Passage:
Passage I
Qualitative research methods are often mischaracterized by advocates, users, and critics alike because too often the reflexive, iterative,
and flexible methods are misunderstood as 'just making do.' There is a good pragmatic tradition of "making do," from Dewey to the
present, that describes the necessities as well as virtues of using what situations provide in their immediacy as the grounds of social
action. While qualitative research certainly shares some of this pragmatic bricolage, good research, qualitative as well as quantitative, is
designed as well as improvised. One of the merits of qualitative research is its particular openness to serendipitous invention; one of its
failures, however, has been an unwillingness, or inability, on the part of its practitioners, until recently, to specify how that openness to
'what situations make available' can be both systematic and creative.
Over the years I have probably reviewed hundreds of research proposals; too large a number of these claimed that because the
researcher was doing a qualitative study, the kinds of data and forms of collection could not be specified in advance. I was always a bit
embarrassed by this, feeling let down by my side. It sometimes seemed as if our teaching of qualitative research was creating a mystical
religion, a set of our own unexamined fetishes just at the moment we set about to identify others' taken for granted assumptions and
social meanings. In this vein, some years ago I heard a colleague advise a student going out to do field work for the first time "to be like
a blank slate," "just tell me everything you see and hear, write it all down." The student was completely baffled and clearly at a loss
about what to do, to do first, or second, or how to begin. What would constitute telling me all you see and hear. Importantly, the student
had read a lot of sociology, and knew a lot about signs and signifiers, latent as well as manifest patterns in social relations. She knew
that competent social actors are not blank slates. She felt incompetent but not entirely blank. She had a project, after all.
It seemed from the proposals I read and the conversations I observed that we, qualitative sociologists, believed that we could not specify
what we were going to do (i.e. lay out a design and plan of the research), because that would mean that we would have -- by that naming
-- necessarily circumscribed what we would do. Having supposedly controlled a priori what we would do, we would be unable to do
something else along the way, as the situations and insights invited. We would have lost the distinctive virtues of qualitative research.
Somehow, in this mysticism about qualitative methods, research designs seemed to be understood as enforceable contracts or sets of
machine instructions; any deviation from the design was understood to be either impossible, a failure, or a mistake. Qualitative research
was celebrated for its flexibility, the temporal coincidence of collection and analysis and thus prior design was, by definition, a threat to
qualitative research.
Of course, I have overstated the issue but we were asked to provide fodder for discussion. And, to some extent, this overstatement puts
the issue in a bold form. Why should qualitative research be any less well designed (or specified) than quantitative research? When I
think about the steps in different methods, it occurs to me that most of what gets put into a research design, let us say for a survey
project or quantitative research, could also be put in the design for an ethnography or a project of in-depth-interviewing and narrative
analysis. The major differences lie in the fact that qualitative projects (1) will not rely on statistical analyses and therefore do not need to
produce probability samples and standardized collection instruments at the same temporal pace and placement in the research process.
As a consequence of temporal pace and sequencing, qualitative projects (2) will be able to adjust the forms of data, modes and cites of
collection in response to the ongoing processes of analysis and interpretation. This is certainly so. I suspect, however, that the resistance
to detailed research qualitative research designs derives less, however, from emphasis on these key differences than from an overly
idealized or reified view of how other forms of research proceed, whether quantitative sociology or chemistry or biology. That is, all
research develops (is in the making and rethinking) throughout the stages of design, collection, and analysis. Almost all research
produces much that was unanticipated and therefore had to be responded to with adjustments along the way. The central difference lies
in the explicit weight of recognition of and preparation for this process of adjustment in most qualitative projects. Nothing precludes a
preliminary design that sets the researcher on a path that is understood as a first approximation of the work process.
I should say before going much further that there are varieties of qualitative research and my remarks will not appropriately characterize
all. For the moment, I am referring primarily to ethnographic fieldwork (i.e. research study looking at the social interaction of users in a
given environment), participant observation, in-depth open ended interviewing, and other work involving interpretative qualitative
analysis of documents of various sorts. Thus, the mode of analysis rather than the type of data more appropriately describes work as

qualitative. (The content of documents and interviews can be analysed quantitatively or qualitatively. Observations can be systematically
structured and quantified but much observation is not, nor would be productive.)
The goal of research is to produce results that can be falsifiable and in some way affirmable by rational processes of actors other than
the author. Most important is that the researcher provide an account of how the conclusions were reached, why the reader should believe
the claims and how one might go about trying to produce a similar account. What makes science morally, and rationally, compelling is
that it is a public enterprise. I am not referring to the funding or organizational supports. Rather, science is distinguished by the claim to
produce shared understanding/knowledge through modes that can be rationally and collectively apprehended. In short, we have an
obligation not to "hide the ball." To the extent that we do "hide the ball," we transform our science into rhetorical performance.

