Besant describing the middle class of the 9th century wrote " In the first place it was for more a class apart. "In no
sense did it belong to society. Men in professions of any kind (except in the Army and Navy) could only belong to
society by right of birth and family connections; men in trade—bankers were still accounted tradesmen—could not
possibly belong to society. That is to say, if they went to live in the country they were not called upon by the county
families and in the town they were not admitted by the men into their clubs, or by ladies into their houses… The
middle class knew its own place, respected itself, made its own society for itself, and cheerfully accorded to rank the
deference due."
Since then, however, the life of the middle classes had undergone great changes as their numbers had swelled and
their influence had increased.
Their already well –developed consciousness of their own importance had deepened. More critical than they had
been in the past of certain aspects of aristocratic life, they wee also more concerned with the plight of the poor and
the importance of their own values of society, thrift, hand work, piety and respectability thrift, hand work, piety and
respectability as examples of ideal behavior for the guidance of the lower orders. Above all they were respectable.
There were divergences of opinion as to what exactly was respectable and what was not. There were, nevertheless,
certain conventions, which were universally recognized: wild and drunker behaviors were certainly not respectable,
nor were godlessness or avert promiscuity, not an ill-ordered home life, unconventional manners, self-indulgence or
flamboyant clothes and personal adornments.
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end in your own words. (20)
The vitality of any teaching, or historical movement, depends upon what it affirms rather than upon what it affirms
rather than upon what it denies, and its survival and continued power will often mean that its positives are
insufficiently regarded by opposing schools. The grand positives of Bentham were benevolence and veracity: the
passion for the relief of man’s estate, and the passion for truth. Bent ham’s multifarious activities, pursued without
abatement to the end of a long life, wee inspired by a "dominant and all-comprehensive desire for the amelioration
of human life"; they wee inspired, too, by the belief that he had found the key to all moral truth. This institution, this
custom, this code, this system of legislation-- does it promotes human happiness? Then it is sound. This theory, this
creed, this moral teaching – does it rightly explain why virtue is admirable, or why duty is obligatory? The limitation
of Bentham can be gauged by his dismissal of all poetry (and most religion) as "misrepresentation’; this is his
negative side. But benevolence and veracity are Supreme Values, and if it falls to one of the deniers to be their
special advocate, the believers must have long been drowsed. Bentham believes the Church teaches children
insincerity by making them affirm what they cannot possibly understand or mean. They promise, for example, to
fulfill the undertaking of their god---parents, that they will "renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and
vanity of this wicked world" etc. ‘The Devil" Bentham comments: " who or what is he, and how is it that he is
renounced?" Has the child happened to have any dealings with him? Let the Archbishop of Canterbury tell us, and
let him further explain how his own "works" are distinguished from the aforesaid "Pomps and Vanity". What king,
what Lords Temporal or Spiritual, have ever renounced them? (Basil Willey)

1.Make a precise of the following passage in about one third of its length and suggest a suitable heading. (20)
It was not from want of perceiving the beauty of external nature but from the different way of perceiving it, that the
early Greeks did not turn their genius to portray, either in colour or in poetry, the outlines, the hues, and contrasts of
all fair valley, and hold cliffs, and golden moons, and rosy lawns which their beautiful country affords in lavish
abundance.
Primitive people never so far as I know, enjoy when is called the picturesque in nature, wild forests, beetling cliffs,
reaches of Alpine snow are with them great hindrances to human intercourse, and difficulties in the way of
agriculture. They are furthermore the homes of the enemies of mankind, of the eagle, the wolf, or the tiger, and are
most dangerous in times of earthquake or tempest. Hence the grand and striking features of nature are at first looked
upon with fear and dislike.
I do not suppose that Greeks different in the respect from other people, except that the frequent occurrence of
mountains and forests made agriculture peculiarly difficult and intercourse scanty, thus increasing their dislike for
the apparently reckless waste in nature. We have even in Homer a similar feeling as regards the sea, --- the sea that
proved the source of all their wealth and the condition of most of their greatness. Before they had learned all this,
78
they called it “the unvintagable sea” and looked upon its shore as merely so much waste land. We can, therefore,
easily understand, how in the first beginning of Greek art, the representation of wild landscape would find no place,
whereas, fruitful fields did not suggest themselves as more than the ordinary background. Art in those days was
struggling with material nature to which it felt a certain antagonism.
There was nothing in the social circumstances of the Greeks to produce any revolution in this attitude during their
greatest days. The Greek republics were small towns where the pressure of the city life was not felt. But as soon as
the days of the Greeks republics were over, the men began to congregate for imperial purposes into Antioch, or
Alexandria, or lastly into Rome, than we seek the effect of noise and dust and smoke and turmoil breaking out into
the natural longing for rural rest and retirement so that from Alexander’s day …… We find all kinds of authors ---
epic poets, lyricist, novelists and preachers --- agreeing in the precise of nature, its rich colours, and its varied
sounds. Mohaffy: Rambles in Greece
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end in your own words. (20)
Poetry is the language of imagination and the passions. It relates to whatever gives immediate pleasure or pain to
human min. it comes home to the bosoms and business of men: for nothing but what comes home to them in the
most general and intelligible shape can be a subject of poetry. Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds
with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself or for anything else.
Whatever there is a sense of beauty, or power, or harmony, as in the motion of the waves of the sea, in the growth of
a flower, there is a poetry in its birth. If history is a grave study, poetry may be said to be graver, its materials lie
deeper, and are spread wider. History treats, for the most part, cumbersome and unwieldy masses of things, the
empty cases in which the affairs of the world are packed, under the heads of intrigue or war, in different states, and
from century to century but there is no thought or feeling that can have entered into the mind of man which he
would be eager to communicate to others, or they would listen to with delight, that is not a fit subject for poetry. It is
not a branch of authorship: it is “the stuff of which our life is made”. The rest is mere oblivision, a dead letter, for all
that is worth remembering gin life is the poetry of it. Fear is Poetry, hope is poetry, love is poetry; hatred is poetry.
Poetry is that fine particle within us that expands, refines, raises our whole being; without “man’s life is poor as
beasts”. In fact, man is a poetical animal. The child Is a poet when he first plays hide and seek, or repeats the story
of Jack the Giant Killer, the shepherd – boy is a poet when he first crowns his mistress with a garland of flowers; the
countryman when he stops he stops to look at the rainbow; the miser when he hugs his gold; the courtier when he
builds his hope upon a smile; the vain, the ambitious the proud, the choleric man, the hero and the coward, the
beggar and the king, all live in a world of their own making; and the poet does no more than describe what all others
think and act. Hazlitt

