Directions for questions No. 91 to 95: Read the passage given below and answer.
THE HIDDEN SIDE OF EVERYTHING
It may be sad but not surprising to learn that experts like Snyder can be self–interested to the
point of deceit. But they cannot deceive on their own. Journalists need experts as badly as
experts need journalists. Every day there are newspaper pages and television newscasts to be
filled, and an expert who can deliver a jarring piece of wisdom is always welcome. Working
together, journalists and experts are the architects of much conventional wisdom.
Advertising too is a brilliant tool for creating conventional wisdom. Listerine, for instance, was
invented in the nineteenth century as a powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in distilled
form, as a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn’t a runaway success until t he
1920s, when it was pitched as a solution for “chronic halitosis”– a then obscure medical term for
bad breath. Listerine’s new ads featured forlorn young women and men, eager for marriage but
turned off by their mate’s rotten breath. “Can I be happy with him in spite of that?” one maiden
asked herself. Until that time, bad breath was not conventionally considered such a catastrophe.
But Listerine changed that. As the advertising scholar James B Twitchell writes “Listerine did not
make mouthwash as much as it made halitosis.” In just seven years, the company’s revenues
raised from $ 115, 000 to more that $ 8 million.
However created, the conventional wisdom can be hard to budge. The economist Paul Krugman,
a New York Times, columnist and devout critic of George W Bush, bemoaned this fact as the
President’s reelection campaign got under way in early 2004: “The approved story line about
line about Mr. Bush is that he’s a bluff, honest, plainspoken guy, and anecdotes that fit that
story get reported. But if the conventional wisdom were instead that he’s phony, a sliver–spoon
baby who pretends to be a cow–boy, journalists would have plenty of material to work with.”
26. Listerine is now famous as
a. a medicine to treat various illnesses
b. a floor cleaner
c. a remedy for bad breath
d. George W Bush’s preferred mouth wash
27. The main subject of the passage is

b. George W Bush

b. George W Bush is a “ phony, a silver spoon baby who pretends to be a cowboy”.
