9/26/2020 Dashboard

Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most e cient
economic system. Maximum freedom means maximum productiveness; our “openness” is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with this
ideal has made Americans defy the “Old World” categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention
versus the cupidity of seizure, a “status quo” defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only “station”
was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We did not base our system on property but opportunity--which meant we
based it not on stability but on mobility. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we would be. The
conventional picture of class politics is composed of the haves, who want stability to keep what they have, and the have-nots, who want a touch
of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which speculators, self-
makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These econ omic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents
of change. The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a regulative
hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt, begin things again from compensatorily staggered “starting lines.”
“Reform” in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion
of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as it were, for the disenfranchised. There is no attempt to call o the race. Since our only stability is
change, America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism of
the o ce clerk, no stable industrial work force of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee
(Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no boasting about our social workers---they are merely
signs of the system’s failure, of opportunity denied or not taken, of things to be eliminated. We have no pride in our growing interdependence, in
the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present
achievements, make us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland race we must all run, all
trying to win, none winning in the end (for there is no end).

It can be inferred from the passage that the author most probably thinks that giving the disenfranchised “a piece of the action” is

An example of Americans’ resistance to profound social change.

A monument to the e orts of industrial reformers.

An innovative program for genuine social reform.

A compassionate, if misdirected, legislative measure.

Question 40 + 1.00 - 0.00

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. PASSAGE

No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes
that the upper mantle of the earth behaves like a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that di erences in temperature
under oceans and continents are su cient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-
ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they
were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: It has
the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature di erences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a back-
coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines
broken by frequent o sets or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also, it is di cult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-
Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges
must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part
of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate after it. Again it is di cult to see how this applies to
the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part. Another possibility is that the sinking plate
cools the neighboring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope of
explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical oceanic oor, except that the oor is overlaid by several
kilometers of sediment. Their oors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle
material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s
surface, and seriously require explanation because, addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs, there are a
number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.

According to the traditional view of the origin of ocean basins, which of the following is su cient to move the continental plates?

Di erence in temperature under oceans and continents.

Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most e cient
economic system. Maximum freedom means maximum productiveness; our “openness” is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with this
ideal has made Americans defy the “Old World” categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention
versus the cupidity of seizure, a “status quo” defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only “station”
was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We did not base our system on property but opportunity--which meant we
based it not on stability but on mobility. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we would be. The
conventional picture of class politics is composed of the haves, who want stability to keep what they have, and the have-nots, who want a touch
of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which speculators, self-
makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These economic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents
of change. The non-starters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a regulative
hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt,

begin things again from compensatorily staggered “starting lines.” “Reform” in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change
except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as it were, for the
disenfranchised. There is no attempt to call o the race. Since our only stability is change, America seems not to honor the quiet work that
achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism of the o ce clerk, no stable industrial work force of the
people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee (Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an

Question 49 + 1.00 - 0.00

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. PASSAGE

No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes
that the upper mantle of the earth behaves like a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that di erences in temperature
under oceans and continents are su cient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-
ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they
were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: It has
the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature di erences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a back-
coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines
broken by frequent o sets or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also, it is di cult to see how

https://instacks.in/superadmin/viewexampaper/1018 24/33
9/26/2020 Dashboard

the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since
there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with
them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate
after it. Again it is di cult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a
sinking part. Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighbouring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates.
This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical
oceanic oor, except that the oor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their oors have probably been sinking for long periods. It
seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The
enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and seriously require explanation because, addition to the enclosed seas that are
developing at present behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea,
and perhaps the North Sea.