Q45: Which of the following is incorrect:
Participant observation and in-depth open ended interviewing can be analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively but analysing
A
observations using quantitative techniques wouldn't be as much productive.
The varieties of research that require interpretative qualitative analysis of data is what qualifies the work to be classified as
B
qualitative.
C Due to their reflexive, iterative, and flexible nature, the qualitative research methods should not be specified in advance.
Controlling a priori what the researcher would do does not cause the distinctive virtues associated with qualitative research to be
D
lost.

Q46: According to the passage, which of the following is incorrect about qualitative research design:
The only difference between qualitative and quantitative research is that the latter relies on statistical analyses and therefore needs
A
to produce probability samples and standardized collection instruments.
Because qualitative analysis does not rely on statistical analyses, it does not need to produce probability samples and standardized
B
collection instruments at the same temporal pace and placement in the research process as quantitative research.
All research, including quantitative sociology or chemistry or biology develops throughout the stages of design, collection, and
C analysis and produces much that was unanticipated and therefore has to be responded to with adjustments along the way, however,
qualitative research requires explicit weight of recognition of and preparation for this process of adjustment.
While qualitative projects require a preliminary design similar to the other forms of research, however, the former requires an
D
explicit weight of recognition of and preparation for this process of adjustment.

Q47: "The goal of research is ...... other than the author" (last para) from the passage can be best explained as:
A The goal of research is to produce results that are able to be proved to be false.
The goal of research is to produce outcomes that are able to be contradicted by evidence, and that it is there for others to approve
B
or disapprove that researcher's conclusions follow from the collected/empirical data/observations.
Researchers should produce results that can be contradicted if the experimental observations come to light that disprove the
C
outcomes.
The goal of research is to arrive at the conclusions and make claims to knowledge through the application of science, i.e. the
D
collection of facts.

Q48: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage:
Qualitative research that specifies a priori the design and plan of research can be both systematic and creative and requires
A
application of science for producing a shared understanding.
B Kinds of data and forms of collection for qualitative research could be very much specified in advance.
Deviations from the design already laid out for qualitative research would be considered either impossible, or a failure, or mistake
C
because research designs once specified are understood as enforceable contracts.
D Scientific qualitative research should make visible to others how researcher knows what he or she is claiming to know.

Passage II
Sociologist Matthews writes that Let's say someone writes an academic paper quoting fifty people who have worked on the subject and
provided background materials for his study; assume, for the sake of simplicity, that all fifty are of equal merit. Another researcher
working on the exact same subject will randomly cite three of those fifty in his bibliography. Merton showed that many academics cite
references without having read the original work; rather, they'll read a paper and draw their own citations from among its sources. So a
third researcher reading the second article selects three of the previously referenced authors for his citations. These three authors will
receive cumulatively more and more attention as their names become associated more tightly with the subject at hand. The difference
between the winning three and the other members of the original cohort is mostly luck: they were initially chosen not for their greater
skill, but simply for the way their names appeared in the prior bibliography. Thanks to their reputations, these successful academics will
go on writing papers and their work will be easily accepted for publication. It is easier for the rich to get richer, for the famous to
become more famous. This theory can easily apply to companies, businessmen, actors, writers, and anyone else who benefits from past
success.
During the 1940s, a Harvard linguist, George Zipf, examined the properties of language and came up with an empirical regularity now
known as Zipf's law, which, of course, is not a law (and if it were, it would not be Zipf's). It is just another way to think about the
process of inequality. The mechanisms he described were as follows: the more you use a word, the less effortful you will find it to use
that word again, so you borrow words from your private dictionary in proportion to their past use. This explains why out of the sixty
thousand main words in English, only a few hundred constitute the bulk of what is used in writings, and even fewer appear regularly in
conversation. Likewise, the more people aggregate in a particular city, the more likely a stranger will be to pick that city as his
destination. The big get bigger and the small stay small, or get relatively smaller. A great illustration of preferential attachment can be
seen in the mushrooming use of English as a lingua franca—though not for its intrinsic qualities, but because people need to use one
single language, or stick to one as much as possible, when they are having a conversation. So whatever language appears to have the
upper hand will suddenly draw people in droves; its usage will spread like an epidemic, and other languages will be rapidly dislodged. I
am often amazed to listen to conversations between people from two neighboring countries, say, between a Turk and an Iranian, or a
Lebanese and a Cypriot, communicating in bad English, moving their hands for emphasis, searching for these words that come out of
their throats at the cost of great physical effort. Even members of the Swiss Army use English (not French) as a lingua franca (it would
be fun to listen). Consider that a very small minority of Americans of northern European descent is from England; traditionally the
preponderant ethnic groups are of German, Irish, Dutch, French, and other northern European extraction. Yet because all these groups
now use English as their main tongue, they have to study the roots of their adoptive tongue and develop a cultural association with parts
of a particular wet island, along with its history, its traditions, and its customs!

