Cloze Test 1:
Studies (1) the impact of computer models to support
policy-making processes in organisations have (2) that client
involvement in the model-building process is often a (3) for effective
model-building. One important reason is that the process of model-building is
frequently more important than the resulting model. Model-building itself is
largely a (4) process about the problem. Most (5) about the
characteristics of an illstructured problem are gained during the (6) process
of designing a computer model, rather than after the model is finished. Another
important reason is that most information in an organisation (7) in the
mental models of organisation members. To support policymaking in organisation
it is this knowledge which needs to be (8) and represented in the model.
An important topic in client-oriented or (9) model building thus becomes
the (10) of relevant knowledge contained in the mental models of

Cloze Test 2:
In the decade since reforms were introduced, India has achieved
substantial success in the sphere of macroeconomics. Overall growth rate has
been (1) except for the last couple of years. It bears pointing out that
we have now come to view a 6 per cent (2) rate as a slowdown! This is a
far cry from pre-reforms rate of growth of 3 per cent. The price level has by
and large remained (3) both as measured by the WPI and CPI. India’s (4)
of payments position has been comfortable. Exports, while (5) some
sluggishness this fiscal, have been growing. Imports, in spite of (6) liberalisation,
have not gone out of hand. This is amply reflected in the comfortable current
account deficits (CAD); the CAD-to-GDP ratio has remained way below the crisis (7)
that it had achieved in 1991. The rupee has weathered external turbulence
rather well even when East Asia was experiencing (8) difficulties. However,
the one unambiguous Achilles’ heel of the reforms has been the (9) state
of government finances. One of the two crises that India faced in 1990-91 was
the unsustainable imbalance between government revenues and (10).

Cloze Test 3:
The weaker sections of the rural population are mostly from the
socially and economically backward and (1) sections of the village
community. Because of their (2) and financial difficulty, they are not
readily (3) to change their work habits and adopt modern technology. (4)
sure about the traditional methods, they are (5) to take to (6) equipment
and techniques which require some time to get accustomed for (7) work. After
holding a number of group meetings with rural people (8) to different
vocations and spread over the entire country, we can safely say that persons in

Cloze Test 4:
Actually everyday we are engaged in this business of ‘reading’
people. We do it (1). We want to figure others out. So we (2) make
guesses about what others think, value, want and feel and we do so based on our
(3) beliefs and understandings about human nature. We do so because if
we can figure out (4) and intentions of others the possibility of them (5)
or hurting us (6) and this will help us to (7) a lot of unnecessary
pain and trouble. We also make secondguesses about what they will do in future,
how they will (8) if we make this or that response. We do all this
second-guessing based upon our (9) of what we believe about the person’s
inner nature (10) his or her roles and manners. We mind-read their (11)
motives. Also, everyday we misguess and misread. Why? Because of the
complexity, (12), and multidimensional functioning of people. After all,
how well do you ‘read’ your own thoughts, aims, values, motives, beliefs, etc? How
well do you know your own structuring process — your own thinking and (13) styles?