Without language we should merely be hairless chimpanzees. Indeed \vc should be some

Gulliver's Travels- Creatures too clever to be guided by instinct, too Self-centered to live in a
state of animal grace, and therefore condemned forever, frustrated and malignant, between
contented apehood and aspiring'humanity. It was language that made possible the
accumulation of knowledge and the broadcasting of information. It was language that
permitted the expression of religious insight, the formulation of ethical ideals, the codification
to laws, It was language, in a word, that turned us into human beings and gave birth to
civilization.

of the world and the new display of the treasures of nature. The darkness and cold of winter
with the naked deformity of every object, on which we turn our eyes, make us rejoice at the
succeeding season, as well for what we have escaped, as for what we may enjoy. Every
budding Flower, whLch a warm situation brings early to our view, is considered by us a
messenger to notify the approach of more joyous days.
The spring affords to a mind free from the disturbance of cares or passions almost everything
that our present state makes us capable of enjoying. The Variegated Verdure of the fields and
woods, the succession of grateful Odours, the Voice of pleasure pouring out its notes on every
side, with the gladness apparently conceived by every animal from the growth of liis food and
the clemency of the weather, throw over the whole.earth an air of gaiety, significantly
expressed by Smile of nature.

1. Make a precis of the given passage and give a suitable heading:(20) If then a practical end must be
assigned to a University course, I say it is that of training good members of a society. Its ah is the
art of social life, and its end is fitness for the world. It neither confines its views to particular
professions on the one hand, not creates heroes or inspires genius on the other. Works indeed of
genius fall under no art; heroic minds come under no rule; a University is not a birthplace of poets
or of immortal authors, of founders of schools, leaders of colonies, or conquerors of nations. It
does not promise a generation of Aristotle or Newtons of Napoleons or Washingtons of Raphaels
or Shakespearcs though such miracles of nature it has before now contained within its precincts.
Nor is it content on the other hand with forming the critic or the experimentalist, the economist or
the engineer, through such too it includes within its scope. But a University training is the great
ordinary means to a great ordinary end; it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society, at
cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste, at supplying true principles to popular
aspirations. It is the education which gives a man a clear conscious view of his own opinions and
judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging
them, ft teaches him to sec things as they arc, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of
thought, to detect what is sophistical and to - discard what is irrelevant. It prepares him to fill any
post with credit, and to master any subject with facility. (John H. Ncwman)
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end, in YOUR OWN
WORDS. 20 My father was back in work within days of his return home. He had a spell in the
shipyard, where the last of the great Belfast liners, the CANBERRA, was under construction, and
then moved to an electronics firm in the east of the city. (These were the days when computers
were the size of small houses and were built by sheet metal workers). A short time after he started
in this job, one of his colleagues was sacked for taking off time to get married. The workforce
went on strike to get the colleague reinstated. The dispute, dubbed the Honeymoon Strike, made
the Belfast papers. My mother told me not long ago that she and my father, with four young sons,
were hit so hard by that strike, that for years afterwards they were financially speaking, running to
stand still. I don't know how the strike ended, but whether or not the colleague got his old job
back, he was soon in another, better one. I remember visiting.him and his wife when I was still
quite young, in their new bungalow in Belfast northern suburbs. I believe they left Belfast soon
after the Troubles began.
My father then was thirty-seven, the age I am today. My Hither and I are father and son, which is
to say we are close without knowing very much about one another. We talk about events, rather
83
than emotions. We keep from each other certain of our hopes and fears and doubts. I have never
for instance asked my father whether he has dwelt on (he direction his life might have taken if at
certain moments he had made certain other choices. Whatever, he found himself, with a million
and a half of his fellows, living in what was in all but name a civil war.As a grown up 1 try often
to imagine what it must be like to be faced with such a situation. What, in the previous course of
your life, prepares your for arriving, as my father did, at the scene of a bomb blast close to your
brother's place of work and seeing what you suppose, from the colour of the hair, to be your
brother lying in the road, only to find that you arc cradling the remains of a woman?
(Glciin Patterson)

1. Make a precis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading
We're dealing with a very dramatic and very fundamental paradigm shift here. You may try" to lubricate your' social
interactions with personality techniques and skills, but in the process, you may truncate the vital character base. You
can't have the fruits without the roots. It's the principle of sequencing: Private victory precedes Public Victory. Self-
mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationship with others. Some people say that you have to
like yourself before you can like others. I think' that idea has merit but if you don't know yourself, if you don't
control yourself, if you don't have mastery over yourself, it's very hard to like yourself, except in some short-term,
psych-up, superficial way. Real self-respect comes from dominion over*self from true independence. Independence
is an achievement. Inter dependence is a choice only independent people can make. Unless we are willing to achieve
real independence, it's foolish to try to develop human relations skills. We might try. We might even have some
degree of success when the sun is shining. But when the difficult times come - and they will - We won't have the
foundation to keep things together. The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or
what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques
(the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We
simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary" for effective interdependence. The techniques
and skills that really make a difference in human interaction are the ones that almost naturally flow from a truly
independent character. So the place to begin building any relationship is inside ourselves, inside our Circle of
Influence, our own character. As we become independent - Proactive, centered in correct principles, value driven
and able to organize and execute around the priorities in our life with integrity - we then can choose to become
interdependent - capable of building rich, enduring, highly productive relationships with other people.

