Multiple choice

Directions: Analyse the statements given and choose an appropriate answer for the question that follows:

Test takers who want to reappear in various exams should take training from someone who himself has appeared in the retakes at some point in his life. A trainer who has not failed once cannot impart quality skills to the student who has failed. Therefore, the coaching establishments should make sure they hire a bunch of teachers who have themselves taken retakes of various exams.

The above argument rests on the assumption that

  1. effective communication is a prized skill in trainers

  2. people who reappear in an examination learn from experience

  3. a large number of test takers don’t clear the exam the first time

  4. most people make the same mistakes in a given exam

  5. a trainer can learn by appearing for an exam

C Correct answer
Explanation

If a large number of test takers fail in the first attempt, only then does an argument for a trainer who has failed make sense. Engaging teachers for this purpose will be infructuous unless a large number of students have such specific need.
