  1. Question 1

    Q1. The trainee assumed silence meant rejection, unaware that the panel debated scoring criteria before releasing shortlists the next dawn. Which inference about the trainee is most justified?

    • A) The trainee misread a delayed procedural step as personal failure
    • B) The panel rejected trainees who stayed silent
    • C) Silence proves instant disqualification in every board
    • D) Announcements arrive only during evening hours

    Answer: The trainee misread a delayed procedural step as personal failure

    Explanation: The passage reveals that silence was a normal procedural delay (panel deliberating), not a rejection signal; the trainee therefore misread a routine step as personal failure.
