'He who hesitates is lost' is a well-known proverb. A leader who cannot decide on a plan of action will not be able to accomplish anything worthwhile. Indecision leads to confusion because people do not know what to do. Prompt decision-making is of great use in an emergency. A young doctor once had a patient who complained of intense pain. The doctor consulted two other doctors to find out if an operation should be performed. The other doctors felt that the patient's condition should be observed for a few days. But the young doctor, who felt responsible for the patient, examined him once again and decided to operate immediately When the operation was performed, the other doctors realised that a delay of even a few hours would have proved fatal to the patient. A prompt decision by the young doctor saved the life of his patient.We are often faced with difficult problems. It is up to us to take prompt decisions that could make the difference between success and failure. We must be able to say 'yes' or 'no' without delay, and no 'maybe' or 'perhaps' after hours of deliberation.This does not mean we should say 'yes' or 'no' without thinking. We must cultivate the ability to quickly think out all the favourable and unfavourable circumstances of a situation and then decide whether we should say 'yes' or 'no'. To linger over a decision for days and months will get us nowhere. Hence, prompt decision-making is very important, if one wants to achieve success.How should we decide 'Yes' or 'No' in an emergency? |
| A. | Promptly without thinking. |
| B. | By consulting others. |
| C. | By pondering over again and again. |
| D. | By thinking out all the favourable and unfa vourable results, but promptly, of course. |

Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follows.While it is true that there is no law that compels us to say please, there is a social practice much older and much more sacred than any law which enjoins us to be civil. And the first requirement of civility is that we should acknowledge a service. "Please and Thank you" are the small exchanges with which we pay our way as social beings. They are the little courtesies by which we keep the machine of life oiled and running smoothly. They put intercourse upon the basis of a friendly cooperation, and easy give and take instead of on the basis of superiors dictating to inferiors. It is a very vulgar mind that would wish to command where he can have the service for the asking and have it with willingness and good feeling instead of resentment.According to the author: |
| A. | we should not say "please" as it is against the law. |
| B. | we may or may not say "please" according to our mood. |
| C. | we must say "please" as it is a civilised custom, |

The timing couldn't have been better. It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the Rio Olympics a sports film - Haria Yadav: Born To Swim - on an Indian child swimmer, should hit the screens. What's more significant, however, is that Haria Yadav manages to break away from a whole lot of principle arcs and formulae even while remaining squarely within the conventions of a typical Indian sports film.It is not weighed down by the burden of nationalism; in fact it inverts and questions it. It is not quite about winning for India. Then there is the 'triumph of the underdog' cliche. Yes there is an underprivileged child at the heart of the film but we don't wallow in the squalor of his slum life in Ranchi, nor do we celebrate his rise up from the bottom of the heap. It is about how India can actually crush its own hope for medals, trample a champion on the margins of the society than help him blossom. In fact it also makes us debate whether it is entirely ethical in dreaming of a champion in a mere five year old? For a change, it's also good not to have Mumbai and Delhi as the centre of action in a Hindi film. A new filmmaker from Jharkhand comes up with an assured debut-nicely paced, well crafted and entirely engaging. A film that is rooted in the state, brings alive the sights, sounds, lingos, colours and flavours of Jharkhand, and yet manages to speak to all.Yes the film is on the wonder boy from the state, Haria Yadav, but it would not be quite right to describe it as a biopic. It is not about that talented little boy but the circus that got built around him. The boy, who wets his bed, can't even tie his shoelaces and can hardly comprehend the significance of swimming as a sport and carrier.Like another good sports film, Paan Singh Tomar, the world of Haria is riddled with complexities, at the heart of which is his coach Biplab Das. The ambitious man drives a five year old round the bend relentlessly, pushes him to the limits yet cares enough to get him a new swimsuit, feeds him almonds and apples and cries silently on getting separated from him.Much rests on Aryaan Kapoor's seemingly effortless performance as ajudo coach who trains 22 orphans in his hostel and also runs a dhaba and a salon to make ends meet. Never once does Aryaan appear to act and finely balances out Biplab - neither a hero, nor a villain, just a human being with flaws and warts. There is a fine line that separates ambition from obsession, a visionary from an opportunist and Aryaan's Biplab stands very well on it. The best bit about the film is how it looks at these grey zones without being judgmental.In context of the passage, which of the following statements is correct? |
| A. | Hariya Yadav is an orphan staying in the hostel run by Biplab Das. |
| B. | Aryaan Kapoor is solely responsible for bringing all the complexities in Hariya's life. |
| C. | It is the excess ambition coupled with obsession on part of his coach that burns out Hariya to the extent of being nowhere. |
| D. | Hariya Yadav is a swimmer coached by a judo trainer. |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» E. None of these | |
