A classless society, however, does not mean a society without leaders. It means rather one in which every citizen becomes for the first time eligible for leadership, if
he has the power to lead. It means a society in which every one is given, as far as possible, the chance to develop this power by the widest diffusion of educational
opportunities in the broadest sense, and by keeping the career wide open to talents of every useful kind. It is often said that a community of equals will not allow itself
to be led. But in fact, most men are, in most things, very willing to be led, and more in danger of giving their leaders too much than too little authority, especially if
they are free to choose them, and assured that the leaders cannot exploit them for personal economic advantage; leadership, so far from disappearing, will come into
its own in a truly democratic society. But it is likely to be a more diffused leadership than we are used to; for a better-nurtured people will have more citizens with
strong wills and minds of their own, wishful to lead; some in politics, some in industry, and some in professions and arts of life.
This is the idea of a classless society. Some will reject it as contrary to their interest, some as utopian and against 'Human nature,' for there are some who deny,
indeed if not in word, that the aim of society should be to promote the greatest happiness and welfare of the greatest number and others who hold, with pessimistic
honesty, that most men must be driven and not led.

he has the power to lead. It means a society in which every one is given, as far as possible, the chance to develop this power by the widest diffusion of educational
opportunities in the broadest sense, and by keeping the career wide open to talents of every useful kind. It is often said that a community of equals will not allow itself
to be led. But in fact, most men are, in most things, very willing to be led, and more in danger of giving their leaders too much than too little authority, especially if
they are free to choose them, and assured that the leaders cannot exploit them for personal economic advantage; leadership, so far from disappearing, will come into
its own in a truly democratic society. But it is likely to be a more diffused leadership than we are used to; for a better-nurtured people will have more citizens with
strong wills and minds of their own, wishful to lead; some in politics, some in industry, and some in professions and arts of life.
This is the idea of a classless society. Some will reject it as contrary to their interest, some as utopian and against 'Human nature,' for there are some who deny,
indeed if not in word, that the aim of society should be to promote the greatest happiness and welfare of the greatest number and others who hold, with pessimistic
honesty, that most men must be driven and not led.

QID : 01981 - Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Translation is of immense importance today. With rapid commercialization, the narrow barriers between nations are fast disappearing. In the past, there used to be
practically no communication amongst nations. The modern world, however, is no longer divided into water-tight compartments. We are heading towards one world,
thanks to development in the fields of communication among nations today. Translation forges bonds of unity amongst people who speak different languages. Even if
we do not know a particular language or the literature of a particular nation, we can know its richness and the depth of its ideas through translation. Translation also
helps in understanding the rich cultural heritage of a nation. Thus a multi-lingual person has a multi-focal view of the world. Translation also serves as a mode of
cultural excahnge in a multi-lingual country. It plays a pivotal role in the evolution of a pluralistic national identity. The achievement of translation is both the
globalisation of culture and the promotion of intra and inter-cultural bonding. One may appreciate and enjoy through translation the plays of Shakespeare even if one
does not know the English language. One may also know the rich world of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton, Dickens, Hardy, Leo Tolstoy, Zola and Munshi Prem Chand
through translation. Translation responds to our intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs. It is necessary for information and for the exchange of ideas. Translation,
which has hitherto been neglected and marginalized, has assumed importance with rapid globalization. It is now considered an art which requires mastery and
perfection. A good translator is able to do away with superficiality and has a clear understanding of the text to be translated. He should have mastery over the subtle
nuances of the language from which he is translating. Translating a passage of one language into another literally is not only impossible but would also result in
incorrect grammar and syntax.

Is there any difference between "genius" and "talent" ? We generally feel that a man of genius is in some way higher than a man of talent; and that talented men are
more common than genius. This is true, but it is rather vague. Genius implies "very extraordinary gifts or native powers, especially as displayed in original creation,
discovery, expression or achievement; phenomenal capacity regarded as relatively independent of instruction and training". Talent, on the other hand, consists of
"mental endowments or capacities of superior character; marked mental ability". "Talent" is more the capacity to learn to do a thing well; but "genius" is an inborn
inspiration that drives a man to do a thing with original excellence. As Meredith said, "Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can".
Shakespeare in drama and poetry, Isaac Newton in science, Napoleon in war, Beethoven in music, were geniuses; many well-known poets, scientists, generals and
musicians have been men of talent.

Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a casual personality. Her
great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in

When I think of my family's history on the land. I experience a pang of regret. Unlike much of the arid West, where the land has gone virtually
unchanged for centuries, my place of origin, western Kansas, has been torn up by agriculture. The flat plains, excellent soil, and sparse but just
adequate rainfall permitted farming; therefore farming prevailed, and a good 90% of the original sod prairie is gone. The consequence, in human

from my earliest childhood, when the most of the Kansas prairie was still intact, I 've known that the land also had a romantic quality. I've felt
moved by the expanse of it , enthralled by size. I take pride in my identity as a plains daughter.

QID : 121176 - Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Most economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market. Consequently, nothing seems good or normal that does not
accord with the requirements of the free market. A price that is determined by the seller or, for that matter (for that matter: so far as that is
concerned), established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious. Accordingly, it requires a major act of will to think
of price-fixing (the determination of prices by the seller) as both "normal" and having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing is normal
in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the price-fixing
that it requires. Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing
for the same group of consumers. That each large firm will act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more
than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories. But each large firm will also act with full
consideration of the needs that it has in common with the other large firms competing for the same customers.
What does not seem as not good or normal in the context of this essay?
Options:
1) the new interest in free market
2) being captivated by spell of the free market

concerned), established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious. Accordingly, it requires a major act of will to think
of price-fixing (the determination of prices by the seller) as both "normal" and having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing is normal
in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the price-fixing
that it requires. Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing
for the same group of consumers. That each large firm will act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more
than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories. But each large firm will also act with full
consideration of the needs that it has in common with the other large firms competing for the same customers.
A major act of will will bring about price-fixing that will be seen as -
Options:
1) effective and productive
2) constructive and practical
3) normal and having valuable economic function
4) systematic and relevant
Correct Answer: normal and having valuable economic function
Candidate Answer: normal and having valuable economic function

But the war did not cease; though friend and foe alike were almost drowned in blood. It seemed as powerful as eternity, and in time Tony Vassall

All art is, in an important sense, an escape. There is a sense in which the capacity to escape from his present experience, to use his accumulated

To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone, no superhuman brain is required. A few simple rules will keep you free, not from
all errors, but from silly errors. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. Aristotle could have
avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open
while he counted. Thinking that you know when in fact you do not is a bad mistake, to which we are all prone. I believe myself that hedgehogs eat
black beetles, because I have been told that they do; but if I were writing a book on the habits of hedgehogs, I should not commit myself until I
had seen one enjoying this diet. Aristotle, however, was less cautious. Ancient and medieval writers knew all about unicorns and salamanders;
not one of them thought it necessary to avoid dogmatic statements about them because he had never seen one of them.

In short, to write a good letter you must approach the job in the lightest and most casual way. You must be personal, not abstract. You must not
say, 'This is too small a thing to put down'. You must say, 'This is just the sort of small thing we talk about at home. If I tell them this they will see
me, as it were they'll hear my voice, they'll know what I'm talking about'. That is the purpose of a letter. Carlyle had the trick to perfection. He is

my back, trying at another table to write you a small word with her own hand; the first time she has tried such a thing for a year past. It is

QID : 30776 - Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife
habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier
months, thus improving late-summer stream flows.
In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species,
including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also
provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame.
Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other
birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides
will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately .

hindrances to it are examinations and specialization. The examination system is both an opiate and a poison. It is an opiate because it lulls Man into believing that all
is well when most is ill. It is a poison because it paralyses or at least slows down the natural activities of the healthy mind. Man finds himself a creature of unknown
capacities in an unknown world, wants to learn what the world is like, what he should be and do in it. To help him in answering these questions is the one and only
purpose of education. However, tests of progress are useful and necessary. Examinations are harmless when the examinee is indifferent to their result, but as soon
as they matter, they begin to distort his attitude to education and to conceal its purpose. For disinterestedness is the essence of all good education and liberal
education is impossible without it.

QID : 30786 - Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The man who is perpetually hesitating which of the two things he will do first, will do neither. The man who resolves, but suffers his resolution to be changed by the
first counter-suggestion of a friend, - who fluctuates from opinion to opinion, from plan to plan, and veers like a weather-cock to every point of the compass, with
every breath of caprice that blows-can never accomplish anything great or useful. Instead of being progressive in any thing, he will be at best stationary, and more
probably retrograde in all. It is only the man who first consults wisely, then resolves firmly, and then executes his purpose with flexible perseverance, undismayed by
those petty difficulties which daunt a weaker spirit that can advance to eminence in any line. Take your course wisely, but firmly; and having taken it, hold upon it with
heroic resolution, and the Alps and Pyrenees will sink before you.

QID : 30796 - Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them.
Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an
object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces
nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses
that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into
light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the
tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye.
After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye.