2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end, in YOUR OWN WORDS. (20)
We look before and after, wrote Shelley, and pine for what is not. It is said that this is what distinguishes us from the
animals and that they, unlike us, live always for and in the movement and have neither hopes nor regrets. Whether it
is so or not I do not know yet it is undoubtedly one of our distinguishing mental attributes: we are actually conscious
of our life in time and not merely of our life at the moment of experiencing it. And as a result we find many grounds
for melancholy and foreboding. Some of us prostrate ourselves on the road way in Trafalgar Square or in front of the
American Embassy because we are fearful that our lives, or more disinterestedly those of our descendants will be cut
short by nuclear war. If only as" squirrels or butterflies are supposed to do, we could let the future look after itself
and be content to enjoy the pleasures of the morning breakfast, the brisk walk to the office through autumnal mist or
winter fog, the mid-day sunshine that sometimes floods through windows, tne warm, peaceful winter evenings by
the fireside at home. Yet all occasions for contentment are so often spoiled for us, to a greater or lesser degree by
our individual temperaments, by this strange human capacity for foreboding and regret - regret for things which we
cannot undo and foreboding for things which may never happen at all. Indeed were it not for the fact that over
breaking through our human obsessions with the tragedy of time, so enabling us to enjoy at any rate some fleeting
moments untroubled by vain yearning or apprehension, our life would not be intolerable at all. As it is, we contrive,
everyone of us, to spoil it to a remarkable degree.

Make a précis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading (20 +5)
Basically, psychoses and neuroses represent man’s inability to maintain a balanced or equated polarity in conducting
his life. The ego becomes exclusively or decidedly one sided. In psychoses there is a complete collapse of the ego
back into the inner recesses of the personal and collective unconsciouses. When he is repressed toward fulfilling
some life goal and where he is further unable to sublimate himself toward another goal, man regresses into goal
structures not actually acceptable to himself or to the society. Strong emotional sickness of the psychotic type is like
having the shadow run wild. The entire psyche regresses to archaic, animal forms of behaviors. In less severe forms
of emotional sickness there may be an accentuated and overpowering use of one of the four mental functions at the
expense of the other three. Either thinking, feeling, intuiting or seeing may assume such a superior role as to render
90
the other three inoperative. The persona may become so dominant as to create a totally one-sided ego, as in some
forms of neurotic behavior. All in all, whatever the type of severity of the emotional disorder, it can be taken as a
failure of the psyche to maintain a proper balance between the polarities of life. Essentially, psychoses and neuroses
are an alienation of the self from its true goal of self actualization. In this sense the culture is of no consequence.
Emotional disorder is not a question of being out of tune with one’s culture so much as it is of being out of tune with
one’s self. Consequently, neurosis is more than bizarre behavior, especially as it may be interpreted by
contemporaries in the culture. This interpretation avoids the sociological question of what is a mental disorder, since
form of behavior which is acceptable in one culture may be considered neurotic in other culture. To Jung, the
deviation from cultural norms is not the point. The inability to balance out personal polarities is.
2. Here is an excerpt from the autobiography of a short story writer. Read it carefully and answer the questions that
follow.
My father loved all instruments that would instruct and fascinate. His place to keep things was the drawer in the
‘library table’ where lying on top of his folder map was a telescope with brass extensions, to find the moon and the
Big Dripper after supper in our front yard, and to keep appointments with eclipses. In the back of the drawer you
could find a magnifying glass, a kaleidoscope and a gyroscope kept in black buckram box, which he would set
dancing for us on a string pulled tight. He had also supplied himself with an assortment of puzzles composed of
metal rings and intersecting links and keys chained together, impossible for the rest of us, however, patiently shown,
to take apart, he had an almost childlike love of the ingenious. In time, a barometer was added to our dining room
wall, but we didn’t really need it. My father had the country boy’s accurate knowledge of the weather and its skies.
He went out and stood on our front steps first thing in the morning an took a good look at it and a sniff. He was a
pretty good weather prophet. He told us children what to do if we were lost in a strange country. ‘Look for where the
sky is brightest along the horizon,’ he said. ‘That reflects the nearest river. Strike out for a rive and you will find
habitation’. Eventualities were much on his mind. In his care for us children he cautioned us to take measures
against such things as being struck by lightening. He drew us all away from the windows during the severe electrical
storms that are common where we live. My mother stood apart, scoffing at caution as a character failing. So I
developed a strong meteorological sensibility. In years ahead when I wrote stories, atmosphere took its influential
role from the start. Commotion in the weather and the inner feelings aroused by such a hovering disturbance
emerged connected in dramatic form.

