CAT Question of the Day Answer the following questions based on the information given below.
The scientific causes for obese, dull, or obnoxious kids are surely complicated. Yet, empiricism has yet to rule out environmental factors like poor parenting and bad nutrition. Indeed, each may be two sides of the same cookie. The idea, that bad nutrition and poor socialization are unrelated to much of the pathology that afflicts children today, is an illusion.
What does the author imply by "each may be two sides of the same cookie"?
| OPTIONS | | |  | 1) | Bad nutrition and poor socialization are the two sides of the cookie that are causing problems in children. | | | 2) | Factors underlying the problems in children may be both scientific and environmental. | | | 3) | Poor Parenting and poor nutrition is causing diseases or afflictions such as obesity and dullness in children. | | | 4) | Poor nutrition and poor socialization are deeply related. |
Tip of the Day Steer clear of controversial topics during your personal interview. Avoid strong statements on religious, political or any taboo topics. Last year's Question of the day (13-Feb-12) Socrates generally applied his method of examination, called Socratic Irony, to concepts that seem to lack any concrete definition; e.g., the key moral concepts at the time, the virtues of piety, wisdom, temperance, courage, and justice. Such an examination challenged the implicit moral beliefs of the interlocutors, bringing out inadequacies and inconsistencies in their beliefs, and usually resulting in puzzlement known as aporia. In view of such inadequacies, Socrates himself professed his ignorance, but others still claimed to have knowledge. Socrates believed that his awareness of his ignorance made him wiser than those who, though ignorant, still claimed knowledge. Although this belief seems paradoxical at first glance, it in fact allowed Socrates to discover his own errors where others might assume they were correct. This claim was known by the anecdote of the Delphic oracular pronouncement that Socrates was the wisest of all men. (Or, rather, that no man was wiser than Socrates.)
Which of the following can't be concluded from the passage.
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | Socrates was the wisest of all men – or rather, no man was wiser than Socrates. | | | 2) | An aporia is the befuddlement that one faces when Socratic Irony is applied to them. | | | 3) | Socrates thought that it was better to be ignorant and aware of it then be ignorant and still claim knowledge. | | | 4) | Socrates liked to use his brand of examination on concepts that didn't have a strong definition. | | | 5) | The virtues of piety, wisdom, temperance, courage and justice were poorly defined in Socrates' time. |
