Section- B (Qualitative Reasoning) Questions 25 to 42
(Questions 25-30) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
The cleaner’s name
During their last year at school, a teacher gave his students a questionnaire about Life Skills. One conscientious student had breezed through the questions until he read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans at your floor in the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen the cleaner several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would he know her name? He handed in his paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, the student asked if the last question was important. “Absolutely", said the teacher. "In your career, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is learn their name, smile and say "hello."
That afternoon, the student found the cleaner. “I wanted to thank you for the work you do,” he said. “May I ask your name?”
