Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage. The pioneers of the teaching of science
imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality, artificiality, and
backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely
disappointed. So, too, in  their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical
authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval
scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost
managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as
the reading of Virgil's Aeneid.
 
The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the
actual universe in which he is    living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific
discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying
scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but
practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have
been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about
the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly
more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of
school hours.
 
As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the
convenience of teachers and the  requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that
the  pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely  the reverse, that is, to
believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense
to them or not. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries  as spiritualism
or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows
that fifty years of    education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no
visible effect whatever.
 
The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal
experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered  to make this possible, the
best we can expect is the production of a  minority of people who are able to acquire some of
the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and  develop them.

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage.
Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six plays
attributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered to be a man of sharp
contemporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated by his Latin and
music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his quick sympathy
for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial,
vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy.
Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and
stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at,
uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.
 
It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of
the medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically humble
manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold night of
December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost ''documentaries'' given in the three
successive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then
intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-
thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic
mood of early innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also
the raison d’etre of the introductory ''realism.''
 
Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At
the same time, the ''realism'' of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide
knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close
relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which
never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption .
So deeply (one can hardly say ''naively'' of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is
the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the
author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of
Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time ''costume romances,'' such as
The Knight's Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly romantic materials, which
could excuse his taking liberties with history.

17. Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?

Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis
of the information provided in the passage.
Everyone conforms to infancy, infancy conforms to nobody, so that one babe commonly makes four
or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it. So God has armed youth and puberty and
manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it enviable and gracious and its claims
not to be put by, if it will stand by itself. Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot
speak to you and me. Hark! In the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he
knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us
seniors very unnecessary.

The healthy attitude of human nature can be seen in the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a
dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one. A boy is in the
parlor what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on
such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, summary
way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He never cumbers himself
regarding consequences, about interests and he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You should
court him: he will not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness. As
soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy
or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe for
this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality.

These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into
the world. Everywhere society is conspiring against the manhood of every one of its members.
Society is joint - stock company, in which members agree, for the better securing of his bread to
each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is
conformity. It is averse to self-reliance. What it loves is names and customs and not realities and
creators.

Whosoever is a man has to be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be
hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but
the integrity of your own mind.

No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily
transferable to that to this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only right is what is
after me constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence of
all opposition as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how easily
we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-
spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital, and speak
the rude truth in all ways.

I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels
of the doorpost, whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day
in explanation. Except me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do
not tell me, as a good man did not to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations.
Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the time, the cent,
I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of person to
whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your
miscellaneous popular charities; the education at collage of fools; the building of meeting - house to
the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold Relief Societies; - though
I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by
I shall have the manhood to withhold.

If you refuse to conform, you can experience the displeasure of the world. Hence, a man should
know how to estimate a sour face. The by - standers look askance on him in the public street or in
the friend's parlor. In case this aversion originates from contempt and resistance similar to his own,
it might result in a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have
no deep cause, but are caused by reasons as diverse as the direction of the wind and what he reads
in the newspapers. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate
and the collage.
Another factor, which frightens us from self - trust in our consistency; a reverence for our past act or
word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and
we are loath to disappoint them.

But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your
memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you
should contradict yourself; what then?

This is a rather silly consistency in our minds, which is adored by little statesmen and philosophers
and divines. Uniformly a great soul has almost nothing to do, he could just occupy himself with his
shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words; and to-morrow speak what tomorrow
thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day. - ''Ah, so you shall be
sure to be misunderstood.'' - Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was
misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and
every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. What can be considered to be truly great is to be
misunderstood.

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis
of the information provided in the passage.
Certain scraps of evidence bear out those who hold a very high opinion of the average level of
culture among the Athenians of the great age. Pericles's funeral speech is undoubtedly the most
famous evidence from Athenian literature, that its level was indeed high. However, Pericles was a
politician, and it is possible that he was flattering his audience. We know that thousands of Athenians
sat hour after hour in the theater listening to the plays of the great Greek dramatists. The Greek
plays, particularly the tragedies, maintained an extremely high intellectual level throughout, with no
letdowns, no concessions to the lowbrows or to the demands of ''realism'', like the gravediggers
scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet. The music and dancing seen in these plays were also of an equally
high level. The best modern parallel can be seen in the restrained, difficult opera of the 18th century.
The comparison is no doubt dangerous, but can you imagine almost the entire population of an
American city (in suitable installments, of course) sitting through performances of Mozart's Don
Giovanni or Gluck's Orpheus? Perhaps the Athenian masses went to these plays because of a lack of
other amusements. They could at least understand something of what went on, since the subjects
were part of their folklore. Undoubtedly the theme of grand opera is not part of the folklore of the
American people.

