All Bangladesh IBA BBA Live Exam Sample Questions

Language and Communication Section:


Read the passage and select the best answers for the questions that follow. Some questions are
about particular sentences or parts of sentences and ask you to improve sentence structure or
word choice. Other questions ask you to consider organization and development. In choosing
answers, follow the requirements of standard written English.

(1).Bizarre and mysterious events are things that happen all the time. (2).We have all had
experiences that seemed supernatural, like unexpectedly meeting a long-lost friend when it was
the day after dreaming about that friend. (3).Some people refer to these types of events as
miracles. (4).Is there any scientific explanation for miracles?

(5).Professor Littlewood defined a miracle as an event with a probability of one in a million.


(6).It is unlikely that you would ever see a miracle, right? (7).Well, Littlewood's Law of Miracles
states that, for most people, miracles happen roughly once a month. (8).The proof of Littlewood's
law is very simple. (9).He started by estimating that most people are active—at work or school,
interacting with other people—at least 8 hours each day. (10).During this period, we see and hear
things almost constantly; Littlewood estimated one new event per second. (11).These events add
up fast because 1 per second for 8 hours equals 30,000 per day, or one million in one month.

(12).So if people are exposed to one million events per month, and a miracle is a one-in-a-
million event, then we all experience a miracle once a month.

Analytical Section
26. Cheever College offers several online courses via remote computer connection, in
addition to traditional classroom-based courses. A study of student performance at
Cheever found that, overall, the average student grade for online courses matched that for
classroom-based courses. In this calculation of the average grade, course withdrawals were
weighted as equivalent to a course failure, and the rate of withdrawal was much lower for
students enrolled in classroom-based courses than for students enrolled in online courses.

If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true of Cheever
College?

A. Among students who did not withdraw, students enrolled in online courses got higher grades,
on average, than students enrolled in classroom-based courses.
B. The number of students enrolled per course at the start of the school term is much higher, on
average, for the online courses than for the classroom-based courses.
C. There are no students who take both an online and a classroom-based course in the same
school term.
D. Among Cheever College students with the best grades, a significant majority take online,
rather than classroom-based, courses.
E. Courses offered online tend to deal with subject matter that is less challenging than that of
classroom-based courses.
27. The element ytterbium increases its electrical resistance when subject to high
mechanical stresses. This property has made it an indispensable component in a medical
tool designed to measure the stress on bones, which can guide physicians in setting broken
bones. Unfortunately, ytterbium is rare, found in only a few meager sources around the
world. A steep market demand will cause the price to skyrocket, and this technology so
helpful to physicians will become unaffordable.Which of the following, if true, most
seriously weakens the argument above?

A. Just one mining company controls all the ytterbium that is imported into the United States,
where these medical tools are manufactured.
B. The process of extracting pure ytterbium from its ores, euxenite and xenotime, is very
expensive and involves strong acids.
C. Ytterbium is also used as an additive, in small quantities, to stainless steel and solid-state
lasers.
D. Some common alloys of tin also increase their electrical resistance under mechanical loads.
E. The largest source of ytterbium is in a relatively remote region of China.

28.Tall children can generally reach high shelves easily. Short children can generally reach
high shelves only with difficulty. It is known that short children are more likely than are
tall children to become short adults. Therefore, if short children are taught to reach high
shelves easily, the proportion of them who become short adults will decrease.A reasoning
error in the argument is that the argument

A. attributes a characteristic of an individual member of a group to the group as a whole


B. presupposes that which is to be proved
C. refutes a generalization by means of an exceptional case
D. assumes a causal relationship where only a correlation has been indicated
E. takes lack of evidence for the existence of a state of affairs as evidence that there can be no
such state of affairs

29. Myrna: People should follow diets in which fat represents no more than 30 percent of
total calories, not the 37 percent the average diet in this country contains.Roland: If
everyone in the country followed you recommendation during his or her entire life, just 0.2
percent would lengthen their live at all, and then only by an average of 3 months.
Modifying our diet is not worthwhile. A lifetime of sacrifice spent eating an unappealing
low-fat diet is too high a price to pay for the chance of extending that sacrifice for 3
months.Myrna: But for everyone who dies early from a high-fat diet, many more people
suffer from serious chronic diseases because they followed such diets.Myrna responds to
Roland by:

A. disputing the correctness of the facts cited by Roland and offering facts that she considers
correct
B. showing that the factors considered by Roland are not the only ones relevant in evaluating her
recommendation
C. demonstrating that the statistics used by Roland to dispute her recommendation are inaccurate
D. suggesting that Roland’s evidence derives from unreliable sources
E. pointing out that Roland’s argument assumes the very proposition it sets out to prove

famous poets and famous painters is most likely because __________.Which of the
following, if true, most logically completes the argument?

A. most common problems with the human eye develop only after the age of 40.
B. the appreciation for both poetry and fine painting tends to mature and develop later in life.
C. writing poetry draw on both the right and left cerebral hemispheres, while painting is almost
completely a right hemispheric process.
D. many famous classical composers, such Schubert, also died before reaching the age of 40, and
Schubert often set poetry to music in his songs.

gain fame only as they age.
