Practice Set-1
ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the correct/
most appropriate options.
As I kept strict watch over my way of
living, I could seethat it was necessary
to economise. I, therefore, decided to
reduce my expenses by half. My accounts
showed numerous items spent on fares.
Again, my living with a family meant the
payment of a regular weekly bill. It also
included the courtesy of occasionally
taking members of the family out to
dinner and likewise attending parties with
them. All this involved heavy items for
conveyances, especially as, if the friend
was a lady, custom required that the man
should pay all the expenses. Also, dining
out meant extra cost, as no deduction
could be made from the regular weekly
bill for meals not taken. It seemed to
me that all these items could be saved,
as likewise the drain on my purse. So,
I decided to take rooms on my own
account, instead of living any longer in a
family and also to remove from place to
place according to the work I had to do,
thus gaining experience at the same time.
The rooms were so selected, as to enable
me to reach the place of business on foot
in half an hour and so save fares. Before
this I had always taken some kind of
conveyance whenever I went anywhere,
and had to find extra time for walks. The
new arrangement combined walks and
economy, as it meant a saving of fares
and gave me walks of eight or ten miles a
day. It was mainly this habit of long walks
that kept me practically free from illness
throughout my stay in England and gave
me a fairly strong body.
Thus I rented a suite of rooms;
one for a sitting room and another for a
bedroom. This was the second stage. The
third was yet to come.

ENGLISH
Directions (1-3): Read the following
passage and answer the questions that
follow.
The Kingfisher is a bird that gets its name
because it truly is a king among the fish
catching birds. In catching fish it sits on
a limb of a tree that hangs over a stream,
looking into the water beneath. Then, as
it sights a fish, it drops like a stone into
the water. Seconds later it pops up with
the fish in its bill. In addition to fish,
it eats worms, crabs and shellfish. It is
found mostly near the freshwater streams
of Europe and North America. The
Kingfisher’s cry is shrill and piercing.
The North American Kingfisher, called
the belted Kingfisher, because of a belt
of blue feathers across its white breast, is
larger than that of the European variety.
The European Kingfisher is a beautiful
bird. Its feathers are bright blue, orange,
deep red, pink and green.

Directions (1-4): Read the following
passage and answer the questions that
follow.
Animals may become extinct in many
ways. First of all they may evolve
into another species and not really die
out of all. For example, through time,
many early form of horses and human
beings have progressively changed by
evolution into new species. The old
species has changed and not really die
out, so this is called pseudo extinction.
The second common way, in which
animals have died out, is for a single
species to disappear because of some
local disturbances. Many animals that
have very special diets, for example,
could die out very easily if their source
of food goes down. It is thought that
certain species of dinosaurs were adapted
to eating particular kinds of reedy plants.
When these disappeared, those particular
species of dinosaurs starved and died out.

ENGLISH
Directions (1-3): Read the following
passage and answer the questions that
follow.
Democracy is a form of government
in which people are governed by their
own elected representatives. It is a
government of the people, for the people.
In this system of government, it is the
people who are supreme and sovereign.
They are free to elect a government of
their own choice. Freedom of choice is
the core of democracy.
Democracy existed in ancient Greek
and Roman republics but with little
success. It had very little scope in ancient
India. Democracy entered its golden
stage in the 20th century. Many countries
in the world today follow the democratic
form of government. Democracy depends
on the following conditions. (i) co-
existence of ideas and of parties, (ii) the
right to free discussions, and (iii) periodic
elections.
India is the largest democracy in
the world. The Constitution of India was
enforced on 26th January, 1950. India
became a democratic republic infused
with the spirit of justice, liberty, equality
and fraternity. The Indian political system
is a multi-party system. Political parties
are the vehicles of ideas. Parties act as
the bridge between social thought and
political decision in democracy. However,
gradually politics has become a game
of opportunism and corruption. Most
political parties are only interested in
coming to power. Some try to influence
the people through caste politics. Some
try to raise the religious sentiments of the
people.
Practice Set-4
We enjoy every right in theory, but
not in practice. Real democracy will come
into being only when the masses are
awakened and take part in the economic
and political life of the country. There
is inequality in every sphere social,
economic and political. Illiteracy is the
main cause of inequality. The illiterate
masses get easily lured by money during
such an event. Also some of our legislators
have criminal records against them. The
people who make the laws themselves
break them. For the democracy to be fully
successful, the electorate should be literate
and politically conscious. They should be
fully aware of their rights and privileges.
1. What is the core of democracy?
(a) Freedom of choice
(b) Supremacy of people
(c) Government by elected
representatives
(d) Government of the people
2. What is wrong with the politics
today?
(a) We have multi-party system
(b) Political parties are the vehicles

