Science means knowledge, but not all
knowledge is science. I know from my
own eyesight that our dog Chippy lies
papaya; I know from a book that Akbar
was the (191) of Babar, and (192) in
1605; and I know (193) the ratio that India

W e can call these (195) of knowledge
(196) but they are not science.

Science (197) with facts, but not with

facts which have (198) to do with each
other, like the facts about our dog, cricket
and the Mughal ruler; those facts are not
related (199), and so have nothing (200)
with science. Science stars with
observation.

PASSAGE I
(Question Nos. 191 to 195)
Stuck with be development
dilemma? Stay away from management
courses. Seriously, one of the biggest
complaints that organisations have
about management courses is that they
fail to impact the participants on-the-job
behaviour. Some management trainers
stress the need for follow-up and
reinforcement on the job. Some go so far
as briefing the participants managers on
what behaviour they should be

reinforcing back on the job. Others
include a follow-up training day to
review the progress of the participants.
None of this is really going far enough.
The real problem is that course
promoters view development as
something which primarily, takes place in
a classroom. A course is an event and
events are, by definition limited in time.
When you talk about follow-up after a
course, it is seen as a nice idea, but not
as an essential part of the participants
development programme. Any rational,
empowered individual should be able to
take what has been learnt in a course and
transfer it to the work place or so the
argument goes. Another negative aspect
of the course mindset is that, primarily,
development is thought to be about skillacquisition.
So, it is felt that the distinction
between taking the course and behaving
differently in the work place parallels the
distinction between skill-acquisition and
skill-application. But can such a sharp
distinction be maintained ? Skills are
really acquired only in the context of
applying them on the job, finding them
effective and therefore, reinforcing them.
The problem with courses is that
they are events, while development is an
on-going process which, involves,
within a complex environment, continual
interaction, regular feedback and
adjustment. As we tend to equate
development with a one-off event, it is
difficult to get seriously motivated
about the follow-up. Anyone paying for
a course tends to look at follow-up as an
unnecessary and rather costly frill.

(a) personal management

is false?
(a) Some management trainers
stress the need for follow-up

(b) Some suggest a follow-up

(c) Some go to the extent of
briefing the participants
managers on what behaviour
they should be reinforcing
back on the job
(d) The real problem is that
course promoters view
development as something
which does not take place
during a course

PASSAGE II
(Question Nos. 196 to 200)
One may look at life, events,
society, history, in another way. A way
which might, at a stretch, be described as
the Gandhian way, though it may be from
times before Mahatma Gandhi came on
the scene. The Gandhian reaction to all
the grim poverty, squalor and
degradation of the human being would
approximate to effort at self-change and
self-improvement, to a regime of living
regulated by discipline from within. To
change society, the individual must first
change himself. In this way of looking at
life and society, words too begin to mean
differently. Revolution, for instance, is a
term frequently used, but not always in
the sense it has been in the lexicon of
the militant. So also with words like
peace and struggle. Even society may
mean differently, being some kind of
organic entity for the militant, and more
or less a sum of individuals for the

Gandhian. There is yet another way,

which might, for want of a better
description, be called the mystic. The
mystics perspective measures these
concerns that transcend political
ambition and the dynamism of the
reformer, whether he be militant or
Gandhian. The mystic measures the
terror of not knowing the remorseless
march of time; he seeks to know what
was before birth, what comes after death.
The continuous presence of death, of
the consciousness of death, sets his
priorities. and values: militants and
Gandhians kings and prophets must
leave all that they have built; all that they
have un-built and depart when
messengers of the buffalo-riding Yama
come out of the shadows. Water will to
water, dust to dust. Think of
impermanence. Everything passes.
196. The Gandhian reaction to poverty

is
(a) a total war on poverty
(b) self-discipline
(c) self-abnegation
(d) a regulated distribution of
wealth
197. According to Gandhianism, the
individual who wants to change
society
(a) should destroy the existing
society
(b) must re-form society
(c) must change himself
(d) may change society without
changing himself
198. Who, according to the passage,
finds new meaning for words like
revolutions, peace and struggle?
(a) A Gandhian who believes in
nonviolent revolution
(b) A militant
(c) A mystic
(d) A Gandhian who disciplines
himself from within
199. The expression water will to
water, dust to dust means
(a) water and dust can mix well
(b) man will become water after
death
(c) man will one day die and
become dust
(d) man will become dust and
water after death
200. What does society mean to a
Gandhian?
(a) a sum of individuals
(b) an organic entity
(c) a regime of living regulated by
discipline from within
(d) a disciplined social community