Q # 1... Make a précis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading: (20 + 5)
92
It was not so in Greece, where philosophers professed less, and undertook more. Parmenides pondered nebulously
over the mystery of knowledge; but the pre-Socratics kept their eyes with fair consistency upon the firm earth, and
sought to ferret out its secrets by observation and experience, rather than to create it by exuding dialectic; there were
not many introverts among the Greeks. Picture Democritus, the Laughing Philosopher; would he not be perilous
company for the dessicated scholastics who have made the disputes about the reality of the external world take the
place of medieval discourses on the number of angles that could sit on the point of a pin? Picture Thales, who met
the challenge that philosophers were numskulls by “cornering the market” and making a fortune in a year. Picture
Anaxagoras, who did the work of Darwin for the Greeks and turned Pericles form a wire-pulling politician into a
thinker and a statesman, Picture old Socrates, unafraid of the sun or the stars, gaily corrupting young men and
overturning governments; what would he have done to these bespectacled seedless philosophasters who now litter
the court of the once great Queen? To Plato, as to these virile predecessors, epistemology was but the vestibule of
philosophy, akin to the preliminaries of love; it was pleasant enough for a while, but it was far from the creative
consummation that drew wisdom’s lover on. Here and there in the shorter dialogues, the Master dallied amorously
with the problems of perception, thought, and knowledge; but in his more spacious moments he spread his vision
over larger fields, built himself ideal states and brooded over the nature and destiny of man. And finally in Aristotle
philosophy was honoured in all her boundless scope and majesty; all her mansions were explored and made
beautiful with order; here every problem found a place and every science brought its toll to wisdom. These men
knew that the function of philosophy was not to bury herself in the obscure retreats of epistemology, but to come
forth bravely into every realm of inquiry, and gather up all knowledge for the coordination and illumination of
human character and human life.
Q # 2… Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: (20 Marks)
“Elegant economy!” How naturally one fold back into the phraseology of Cranford! There economy was always
“elegant”, and money-spending always “Vulgar and Ostentatoin;” a sort of sour grapeism which made up very
peaceful and satisfied I shall never forget the dismay felt when certain Captain Brown came to live at Cranford, and
openly spoke of his being poor __ not in a whisper to an intimate friend, the doors and windows being previously
closed, but in the public street! in a loud military voice! alleging his poverty as a reason for not taking a particular
house. The ladies of Cranford were already moving over the invasion of their territories by a man and a gentleman.
He was a half-pay captain, and had obtained some situation on a neighbouring rail-road, which had been vehemently
petitioned against by the little town; and if in addition to his masculine gender, and his connection with the
obnoxious railroad, he was so brazen as to talk of his being poor __ why, then indeed, he must be sent to Coventry.
Death was as true and as common as poverty; yet people never spoke about that loud on the streets. It was a word
not to be mentioned to ears polite. We had tacitly agreed to ignore that any with whom we associated on terms of
visiting equality could ever be prevented by poverty from doing anything they wished. If we walked to or from a
party, it was because the weather was so fine, or the air so refreshing, not because sedan chairs were expensive. If
we wore prints instead of summer silks, it was because we preferred a washing material; and so on, till we blinded
ourselves to the vulgar fact that we were, all of us, people of very moderate means.

Q#1 Make a précis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading.
The author of a work of imagination is trying to effect us wholly, as human beings, whether he knows it or not; and
we are affected by it, as human beings, whether we intend to be or not. I suppose that everything we eat has some
effect upon us than merely the pleasure of taste and mastication; it affects us during the process of assimilation and
digestion; and I believe that exactly the same is true of any thing we read.
The fact that what we read does not concern merely something called our literary taste, but that it affects directly,
though only amongst many other influences , the whole of what we are, is best elicited , I think, by a conscientious
examination of the history of our individual literary education. Consider the adolescent reading of any person with
some literary sensibility. Everyone, I believe, who is at all sensible to the seductions of poetry, can remember some
moment in youth when he or she was completely carried away by the work of one poet. Very likely he was carried
away by several poets, one after the other. The reason for this passing infatuation is not merely that our sensibility to
poetry is keener in adolescence than in maturity. What happens is a kind of inundation, or invasion of the
undeveloped personality, the empty (swept and garnished) room, by the stronger personality of the poet. The same
thing may happen at a later age to persons who have not done much reading. One author takes complete possession
of us for a time; then another, and finally they begin to affect each other in our mind. We weigh one against another;
we see that each has qualities absent from others, and qualities incompatible with the qualities of others: we begin to
be, in fact, critical: and it is our growing critical power which protects us from excessive possession by anyone
literary personality. The good critic- and we should all try to critics, and not leave criticism to the fellows who write
reviews in the papers- is the man who, to a keen and abiding sensibility, joins wide and increasingly discriminating.
Wide reading is not valuable as a kind of hoarding, and the accumulation of knowledge or what sometimes is meant
by the term ‘a well-stocked mind.’ It is valuable because in the process of being affected by one powerful
personality after another, we cease to be dominated by anyone, or by any small number. The very different views of
life, cohabiting in our minds, affect each other, and our own personality asserts itself and gives each a place in some

Strong section of industrials who still imagine that men can be mere machines and are at their best as machines if
they are mere machines are already menacing what they call “useless” education. They deride the classics, and they
are mildly contemptiois of history, philosophy, and English. They want our educational institutions, from the oldest
universities to the youngest elementary schools, to concentrate on business or the things that are patently useful in
business. Technical instruction is to be provided for adolescent artisans; book keeping and shorthand for prospective
clerks; and the cleverest we are to set to “business methods”, to modern languages (which can be used in
correspondence with foreign firms), and to science (which can be applied to industry). French and German are the
languages, not of Montaigne and Gorthe, but of Schmidt Brothers, of Elberfeld and Dupont et Cie., of Lyons.
Chemistry and Physics are not explorations into the physical constitution of the universe, but sources of new dyes,
new electric light filaments, new means of making things which can be sold cheap and fast to the Nigerian and the
Chinese. For Latin there is a Limited field so long as the druggists insist on retaining it in their prescriptions. Greek
has no apparent use at all, unless it be as a source of syllables for the hybrid names of patent medicines and metal
polishes. The soul of man, the spiritual basis of civilization- what gibberish is that?