Passage:

Read the following passage:
How is it that people come to use certain nonverbal behaviours in specific settings, or associate a particular behaviour (e.g., smiling)
with a particular meaning (e.g., happiness)? A sociocultural approach to answering these questions focuses on the ways in which
behaviours and their meanings are prescribed at social or cultural levels and on the ways in which people come to acquire them.
Encompassing a number of models and theories, the sociocultural paradigm emphasizes the influence of human interaction in creating
and transmitting understanding; thus, it highlights the effects of culture, class, religion, sexuality, power, or other socially maintained
factors on the enactment and meaning of behaviour.
The fundamental assumption underlying the sociocultural paradigm is that interpersonal behaviour and its meanings are learned through
the diffusion of social or cultural knowledge and are, therefore, malleable. Because interpersonal behaviours are learned rather than
innate, both behaviours and their meanings can be altered by changing the knowledge that is conveyed. This can explain, for instance,
not only why cultures vary one from another in both their behaviours and the meanings of those behaviours, but also why, without
access to another culture’s knowledge, people often find cross-cultural communication so challenging.
Central to the sociocultural paradigm, then, are two ideas: i) Most nonverbal communication is learned, rather than innate, and, ii) Most
non-verbal behaviours do not have inherent meanings, but rather, their meanings are products of social consensus. These principles have
found widespread acceptance within the field of human communication, perhaps, in part, because of their considerable intuitive appeal.
It is easy to identify examples of behavioural learning simply by considering the apparent influence of parents, teachers, gender roles,
cultural norms, and the media on children’s behaviours. Consequently, the paradigm seems to have face validity as an approach that is
isomorphic with people’s everyday experiences.
A related strength of the sociocultural paradigm is found in the magnitude of the empirical evidence that has been marshalled in support
of it. Perhaps as a result of its intuitive appeal, many researchers have applied the tenets of the paradigm to their own work and have
found support for the influence of learning, or for the social embeddedness of meaning, across a wide range of topics, ranging from
personality development and child discipline, to gender role acquisition, doctor–patient communication, and the relational messages of
nonverbal behaviours.
One potential criticism of the sociocultural paradigm is that its emphasis on the social influences on learning behaviour and creating
meaning obscures what may be substantial non-social influences on the same outcomes, including the influence of genetics. Certainly,
any paradigm will lead its proponents to attend to particular variables more than others; the problem lies in the potential to misinterpret
genetic effects, for instance, as the effects of learning or socialization. An important example derives from the study of parental
influence on child personality development. As Harris (1998) noted in her detailed review, there is no shortage of social science research
showing that children are more likely than not to grow up with personalities similar to those of their parents. That is, pleasant,
affectionate parents tend to rear pleasant, affectionate children, whereas aggressive, violent parents tend to rear children who are
likewise aggressive and violent. Working from the framework of the sociocultural paradigm, one would find little difficulty explaining
these robust patterns as products of socialization: children observe their parents behaving in a pleasant, affectionate manner and come to
adopt the same disposition themselves. However, as Harris (1995) pointed out, much of the research examining parental-offspring
congruence in disposition has failed to control for an important alternative hypothesis: children are similar to their parents because of
their genetic relatedness to the parents, not because of how they were socialized. To the extent that researchers in this area have failed to
entertain (and, consequently, to control for) such an alternative, therefore, they may run the risk of misattributing—or at least,
overattributing—the observed similarity between parents and children to a social influence, when a non-social influence is also
operative.

