XAT 2020 — VARC Question 1
Carefully read the paragraph below:
A map is a useful metaphor for our brain when talking about _______ because at its most basic level our brain __________to be our atlas of sorts, a system of routes _______to navigate us toward just one destination: staying alive!
From the options below, choose the set that MOST appropriately fills up the blanks.
Answer & solution
Perception, evolved, designed
- B
Understanding, progressed, shaped
- C
Connections, changed, molded
- D
Design, developed, shaped
- E
Comprehension, metamorphosed, designed
The first blank needs a word that means "the way it is understood" so from the options it can be either perception, understanding or comprehension. In the second blank, the word we require is one that means develop, but as it concerns the human brain, it will make more sense to use the word evolve (gradually develop).
Hence, option (a).