Q.1. Write a précis of the following passage in about 100 words and suggest the title: (20+5)
Objectives pursued by, organizations should be directed to the satisfaction of demands resulting from the wants of
mankind. Therefore, the determination of appropriate objectives for organized activity must be preceded by an effort
to determine precisely what their wants are. Industrial organizations conduct market studies to learn what consumer
goods should be produced. City Commissions make surveys to ascertain what civic projects would be of most
benefit. Highway Commissions conduct traffic counts to learn what constructive programmes should be undertaken.
Organizations come into being as a means for creating and exchanging utility. Their success is dependent upon the
appropriateness of the series of acts contributed to the system. The majority of these acts is purposeful, that is, they
are directed to the accomplishment of some objectives. These acts are physical in nature and find purposeful
employment in the alteration of the physical environment. As a result utility is created, which, through the process of
distribution, makes it possible for the cooperative system to endure.
Before the Industrial Revolution most cooperative activity was accomplished in small owner managed enterprises,
usually with a single decision maker and simple organizational objectives. Increased technology and the growth of
industrial organization made necessary the establishment of a hierarchy of objectives. This is turn, required a
division of the management function until today a hierarchy of decision makers exists in most organizations.
The effective pursuit of appropriate objectives contributes directly to organizational efficiency. As used here,
efficiency is a measure of the want satisfying power of the cooperative system as a whole. Thus efficiency is the
summation of utilities received from the organization divided by the utilities given to the organization, as
subjectively evaluated by each contributor.
The functions of the management process is the delineation of organizational objectives and the coordination of
activity towards the accomplishment of these objectives. The system of coordinated activities must be maintained so
that each contributor, including the manager, gains more than he contributes.
Q.2. Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions given at the end.
These phenomena, however, are merely premonitions of a coming storm, which is likely to sweep over the whole of
India and the rest of Asia. This is the inevitable outcome of a wholly political civilization, which has looked upon
man as a thing to be exploited and not as a personality to be developed and enlarged by purely cultural forces. The
101
people of Asia are bound to rise against the acquisitive economy which the West have developed and imposed on
the nations of the East. Asia cannot comprehend modern Western capitalism with its undisciplined individualism.
The faith, which you represent, recognizes the worth of the individual, and disciplines him to give away all to the
service of God and man. Its possibilities are not yet exhausted. It can still create a new world where the social rank
of man is not determined by his caste or colour or the amount of dividend he earns, but by the kind of life he lives,
where the poor tax the rich, where human society is founded not on the equality of stomachs but on the equality of
spirits, where an untouchable can marry the daughter of the king, where private ownership is a trust and where
capital cannot be allowed to accumulate so as to dominate that real producer of wealth. This superb idealism of
your faith, however, needs emancipation from the medieval fancies of theologians and logists? Spiritually, we are
living in a prison house of thoughts and emotions, which during the course of centuries we have woven round
ourselves. And be it further said to the shame of us—men of older generation—that we have failed to equip the
younger generation for the economic, political and even religious crisis that the present age is likely to bring. The
while community needs a complete overhauling of its present mentality in order that it may again become capable of
feeling the urge of fresh desires and ideals. The Indian Muslim has long ceased to explore the depths of his own
inner life. The result is that he has ceased to live in the full glow and colour of life, and is consequently in danger of
an unmanly compromise with force, which he is made to think he cannot vanquish in open conflict. He who desires
to change an unfavourable environment must undergo a complete transformation of his inner being. God changes
not the condition of a people until they themselves take the initiative to change their condition by constantly
illuminating the zone of their daily activity in the light of a definite ideal. Nothing can be achieved without a firm
faith in the independence of one’s own inner life. This faith alone keeps a people’s eye fixed on their goal and save
them from perpetual vacillation. The lesson that past experiences has brought to you must be taken to heart. Expect
nothing form any side. Concentrate your whole ego on yourself alone and ripen your clay into real manhood if you
wish to see your aspiration realized.

