From option 1 - The best assumption for the claim that 'Pleasure is desirable' is everyone desires pleasure. So it is correct assumption.

From option 2 - The assumption some persons desire pleasure is not correct for the claim that 'Pleasure is desirable'. So it is not correct assumption.

From option 3 - The assumption everyone desires something is not correct for the claim that 'Pleasure is desirable'. So it is not correct assumption.

From option 4 - The assumption pleasure is essential is not correct for the claim that 'Pleasure is desirable'. So it is not correct assumption.

Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.

Additional Information

  1. Read the statement with an approach that the assumptions would be true with regard to the statement.
  2. Do not go too logical with the statements. Analyze the given information and the assumption must only be made based on the information in the statement. Do not over-complicate it.
  3. Common assumptions can always be followed but other than that do not align the statement with General Knowledge or other facts
  4. Use the elimination method if you are unable to apprehend the answer. Read the statement and then the assumptions given in the options, you shall notice that a few of them will most definitely not follow. Eliminate them and then choosing from lesser options may prove to be more convenient
  5. One thing to make a note of is that the assumption is something that the author believes to be true so while choosing the correct option, keep this thought in mind as well. If any option contradicts the statement, then that assumption will not follow.

Q4.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Aesthetic political representation urges us to realize that ‘the representative has autonomy with regard to the people represented’ but autonomy then is not an excuse to abandon one’s responsibility. Aesthetic autonomy requires cultivation of ‘disinterestedness’ on the part of actors which is not indifference. To have disinterestedness, that is, to have comportment towards the beautiful that is devoid of all ulterior references to use – requires a kind of aesthetic commitment; it is the liberation of ourselves for the release of what has proper worth only in itself. 
Q5.The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer: 1. Complex computational elements of the CNS are organized according to a “nested” hierarchic criterion; the organization is not permanent and can change dynamically from moment to moment as they carry out a computational task. 2. Echolocation in bats exemplifies adaptation produced by natural selection; a function not produced by natural selection for its current use is exaptation -- feathers might have originally arisen in the context of selection for insulation. 3. From a structural standpoint, consistent with exaptation, the living organism is organized as a complex of “Russian Matryoshka Dolls” -- smaller structures are contained within larger ones in multiple layers. 4.

Q6.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. The dominant hypotheses in modern science believe that language evolved to allow humans to exchange factual information about the physical world. But an alternative view is that language evolved, in modern humans at least, to facilitate social bonding.

Language meant that things could be explained and that plans and past experiences could be shared efficiently.

It advocated a conservative approach to antitrust enforcement that espouses faith in efficient markets and voiced suspicion regarding the merits of judicial intervention to correct anticompetitive practices. 2. Many industries have consistently gained market share, the lion’s share – without any official concern; the most successful technology companies have grown into veritable titans, on the premise that they advance ‘public interest’. 3.

Q8.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Brown et al. (2001) suggest that ‘metabolic theory may provide a conceptual foundation for much of ecology just as genetic theory provides a foundation for much of evolutionary biology’. One of the successes of genetic theory is the diversity of theoretical approaches and models that have been developed and applied. A Web of Science (v. 5.9. Thomson Reuters) search on genetic* + theor* + evol* identifies more than 12000 publications between 2005 and 2012. Considering only the 10 most - cited papers within this 12000 publication set, genetic theory can be seen to focus on genome dynamics, phylogenetic inference, game theory and the regulation of gene expression. There is no one fundamental genetic equation, but rather a wide array of genetic models, ranging from simple to complex, with differing inputs and outputs, and divergent areas of applicat

The logic of displaying one’s inner qualities through outward appearance was based on a distinction between being a woman and being feminine. 2. 'Appearance' became a signifier of conduct - to look was to be and conformity to the feminine ideal was measured by how well women could use the tools of the fashion and beauty industries. 3. The makeover - centric media sets out subtly and not - so - subtly, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ways to be a woman, layering these over inequalities of race and class. 4. The denigration of working - class women and women of colour often centres on their perceived failure to embody feminine beauty. 5. ‘Woman’ was considered a biological category, but femininity was a ‘process’ by which women be