Directions (1-4): Read the given
passage and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
He has reservations on the treatment
of dance in Indian films, but given
a chance to work on his own terms,
legendary Kathak Dancer Pandit Birju
Maharaj would like to work more in
Bollywood. The 75-year-old tells us,
“In my opinion, dance is adulterated in
Bollywood. To make it more dramatic,
the dancers are asked to perform in
an exaggerated manner. That makes
any kind of dance impure, especially
classical dance. I’d like to work more in
Hindi films; provided my dance is not
tampered with.”
The Kathak maestro tells us
that over the years he’s been highly
impressed with how some female actors
have showcased classical dance on
screen. On being asked on how he sees
the passion for dance among youngsters
in the country, Birju Maharaj says, “I
see that the young generation is divided
in their response to classical dance. But
in all my interactions with the younger
lot, I have been impressed. These
children have such amazing presence
of mind, listening and learning while
I talk and teach them.” It is often said
that classical dance doesn’t receive due
credit, but the man who is an authority
on the subject thinks Delhi receives
the art well. “I feel that classical dance
might not be on a rise, in popularity, but
I have always been overwhelmed by the
response that I have received in Delhi.
My performances have always
been applauded by packed houses in the
Capital,” he opines.

Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
by selecting the most appropriate
passage option.
If reason in the region of thought is
the aim of science, the rule of equality
in the region of behaviour is the aim of
democracy. Democracy is not a political
arrangement or a form of government. It
is a pattern of life, an active conviction
which informs and inspires every
thought, word and deed. Our present
constitution of society induces in its
more fortunate members far too great
readiness to accept privilege as though
it were inherent in the social order, as
though it were normal and even proper
and just.
If we are sincere in our professions
of democracy, we should not shut our
eyes to the most obvious defects of the
present social order. A system which
does not offer security and decent
employment to multitudes of trained
young men suffers from fundamental
vice. Society is in danger of splitting to
pieces if the few who have the benefits
of civilization are not willing to share
them with the rest. No state is stable
unless it procures for all its members
the essentials of a good life. We
acknowledge that health is better than
disease, sufficiency better than poverty,
shelter better than cold an exposure,
ease of mind better than racking
anxiety. It is our duty to obtain these
essentials of civilized life for the mass
of the population, to work for basic
economic justice for all, if necessary
by the imposition of higher taxes on
incomes, land value and inheritance.

Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow.
The king turned round and saw a bearded
man running towards them. His hands
were pressed against his stomach, from
which blood was flowing. When he
reached the king he fainted and fell to the
ground. The king and the hermit removed
the man's clothing and found a large
wound in his stomach. The king washed
and covered it with his handkerchief but
the blood would not stop flowing. The
king re-dressed the wound until at last
the bleeding stopped.
The man felt better and asked for
something to drink. The king brought
fresh water and gave it to him. Then, the
king with the hermit's help, carried the
wounded man into the hut and laid him
on the bed. The king tired by his walk and
the work he had done, lay down on the
floor and slept through the night. When
he awoke, it was several minutes before
he could remember where he was or who
the strange bearded man lying on the bed
was. 'Forgive me!' said the bearded man
in a weak voice.
“You do not know me but I know
you. I am that enemy of yours who
swore revenge on you, because you
put my brother to death and seized my
property. I knew you had gone alone to
see that hermit and I made up my mind
to kill you on your way home. But the
day passed and you did not return. So,
I left my hiding place and I came upon
your bodyguard, who recognised me and
wounded me. I escaped from him but I
should have died if you had not dressed
my wounds. I wished to kill you and you
have saved my life. Now, if I live and if

ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the given
passage and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
Why do poets use poems to tell about
social injustices? The answer is simple.
This way a poet can catch and hold the
reader’s attention, his/her emotions.
Usually poets in their works present
facts in order to capture attention of
many people. These are not new facts
that are presented to an audience. Poems
are always aimed at reaching feelings
of people and thus, pulling strings.
Literature of every state shows all the
complexity of every epoch. When the
situation is the same at several countries,
it has a worldwide significance. Before
talking about poetry, we should answer
the question. What is poetry? Poetry is
a special way of describing situations,
things, ideas, feelings. Poets present their
ideas in short phrases. A poem can be
compared to a photograph as it reflects
real life, real situations and feelings. In a
poem a poet captures the exact moment
and represents it the way he/she has
seen it. When you read a poem you see
the poet’s subjective evaluation of facts,
situations and the epoch in general. Poets
of the Romantic Movement wrote their
poems to share their feelings. They wrote
to help people understand their time from
the poet’s point of view.

Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
Science, insofar as it consists of
knowledge, must be regarded as having
value but in so far as it consists of
technique, the question whether it is
to be praised or blamed depends upon
the use that is made of the technique.
In itself it is neutral, neither good nor
bad. Any ultimate view that we may
have about what gives value to this or
that must come from other sources than
science. Both good and evil, almost
everything that distinguishes our age
from its predecessors, is due to science.
In daily life we have electricity, the radio
and cinema. Because of the increased
productivity of labour, we are able to
devote a far greater proportion of our
energies to wars and preparation for
wars than was formerly possible and
we are able to keep the young in school
very much longer than we formerly
could. Owing to science we are able
to disseminate information through
the press and the radio to practically
everybody. Owing to science, we can
make it more enormously difficult than
it used to be for people whom the
government dislikes, to escape.
The opposition to science in past was
by no means surprising. Men of science
affirmed things that were contrary to
what everybody had believed, they upset
preconceived ideas and were thought to
be destitute for reverence.
It would not be surprising if in the
present day, a powerful antiscientific
movement were at arise as a result of the
dangers to human life that are resulting
from atom bombs and may result from
bacteriological warfare. But whatever
people may feel about these horrors, they
dare not turn against the men of science
Practice Set-12
so long as war is at all probable, because
if one side is equipped with scientists and
the other not, scientific side would almost
certainly win.

ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the correct/
most appropriate options.
As I kept strict watch over my way of
living, I could see that it was necessary
to economise. I, therefore, decided to
reduce my expenses by half. My accounts
showed numerous items spent on fares.
Again, my living with a family meant the
payment of a regular weekly bill. It also
included the courtesy of occasionally
taking members of the family out to
dinner and likewise attending parties with
them. All this involved heavy items for
conveyances, especially as, if the friend
was a lady, custom required that the man
should pay all the expenses. Also, dining
out meant extra cost, as no deduction
could be made from the regular weekly
bill for meals not taken. It seemed to
me that all these items could be saved,
as likewise the drain on my purse. So,
I decided to take rooms on my own
account, instead of living any longer in a
family and also to remove from place to
place according to the work I had to do,
thus gaining experience at the same time.
The rooms were so selected, as to enable
me to reach the place of business on foot
in half an hour and so save fares. Before
this I had always taken some kind of
conveyance whenever I went anywhere,
and had to find extra time for walks. The
new arrangement combined walks and
economy, as it meant a saving of fares
and gave me walks of eight or ten miles a
day. It was mainly this habit of long walks
that kept me practically free from illness
throughout my stay in England and gave
me a fairly strong body.
Thus I rented a suite of rooms; one
for a sitting room and another for a and

ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow.
Our body is a wondrous mechanism
and when subjected to unusual stress
over a period of time, it adapts itself to
deal more effectively with that stress.
Therefore, when you exert your muscles
against resistance, they are forced to
adapt and deal with this extraordinary
workload. This is the principle of weight
training. Strands of muscle fibres become
thicker and stronger in response to the
demands placed on them.
One of the great merits of weight
training is the strength of your heart.
During weight training, your heart is
forced to beat faster and stronger in
order to pump sufficient blood to the
muscles being worked. In time, your
heart, like your body, will adapt to this
extra-workload by becoming stronger
and more efficient. Since, your body
needs a given amount of blood to
perform its daily tasks, your heart will
now need fewer beats to pump the same
quantity of blood. Sounds good? There's
more. Your entire circulatory system
is given a thorough workout every
time you exercise, which increases its
overall efficiency. Even the neural paths
from your brain's command centres to
each individual muscle become more
effective, enabling easier recruitment of
muscle fibres for carrying out physical
tasks. In essence, your body becomes
a well-oiled and finely-tuned piece of
machinery, whirring along without any
breakdown. In today's stress-filled world,
you need all the help you can get.

Directions (1-4): Read the following
passage and answer the questions that
follow.
The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico
thousands of years before the Spanish
arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were
intelligent, culturally rich people whose
achievements were many. They had
farms, beautiful places and cities with
many buildings. The Maya knew a lot of
about nature and the world around them.
This knowledge helped them to live a
better life than most people of that time
because they could use it to make their
lives more comfortable and rewarding.
Knowledge about tools and farming for
instance made their work easier and more
productive.
The Maya believed in many gods,
including Rain God, Sun God and Corn
God. They built large temples to honour
their Gods. Skillful workers built cities
around these temples. It was difficult for
them to construct these cities because
they had no horses to carry the heavy
stones they used to build with. Workers
had to carry all of the building materials
themselves. Today, many of these ancient
Mayan cities and temples are still
standing.
Although the cities that the Maya
built were beautiful and the people
worked hard to build them very few of
the people lived in them. Usually, only
the priests lived in the cities. The other
people lived in small villages in the
forest. Their houses were much simpler
than the elaborate structures in the
cities. They lived in small huts with no
windows. The walls were made of poles
covered with dried mud and the roof was
made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived

Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
Max Weber laid the foundation for my
belief that decent and hard working
people with high aspirations make great
nations, no matter what the odds are. This
was the first piece of the development
puzzle for me. Mahatma Gandhi opened
the eyes to the importance of good
leadership in raising the aspirations of
people, making them accept sacrifices
to achieve a grand vision, and most
importantly, in converting that vision into
reality. He unleashed the most powerful
instrument for gaining trust-leadership by
example. He ate, dressed, travelled and
lived like the poor. Walking the talk was
extremely important to the Mahatma who
understood the pulse of our people like
no other Indian leader. The biggest lesson
for me from Gandhi’s book and life is
the importance of leading by example.
I realized fairly early that this was the
second piece of the development puzzle.
Frantz Fanon’s book on the colonizer
mindset of elites in a post-colonial
society opened my eyes to the role
of the bureaucracy and the elite in
decelerating the progress of the poor and
the disenfranchised. The colonial mindset
of the ‘dark elite in white masks’ in a
post-colonial society–the mindset that
the rules and the rulers have different
sets of rights and responsibilities with
a huge asymmetry in favour of the
Practice Set-16
rulers was indeed the third piece of the
development puzzle. I see this attitude
of the Indian elite everyday in how they
send their children to English medium
schools while forcing the children of the
poor into vernacular schools, extol the
virtues of poverty while living in luxury,
and glorify the rural life while they sit
comfortably in cities.

ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the passage given
below and answer the questions that
follow by selecting the correct/most
appropriate options.
In these times of worldwide skyrocketing
energy costs, experts are turning to
perhaps the only energy source that is
still immune to price fluctuating: the
Sun. Economic necessity appears to
be largely responsible for the rapidly
growing acceptance of solar heat as an
alternative source. Electricity has been
a clean and versatile form of energy
that continues to grow in importance for
lighting, heating and cooking, and for
powering our increasingly automated and
computerised society. The demand for
electricity is expected to grow more in
future than the average trend to the past.
A mix of energy sources is required as
hedge against shortages in any one area,
and the electricity supply companies
are taking a second look at renewable
generating technologies, particularly
those based in the Sun.
Every 15 minutes, the sun delivers
to Earth radiant energy to meet all
mankind’s power needs for a full year.
But harnessing this energy is complicated
by two properties of sunlight: its
diffuseness and it's variability with time
of day, seasons and weather conditions.
These factors pose formidable technical
challenges for the efficient conversion
of solar radiation into bulk, utility grade
electric power. Nevertheless, solar
technologies are attractive to utilities
because they are environment-friendly
and offer a lower regulatory risk, limited
capital risk and less lead time.
1. Why are experts, according to the
passage, looking at the Sun as an
energy source?
(a) Due to depletion of other
sources of energy
Practice Set-17
(b) As other energy forms pollute
the environment
(c) Increasing costs of other sources
(d) All of the above
2. What is the major difficulty in
employing solar energy?
(a) Fluctuations in weather
(b) By nature sunlight is diffuse
(c) Sunlights varies from time to time
(d) All of the above
3. Experts are impressed with the
solar energy technologies because
(a) of them being good for the
environment
(b) they require less investment
(c) they can be employed in quick time
(d) All of the above
4. Why are power generating
companies looking at mix energy
options?
(a) The sources of energy are getting
scarce but demand is increasing
(b) Government is controlling price
of electricity
(c) Alternative sources of energy
are available free and without
regulations
(d) All of the above
Directions (5-6): Select the correct
spelling:

Directions (1-4): Read the following
passage and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option–
A long time ago there lived a king and
queen who longed to have a child. One
day, when the queen was resting near a
spring, a frog crept out of the water and
said to her, "You shall have your wish.
Within a year you shall have a little girl."
What the frog said came true. The
queen had a child who was so beautiful
that the king gave a party in her honour.
He wished to invite all the wise women
in the land, for these wise women could
grant fairy gifts to his little child. There
were thirteen of them, but only twelve
were invited, as the king had only twelve
golden plates.
After the dinner was over, the
wise women in turn rose from the table
and named their fairy gifts to the little
princess. The first gave to her goodness,
the second, beauty; the third, riches and
so on, up to the last. Before the twelfth
wise woman could speak, suddenly the
thirteenth came in. This woman was
in great rage because she had not been
invited and without greeting or even
looking at anyone. She cried with a loud
voice, "The king's daughter shoul in her
fifteenth year prick herself with a spindle
and fall down dead." And, without saying

Directions (1-4): Read the given
passage and answer the questions
that follows by selecting the most
appropriate option.
The President of Earth glowered at the
autocue and the television camera in
the small presidential studio which was
where he should have been right now
instead of reading ridiculous public
service emergency announcements.
It was his day off and he reckoned
that the world and its wretched public
service announcements should wait until
tomorrow. Unfortunately, the world didn't
want to wait and the World Parliament
had prepared this announcement for
him to read, so he was glowering at
everyone. The autocue started rolling
and the President relaxed has scowling
face and beamed into the television
camera, exuding bonhomie to the billions
who were watching as he read from the
autocue.
Scientists are today investigating
objects that are appearing across the
world and which seem to present a degree
of danger to anybody touching them.
World scientists are advising that, under
no circumstances should these objects
be touched. A heavy metal object that
is floating on a pond would be such an
example. A tree growing out of concrete
would be another. However, there is
no guarantee that objects will always
have this incongruity and scientists are
advising the general public to proceed
with great caution, especially when at
home where unfamiliar objects may be
more easily identified. After reading the

