Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Suneet Varma begins his day early. There are meetings lined up for the day with his 10-member core group that includes a four-member Design team, the Business Development manager and the Chief Financial Officer.

The evening is to be spent with his sponsor, champagne maker Moet-Hennesey, discussing the expansion of his business venture to Dubai and Hong Kong. At 30, Varma is the CEO of Suneet Varma Design Pvt. Ltd and also one of India’s leading fashion designers. But not the only one to have “Pvt. Ltd.” suffixed to his name.

Fast realizing that business is not just about selling stuff at weddings and fashion shows, designers are corporatising haute couture. Among the first is Ritu Kumar, with her 25-year-old son Amrish giving the necessary push to move her designer retail chain, Ritu’s, into top gear last year. Amrish, who is the Director (Marketing) of his mother’s enterprise, Ritika Designs Pvt. Ltd, got Mumbai-based Universal Consulting to evaluate the scope of the company and revamp its retailing system. Now, Ritu can sit anywhere in the world and keep a tab on the stages of processing and sale of garments. Says Amrish, “Quantifying this change is difficult, but our production of sales and finished goods to sales ratio are improving every month” .

Designers are turning over a new leaf, hiring professionals for design, business development, marketing and advertising to keep time and cost overruns in check. The payoff is starting to show. Krishna Mehta’s business has grown almost by 60 percent. She discusses sales reports, budgets and marketing strategies with her 35-member team regularly.

Her team feeds the schedule and details on each collection onto a PC – earlier maintained in Mehta’s head and a notebook. And she doesn’t juggle all the decisions, instead alternates between her labels K2 and Oobe and spends the rest of the time on her couture business and meeting clients. “I find it refreshing to be only responsible for my creations, not to think of which magazine to advertise in or what schemes to run in my stores. It’s all taken care of.”

A) New and bold designers ready to experiment

B) Her big team of 35 relies on information technology and computers

B) He has the backing of good sponsors.
C) He has hired professionals to help him expand his business and corporatize it.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
While you might hear, say, Nirvana covering a Leadbelly song, or John Cougar Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen paying lip service to Woody Guthrie, and all manner of bands showing up with acoustic instruments on MTV’s Unplugged show, the influence of traditional folk on today’s rock is pretty small. The “anti-folk” scene of the late 1980s, an attempt by New York musicians to provide an acoustic-based heir of sorts to the hootenannies of the ’50s and ’60s, had minimal impact; the Washington Squares attempting to mimic the “beatnik folk” of Peter, Paul & Mary was a failure on all counts.

Many fine performers of the last couple of decades have been labeled as folk because their arrangements are largely acoustic, but really belong more in the singer-songwriter camp than traditional music; their category is often more a function of the audiences they play for, or the fact that acoustic guitars are at the forefront of their arrangements. Hence you might find Kate Wolf, Lucinda Williams, Tish Hinojosa, Mary McCaslin, Peter Stampfel, the McGarrigle Sisters, Townes Van Zandt and Bill Morrissey in folk sections, although they sing original, at times compelling material about the here and now, and are often not aware to using some electric instruments. Indeed, the music of these above performers is not terribly dissimilar from some artists commonly marketed as rock and pop musicians, such as Joni Mitchell.

Some performers who are in many respects troubadours in the folk tradition, like Michelle Shocked or Phranc, are marketed as rock because that is where their audience is perceived to be; the Eleventh Dream Day offshoot Freakwater was marketed to alternative/indie rock listeners more because of their pedigree than the music, which hearkens in spirit back to the Carter Family.

6) Michelle Shocked is marketed as:
A) Rock
B) Blues
C) Country
D) Jazz

7) The influence of traditional folk on today’s rock is:
A) Huge
B) Pretty small
C) Significant
D) An absolute zero

8) The “anti-folk” scene of the late 1980s:
A) Had minimal impact
C) Proved to be a landmark for change
B) Had a major impact
D) None of the options
