Dear Sir/Madam,

I have purchased TopRanker's Bank Of India Officer (Credit) online test series by Rs.175 on 27th May 2018. I have done my payment on yesterday. On that time it showed I would get 10 practice set with in this package of Rs.175, but today on my Toprankers account shows only 5 practice set and then I have to buy it again for further attempt. Can you please clarify or fix this up for me,why do I need to buy it again?
I bought this package to get 10 practice set including 1 free mock test and now it shows I have only 5 practice set and others are locked though on my account it shows total 11 test and 9 yet to attempt. So sir please do all your need and fix this up as early as possible.

Yours sincerely,
Tanima Sarkar

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given set of questions.


The motive force that has carried the psychoanalytic movement to a voluminous wave of popular attention and created for it considerable following among those discontent with traditional methods and attitudes, is the frank direction of the psychological instruments of exploration to the insistent and intimate problems of human relations. However false or however true its conclusions, however weak or strong its arguments, however effective or defective or even pernicious its practice, its mission is broadly humanistic. Psychological enlightenment is presented as a program of salvation. By no other appeal could the service of psychology have become so glorified. The therapeutic promise of psychoanalysis came as the most novel, most ambitious, most releasing of the long procession of curative systems that mark the history of mental healing.


To the contemporary trends in psychology, psychoanalysis actually offered a rebuke, a challenge, a  supplement, though it appeared to ignore them. With the practical purpose of applied psychology directed to human efficiency it had no direct relation and thus no quarrel. The solution of behaviorism, likewise bidding for popular approval by reducing adjustment to a program of conditioning, it inevitably found alien and irrelevant, as the behaviorist in reciprocity found psychoanalytic doctrine mystical, fantastic, assumptive, remote. Even to the cognate formulations of mental hygiene, as likewise in its contacts with related fields of psychology, psychoanalysis made no conciliatory advances. Towards psychiatry, its nearest of kin, it took an unfriendly position, quite too plainly implying a disdain for an unprogressive relative. These estrangements affected its relations throughout the domain of mind and its ills; but they came to head in the practice. 


From the outset in the days of struggle, when it had but a sparse and scattered discipleship, to the present position of prominence, Freudianism went its own way, for the most part neglected by academic psychology.  Of dreams, lapses and neuroses, orthodox psychology had little say. The second reason for the impression made by psychoanalysis when once launched against the tide of academic resistance was its recognition of depth psychology, so much closer to human motivation, so much more intimate and direct than the analysis of mental factors. 


Most persons in trouble would be grateful for relief without critical examination of the theory behind the practice that helped them. Anyone at all acquainted with the ebb and flow of cures – cures that cure cures that fail – need not be told that the scientific basis of the system is often the least important factor. Many of these systems arise empirically within a practice, which by trial, seems to give results. This is not the case in psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis belongs to the typical groups of therapies in which practice is entirely a derivative of theory. Here the pertinent psychological principle reads: “Create a belief in the theory, and the fact will create themselves”.

The distinctive feature of psychoanalysis is that
Options:
A) it provided the laymen with a scientific basis to the theories of psychology.
B) it blasted the popular theory that the conscious mind could be aptly linked the tip of an iceberg.
C) it provided effective means for the cure of mental disorders.
D) it rendered existing trends in psychology defunct.
E) None of these
Solution:
Ans: (c) Psychoanalysis has been referred to a curative system for mental healing.