Directions (1-4): Read the following
passage and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
You have all seen birds flying. For
thousands of years men watched the
birds and wondered how they had this
marvellous gift of flying. Looking at
these birds, man first began dreaming
about going up in the sky. Men tried to
copy these birds. They tried to make big
kites which could carry them up. They
tried various methods but could not fly.
One winter night a man was sitting
near the fire. While looking at the fire,
he saw smoke rising from it. The man
watching the smoke wondered if the
smoke could also take other things up
with it. He made a bag of silk and burnt
some paper below it. As soon as the
smoke collected in the bag, it started
rising up.
Several other people also tried this
experiment and were successful. They
made bigger and bigger bags and filled
them with hot air. In big balloons they
put animals in a small cage and sent them
up in the air. When the animals returned
safely, they sent up a man in a balloon.
Balloons could fly only in the direction
in which the wind blow. Improvements
began to take place and the balloons
could stay in the air much longer.
Some people were also trying to
experiment with other methods of flying
in the air. One new method was of flying
in gliders. A glider is like a present day
aeroplane, but has no machine or engine.
Unlike the balloons, the pilot of a glider
can control the direction of travel but
the glider can stay up only as long as the
currents of air can support it.
Practice Set-20
In America, two brothers, Wilbur
and Orville Wright, were carrying out
experiments at the same time. They
were known as the "Wright Brothers".
They worked hard and tried several
experiments. In 1903, they were able
to make a machine which could fly in
the air.
Although the first really successful
flight took place in 1903, an Italian
named Leonardo da Vinci had thought of
a rough form of an aeroplane more than
five hundred years ago.
The first machine was not very
good. Before showing it to the people
many improvements had to be made. The
prople were delighted to see the machine
fly. The public gradually began to take
interest in these machines.

Directions (1-4): Read the passage
carefully and answer the questions that
follow by choosing the best alternative.
What's the computer's mother tongue?
Which language does the computer
speak? What is a conglomeration of
computer languages called? Witticisms
apart, we do need to communicate with
computers. When the pentagon wanted
a new computer language that could
do most of the routine jobs with ease,
it made its scientists look at more than
150 different computer languages that
existed in the United States. After a few
months of intensive testing of most the
available languages, American scientists
decided that none of them was suitable
for the job. So, the US Department of
Defense invented yet another language,
making it about the 151. It then went
about searching for a name the DoD
didn't find anything "precise enough".
So, a new female name was picked and
the newest computer language was called
ADA. Lady Augusta Ada Lovelace could
be considered the chief inspiration for
the world's first computer engineer, the
father of the computer, Charles Stanley
Babbage. ADA, the language is quite
tough, complex and highly detailed
piece of software and is being adopted
to much of the Western World's military
and space applications. ADA can work
with multiple parameters at one time, is
quick efficient and precise.
But the non-military world does
not exactly need ADA to carry on its
business. There are about a dozen other
more popular languages that fit the
bill very well. Though, almost all of
them seem quite tough, complex and
cumbersome to work on and write at first
sight, they are not tougher than learning a
Practice Set-21
new foreign language and seem relatively
simple once one has a hang of them.

3. Why have European militaries
adopted ADA?
(a) Is easy and simple to use.
(b) They are under agreement with
the US.
(c) Can work on many parameters at
a time.
(d) All of the above.
4. Why did the DoD find it difficult
to choose a name for their new
computer language?
(a) No name seemed precise.
(b) Every name had been already
used.
(c) They did not have any repository
of the available names.
(d) They were unable to get approval
of the president for the chosen
names.

