6. An example of a Critical Reasoning Question
Directions for Question: For each blank select one entry from the corresponding
column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.
Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more
his (i)__________ as an artist increased, the more (ii)__________ his
life became.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
(A) temperance (D) tumultuous
(B) notoriety (E) providential
(C) eminence (F) dispassionate
The correct answer is choice C (eminence) and choice D (tumultuous).

7. An example of a Sentence Correction Question
Directions for Question: Select the two answer choices that, when used to complete
the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed
sentences that are alike in meaning.
Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the
work as __________.
1. orthodox
2. eccentric
3. original
4. trifling
5. conventional
6. innovative
The word "Although" is a crucial signpost here. The work contains some pioneering
ideas, but apparently it is not overall a pioneering work. Thus the two words that
could fill the blank appropriately are "original" and "innovative." Note that
"orthodox" and "conventional" are two words that are very similar in meaning, but
neither one completes the sentence sensibly.
Thus the correct answer is choice C (original) and choice F (innovative).

8. An example of a Reading Comprehension Question
Directions for Question: Each of the passages given below is followed by a set of
questions. Choose the best answer to each question.
The painter is now free to paint anything he chooses. There are scarcely any
forbidden subjects, and today everybody is prepared to admit that a painting of
some fruit can be as important as a painting of a hero dying. The Impressionists
did as much as anybody to win this previously unheard-of freedom for the
artist. Yet, by the next generation, painters began to abandon the subject
altogether, and began to paint abstract pictures. Today the majority of pictures
painted are abstract…….Contd…..
When a culture is insecure, the painter chooses his subject on the basis of:
1. The prevalent style in the society of his time.
2. Its meaningfulness to the painter.
3. What is put in front of the easel.
4. Past experience and memory of the painter
The above is just a sample illustration of the type of questions that appear in GMAT. Since a
Reading Comprehension takes up greater space, a complete passage could not be
accommodated in the slide.
