Joint Management Entrance Test JMET test has been discontinued. It has Been replaced by the CAT Exam.

CAT Exam question paper

Section : Verbal Ability

DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the passage and answer the question based on it.

Question No. : 1
Understanding where you are in the world is a basic survival skill, which is why we, like most species come hard-wired with
specialized brain areas to create congnitive maps of our surroundings. Where humans are unique, though, with the possible
exception of honeybees, is that we try to communicate this understanding the world with others. We have along history of
doing this by drawing maps the earliest version yet discovered were scrawled on cave walls 14,000 years ago. Human cultures
have been drawing them on stone tablets, papyrus, paper and now computer screens ever since.

Given such a long history of human map-making, it perhaps surprising that is only within the last few hundred years that north
has been consistently considered to be at the top. In fact, for much of human history, north almost never appeared t the top,
according to Jerry Brotton, a map historia North was rarely put at the top for the simple fact that north is where darkness
comes from, he says. West is also very unlikely o be put at the top because west is where the sun disappears.

Confusingly, early Chinese maps seem to buck this trend. But, Brotton, says, even though they did have compasses at the time,
that isnt the reason that they placed north at the top. Early Chinese compasses were actually oriented to point south, which
was considered to be more desirable than deepest darkest north. But in Chinese maps, the emperor, who lived in the north of
the country was always put at the top of the map, with everyone else, his loyal subjects, looking up towards him. “In Chinese
culture the Emperor looks south because its where the winds come from, its a good direction. North is not very good but you
are in a position of the subjection to the emperor, so you look up to him,” says Brotton.

Given that each culture has a very different idea of who, or what, they should look upto its perhaps not surprising that there is
very little consistency in which way early maps pointed. In ancient Egyptian times the top of the world was east, the position of
sunrise. Early Islamic maps favoured south at the top because most of the early Muslim cultures were north of Mecca, so they
imagined looking up (south) towards it Christian maps from the same era (called Mappa Mundi) put east at the top, towards
the Garden of Eden and with Jerusalem in the centre.

So when did everyone get together and decide that north was the top? Its tempting to put it down to European explorers like
Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Megellan who were navigating by the North Star. But Brotton argues that these early
explorers didnt think of the world like that at all. When Columbus describes the world it is in accordance with east being at the
top, he says Columbus says he is going towards paradise, so his mentality is from a medieval mappa mundi. Weve got to
remember, adds Brotton, that at the time, no one knows what they are doing and where they are going.
