SSC CPO - 3 Oct 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q5

Back to paper

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

We started our research into organisational and personal excellence by studying a slightly different topic. We figured that if we could learn why certain people were more effective than others, then we could learn exactly what they did, clone it and pass it on to others. We asked people to identify who they thought were their most effective colleagues. In fact, over the past twenty-five years, we have asked over twenty thousand people to identify the individuals in their organisations who could really get things done. We wanted to find those who were not just influential but who were far more influential than the rest.

Which real life situation can be the most appropriate to be inferred from the passage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Jassie is an efficient employee whose work ethics can be a case study to learn more about organisational and personal excellence.

  • Based on the passage, it can be inferred that the researchers conducted a study to identify individuals within organizations who were exceptionally effective in getting things done.

  • The purpose of the study was to understand why certain people were more effective than others and to learn from their behaviors and practices in order to pass on that knowledge to others.

  • Therefore, a real-life situation that can be inferred from the passage is that Jassie, an efficient employee, could serve as a case study to learn more about organizational and personal excellence.
