Karnataka Management Aptitude Test (KMAT) is an all India level management entrance test and was started with the felt-need to have a single unified test for admissions in the state of Karnataka into professional courses like MBA, PGDM and MCA:

DIRECTIONS for questions 1 to 20: Read the following passages and answer the questions that
follow.
________
When we perceive an object, we automatically tend to label it (like nice, bad, wet, dry, light,
dark, etc). And our mind reacts on the basis of our own mental labelling of an object. No wonder
we tend to react to situations in a subjective manner. All perceived objects are conditioned by
our senses and our own mind. This leads to the dramatic conclusion that we are not and by definition
can never be objective!
Our labelling leads not only to problems like anger and attachment, but also to the more basic
problem that we think we are somehow separate from the outside world. But are we separate
from the outside world?
When we see something – for example a table – it appears to be separate from the rest of the
world, just standing there by itself, but is that correct? How could the table stand there without
the ground supporting it? How could the table exist without a carpenter making it from pieces
of wood? The pieces of wood come from a tree, which comes from a seed, water, soil, air,
the sun and its nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms, etc. Every object needs causes and conditions
to exist, just like we need our parents, food, air, clothes and many more things to exist. In this
way, it becomes impossible to maintain that 'I' am separate from the outside world, however much
it feels that way.

1. The writer says that we can never be objective because:
1] we label all that we possess.
2] we react to situations.
3] we create our own mental labels of objects.
4] we separate ourselves from the outside world.
2. The act of labelling all that we see:
1] is the same for all people.
2] is the same for people belonging to a region.
3] depends upon the situation.
4] depends on our personal conditioning.
3. By giving the example of the table, the writer shows how:
1] the table is an independent entity.
2] all things in this universe are interconnected.
3] a table is actually not a table.
4] objects made of wood cannot be separated from the world.
_
4. The feeling that 'I' am an independent being is not true because:
1] every object needs causes and conditions to exist.
2] we belong to our parents.
3] we are social beings.
4] this is the writer's subjective opinion.
5. According to the writer:
1] the subjective act of labelling leads to emotional problems.
2] nothing in this universe can have a separate existence.
3] human beings are different from objects like a table.
4] [1] and [2].
________
Censorship is the control of forms of human expression; it is sometimes implemented by the government.
The visible motive of censorship is often to stabilize or improve the society that the government
has control over. It is most commonly applied to acts that occur in public circumstances, and
most formally involves the suppression of ideas.
The content of school textbooks is often the issue of debate, since the target audience of school
textbooks is young people, and the term "whitewashing" is the one commonly used to refer to
selective removal of critical or damaging evidence or comment. The representation of every society's
flaws or misconduct is typically downplayed in favour of a more nationalist or patriotic view.
6. According to the writer, censorship is:
1] nothing but a government tool.
2] a controlling device.
3] a waste of time.
4] exclusively for history text books.
7. Another word used to refer to ‘censorship’ in this passage is:
1] suppression.
2] damaging.
3] whitewashing.
4] socialization.
8. The apparent reason for censorship usually is:
1] to stabilize the society.
2] to keep some information secret.
3] to protect governments.
4] to promote patriotism.
_
9. According to the passage, an often debated area of censorship is with regard to:
1] history textbooks for school children.
2] school textbooks.
3] movies screened for children.
4] religious doctrines.
10. The content of school textbooks is open to debate because:
1] this is where most errors occur.
2] the target reader is young and has an impressionable mind.
3] most people read these books.
4] children will not protest against censorship.
________
External factors such as money, prestige or family history can often influence initial career choices.
However, as you discover more about yourself, you may find that the 'right' career choice for
you is driven by more personal factors.
