Directions(Q.1-Q.50): Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Passage(Q.1-Q.3): After that night, they were unable to tear themselves away from the temple except to forage for food, and every night the soft women of their most contented dreams returned in silence, never speaking, always neat with their saris, and invariably bringing the lost quartet to an incredible united peak of delight. In their alarm, they understood that this was the last and worst of the jungle’s tricks, that by giving them their heart's desire, it was fooling them into using up their dreams so that as their dream-life seeped out of them, they became as hollow and translucent as glass. ‘The Buddha saw now that the colourlessness of insects and leeches and snakes might have more to do with the depredations worked on their insectile, leachy, snakish imaginations than with the absence of sunlight awakened as if for the first time by the shock of translucency, they looked at the temple with new eyes, seeing the great gaping cracks in the solid rock, realizing that vast segments could come detached and crash down upon them at any moment; and then, in a murky comer of the abandoned shrine, they saw the remnants of what might have been four small fires—ancient ashes, scorch-marks on stone-or perhaps four funeral pyres; and in the centre of each of the four, a small, blackened, fire-eaten heap of uncrushed bones. 1.

(a) Persuasi (b) Descriptive (© Expository (@) Analytical Passage(Q.4-Q.7): Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and. deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment, Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms. ‘Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or mote complex machines, stich as a space station or particle accelerator. Tools and machines need not be material; virtual technology, such as computer software and business methods, falls under this definition of technology. The distinction between science, engineering, and technology is not always clear. Science is the reasoned investigation or study of phenomena, aimed at discovering enduring principles among elements of the phenomenal world by employing formal techniques such as the scientific method. Technologies are not usually exclusively products of science, because they have to satisfy requirements such as utility, usability, and safety. % Tp Taro oa Pata soe Engineering is the goal-oriented process of designing and making tools and systems to exploit natural phenomena for practical human means, often (but not always) using results and techniques from science. The development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge, including scientific, engineering, mathematical, linguistic, and historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result, Technology is often a consequence of science and engineering — although technology as a human activity precedes the two fields. For example, science might study the flow of electrons in electrical conductors, by using already-existing tools and knowledge. This newfound knowledge may then be used by engineers to create new tools and machines, such as semiconductors, computers, and other forms of advanced technology. In this sense, scientists and engineers may both be considered technologists; the three fields are often considered as one for the purposes of research and reference. ‘The human race's use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in traveling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons. 4, Which of the following is a negative consequence of technology according to the passage?

(@) Ithas been used during pre historical times, Tar ori Tore ree cae a Paes By Toprarkors Passage(Q.8-Q.11): Modern thought has realized considerable progress by reducing the existent to the series of appearances which manifests it. Its aim was to overcome a certain number of dualisms which have embarrassed philosophy and to replace them by the monoism of the phenomenon, Has the attempt become been successful? In the first place we certainly thus get rid of that dualism which in the existent opposes interior to exterior. There is no longer an exterior for the existent if one means by that a superficial covering which hides from the sight the true nature of the object. And it is true nature in turn, if it isto be the secret reality of thing, which one can have a presentiment of or which one can suppose but can never reach because itis the “interior” of the object under consideration- this nature no longer exists. The appearances which manifest the existent are neither interior nor exterior; they are all equal, they all refer to other appearances, and none of them is privileged. Force, for example is not a metaphysical conatus of an unknown kind which hides behind its affects (acceleration, deviations etc); itis the totality of these effects. Similarly an electric current does not have a secret reverse side; itis nothing but the totality of the physical-chemical actions which manifest it (electrolysis, the incandescent of a carbon filament, the displacement of the needle of the galvanometer etc.) No one of these actions alone is sufficient to reveal it. But no one action indicates anything which is behind itself; it indicates only itself and the total series, ‘The obvious conclusion is that the dualism of being and appearance is no longer entitled to any legal status within philosophy. The appearance refers to the total series of appearances and not to hidden reality which would drain to itself all the being of the existent. And appearance for its partis not an inconsistent