Which of the following is NOT important for a graduate student to achieve academic and professional success?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Having a corporate job.
The passage outlines several key elements that are important for a graduate student’s academic and professional success:
Mastering the subject matter of their program (Paragraph 1)
Developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills (Paragraph 1)
Having a positive attitude along with hard work and dedication (Paragraph 4)
However, having a corporate job is not mentioned in the passage as a requirement or an essential component for success. The passage talks about gaining practical experience through internships, co-op programs, or volunteering, but does not state that having a full-fledged corporate job is necessary for graduate success.
