GENERAL ENGLISH
1-C
Time : Three Hours Maximum Marks : 100
Note :- (i) Each question or part thereof shall begin on a
fresh page.
(ii) Your answers should be precise and coherent.
1. Write an essay on any one of the following: 30
(a) Preserving our National Monuments,
(b) The case for or against Reservation of Job's for
Women.
(c) Unity in Diversity,
(d) Side-effects of Computerisation,
(e) Morality and Indian Cinema.

2. Attempt a precis of the passage given below, in your

own words, in about on~third of its length, and also
add a suitable title: 25

Professional diplomacy is not, as a rule, liable to impres-

sion. An Ambassador in writing; the representations whi-
ch he hereafter makes to the foreign government or eith-
er embedded in a carefully drafted Note or conveyed in a
personal interview; in the latter event, he is careful imm~
diately on his return to record the course of that interview
in a dispatch to his own government.
It is customary, moreover, when an ambassador has to
make, to a foreign government, a communication of sp~

GDB-15770 1 Contd.
cial importance that he should bring with him a short syn-
opsis or aide-memorire of what he is instructed to say. He
may read this out to the form minister and he may also le-
ave a copy behind. Conversely, when an ambassadorr rece-
ives from a foreign minister some vitally important oral
communication, it is a wise precaution on his part to sub-
mit to the latter his version of the conversation before re-
porting it officially to his own government. Failure to take
this precaution has led to regrettable incidents in the past
. Although the professional diplomat is seldom guilty of
what I have called intellectual inaccuracy, his temptation
to what I have called "moral inaccuracy" is persistent and
extreme.

This moral inaccuracy takes several forms. The experien-

ced diplomatist is well aware that human action are at the
mercy of chance occurrences and that prophecy is ailways
dangerous. He thus tempted to avoid all predictions. He
prefers to hedge. The "heads I win, tell you lose" type of
dispatch may, it is true, enable an ambassador, after the
event, to claim a presence by recalling his previous refer-
ence either to tails or to heads; yet it is not a deep benefit
either to his government are to his own reputation. All too
often, diplomatists are so afraid of being accused of lack
of judgement that they avoid experiencing any judgement
at all.

3. Expand and illustrate the idea contained in any one of

the following in about 100 words: 15
(a) Empty vessels make much noise,
(b) Slow and steady wins the race,
(c) Procrastination is the thief of time.

ences each, first as a noun and then as a verb: 1o
bag; fan; move; drop; limp; rebel.
