Passage:

Nobody can argue that the acquisition of Knowledge is more fun and easier with computers. The mere activity of touching and
exploring this device constitutes an enjoyable task for a child. This, accompanied by the relaxing attitude and software interactivity,
usually contributes to a better grasping of new knowedge, At a higher educational level the availability of digital books, simulators and
other
academic materials provide the student with an ever accessible source of information, that otherwise would not be at hand. But,
besides the increasing complexity and behaviour of intelligent software, which is usually embedded in the academic digital maternal,
the need for human interaction in the learning process will always be present, at leastin the foreseeable future. There is the necessity
for a human being to be able to determine what the specific needs of each individual are. A computer, no matter how sophsicated its
software is, can hardly mimic the expertise of a teacher in how to explain and adapt complex concepts to different individuals.

Passage:

lf a country should have a message for its people, it should be a message of human dignity. The ideals of a nation should be of the
freedom of ideas, speech, press, the tight to assemble and the right to worship. A country should boldly proclaim to a world dominated
by tyrants that “all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rignts’ and “among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’. This shoud be the source of the strength and power of a nation. If people have the freedom fo
live their lives in dignity, they can work with a sound mind and physical health. The moral, political, and economic stature of a country
lies in the strength of its people. A nation should strive to be a more perfect, not the perfect country where the people are given a
promise and a hope in their minds to work and cherish liberty, justice, and opportunity. We do not always get what we want when we
want it but it is always better to believe that someday somehow, someway, we will get what we want.

The world is becoming a dangerous place to live in, and ths is despite our claims of being civilized, of having evolved from the primitive
to the modern man and from the cave man to cultured being.

Many reasons can be attributed to ths. A man longs to be the King of all Kingdoms, but is too extravagant and idle. He desires that his
writ should run through the whole world. But then he is lazy and lethargic. Man is mean, far inferior to other species. We are
more human than hamane. We have negative qualities such as anger, ego, envy, greed, hatred, and jealously, that we should consider
overcoming.

We have allowed these qualities to become our consuming passions. We think that we are mightier than most We think we are capable
of destroying anything by using our might. Today, we have acqured weapons of mass destruction, which are capable of obliterating all
life from the face of this planet.

As men we arm men. Then we destroy people without arms. Then why are we giving veni to this anger? We let our wrath take over our
senses. Wefight to satisfy our egos, The overpowering obsession of a man with himself motivates him to grab everything andto fulfil
his greed.

Instructions

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question of the four alternatives.
Passage:

The question of race has caused bloodbaths throughout history, Take the case of the Negro, a negro is someone with black skin who
comes from Africa. It is an old-fashioned word and is offensive. Some people used to write that way deliberately. The word ‘nigger’ is
also very offensive. The word was later replaced by “coloured” which gave way to “black”, Black is a colour with negative suggestions.
So we have expressionslike ‘black deed’, “black day” and ‘blackmail’. So no wonder the word ‘black’ too assumed unfavourable
meanings. (Although in the 1960's the famous slogan ‘Black is beautiful’ was coined, and it did not help). The Blacks of the United
States therefore came to be called Afro-Americans. Now, the politically oorrect phrase is African American.
