Q:

(which is sold) P (for its horn) Q (the Rhinoceros is hunted by poachers) R (at high prices) S

The correct sequence should be

A) S Q P R B) Q R S P
C) R Q P S D) Q P S R
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) R Q P S

Explanation:

Since, the starting statement carries a subject; R will be the first statement. The next statement describes why are they hunted, so Q follows P, as it states that what is being done with the horns. S would be the concluding statement and thus form a coherent paragraph.

The correct formation would be, ‘The Rhinoceros is hunted by poachers for its horn which is sold at high prices.’

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Everyone expected Mary Zophres to win for her retro-revival Technicolor clothes in La La Land — the eventual winner, Colleen Atwood for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, seemed surprised too. But as other awards began to slip away from the well-reviewed musical, a theme could be teased out. What is Fantastic Beasts if not a plea for equal treatment of people, magical or otherwise? Then, Arrival, a film about the inherent benignity of aliens (read immigrants) won for Best Sound Editing. Hacksaw Ridge, which is, in a way, an anti-guns movie, won in two categories. Fences, about an African-American father who fears racial discrimination, took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Earlier, Moonlight, featuring two minority communities (black and gay), won for Best Supporting Actor. This turned out to be one of those years the Oscar voter was underestimated. As a majority of voters are actors, there was the tendency to think they'd reward La La Land, a celebration of creation: the heroine wants to make movies, the hero wants to make jazz. It looked like the year of The Artist all over again.

 

Colleen Atwood won which Award?

A) Best Costume Design for La La Land B) Best Supporting Actor for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
C) Best Supporting Actor for La La Land D) Best Costume Design for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Best Costume Design for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

2. There is limited liability of shareholders.

3. It has a democratic management.

4. It has a collective ownership.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

A) 1 and 2 only B) 1, 2 and 3 only
C) 3 and 4 only D) 1, 2, 3 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation:

Joint stock company is a voluntary association of individuals for profit, having a capital divided into transferable shares, the ownership of which is the condition of membership.

The definition of a joint stock company highlights the following features of a company.

Separate legal entity:From the day of its incorporation, a company acquires an identity, distinct from its members. Its assets and liabilities are separate from those of its owners. The law does not recognise the business and owners to be one and the same.

The management and control of the affairs of the company is undertaken by the Board of Directors, which appoints the top management officials for running the business. The directors hold a position of immense significance as they are directly accountable to the shareholders for the working of the company. The shareholders, however, do not have the right to be involved in the day-to-day running of the business. The liability of the members is limited to the extent of the capital contributed by them in a company

The risk of losses in a company is borne by all the shareholders. This is unlike the case of sole proprietorship or partnership firm where one or few persons respectively bear the losses.
