It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice Usually on the basis of an interview. There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate’s likely performance. The main argument in favor of the interview—and it is, perhaps, a good argument—is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but With the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary provided she has a pleasant personality. It is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employee. Candidates who interview well tend to be quite confident, but never boastful; direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behavior. They are either very shy or over- confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt. What is the author’s attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure

A. Positive.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Objective.
Dismayed.

We are all consumers. Every time we make a purchase, however humble, we are consciously or unconsciously using our power to choose. Since art is involved in most of the objects seen and used every day, one of the great needs of the consumer is knowledge of the principles fundamental to good taste. Good taste, in the field of art, is the application of the principles of design to the problems in life where appearances as well as utility are a consideration. With the development of our appreciation of these principles, the meaning of the term "principles of design" broadens and deepens. These principles are never static. They should be regarded as flexible guides to be used in producing a desired result. It has been said that good taste is doing unconsciously the right thing, at the right time, in the right way. Good taste in art can be acquired by applying the principles of beauty deliberately until, the time is reached when the right thing is done unconsciously. Good taste, then, includes the selection and arrangement of all our belongings—our communal as well as our personal possessions. For the sake of economy as well as beauty, it is important that every individual should understand and apply these principles of art. Since the appearance of the things we acquire causes us to enjoy some of them permanently, while others please for only a little while, it is an advantage to be able to judge discriminately. Beauty is determined not by the cost but by the quality of the objects chosen. Most people who enjoy the effect of richness would like to know how to appreciate the restraint, which marks the difference between the rich and the gaudy, while others who like simple things wish to recognize the point where plainness ceases to be beautiful and becomes monotonous and unimaginative. Training will show where merely a variation of proportions or the addition of some simple note of contrast will result in a quality and beauty that might otherwise be lacking. Which of the following is TRUE of the first paragraph

A. Designers place more emphasis on appearance than on utility.
B. Consumers apply principles of design consciously when buying things.
C. The principles of design inevitably change as time goes by.
D. Consumers often find it hard to acquire a good taste in art.