Q.2. Make a précis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading. (20+5)
From Plato to Tolstoi art has been accused of exciting our emotions and thus of disturbing the order and harmony of
our moral life.” Poetical imagination, according to Plato, waters our experience of lust and anger, of desire and pain,
and makes them grow when they ought to starve with drought. “Tolstoi sees in art a source of infection. “Not only in
infection,” he says, “a sign of art , but the degree of infectiousness is also the sole measure of excellence in art.” But
the flaw in this theory is obvious. Tolstoi suppresses a fundamental moment of art, the moment of form. The
aesthetic experience – the experience of contemplation- is a different state of mind from the coolness of our
theoretical and the sobriety of our moral judgment. It is filled with the liveliest energies of passion, but passion itself
is here transformed both in its nature and in its meaning. Wordsworth defines poetry as “ emotion recollected in
tranquility’. But the tranquility we feel in great poetry is not that of recollection. The emotions aroused by the poet
do not belong to a remote past. They are “ here”- alive and immediate. We are aware of their full strength, but this
strength tends in a new direction. It is rather seen than immediately felt. Our passions are no longer dark and
impenetrable powers; they become, as it were, transparent. Shakespeare never gives us an aesthetic theory. He does
not speculate about the nature of art. Yet in the only passage in which he speaks of the character and functions of
dramatic art the whole stress is laid upon this point. “ The purpose of playing,” as Hamlet explains, “ both at the first
and now, was and is, to hold, as, twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own
image, and the very age and body of the time, his form and pressure.” But the image of the passion is not the passion
itself. The poet who represents a passion doest not infected us with this passion. At a Shakespeare play we are not
infected with the ambition of Macbeth, with the cruelty of Richard III or with the jealously of Othello. We are not at
the mercy of these emotions; we look through them; we seem to penetrate into their very nature and essence. In this
respect Shakespeare’s theory of dramatic art, if he had such a theory, is in complete agreement with the conception
of the fine arts of the great painters and sculptors.
Q.3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (20)
It is very nature of helicopter that is great versatility is found. To begin with, the helicopter is the fulfillment of tone
of man’s earliest and most fantastic dreams. The dream of flying – not just like a bird – but of flying as nothing else
flies or has ever flown. To be able to fly straight up and straight down – to fly forward or back or sidewise, or to
hover over and spot till the fuel supply is exhausted.
To see how the helicopter can do things that are not possible for the conventional fixed-wing plane, let us first
examine how a conventional plane “works”. It works by its shape – by the shape of its wing, which deflects air when
the plane is in motion. That is possible because air has density and resistance. It reacts to force. The wing is curved
and set at an angle to catch the air and push it down; the air, resisting, pushes against the under surface of the wing,
giving it some f its lift. At the same time the curved upper surface of the wing exerts suction, tending to create a lack
of air at the top of the wing. The air, again resisting, sucks back, and this give the wing about twice as much lift as
the air pressure below the wing. This is what takes place when the wing is pulled forward by propellers or pushed
forward by jet blasts. Without the motion the wing has no lift.
Questions:
(i) Where is the great versatility of the helicopter found?

(ii) What is the dream of flying?
(iii) What does the wing of the conventional aircraft do?
(iv) What does the curved upper surface of the wing do?
(v) What gives the wing twice as much lift?

Q2: Precise
Of all the characteristics of ordinary human nature envy is the most unfortunate; not only does the envious person
wish to inflict misfortune and do so whenever he can with impunity, but he is also himself rendered unhappy by
envy. instead of deriving pleausre from what he has, he derives pain from what others have. if he can, he deprives
others of their advantages, which to him is as desirable as as it would be to secure the same advantages himself. if
this passion is allowed to run riot it becomes fatal to all excellence,and even the most useful exercise of exceptional
skill. why should a medical man go to see his patients in a car when the labourer has to walk to his work? why
should the scientifc investigator be allowed to spend his time in a warm room when others have to face the
inclemency of the elements? why should a man who possesses some rare talent of great importance to the world be
saved fromt he drudgery of his own housework? to such questions envy finds no answer. fortunately, however, there
is in human nature a compensating passion, namely that of admiration. whosoever wishes to increase human
happiness must wish to increase admiration and to diminish envy. what cure is there for envy? for the saint there is
107
the cure of selflessness, though even in the case of saints envy of other saints is by no means impossible. but,
leaving saints out of account, the only cure of envy in the case of ordinary men and women is happiness, and the
difficulty is that envy is itself a terrible obstacle to happiness. but the envious man may say: 'what is the good of
telling me that the cure of envy is happiness? i cannot find happiness while i continue to feel envy, and you tell me
that i cannot cease to be envious until i find happiness.' but real life is never so logical as this. mereley to realize the
cause of one's own envious feeling is to take a long step towards curing them.
Question 3: Comprehension
And still it moves. the words of Galileo, murmured when the tortures of the Inquisition had driven him to recant the
Truth he knew, apply in a new way to our world today. sometimes, in the knowledge of all that has been discovered,
all that has been done to make life on the planet happier and more worthy, we may be tempted to settle down to
enjoy our heritage. that would, indeed, be the betrayal of our trust.
These men and women of the past have given everything---comfort, time, treasure, peace of mind and body, life
itself---that we might live as we do. the challenege to each one of us is to carry on their work for the sake of future
generations.
The adventurous human mind must not falter. still must we question the old truths and work for the new ones. still
must we risk scorn, cynicism, neglect, loneliness, poverty, persecution, if need be. we must shut our ears to easy
voice which tells us that human nature will never alter as an exucse for doing nothing to make life more worthy.
Thus will the course of the history of mankind go onward, and the world we know move into a new splendour for
those who are yet to be.

