Question Nos. 158–162 : Read the following passage carefully and answer the ques tions given below. At this stage of civilization, when many nations are brought into close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand little of one another's historical experience and resulting mentality. It is a fault of the English to expect the people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines of the social and political conditions which have given to each nation its present character. Question No 162..he need for a greater understanding between nations - |

Read passage carefully and answer the questions given below it in the context of the passage. This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth; first, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and after doing so to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust to administer in the manner which, in his judgement, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community-the man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves. Those who would administer wisely must, indeed be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. It were better for mankind that the millions of the rich were thrown into the sea than so spent as to encourage the slothful, the drunken, the unworthy. Of every thousand dollars spent in so - called charity today, it is probable that $ 950 is unwisely spent; so spent, indeed, as to produce the very evils which it proposes to mitigate or cure. A well-known writer of philosophic books admitted the other day that he had given a quarter of a dollar to a man who approached him as he was coming to visit the house of his friend. He knew nothing of the habits of this beggar; knew not how it would be spent improperly. This man professed to be a disciple of Herbert Spencer; yet the quarter - dollar given that night will probably work more injury than, all the money which its thoughtless donor will ever be able to give in true charity will do good. He only gratified his own feelings, saved himself from annoyance-and this was probably one of the most selfish and very worst actions of his life, for in all respects he is most worthy. In bestowing charity, the main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means by which those who desire to improve may do so; to give those who desire to rise the aids by which they may rise; to assist, but rarely or never to do all. Neither the individual nor the race is improved by alms - giving. Those worthy of assistance, except in race cases seldom require assistance. The really valuable men of the race never do, except in cases of accident of sudden change. Everyone has, of course, cases of individuals brought to his own knowledge where temporary assistance can do genuine good, and these he will not overlookThe 'wellknown writer of philosophic books' gave quarter of a dollar to the beggar out of .... a. charity. b. sheer thoughtlessness. c. an urge for self-gratification. d. regard for his teacher-Herbert Spencer. Pick out the correct alternative |
| A. | (a) and (d) only |
| B. | (a) and (b) only |
| C. | (c) and (d) only |
| D. | (a), (b), (c) and (d) |

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below (161-165) : Everyday now, when the tide was out, I went on board the ship. Gradually I brought away all the sails and the rigging. I even brought some iron cables, but these proved to be too heavy for my raft. On the way back to the shore, it turned over and the cables fell into the sea. However, when the tide was out, I was able to recover the cables one by one. On one of my trips I was very pleased to discover some more food, including sugar, flour and bread. Very soon I had been on the island for a fortnight and had made, eleven trips to the ship. On my last trip of all I noticed a cupboard which I had previously overlooked. In it were three razors, a large pair of scissors and a dozen good knives and forks. There was also some European money, worth about thirty-six pounds in all. By now I had taken everything from the ship which was of value to me, and I began to consider where I should live on the island. My tent was on rather low ground near to the sea and I did not think that it would be healthy to live there for very long. There were four points that I had to bear in mind in choosing the site of my home. First of all, I needed to find a place which would be healthy and near some fresh water. Secondly, there ought to be protection from the heat of the sun. Thirdly, I had to be safe from attacks by wild animals. Last of all, I needed to have a view of the sea so that, if any ship should chance to come near to the island, I would not miss it.164.Choose the correct alternative to fill in the blank.

Question No. 186 to 190 : At a given moment the eye of faith must have observed the nibbling of the demoniacal serpent. For suddenly and simultaneously all those on the lowest steps of the Ghats threw themselves into the water and began to wash and gargle, to their prayers and blow their noses, to spit and drink. A numerous band of police abbreviated their devotions and their bath in the interest of the crowd behind. The front of the waiting queue was a thousand yards wide; but a million people were waiting. The bathing must have gone on uninterruptedly the whole day. Time passed, the serpent went on nibbling imperceptibly at the sun. The Hindus counted their beads and prayed, made ritual gestures, ducked under the sacred slime, drank, and were moved on by the police to another installment of the patient million. We rowed up and down, taking snapshots. West is west. In spite of the serpent, the sun was uncommonly hot on our backs. After a couple of hours on the river, we decided that we had had enough, and landed. The narrow lanes that lead from the Ghats to the open streets in the centre of the town were lined with beggars, more or less holy. They sat on the ground with their begging bowls before them; the charitable, as they passed, would throw a few grains of rice into the each of the bowls. By the end of day the beggars might, with luck, have accumulated a square meal. We pushed our way slowly through the thronged alleys. From an archway in front of us emerged a sacred bull. The nearest beggar was dozing at his post-those who eat little sleep much. The bull lowered its muzzle to the sleeping man's bowl, made a scouring movement with its black tongue, and a morning' charity had gone. The beggar still dozed. Thoughtfully chewing, the Hindu totem turned back the way it had come and disappeared. Being stupid and having no imagination, animals often behave far more sensibly than men. Efficiently and by instinct they do the right, appropriate thing at right moment- eat when they are hungry, look for water when they feel thirst, make love in the mating season, rest of play when they have leisure. Men are intelligent and imaginative; they look backwards andahead; they invent ingenious explanation for observed phenomena; they devise elaborate and roundabout means for the achievement of remote ends. Their intelligence, which has made them the masters of the world, often causes them to act like imbeciles. No animal, for example, is clever and imaginative enough to suppose that an eclipse is the work of a serpent devouring the sun. That is the sort of explanation that could occur only in human mind. And only human being would dream of making ritual gestures in the hope of influencing, for his own benefit, the outside world. While the animal, obedient to its instinct, goes quietly about its business, man, being endowed with reason and imagination, wastes half his time and energy in doing things that are completely idiotic. In time, it is true, experience teaches him that magic formulas and ceremonial gestures do not give him what he wants. But until experience has taught him and he takes a surprisingly long time to learn, man's behaviour is in many respects far sillier than of the animal.186. How could beggars have a square meal? |
| A. | due to the charity of the people. |
| B. | they would collect the grains of rice from the road. |
| C. | they would sit on the road and not allow anyone to go ahead without taking rice from them. |
| D. | A million people were in queue to give them rice. |
