Passage # 4, Date : 02-FEB-2019

The science of color management developed in response to a very specific need: the successful development of high-volume assembly lines required strict quality control across a number of parameters, including color. Engineers developed measurement devices, such as colorimeters and spectrophotometers, to create profiles of various colors. A profile from a particular machine could then be referenced to a standard color space, or set of definitions for establishing particular colors. In this way, the profile data for a specific color was “standardized” and could be transferred among different color creation and calibration machines, allowing, for example, six automobile assembly lines located in two different states to produce thousands of identically-hued silver sedans over a period of months.
In the 1990's, color management companies began adapting their color measurement expertise to the healthcare field. One company, for example, created a cholesterol test that negated the typical requirements for patients to fast before the test and have blood drawn, making the test much cheaper and easier to administer. Drops of two different liquids, digitonin and an enzyme substrate, are placed sequentially on the patient’s palm. First, the digitonin binds to cholesterol present in the skin; then, the enzyme substrate causes a color-change reaction that is dependent upon the patient’s cholesterol level. The doctor or technician can quantify the precise level by measuring the color change with a spectrophotometer. Such novel applications promise to have as far-reaching an impact on the healthcare industry as the first color measurement products had on early assembly-line businesses nearly a century ago.

Can someone explain why the answer for Q3 is C??
Hi MithilaGauri
Refer to the sentence in the 1st paragraph of the passage - ''A profile from a particular machine could then be referenced to a standard color space, or set of definitions for establishing particular colors.'' - which implies that standard color space is a set of definitions to which a profile could be referenced to. A color profile is not a collection of definitions.
So ans C.

C) Contrasting two different types of technologies.
D) Explaining the technical aspects of a new technology.
E) Comparing the historical development and success of two different industries.
Here we can get to answer A by eliminating the other answer choices - A) Detailing the analogous application of a technology in two different industries.
B) Debating the historical significance of a particular type of technology.
C) Contrasting two different types of technologies.
D) Explaining the technical aspects of a new technology.
E) Comparing the historical development and success of two different industries.
A) First para describes how science of color management has helped Automobile Industry and Healthcare industries. Hence Correct
B) We are not debating anything here, just describing.Hence Incorrect
C) No contrasting also going on here, just describing.Hence Incorrect
D) The para never speaks about technical aspects of the technology. Only they are describing the use of the technology in the real world.Hence Incorrect
E) Again, no comparison just describing.Hence Incorrect

A) A colorimeter can also be used in the color-based cholesterol test.
B) Color management companies will continue to develop healthcare applications.

D) Color management products are applicable to industries beyond automotive and healthcare.
E) Before color management technology was developed, it was difficult to produce a large volume of cars with precisely equal colors.
Here, as soon as we read the first para, we come to know the times before the color technology were difficult - A) A colorimeter can also be used in the color-based cholesterol test.
B) Color management companies will continue to develop healthcare applications.
C) Color management science would not have been developed had the automotive industry not needed the technology.
D) Color management products are applicable to industries beyond automotive and healthcare.

E) color profiles allow companies to apply standardized metrics across an entire product line
Using Elimination method on this -
A) Refer to - Engineers developed measurement devices, such as colorimeters and spectrophotometers, to create profiles of various colors.. Hence Incorrect
B) Yes the technology has been applied to two industries as of now we know from the passage, namely - Automobile and Healthcare. Hence Incorrect
C) Refer to - create profiles of various colors. From this we know, a single color profile is one color and not a collection of definitions. Hence Correct
D) 2nd Para clearly states that First, the digitonin binds to cholesterol present in the skin; then, the enzyme substrate causes a color-change reaction that is dependent upon the patient’s cholesterol level.. Hence Incorrect
E) The whole first para is about this. Hence Incorrect
