Admission Test Section One : Verbal Sample Questions:
1. Always read the meter dials from the right to the left. This procedure is much easier, especially if any of
the dial hands are near the zero mark. If the meter has two dials, and one is smaller than the other, it is
not imperative to read the smaller dial since it only registers a small amount. Read the dial at the right first.
As the dial turns clockwise, always record the figure the pointer has just passed. Read the next dial to the
left and record the figure it has just passed. Continue recording the figures on the dials from right to left.
When finished, mark off the number of units recorded. Dials on water and gas meters usually indicate the
amount each dial records.

4. The Trojan War is one of the most famous wars in history. It is well known for the tenyear duration, for the
heroism of a number of legendary characters, and for the Trojan horse. What may not be familiar,
however, is the story of how the war began. According to Greek myth, the strife between the Trojans and
the Greeks started at the wedding of Peleus, King of Thessaly, and Thetis, a sea nymph. All of the gods
and goddesses had been invited to the wedding celebration in Troy except Eris, goddesses of discord.
She had been omitted from the guest list because her presence always embroiled mortals and immortals
alike in conflict. To take revenge on those who had slighted her, Eris decided to cause a skirmish. Into the
middle of the banquet hall, she threw a golden apple marked "for the most beautiful." All of the goddesses
began to haggle over who should possess it.
The gods and goddesses reached a stalemate when the choice was narrowed to Hera, Athena, and
Aphrodite. Someone was needed to settle the controversy by picking a winner. The job eventually fell to
Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, who was said to be a good judge of beauty. Paris did not have an easy
job. Each goddess, eager to win the golden apple, tried aggressively to bribe him. "I'll grant you vast
kingdoms to rule, "promised HerA. "Vast kingdoms are nothing in comparison with my gift," contradicted
AthenA. "Choose me and I'll see that you win victory and fame in war." Aphrodite outdid her adversaries,
however. She won the golden apple by offering Helen, Zeus' daughter and the most beautiful mortal, to
Paris. Paris, anxious to claim Helen, set off for Sparta in Greece. Although Paris learned that Helen was
married, he accepted the hospitality of her husband, King Menelasu of Sparta, anyway. Therefore,
Menelaus was outraged for a number of reasons when Paris departed, taking Helen and much of the
king's wealth back to Troy. Menelaus collected his loyal forces and set sail for Troy to begin the war to
reclaim Helen.
