Consensus means agreement. So the relation between them is "same meaning (synonym)". Similarly, the relation between ameliorate and improve is also "same meaning (synonym)". Since, ameliorate means improve. Hence, (B) is an analogy to given pair of words (in capital letters).