Ultimately the right career decision for you is based on your skills, your achievements, your interests
and your values. The easiest way to start is with your academic achievements at school or at
university. While some employers feel quite strongly that a pattern of achievement in education
is likely to be repeated in later years, most others are interested in far more than a degree certificate
and will look for certain skills in all aspects of a potential employee's life. Advising, coaching,
communicating, analysing, researching and organising are only a few of the hundreds of skills that
you may possess.
Assess your personal values and your interests and having done that, you may not have discovered
the exact career you want to follow, but you will have discovered what you're good at, what
you like and what you value.
11. According to the writer, initially we base our career choices on:
1] what our parents want us to do.
2] the kind of money we wish to earn.
3] our aptitude and skills.
4] [1] and [2].
12. While looking for our first job, if we are not sure of our skills, we should:
1] look at our performance in school and college exams.
2] meet a counselor.
3] find out our interests and values.
4] [1] and [3].
13. For those without job experience, some employers look at academic performance because
1] they trust the school scores.
2] that will give them an idea of your organizing skills.
3] a degree certificate says it all.
4] they see a pattern which they think will be repeated in work-life as well.
_
14. In order to know what we are good at, we should:
1] focus on our academics.
2] evaluate our personal values and interests.
3] move on from one job to another.
4] wait till we grow old enough to understand our skills.
15. Which of the following statements does the writer not say?
1] More than external factors, one should choose a career based on personal reasons.
2] If you don't have skills, you will never find the right career.
3] There are multiple skills that each one of us possesses.
4] Your academic scores can stand you in good stead while seeking a job.
________
Lisa di Antonio, known to the world as Mona Lisa, was born in the slums of Naples in 1479.
Her father was Florentine Nobel Antonio Maria DiNoldo Gherardini. Not much is known about
her childhood. In 1495, at the age of 16, she got married, in Florence, Italy. Being of beauty
and good marriage material, she caught the eye of Florences’ noblest citizen, a wealthy Silk trader
named Francesco del Giocondo, who was 19 years her senior. Lisa became his third wife.
Being poor most of her life, she was now richer than she could have ever imagined. Her husband,
however, was always leaving her alone to go on business trips and never asked her to accompany
him. Lisa decided to make good of her time when she met an old weird painter named Leonardo
da Vinci. It is believed that her husband commissioned the painter to keep Lisa busy while another
story says that she met Leonardo on her own.
She posed in 1503 for Leonardo at the age of 24 on a terrace over looking the mountains. She
was dressed in Florentine fashion which was heavy and burdensome. This began to take its toll
on the model. Da Vinci hired muses, jesters and musicians to keep her mood up and jolly while
he painted. Being painted with oil on pinewood was a hard tedious task. It took 4 years to paint
and even longer to try to get the mouth to look right. The dimension of the painting was
77 x 53 cm. He used a technique he created called 'Sfumato' which is the gradual dissolving of
light and shade. This created the mysterious effect that makes the face look like it is following
you at all times. The portrait is now smaller since two columns were cut off. This accounts for
the terrace not being seen.
In 1507, Lisa's husband asked her to finally accompany him on a trip to Calabria. She left as
soon as she packed her things, leaving her painting unfinished. Leonardo waited years before he
finally gave up. Leonardo took the painting to France in 1516 and sold it to King of France, King
Francis I, for $105,000, and was placed in his castle in Amboise. Leonardo died 3 years after
selling his prized possession. The painting however over the years made its way to Fontainbleau,
Paris, Versailles, and then to the private collection of Ludwig XIV. After the revolution, the painting
was hung in the Louvre. Napoleon took his turn at owning the portrait and had it hanging in
his bedroom. Of course, when he was banished from Naples, it then returned to the Louvre again.
Her face was beginning to get a green cast from the varnish that was used in the painting process.
_
Nowhere is it told if the lady herself knew of its acclaim or if she even cared. Her death was
recorded in 1528. But it was for certain that her long and boring stint as a model was worth
every minute to Leonardo, being his most famous painting. Her aloof but alluring smile made its
way through the ages making Mona Lisa one of the most celebrated, copied, stolen and parodied
pieces of art in history.
