CAT Question of the Day
Answer the question based on the passage given below.

Roddenberry first presented Star Trek to CBS, which turned it down in favor of the Irwin Allen creation Lost in Space. Roddenberry next presented his concept to the head of Desilu Studio—Herb Solow—who eventually accepted it. Solow then successfully sold Gene's vision of Star Trek to NBC, which paid for but turned down the first pilot "The Cage", stating that it was "too cerebral". However, the NBC executives had still been impressed with the concept, and they understood that its perceived faults had been partly because of the script that they had selected themselves. The NBC executives then made the unusual decision to pay for a second pilot, using the script called "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Only the character of Mr. Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, was kept from the first pilot, and only two cast members, Majel Barrett and Nimoy, were carried forward into the second pilot. This pilot proved to be satisfactory to NBC, and the network selected Star Trek to be in its upcoming television schedule for the fall of 1966.

Which of the following is an appropriate title to the above passage?

OPTIONS
 
 1)Star Trek: The Original Series
 2)The Folly of NBC Executives
 3)How Leonard Nimoy came to be cast as Spock on Star Trek
 4)How Star Trek came to be telecast on NBC
 5)Roddenberry's Baby – The Origin of Star Trek
Tip of the Day
If the difference of two consecutive cubes is a square, then it is the square of the sum of two successive squares. i.e.

If a2 = (n + 1)3 - n3, then a = r2 + (r + 1)2
Last year's Question of the day (22-Sep-11)
Read the sentences and choose the option that best arranges them in a logical order.
  1. 'Structuralism', or what was designated as such mainly in France in the 1960s and 1970s, is no longer regarded as a truly fertile method in the domains of sociology and anthropology, nor in those of linguistics and psychology, even if many of the concepts and schemata of thought that it put into circulation are still recognizable.
  2. But one couldn't really say it represented a 'subversion' either, since – apparently at least – the social and human sciences are holding up very well and still enjoy the same institutional legitimacy.
  3. In some instances towards methodologies that are more positivist, statistical or explicative, and in others towards participative inquiries, seeking a more immediate contact with 'experience'.
  4. A good portion of those who had enthusiastically adopted its language and objectives have turned away from it.
