ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and
carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected
the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night.
It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no
chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived.
The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final
death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about
why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the
dead were women, children and the elderly.
(46 – 50) Read the questions given below and write the option you consider the most appropriate

46. One can understand from the reading that [ ]


1) the lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be lowered
2) design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the Estonia ferry
3) most victims were trapped inside the boat as they were in their cabins
4) naval architects claimed that the Estonia was unsinkable
47. It is clear from the passage that the survivors of the accident [ ]
1) helped one another to overcome the tragedy that had affected them all
2) are still suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder
3) helped save hundreds of lives
4) were mostly young men but women, children and the elderly stood little chance
48. According to the passage, when the Estonia sank, [ ]
1) there were only 139 passengers on board
2) there were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board
3) few of the passengers were asleep
4) faster reaction by the crew could have increased the Estonia’s chances of survival
49. The phrase ‘fatal voyage’ indicates that [ ]
1) share the problem with some friends 2) kill the snake
3) the voyage caused many deaths 4) find a solution to the problem
50. Which of the following statements are correct according to the passage? [ ]
i. The ship was well designed ii. It was carefully maintained
iii. There were sufficient number of lifeboats. iv. They completely checked it before setting sail.

Z
1) i, ii & iii 2) only i & ii 3) i, ii, iii & iv 4) None of them

www.intso.co.in 3
dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as
we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable

when we destroy them.

Leadership is about setting the right example. When people see the leader doing the right thing,
they will be motivated to follow that example without being told. Proper example is the foundation
of a strong culture. Good example emerges from being honest and acting in accordance with
convictions. People want their leaders to be ethical, honest, and real. When leaders are real,
people will be motivated to follow their example. Colonel David Hackworth, like most good
commanders, always led from the front. He trained alongside his men and coached them on the
big issues as well as the small. He was there for them, amid the blood, the sweat, and the muck.
Leadership involves people, and people have a multiplicity of needs, physical, emotional, and
amily responsibilities. A compassionate leader understands the complexity of the human psyche
as well as the forces acting upon us from work, family, and community. Good leaders look to
provide a better place for their people, be it at work, at home, or both. If you commit to something,

explain yourself. When you make a commitment, live by it.

words typically come from the mouths of students who consider themselves as being gamesters.
Boys who shine in athletics or in the playing of some game consider that the sporting field is a
better or nobler arena for the expenditure of their activities than the classroom or the reading desk.

www.intso.co.in 3
This idea is born out of an inferiority complex inherent in the athletic students who actually envy
their peers who shine academically. Academic honours, after all, have a glamour which is unique.
I am not saying that excellence in the sporting area is worthless. In fact, being able to play a game
well is indeed an achievement. Even if you fail, sports and games instill team spirit in the participants.
It should also be remembered that athletes and players do a lot to bring honour to their country.
Actually team spirit and the willingness to cooperate can only be cultivated in a person by engaging
in group activities.
Answer the following questions.
46. Bookworms are those students who [ ]
1) love reading and read much 2) hates reading books
3) behave like worms 4) do not socialize
47. Playing of sports and games teaches us one great thing. What is it? [ ]
1) fellow feeling 2) team spirit 3) competitiveness 4) compassion
48. When students engage in group activity, they learn to [ ]
1) cooperate 2) help others 3) compete 4) love others
49. According to the author excellence in sports is [ ]
1) worthless 2) an achievement
3) result of inferiority complex 4) not useful
50. Which of the following word means “A particular environment or walk of life”? [ ]
1) arena 2) comrades 3) athletics 4) glamour
