Read the following passage and answer the questions:
Lying is an accursed vice. It is only our words which bind us together and make us
human. If we realized the horror and weight of lying, we would see that it is more
worthy of the stake than other crimes. I nd that people normally waste time
quite inappropriately punishing children for innocent misdemeanors formenting
them for thoughtless actions which lead nowhere and leave no trace. It seems to
me that the only faults which we should vigorously attack as soon as they arise
and start to develop are lying and little below that, stubbornness. Those faults
grow up with the children. Once let the tongue acquire the habit of lying and it is
astonishing how impossible it is to make it give it up. That is why some otherwise
decent men are object slaven to it. One of my tailors is a good enough fellow, but I
have never heard him once speak the truth, not even when it would help him, if he
did so.
Q95. ‘Lying’ is a fault that should be punished only
1. When the rst lie is uttered
2. When it becomes convenient
3. When it becomes stubborn
4. When it begins to turn into a habit
Answer: 4
Q96. It is suggested in the passage that the tailor does never speak the truth
because
1. He cannot keep the word he gives

2. He does not know lying is a crime
3. He thinks lying will help him.

Q97. According to the author “thoughtless actions”
1. Torment others
2. Are strictly not misdemeanors
3. Mean nothing and are soon forgotten
4. Are punishment for children
Answer: 3
Q98. How does ‘lying’ a ect human relationships?
1. It makes the relationships ‘human’
2. It reduces the a nity among people
3. It promotes togetherness among diverse people
4. It does not a ect at all as it is merely words
Answer: 2
Q99. Read the following passage from Antigone and answer question
Creon: And yet wert bold enough to break the law
Antigone: Yea, for these laws were not ordained by Zeus.
And she who sits enthroned with gods below,
Justice enacted not these human laws.
Nor did I deem that thou, a mortal man,
Could’st by a breath annual and override.
The immutable unwritten laws of Heaven
The three kinds of laws implicit in Antigone’s response are:
1. Human, unwritten, written
2. Of Gods, of Zeus, of Justice
3. Of Gods, of Justice, of Man

the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredibility,
it was the season of light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before
us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in
short, the period was far like the present period, that some of its noisiest
authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative
degree of comparison only.
The Age described in the above passage is best described as the Age of
1. Parallelisms
2. Inconsistencies
3. Contraries
4. Anomalies
