I) Read the following passage and
answer the questions that follow.
India, a country
of many ethnic groups, is a land of myriad languages, a veritable babel of
tongues and numerous modes of apparel. For the most part, the continental
dimensions of the country account for these variations and diversities.
Besides, there are several religions, sects and beliefs. But there are certain
common links and uniting bonds that people have sought to develop in order to
achieve the eminently desirable goal of unity amidst diversity.
It is true that
superficial observers are likely to be bewildered by the astonishing variety of
Indian life. They fail to discover the one in many, the individual in the
aggregate; the simple in the composite. With them the whole is lost in its
parts. What is needed is the superior interpretation, synthesis of the power of
the mind that can give rise to a vision of the whole.
A keen
penetrating insight will not fail to recognize the fundamental unity beneath the
manifold variety in India. The diversity itself, far from being a damaging
cause of disunity and weakness, is a fertile source of strength and wealth. Sir
Herbert Risely has rightly observed: "Beneath the manifold diversity of
physical and social types, languages, customs and religions which strike the
observer in India, there can still be discerned a certain underlying uniformity
of life from the Himalayas to Cape Comorin."
Answer the following questions:
1. What are some of the reasons why India has
a variety of languages, religions, and customs?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why does the passage say that some people
might be confused by India's variety?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. How does it be a benefit of having many different
religions and customs in India?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Which of the following statements are true
about the passage about India?
A. India is a small country with very few
religions.
B. The many languages and religions in India
are a source of strength.
C. Superficial observers might be confused by
India's variety.
D. India should get rid of its different
customs and languages.
E. Everyone
agrees that India's variety is a weakness.

I) Read the following passage and
answer the questions that follow.
Was it that even as a boy he sensed that in his own country
he would be at the white man's beck and call? Could he, at his age, divine a
difference between himself and the white boy? And did the little white
youngster, so young, such a baby, realize that he would grow to dominate the
black man? Was there an indefinable quality in the white man that enabled his
baby, smaller and younger than his playmate, to make him his slave? I could
find no answer. I could not bring myself to believe such a thing, and yet, with
my own eyes I had seen a little dark boy take orders from a little white boy —
a little white boy, obviously his social equal, and younger and smaller. Were
we, as a race, really inferior? So inferior that even in our infancy we
realised our deficiencies, and accepted a position as the white man's servant?
For a whole day I puzzled over this problem. For a whole day
my faith in my people was shaken. When I passed by that afternoon the little
boys were not there. That evening I thought deeply on the subject.
The next morning the boys were there again, and a man was
standing at the gate watching them. I stopped and looked, just to see what the
white boy was making his little servant do. To my utter astonishment the little
dark boy was striding imperiously up and down the lawn, while the white
youngster walked abjectly behind him.
'Get me a banana!' The little boy ran into the house and
reappeared shortly with a banana. 'Peel it for me!' the little white boy peeled
the banana and handed it to his dark master.