questions you have a passage with 10
questions. Read the passage carefully
and choose the best answer to each
question out of the four.
The postmaster first took up his
duties in the village of Ulapur. Though
the village was a small one, there was an
indigo factory nearby and the propritor,
an Englishman, had managed to get a
post office established.
Our postmaster belonged to
Calcutta. He felt like a fish out of water in
this remove village. His office and livingroom were in a dark thatched shed, not
far from a green, silmy pond, surrounded
on all sides by a dense growth.
The men employed in the indigo
factory had no leisure, moreover they
were hardly desirable companions for
decent folk. Nor is a Calcutta boy an
adept in the art of associating with
others. Among strangers he appears

either proud or ill at ease. At any rate the

postmaster had but little company, nor
had he much to do.
At times he tried his hand at
writing a verse or two. That the
movement of the leaves and clouds of
the sky were enough to fill life with joy such were the sentiments to which he
sought to give expression. But God
knows that the poor fellow would have
felt it as the gift of a new life, if some
genie of the Arabian Nights had in one
night swept away the trees, leaves and
all, and replaced them with a
macadamised road, hiding the clouds
from view with rows of tall houses.

passages carefully and choose the best
answer to each question out of the four
alternatives.
Passage I
A crucial element that defines the
soap opera is the open-ended nature of
the narrative, with stories spanning
several episodes. One of the defining
features that makes a television program
a soap opera, according to Albert
Moran, is that form of television that
works with a continuous open narrative.
Each episode ends with a promise that
the storyline is to be continued in
another episode.
In 2012, Robert. Lloyd of the Los
Angeles Times wrote of daily dramas,
Although melodramatically eventful,

soap operas such as this also have a

luxury of space that makes them seem
more naturalistic, indeed, the economics
of the form demand long scenes and
conversations that a 22-episodes-perseason weekly series might dispense
with half a dozen lines of dialogue may
be drawn out, as here, for pages. You
spend more time even with the minor
characters the apparent villains grow less
a apparently villainous.
Soap opera storylines run
concurrently, intersect and lead into
further developments An individual
episode of a soap opera will generally
switch between several different
concurrent .arrative threads that may at
times interconnect and affect one
another or may run entirely independent
of each other. Evening soap operas and
serials that run for only a part of the year
tend to bring things to a dramatic end-ofseason cliffhanger.

the open -ended nature of soap
operas?
(a) Every episode ends shruptly
(b) Consecutive episodes nave
no connection
(c) Each episode ends with a
promise that the storyline is to
be continued in another

story
192. A soap opera has the space for it
to be more

(b) tragic
(c) artistic
(d) naturalistic
193. The economics of a soap opera
form demands for it to have
(a) melodramatic events
(b) promising storylines
(c) long scenes
(d) luxurious space
194. An individual episode of a soap
opera generally switches between
(a) successive intersections of
events
(b) different concurrent narrative

threads
(c) more time spent with minor
characters
(d) apparent villains that grow
less apparent villainous
195. Soap operas that run for a part of
the year usually end in
(a) a cliffhanger
(b) a sequence
(c) a cliff
(d) an episode
Passage II
Two or three days and nights went
by, 1 reckon I might say they swam by
they slid along so quiet and smooth and
lovely. Here is the way we put it in the
time. It was a monstrous big river down
there-sometimes a mile and a half wider
we ran rights, and laid up and hid
daytimes, soon as night was most gone
we stopped navigating and tied up nearly
always in the dead water under a
towhead and then cut young cotton
woods and willows and hid the roft with
them-Then, we set out the lines. Next we
slid into the river and had a swim, so as
to freshen up and cool, off then we set
down on the sandy bottom where the
water was about knee deep and watched
the daylight come. Not a sound
anywhere-perfectly shill just like the
whole word was asleep, only sometimes,
the bullfrogs a cluttering maybe. The
first thing to see, looking away over the
water, was a kind of dull line- that was the
woods on other side, you couldnt make
nothing else out, then a pale place in the
sky, then more paleness spreading
around, then the river softened up away
off and warm black any more, but gray
you could see little dark spots drifing
along ever so far away-trading scowe
and such things and long black streaksrafts sometimes you could hear a sweep
creaking, jumbled up voices, it was so
still and sounds comes so far and by
and by you could see a streak on the
water which you know by the look of the

streak that theres snag there in a current

which breaks on it and makes that streak
look that way.