There is little doubt of Lisa di Antonio's influence through history. So much so that rumors and
theory fly even today. One theory has it that Leonardo included a self-portrait in the painting.
It can be found along the left side while viewing from the forehead along her hairline. It seems
to look like Da Vinci's profile. Another theory is that in the picture it is seen that Lisa isn't wearing
a wedding ring that was very traditional at the time. Did this mean that she was Leonardo's mistress?
This is one of the longest rumors about the masterpiece and its painter. A possible explanation
theory even goes to say that the reason her smile was only slight was because of a problem with
teeth nashing. That through stress she would nash her teeth. Of course the best theory came in
the 16th century. A writer named Firenzuola taught us that for the time period of Mona Lisa,
her smile of slightly parted corners of her mouth was considered a sign of elegance. This certainly
can tell us something of the woman and her existence.
In many ways, she has inspired decades or admirers to react to this mysterious face. In 1911,
she was stolen from the Louvre. It was the biggest art heist in history. An employee, Vinenzo
Peruggia, placed the painting inside of his art smock and simply walked right out of the museum.
It was suggested that he was hired by an Argentine con man, Eduardo de Valierno. It was two
years later, in 1913, that the painting was found while trying to be sold. On December 30, 1956,
a Bolivian, Ugo Ungaza Villegas, stared at the painting for hours. He then threw a rock at the
painting permanently damaging the pigment near the left elbow. In the 60's and in the 70's, the
painting went on tour in New York, Moscow and Tokyo allowing others to see the magnificence
of Leonardo Da Vinci. But now due to international rule, the portrait is prohibited to travel. It
is now housed permanently in the Louvre behind ropes and bullet-proof glass with conditioned
air for protection. The sight of Lisa has also inspired a song in writers, Livingston and Evans,
when they wrote the Nat King Cole classic, Mona Lisa.
For as long as we can view the curious beauty known as Mona Lisa, there will be theories and
wonder. She has inspired history to be curious of the woman not just the sight of a famous painting.
History lost track of Lisa di Antonio herself but her face will be remembered to centuries. As
onlookers, we thank Lisa for being the bored housewife.

1] dispel the myths surrounding Mona Lisa.
2] detail the process of the phenomenal painting of Mona Lisa and its sequential history.
3] decipher the relation between Da Vinci and his creation.
4] track the number of times the painting has been stolen and restored.
17. Which of the following suggests that Mona Lisa was never really interested in her portrait?
1] Da Vinci had to hire musicians and jesters to entertain Mona Lisa while he was painting.
2] Mona Lisa hurried to accompany her husband on a trip without waiting for the painting
to be finished.
3] Lisa never returned to claim the painting in spite of its great reputation as a masterpiece.
4] None of the above.

The Hindi film "Lagaan" may have been made a little earlier if its director had opted for a violent
climax. Ashutosh Gowarikar, writer and director of "Lagaan", was initially turned down by various
producers and financiers. Perhaps his quaint tale about a non-violent triumph over oppression and
humiliation seemed too far from the set formula of commercial cinema. One producer was willing
to take on the project provided Gowarikar changed the story to kill the bad guy in the end. However,
Gowarikar stuck to his convictions and the result is a rather Gandhian film that has become a
run-away hit. This has reinforced a familiar truth that the audience of commercial films is not
as bloodthirsty as many film producers would like to believe. But even more importantly, "Lagaan"
is an example of how defiant and patient creativity can work wonders. For such determination
sometimes breaks down stereotypical notions of what is possible and what people want.
118. The general perception of the audience, according to many producers, is considered to be
revengeful.
119. "Lagaan's" success can be attributed to the fact that Gowarikar stuck to the convention of
the film industry that believes it knows what is possible and what will be popular.
120. Creativity and determination defeated conventional ideas considered to be mandatory for successful
commercial films.