Passage:
Read the following passage:
The ùber philosopher Bertrand Russell presents a particularly toxic variant of my surprise jolt in his illustration of what people in his
line of business call the Problem of Induction or Problem of Inductive Knowledge—certainly the mother of all problems in life.
Consider a turkey that is fed every day. Every single feeding will firm up the bird's belief that it is the general rule of life to be fed every
day by friendly members of the human race "looking out for its best interests," as a politician would say. On the afternoon of the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving, something unexpected will happen to the turkey. It will incur a revision of belief.
What can a turkey learn about what is in store for it tomorrow from the events of yesterday? A lot, perhaps, but certainly a little less
than it thinks, and it is just that "little less" that may make all the difference. The turkey problem can be generalized to any situation
where the same hand that feeds you can be the one that wrings your neck.
Let us go one step further and consider induction's most worrisome aspect: learning backward. Consider that the turkey's experience
may have, rather than no value, a negative value. It learned from observation, as we are all advised to do (hey, after all, this is what is
believed to be the scientific method). Its confidence increased as the number of friendly feedings grew, and it felt increasingly safe even
though the slaughter was more and more imminent. Consider that the feeling of safety reached its maximum when the risk was at the
highest! But the problem is even more general than that; it strikes at the nature of empirical knowledge itself. Something has worked in
the past, until—well, it unexpectedly no longer does, and what we have learned from the past turns out to be at best irrelevant or false, at
worst viciously misleading.

FIGURE 1: ONE THOUSAND AND ONE DAYS OF HISTORY

A turkey before and after Thanksgiving.

It would appear to a quoting dilettante—i.e., one of those writers and scholars who fill up their texts with phrases from some dead
authority—that, as phrased by Hobbes, "from like antecedents flow like consequents." Those who believe in the unconditional benefits
of past experience should consider this pearl of wisdom allegedly voiced by a famous ship's captain:
But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident. . . of any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in
all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in

disaster of any sort.

Read the following passage:
ABC Ltd is a beverages company which markets and sells six products (Product 1 to Product 6) in Tier-I cities of India. The sales are
managed by a team of five sales managers (Raj, Roy, Ravi, James and Rishab) who report to Assistant Vice President of Sales. Each
sales manager manages a separate territory. They are given half yearly product-wise target and rewarded with gold points for good
performance or penalized with red points for underperformance. They are assessed for each product separately. They earn one gold point
if performance for a product is equal to or more than 100% but less than 150%. They earn one more gold point if performance is equal
to or more than 150%. These points are considered for promotion. If they earn gold points in two or more products, they get one extra
bonus gold point. In case they underperform in a product (i.e. less than 100%), one gold point is deducted provided they have earned
through performance in any other product/products but in case they have not earned any gold point they are given a red point. Hence, at
the end of assessment, each sales manager can have either gold points or red points, depending on their performance and penalties in six
products.

DTechno, a small firm, has eight employees (Employee IDs 1001 to 1008) working in three departments (Department A, Department B
and Department C) who are involved in various planning and execution processes of the firm. Department C has more employees than
other two departments. Most of these employees are involved in both, planning and execution processes, whereas remaining employees
are involved in either planning or execution processes only. Employees are rated for their performance using six Key Performance
Indicators (KPI), three indicators for performance in three planning processes (Planning KPI1 to Planning KPI3) and three indicators for
performance in execution processes (ExecutionKPI1 to ExecutionKPI3). Rating varies from zero to ten where ten indicates best
performance (Fig A and Fig B). Planning Average Rating is derived as average of all three Planning KPI Ratings and Execution Average
Rating is average of all three Execution KPI Ratings (Fig C). Final Weighted Rating is weighted sum of Planning Average Rating and
Execution Average Rating. Each department uses its own weightages for planning and execution KPIs to calculate Final Weighted
Rating . One of the departments gives 40% weightage to Planning Average Rating & 60% to Execution Average Rating, second
department gives 30% & 70% and third department gives 80% & 20%. Final Weighted Rating of all employees is shown in Fig.D