17. From the passage it is evident that the author seems to question the sincerity
of

A. politicians

B. playwrights

C. opera goers

D. ''low brows''

E. gravediggers.

Answer : A

18. According to the author the average American

A. Enjoys Hamlet

B. Loves folklore

C. Is not able to understand grand opera

D. Seeks a high cultural level

E. Lacks entertainment.

Answer : C

19. From the passage, we can say that the author's attitude toward Greek plays is
one of

A. Qualified approval

B. Grudging admiration

C. Studied indifference

D. Partial hostility
E. Great respect.

Answer : E

20. The author makes a suggestion that Greek plays

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis
of the information provided in the passage.
The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of
development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Paleocene. This
resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental capacity, and special adaptations for different
modes of life, during the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch,
with the appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are
especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach
toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with
reference to variety and size.

The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the
Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done
much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal
than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the
ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the
antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust
carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior
brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species
of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the
plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps
(hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole),
feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air (bat).
Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical methods to
conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.

Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a
biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolutional
cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle becoming old
and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the
ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-
certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth,
plastic spread in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a
characteristic of the evolution of life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life.

11. From the following, choose the most appropriate title for the above passage?

Questions 41 - 42

Successfully adjusting to one's environment leads to happiness. War at a universal level war destroys
the weaker people, who are the most unable to adjust to their environment. Thus, war at the
universal level puts weaklings out of their misery and allows more space for their predators to enjoy
life in a better manner. As those actions have to be performed, which maximize the level of
happiness of the greatest number, war at a universal level should take place.

Directions for Questions 11-14: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and
water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water
is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the
surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the
disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is
typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its
energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence,
and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed
understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind
to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated
phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-
energy, which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence.

11.  This passage principally intends to:

A.     resolve a controversy

B.     attempt a description of a phenomenon

C.     sketch a theory

D.     reinforce certain research findings

12.  The wind over the ocean usually does which of the following according to the given
passage?
I. Leads to cool, dry air coming in proximity with the ocean surface.
II. Maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the ocean and the air.
III. Results in frequent changes in the ocean surface temperature.

A.     I only

B.     II only

C.     I and II only

D.     II and III only

E.      I, II, and III

Answer : A

13.  According to the author the present knowledge regarding heat and moisture
transfer from the ocean to air as

A.     revolutionary
B.     inconsequential

C.     outdated

D.     derivative

E.      incomplete

Answer : E

14.  According to the given passage, in case the wind was to decrease until there was no
wind at all, which of the following would occur?

A.     The air, which is closest to the ocean surface would get saturated with water vapor.

B.     The water would be cooler than the air closest to the ocean surface.

C.     There would be a decrease in the amount of moisture in the air closest to the ocean
surface.

D.     There would be an increase in the rate of heat and moisture transfer.

E.      The temperature of the air closest to the ocean and that of the air higher up would be the
same.

Answer : A

Directions for Questions 15-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Roger Rosenblatt's book Black Fiction, manages to alter the approach taken in many previous
studies by making an attempt to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject.
Rosenblatt points out that criticism of Black writing has very often served as a pretext for an
expounding on Black history. The recent work of Addison Gayle's passes a judgement on the
value of Black fiction by clearly political standards, rating each work according to the ideas of
Black identity, which it propounds.

Though fiction results from political circumstances, its author react not in ideological ways to
those circumstances, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of
ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Affinities and connections are revealed
in the works of Black fiction in Rosenblatt's literary analysis; these affinities and connections
have been overlooked and ignored by solely political studies.

The writing of acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presumes giving satisfactory
answers to a quite a few questions. The most important of all, is there a sufficient reason,
apart from the racial identity of the authors, for the grouping together of Black authors?
Secondly, what is the distinction of Black fiction from other modern fiction with which it is
largely contemporaneous? In the work Rosenblatt demonstrates that Black fiction is a distinct
body of writing, which has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. He highlights recurring
concerns and designs, which are independent of chronology in Black fiction written over the
past eighty years. These concerns and designs are thematic, and they come form the central
fact of the predominant white culture, where the Black characters in the novel are situated
irrespective of whether they attempt to conform to that culture or they rebel against it.
Rosenblatt's work does leave certain aesthetic questions open. His thematic analysis allows
considerable objectivity; he even clearly states that he does not intend to judge the merit of
the various works yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise
might have led to interesting results. For example, certain novels have an appearance of
structural diffusion. Is this a defeat, or are the authors working out of, or attempting to forge,
a different kind of aesthetic? Apart from this, the style of certain Black novels, like Jean
Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a
counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are
pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expressions?

Irrespective of such omissions, what Rosenblatt talks about in his work makes for an astute
and worthwhile study. His book very effectively surveys a variety of novels, highlighting
certain fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an
Ex-Coloured Man. Black Fiction is tightly constructed, and levelheaded and penetrating
criticism is exemplified in its forthright and lucid style.

15.  The author of the passage raises and objection to criticism of Black fiction like that

A.     Highlights only the purely literary aspects of such works

B.     Misconceive the ideological content of such fiction