Q.2. Make a precise of the following passage and suggest a suitable heading. (20)
One of the most ominous and discreditable symptoms of the want of candour in present-day sociology is the
deliberate neglect of the population question. It is or should be transparently clear that if the State is resolved, on
humanitarian grounds, to inhibit the operation of natural selection, some rational regulation of population, both as
regards quantity and quality, is
imperatively necessary. There is no self-acting adjustment, apart from starvation, of numbers to the means of
subsistence. If all natural checks are removed, a population in advance of the optimum number will be produced,
and maintained at the cost of a reduction in the standard of living. When this pressure begins to be felt, that section
of the population which is capable of reflection, and which has a standard of living which may be lost, will
voluntarily restrict its numbers, even to the point of failing to replace deaths by an equivalent number of new births;
while the underworld, which always exists in every civilised society the failures and misfits and derelicts, moral and
physical will exercise no restraint, and will be a constantly increasing drain upon the national resources. The
population will thus be recruited, in a very undue proportion, by those strata of society which do not possess the
qualities of useful citizens.
The importance of the problem would seem to be sufficiently obvious. But politicians know that the subject is
unpopular. The unborn have no votes. Employers like a surplus of labour, which can be drawn upon when trade is
good. Militarists want as much food for powder as they can get. Revolutionists instinctively oppose any real remedy
for social evils; they know that every unwanted child is a potential insurgent. All three can appeal to a quasi-
religious prejudice, resting apparently on the ancient theory of natural rights, which were supposed to include the
right of unlimited procreation. This objection is now chiefly urged by celibate or childless priests; but it is held with
such fanatical vehemence that the fear of losing the votes which they control is a welcome excuse for the baser sort
of politician to shelve the subject as inopportune. The Socialist calculation is probably erroneous; for experience has
shown that it is aspiration, not desperation, that makes revolutions.
Q.3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Use your own language. (20)
Human beings are afraid of death just as children feel afraid of darkness. The fear of darkness of kids increased by
the stories of the heard ghosts and thieves. In the same way, the fear of human being is increased by the stories
which they heard about the agony of dying man. If a human being regards death as a kind of punishment for his sins
he has committed and if he looks upon death as a means of making an entry into another world, he is certainly taking
a religious and sacred view of death. But if a human being looks upon death as a law of nature and then feels afraid
of it, his attitude is of cowardice. However, even in religious meditations about death there is sometimes a mixture
of folly and superstition. Monks have written books in which they have described the painful experiences which
they underwent by inflicting physical tortures upon themselves as a form of self purification. Thus, one may think
that the pains of death must be indescribably agonizing. Such books and such thoughts increase a man's fear of
death.
Seneca, the Roman Philosopher is of the view that the circumstances and ceremonies of death frighten people more
than death itself would do. A dyeing man is heard uttering groans; his body is seen undergoing convulsions; his face
appears to be absolutely bloodless and pale; at his death his friends begin to weep and his relations put on mourning
clothes; various rituals are performed. All such facts make death appear more horrible than it would be otherwise.

2. What is a religious and sacred view of death?
3. What are the painful experiences described by the Monks in their books?

Q.2. Make the precis of the following passage and suggest a suitable heading. (20+2=22)
Culture, in human societies, has two main aspects; an external, formal aspect and an inner, ideological aspect. The
external forms of culture, social or artistic, are merely an organized expression of its inner ideological aspect, and
both are an inherent component of a given social structure. They are changed or modified when this structure. They
are changed and modified when this structure is changed or modified and because of this organic link they also help
and influence such changes in their parent organism. Cultural Problems, therefore, cannot be studied or understood
or solved in isolation from social problems, i.e. problems of political and economic relationships. The cultural
problems of the underdeveloped countries, therefore, have to be understood and solved in the light of larger
perspective, in the context of underlying social problems. Very broadly speaking, these problems are primarily the
problems of arrested growth; they originate primarily from long years of imperialist-Colonialist domination and the
remnants of a backward outmoded social structure. This should not require much elaboration European Imperialism
caught up with the countries of Asia, Africa or Latin America between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some
of them were fairly developed feudal societies with ancient traditions of advanced feudal culture. Others had yet to
progress beyond primitive pastoral tribalism. Social and cultural development of them all was frozen at the point of
their political subjugation and remained frozen until the coming of political independence. The culture of these
ancient feudal societies, in spite of much technical and intellectual excellence, was restricted to a small privileged
class and rarely intermingled with the parallel unsophisticated folk culture of the general masses. Primitive tribal
118
culture, in spite of its child like beauty, had little intellectual content. Both feudal and tribal societies living
contagiously in the same homelands were constantly engaged in tribal, racial and religious or other feuds with their
tribal and feudal rivals. Colonialist – imperialist domination accentuated this dual fragmentation, the vertical
division among different tribal and national groups, the horizontal division among different classes within the same
tribal or national groups. This is the basic ground structure, social and cultural, bequeathed to the newly liberated
countries by their former over lords.
Q.3 Read the following passage and answer the question that follow. Use your own language.(20)
The civilization of China, as everyone knows, is based upon the teaching of Confucius, who flourished five hundred
years before Christ. Like the Greeks and Romans, he did not think of human society as naturally progressive; on the
contrary, he believed that in remote antiquity rulers had been wise, and the people had been happy to a degree which
the degenerate present could admire but hardly achieve. This, of course, was a delusion. But the practical result was
that Confucius, like other teachers of antiquity, aimed at creating a stable society, maintaining a certain level of
excellence, but not always striving after new successes. In this he was more successful than any other men who ever
lived. His personality has been stamped on Chinese civilization from his day to our own. During his lifetime the
Chinese occupied only a small part of present-day China, and were divided into a number of warring states. During
the next three hundred years they established themselves throughout what is now China proper, and founded an
empire exceeding in territory and population any other that existed until the last fifty years. In spite of barbarian
invasions, Mongol and Manchu dynasties, and occasional longer or shorter periods of chaos and civil war, the
Confucian system survived, bringing with it art and literature and a civilized way of life. A system which has had
this extra ordinary power of survival must have great merits, and certainly deserves our respect and consideration. It
is not a religion, as we understand the word,because it is not associated with the supernatural or with mystical
beliefs. It is a purely ethical system, but its ethics, unlike those of Christianity, are not too exalted for ordinary men
to practice. In essence, what Confucius teaches is something very like the old-fashioned ideal of a ‘gentleman’ as it
existed in the eighteenth century. One of his sayings will illustrate this: 'The true gentleman is never contentious ...
he courteously salutes his opponents before taking up his position ... so that even when competing he remains a true
gentleman'.
Questions:
1. Why do you think the author calls Confucius' belief about the progress of human society as a delusion?
2. How did Confucius' though affect China to develop into a stable and 'Proper' China?
3. Why does the author think that Confucian system deserves respect and admiration?
4. Why does the author call Confucian system a purely ethical system and not a religion?