Directions (1–4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
by selecting the most appropriate
option.
If the reason in the region of thought is
the aim of science, the rule of equality
in the region of behaviour is the aim of
democracy. Democracy is not a political
arrangement or a form of government. It
is a pattern of life, an active conviction
which informs and inspires every thought,
word and deed. Our present constitution
of society induces in its more fortunate
members far too great readiness to accept
privilege as though it were inherent in the
social order, as though it were normal and
even proper and just.
If we are sincere in our professions
of democracy, we should not shut our
eyes to the most obvious defects of the
present social order. A system which does
not offer security and decent employment
to multitudes of trained youngmen
suffers from fundamental vice. Society
is in danger of splitting to pieces if the
few who have the benefits of civilisation
are not willing to share them with the
rest. No state is stable unless it procures
for all its members the essentials of a
good life. We acknowledge that health is
better than disease, sufficiency is better
than poverty, shelter is better than cold
and exposure, ease of mind is better than
racking anxiety. It is our duty to obtain
these essentials of civilised life for the
mass of the population, to work for basic
economic justice for all, if necessary
by the imposition of higher taxes on
incomes, land, value and inheritance.
Riches were created by the maker for
being spent on social purpose. It was
Blackstone, not Lenin, who wrote “The
Practice Set-22
law, not only regards life and protects
every man in enjoyment of it but also
furnishes him with everything necessary
for its support. For there is no man, so
indecent or wretched but that he may
demand a supply sufficient for all the
necessities of life from the more opulent
part of the community.”

Directions (1-4): Read the given
passage and answer the questions
that follow by selecting the most
appropriate option.
The scene presented by a community of
bees is the more astonishing, the more we
become acquainted with its details. Each
hive is a commonwealth of which the
queen is nominally the head, receiving
the greatest honour and care from her
industrious subjects. With a greater
wisdom than can be claimed by men,
these creatures allow no disputes about
the succession to the throne to induce
them to injure each other, but they require
the parties themselves individually to
settle the quarrel between each other,
without prolonged interference with
the duties of the hive, indeed, they
may be said with truth to have adopted
the advice: “Let those who make the
quarrels, be the only ones to fight.”
Only one queen is permitted to
hold office in the community at a time,
but while her claims are undisputed,
she is treated with singular respect and
affection. Indeed, her presence and the
prospect of a future generation, appear
the chief motives of the insects to exert
themselves.
1. The writer’s observation that the
bees “settle the quarrel between
each other, without prolonged
interference with the duties of the
hive” suggests that he/she is–
(a) pointing a bee character
(b) observing the traits of worker
bees
(c) appreciating the queen bee
(d) condemning the behaviour of ill-
tempered human beings.
2. ‘ T h e p ro s p e c t o f a f u t u re

ENGLISH
Directions (1-4): Read the passage
given below and answer the questions
that follow.
It is your duty to train and develop your
mind and acquire knowledge, as much
knowledge as you possibly, can obtain.
Knowledge is like a deep well, fed by
perennial springs and your Mind is the
little bucket that you drop into it: you
will get as much as you can assimilate.
The Brain, which is the physical organ
of the mind, is one of the two precious
products of the aeons of Evolution:
the other is the imponderable ‘Social
instinct’. This wonderful Brain, whose
every convolution represents millions of
years of Time, really distinguishes you
from the animals. Many animals have
very powerful sense organs; the eagle,
the ant and the dog have keener sense of
sight than Man. But no animal has a more
evolved Brain and higher Intelligence. If
you do not develop and use this Brain to
the utmost of your power, you are more
akin to the beasts than to Homo-sapiens.
Knowledge amd mental self-culture
will confer untold blessings upon you.
You will not be the victim of superstition
and demagogy in religion and politics.
You will know your duty and do it. To be
wise and independent in your religion and
your politics, not to be doped and duped
by the selfish priests and the scheming
politicians of Capitalism and so called
Socialism: is this not a noble aim worth
striving for? Most men and women
today are not free and wise: they are like
kites flown by the priests and politicians
whow hold the string. They are fleeced
and fooled on account of their ignorance.
Half the ills of man are due to ignorance.
