Test Name : Earth and Environmental Sciences ☰ 1:28:29 Question 10: COMPREHENSION Read the following unedited passage and pick the incorrect statement(s) among the options provided. Damage caused by debris flows occurs during the transportation of material and in deposition zones. Study on the material properties and their relationship with the debris flow characteristics is lacking. In the previous studies, researchers have attempted to identify the relationship between the engineering properties of material and debris flow traits. If a debris flow has a larger mean particle diameter, more coarse grains are contained in a debris flow, and the flow has higher kinetic energy. If the plasticity index of the soil is low, which is occur when the difference between the plastic limit and liquid limit is small, the soil may quickly change from semi solid to liquid state. This may cause huge decrease in the cohesion and angle of internal friction which can lead to slope instability. Other studies have identified that the increase in soil moisture content may contribute to debris flow occurrence by the development of pore pressure in the soil. A. There have been some attempts to determine how material properties affect debris flow traits, but none to determine how they affect debris flow characteristics. B. The mean particle diameter of debris flow depends on the kinetic energy of the flow, and such flow has a higher proportion of coarse grains. C. A lower plasticity index corresponds to a smaller difference between the plastic limit and liquid limit, and soil with low plasticity index may pass from the semi-solid to the liquid state rapidly. D. In some previous studies, researchers have used the development of pore pressure in the soil to identify that increase in the moisture content of soil results in debris flows. Less

Test Name : Earth and Environmental Sciences ☰ 1:27:40 Question 16: Select the options that would NOT be suitable for the following unedited sentence: The effect of pH on the adsorption in Cr(III) on natural bentonite was evaluated. A. “effect” should be revised to “affect” B. “of pH” should be revised to “by pH” C “on the” should be revised to “from the” D. “in Cr(III)” should be revised to “of Cr(III)” Less

Test Name : Earth and Environmental Sciences ☰ 1:26:54 Question 22: Select all options that have NO grammatical errors. A. The main objectives of this study are to examine the potential of hydrocarbon generation in high-maturity marine II-type kerogen on the quantitative hydrogenation process, which involve different catalysts under closed system conditions. B. The drying coefficient of the generated gas decreases significantly with the increasing yield of heavy hydrocarbon gas, and the organic carbon in highly mature kerogen is hydrogenated to produce an alkane, CO2, and other gas components. C. In contrast, the fabricated disk-shaped fuel cell exhibited as a linear relationship between the output and the glucose concentration; therefore, this result agrees well with that obtained in the previous study. D. Lewan et al. and Seewald et al. confirmed that the contribution of exogenous H plays a key role in hydrocarbon generation and the distribution of underground hydrocarbon components. Less

Well... sorry cactus. That's not what it said. I think you just reworded it for your own convenience. Less

They kept asking me if I'm planning for a baby.

I am not sure if the questions posed were for the benefit of the organization but it truly helped me understand the unprofessionalism in there. what do you mean by stability? do you expect people to retire from Cactus once they join? what is the longest time you expect an employee to stick to the same company? i dont think it is is either in benefit of the company or that of the employee to stick on forever. I believe that asking such questions was not done on purpose, but because of a lack of training and awareness Nevertheless, thanks for letting us all know about the organisation right on day one.

Thank you for your reply, Global Talent Acquisition, Cactus Communications. Nevertheless, it is still disappointing to have lost a great opportunity to work with Cactus Communications, due to some silly, baseless "apprehensions". I would have taken it positively had I not cleared the technical tests, and worked towards it. But the reason given to me is not justifiable at all. Less

I had to say no because I didn't want to falter in anyway and lose this great opportunity. Had I known they were so unprofessional, I wouldn't have answered this question. Secondly, if they can ask me such sensitive questions, why didn't they clear their doubt if I will work there for long term or get bored eventually. Less
What will you do if you get offered an amazing opportunity elsewhere that pays more once you have started here?

I would return the question, what would you do if after hiring me you found an amazing candidate that would work twice like me and ask for half as much? Less

There's monetary income and there's psychological income. Very often, the first will satisfy on the short term, but the second carries on for the long term. A good working environment, an exciting and intellectually stimulating job, and a package of good benefits go a long way in making an employee happy. Less

There are many factors to be considered before deciding to move to another workplace, once I have started working at a specific company. They include, but are not limited to employee treatment, company's short term and long term goals, company's social o community policies, opportunities for employees' growth and job stability. A temporary or apparent advantageous opportunity elsewhere might not seem so brilliant if we analyse of these factors. So, I would stay with the company that provides the best working environment, fair compensation and opportunities to grow, as well as a philosophical approach to society as a whole and the community around it that is beneficial and positive.