manifestation of this being. To the extent that men had believed in noumenal realities they have presented appearance as purely negative. It was “that which is not being”; it had no other being than that of illusion and error. But even this being was borrowed, it was itself a pretense, and philosophers met with the greatest difficulty in maintaining cohesion and existence in the appearance so that it should not itself be reabsorbed in the depth of non-phenomenal being. But if we once get away from what Nietzsche called “the illusion of the worlds-behind-the scene,” and if we no longer believe in the being-behind-the- appearance, then the appearance becomes full positivity; its essence is an “appearing” which is no longer opposed to being but on the contrary is the measure of it. For the being of an existent is exactly what it appears. Thus we arrive at the idea of the phenomenon such as we can find, for example, in the “phenomenology” of Husserl and Heidegger- the phenomenon of the relative-absolute. Relative phenomenon remains, for “to appear” supposes in essence somebody to whom to appear. But it does not have the double relativity of Kant’s Erscheinung. It does not point over its shoulder to a true being which would be, for it, absolute. What it is, it is absolutely for it reveals itself as it is. The phenomenon can be studied and described as such, for itis absolutely indicative of itself. ‘The duality of potency and act falls by the same stroke, The act is everything. Behind the act these is neither potency nor “hexis” nor virtue. We shall refuse, for example, to understand by “genius”- in the sense in which ‘we say that Proust “had genius” or that he “was” a genius- a particular capacity to produce certain works, which was not exhausted exactly in producing them, The genius of Proust is neither the work considered in isolation nor the subjective ability to produce it; the work is considered as totality of the manifestations of the persons. ‘The transition of appearance from ‘pure negative” to full positive” occurs, according to the passage, if we believe that (a) appearance is a being of illusion and error and represents the face that is presented to the world by the existent. (b) anon-phenomenal being that maintains it cohesion and existence in the being, manifests itself as appearance. (©) appearance is opposed to the being it manifests and projects to the outer world. (@) the illusion of the world behind-the-scene is non-existent and appearance is essentially the being itself. Tp Taro oa Paeaa me By Toprarkors ‘As per the passage, Dualism is best described by (a) “Being” being distinct trom “appearance”. (b) “potency” and “act” being interlinked. (©) opposition of “exterior” to “interior” in the “existent” entity. (@) None of the above ‘Force’, “Electric Current’ ete. are all, as described by the passage (a) simply actions that indicate what is behind them or what causes them. (b) sum total of all their individual effects and appearances, none of which is privileged, (©) can be individually represented and described by the individual effects they produce. (d) a dualism of being and appearance which come together to produce the required effects. ‘The phenomenology of Husser! or of Heidegger differs from that Kant's Erscheinung, as the former (a) states that the phenomenon can be completely described and studied, (b) does not rely on the existence of another absolute being to describe itself completely. (©) relies on the duality of the being and appearance to describe the phenomenon. (@) uses the reference of a non-phenomenal being to completely describe a phenomenon, Passage(Q.12-Q.16): Ifa computer could fool a person into thinking that he were interacting with another person rather than a machine, then it could be classified as having artificial intelligence. That, at least, was the test proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing, a British mathematician. Turing envisaged a typed exchange between machine and person, so that a genuine conversation could happen without the much harder problem of voice emulation having to be addressed. More recently, the abilities of computers to play games such as chess, go and bridge has been regarded as a form of artificial intelligence. But the latest effort to use machines to emulate the way people interact with one another focuses neither on natural languages nor traditional board and card games. Rather, it concentrates on that icon of modernity, the shoot-’em-up computer game. At a symposium on computational intelligence and games organised in Milan this week by America’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, researchers are taking part in a competition called the 2K BotPrize. The aim is to trick human judges into thinking they are playing against other people in such a game. The judges will be pitted against both human players and “bots” over the course of several battles, with the winner or winners being any bot that convinces at least four of the five judges involved that they are fighting a human combatant. Last year, when the 2K BotPrize event was held for the first time, only one bot fooled any judges at all as to its true identity - and even then only two of them fell for it. Computers can, of course, be programmed to shoot as quickly and accurately as you like. To err, however, is human, so too much accuracy does tend to give the game away. According to Chris Pelling, a student at the Australian National University in Canberra who was one of last year’s finalists and will compete again this year, successful bot must be smart enough to navigate the three-