Q.2. Make précis of the following text and suggest a suitable title. (20)
In studding the breakdowns of civilizations, the writer has subscribed to the conclusion – no new discovery! – that
120
war has proved to have been the proximate cause of the breakdown of every civilization which is known for certain
to have broken down, in so far as it has been possible to analyze the nature of these breakdowns and to account for
their occurrence. Like other evils war has no insidious way of appearing not intolerable until it has secured such a
stranglehold upon the lives of its addicts that they no longer have the power to escape from its grip when its
deadlines has become manifest. In the early stages of civilization’s growth, the cost of wars in suffering and
destruction might seem to be exceeded by the benefits occurring from the wining of wealth and power and the
cultivation of the “military virtues” ; and, in this phase of history, states have often found themselves able to indulge
in war with one another with something like impunity even for the defeated party. War does not begin to reveal its
malignity till the war making society has begun to increase its economic ability to exploit physical nature and its
political ability to organize manpower; but, as soon as this happens, the god of war to which the growing society has
long since been dedicated proves himself a Moloch by devouring an ever larger share of the increasing fruits of
man’s industry and intelligence in the process of taking an ever larger toll of life and happiness; and, when the
society’s growth in efficiency reaches a point at which it becomes capable of mobilizing a lethal quantum of its
energies and resources for military use then war reveals itself as being a cancer which is bound to prove fatal to its
victim unless he can cut it out and cast it from him, since its malignant tissues have now learnt to grow faster that
the healthy tissues on which they feed.
In the past when this danger-point in the history of the relations between war and civilization has been reached and
recognized, serious efforts have sometimes been made to get rid of war in time to save society, and these endeavours
have been apt to take one or other of two alternative directions. Salvation cannot, of course, be sought anywhere
except in the working of the consciences of individual human beings; but individuals have a choice between trying
to achieve their aims through direct action as private citizens and trying to achieve then through indirect action as
citizen of states. Personal refusal to lend himself in any way to any war waged by his state for any purpose and in
any circumstances is a line of attack against the institution of war that is likely to appeal to an ardent and self-
sacrificing nature; by comparison, the alternative peace strategy of seeking to persuade and accustom governments
to combine in jointly resisting aggression when it comes and in trying to remove its stimuli before hand may seem a
circuitous and unheroic line of attack on the problem. Yet experience up to date indicates unmistakably, in the
present writer’s opinion, that the second of these two hard roads is by far the more promising.
Q.3. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions below: (20)
Experience has quite definitely shown that some reasons for holding a belief are much more likely to be justified by
the event then others. It might naturally be supposed, for instance, that the best of all reasons for a belief was a
strong conviction of certainty accompanying the belief. Experience, however, shows that this is not so, and that as a
matter of fact, conviction by itself is more likely to mislead than it is to guarantee truth. On the other hand, lack of
assurance and persistent hesitation to come to any belief whatever are an equally poor guarantee that the few beliefs
which are arrived at are sound. Experience also shows that assertion, however long continued, although it is
unfortunately with many people an effective enough means of inducing belief, is not an any way a ground for
holding it.
The method which has proved effective, as a matter of actual fact, in providing of firm foundation for belief
wherever it has been capable of application, is what is usually called the scientific method. I firmly believe that the
scientific method, although slow and never claiming to lead to complete truth, is the only method which in the long
run will give satisfactory foundations for beliefs. It consists in demanding facts as the only basis for conclusions,
and inconsistently and continuously testing any conclusions which may have been reached, against the test of new
facts and, wherever possible, by the crucial test of experiment. It consists also in full publication of the evidence on
which conclusions are based, so that other workers may be assisted in new researchers, or enabled to develop their
own interpretations and arrive at possibly very different conclusions.
There are, however, all sorts of occasions on which the scientific method is not applicable. That method involves
slow testing, frequent suspension of judgment, restricted conclusions. The exigencies of everyday life, on the other
hand, often make it necessary to act on a hasty balancing of admittedly incomplete evidence, to take immediate
action, and to draw conclusions in advance of evidence. It is also true that such action will always be necessary, and
necessary in respect of ever larger issues; and this inspite of the fact that one of the most important trends of
civilization is to remove sphere after sphere of life out of the domain of such intuitive judgment into the domain of
rigid calculation based on science. It is here that belief pays its most important role. When we cannot be certain, we
must proceed in part by faith-faith not only in the validity of our own capacity of making judgments, but also in the
existence of certain other realities, pre-eminently moral and spiritual realities. It has been said that faith consists in
acting always on the nobler hypothesis; and though this definition is a trifle rhetorical, it embodies a seed of real
121
truth.
Answer briefly in your own words the following questions:
1. Give the meaning of the underlined phrases as they are used in the passage. (04)
2. What justification does the author claim for his belief in the scientific method? (04)
3. Do you gather from the passage that conclusions reached by the scientific method should we considered final?
Give reasons for your answer. (04)

5. How does the basis of “intuitive judgment” differ from the scientific decision? (04)

(i) In the accident one of my arms broke and my legs bruised.

(Parallelism: which means their should be same form of verb before and after "And".

my arm etc.")

wanted an increase in their salaries.
(Before "increase" we add "an")
(iii) You have been working very hard for the last two years hasn't it?

(Here is the problem of punctuation as non restrictive clause has been placed after "I". So, we
would add commas before "who" and after "him")
(vi) He comes there not only for swimming but also for coaching new swimmers.
(Same problem of parallelism. There should be same form of verb after "not only" and "but
also". So, we need to place "not only" with for swimming as it becomes same as "but also".)
(vii) Last time, when he visited the fair, he bought not less than twenty school bags.
(Last time is an adverb of time so it is place in the beginning)
(viii) Ten cattle were grazing in the field.
