the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their
journey of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could
be traced back from the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called “magni”. The couple is
blessed here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the “mehendi” which is a paste
made from the leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of
the bride with mehendi and the name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another
and a pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as “jaimala”. This is followed by
“kanyadaan”, where the father of the bride places her hand in the groom‟s hand requesting him to
accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the “havan” in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their
commitment to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the
ceremonial fire. The “gath bandhan” takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied
together symbolizing their eternal bond. This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and
remain loyal. The couple then takes four “mangal pheras” or walk around the ceremonial fire,
representing four goals in life: “Dharma”, religious and moral duties; “Artha”, prosperity; “Kama”
earthly pleasures; “Moksha”, spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the “saptapardi”. Then the
ritual of “sindoor” takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the
bride‟s forehead and welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the
marriage. The parents of the bride and the groom then give their blessings, “ashirwad” to the newly
wed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they
grow up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-
fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging
questions for parents.
Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know
what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little
illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and
competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David
and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often
treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually
offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's
more important how the girls act rather than what they say.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For
example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many
of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and
construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities
are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D.,
director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls
from acquiring important skills for their future lives.
 "The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding
gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys
earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys
but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about
educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes
as those mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of
the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect
ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their
children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about
differences of sext are.
