How to Increase Your Accuracy on RC – 3

How to Increase Your Accuracy on RC-3: In the previous two posts, RC-1 and RC-2, we discussed 3 RCs from CAT 2017 Slot – 2 and executed a specific strategy — paragraph to questions — to solve CAT RCs that will increase your accuracy.
In this final post of this series, we will solve the two remaining passages and fine-tune the methods discussed so far.

The GMAT has over the years consistently had two long and two short passages — one para passages — in its Verbal Reasoning section.
The single paragraph RC has never appeared in the Verbal Ability section of the CAT — barring the sole passage in last year’s second slot. Even Slot 1 did not have one. Suffice to say that it seems to be by accident rather than by design.

The passage talks about typewriters and their relevance in the digital age. Despite being rendered obsolete, typewriters still have certain advantages such as privacy, portability, and resistance to algorithms and secret surveillance.

The Advantages of Typewriters

The Russians and some US departments still use typewriters due to their resistance to algorithms and secret surveillance. Additionally, typewriters demand attentiveness and require sorting out ideas and organizing details before typing, eliminating distractions like online shopping, emails, and social media.
