OFFICERS (OG-1) 9^TH BATCH

SAMPLE PAPER

SECTION 1 – ENGLISH

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 1 and 2 in light of the information given in the passage.

The rules for work are changing. We are being judged by a new yardstick: not just by how smart we are, or by our training and expertise, but also by how well we handle each other. This yardstick is increasingly applied in choosing who will be hired and who will be not, who will be let go and who will be retained, who will be passed over and who will be promoted. The new rules predict who is most likely to become a star performer and who is most prone to derailing. No matter what field we work in currently, they measure the traits that are crucial to our marketability for future jobs. They take for granted having enough intellectual ability and technical know-how to do our jobs and focus instead on personal qualities such as initiative and empathy, adaptability and persuasiveness.

Discussed for decades under a variety of names, from ‘character’ and ‘personality’ to ‘soft skills’ and ‘competence’, there is at last a more precise understanding of these human traits, and a new name for them: ‘emotional intelligence’. Emotional intelligence is generally defined as the ability to monitor and regulate one’s own and others’ feelings, and to use feelings to guide thought and action. Emotional intelligence in work life comprises five basic elements: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and adeptness in relationships. It does not mean merely ‘being nice’. At strategic moments it may demand not ‘being nice’, but rather, for example, bluntly confronting someone with the uncomfortable truth. Nor does emotional intelligence mean giving free rein to feelings – letting it all hang out. Rather, it means managing feelings so that they are expressed appropriately and effectively, enabling people to work together smoothly towards their common goal.

Q1.    What changes, with regard to work, does the writer mention?

A.   The potential of employees is now assessed by new criteria

B.   Intellectual and technical ability are more valued now

C.   Inaccurate judgments could no longer be made

D.   Employees now have higher expectations from each other

SAMPLE PAPER

SECTION 1 - ENGLISH

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 1 and 2.

The relevance of formal economic models to real-world policy has been a topic of some dispute. The economist R.D. Norton and S.Y. Rhee achieved some success in applying such a model retrospectively to the Korean economy over a fourteen-year period. The model’s figures for output, prices and other variables closely matched real statistics. The model’s value in policy terms, however, proved less clear-cut. Norton and Rhee performed simulations in which, keeping long term factors constant, they tried to pinpoint the effect of short-term policy changes. Their model indicated that rising prices for imported oil would increase inflation, reducing exports by 5 percent would lower Gross Domestic Product and increase inflation and slowing the growth of money supply would result in slightly higher inflation.

These findings are somewhat startling. Many economists have argued that reducing exports will lessen, not increase, inflation. And while most view escalating oil costs as inflationary, few would think the same of slower monetary growth. The Norton-Rhee model can perhaps be viewed as indicating the pitfalls of a formalist approach that stresses statistical “goodness of fit” at the expense of genuine policy relevance.

Q1.   In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with:

A.    Suggesting an explanation for Korean inflation.

B.     Criticizing an overly formal economic model.

C.     Advocating the use of statistical models in determining economic policy.

D.    Proposing a new type of economic analysis.

Q2.   The author mentions a “fourteen-year” period in order to:

A.    Indicate how far into the future the model can make accurate forecasts.

B.     Acknowledge the accuracy of Norton and Rhee’s model in account of past events.

C.     Explain the effects of reducing exports on inflation.

D.    Expose the flaws in Norton and Rhee’s model.

Select the correct SYNONYM (similar meaning) for the word from the given options.

Q3. SAGE

A.    Wise

B.     Inattentive

C.     Hasty

D.    Negligent

Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 and 2

IMF financing aims to assist countries in attaining economic stability and transition through economic shocks by providing cushion through funds. This gives the recipient country time to bring about the structural reforms and changes needed to resolve underlying issues that threaten its economic stability. These IMF loans are usually disbursed in installments that are conditional upon the recipient country making policy changes or implementing certain economic reforms. This conditionality ensures that progress is made during the program and that the funds are not used only as a stopgap measure. Periodic program reviews evaluate whether the program is on track and if any different measures need to be taken to attain the program’s objectives.

In a historic and positive turn of events, Pakistan recently cleared the final USD 102 million, a portion of its USD 6.4 billion 3-year International Monetary Fund (IMF) program. Out of the 11 IMF programs that Pakistan has participated in so far, this program was the first ever to be completed. Upon completion of their final review, IMF stated that due to an expected increase in China Pakistan Economic Corridor related investment in addition to a surge in private sector credit and economic productivity, it expects growth of the Pakistani economy to cross 5 percent in FY17. Fiscal deficit is also estimated to decrease to 3.8 percent next year. Due to this strengthening of macroeconomic indicators, Pakistan is poised for greater and sustained economic growth, with enhanced financial stability.

Q1.   The main aim of IMF is:

A.    To create instability in an economy

B.    To help a country in making reforms that boost economy

C.    To support countries with an instable economy by providing funds

D.    To review the performance of a country and make suggestions

Q2.   According to IMF, which of the following factors have indicated economic growth in Pakistan?

A.    The clearance of USD 102 million funds

B.    Participating in 11 programs of IMF

C.    Investments in CPEC and boost in private sector economic productivity

D.    Strengthening of microeconomic indicators and decrease in Fiscal deficit
