This part was really hard.. specially the passages are really tough…there are two passages…

TIPS:- read the passage once with full concentrtin.. u dnt have to under stnd the whole meaning.. just read it.. if u read it i’m assuring u…u can answer it… because qstions are based on the lines of the passage… if u read each lines atleast once u can answer… dnt leave the passage as well as hope if u cant understand it… There are qstins like find the correct statement. find the wrong sentence. these are really easy.. go through the grammars…dats it.

d)none of these (this is an EXAMPLE….u can do it by own)

3)odd man out Just do Agarwal…dats it…enough…there are some pictures..u have find the odd man. reallly funny…some pictures contain cartoon figures…really easy…
N.B. one thing i want to add…there are no negetive marks…i’m sure CTS doesnt give -ve marks for wrong answers…. so answer all qstions…try to go for option B or C…it is always shown dat max answers are of option B and C….Go for it…
