Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. Passage-I (191 -195) Unlike the masses, intellectuals have a taste for rationality and an interest in facts. Their critical habit of mind makes them resistant to the kind of propaganda that works so well on the majority. Intellectuals are the kind of people who demand evidence and are shocked by logical inconsistencies and fallacies. They regard over simplification as the original sin of the mind and have no use for the slogans, the unqualified assertions and sweeping generalizations, which are the propagandists stock in trade. 191. Intellectuals are the kind of people who (1) demand logical inconsistencies and fallacies (2) ignore faulty logic and wrong beliefs. (3) look for evidence in support of logical inconsistencies and fallacies (4) accept only those things which are logically consistent and well supported by evidence 192. Fallacies means (1) false evidence (2) false beliefs (3) illogical arguments (4) inconsistencies 193. A trait which intellectuals do not possess is (1) critical thinking (2) rationality (3) oversimplification (4) logical thinking 194. The first sentence of the passage suggests that (1) all individuals have a taste for rationality and an interest in facts (2) groups consists of intellectuals (3) intellectuals behave like individuals, not like members of a crowd (4) individuals are intellectuals 195. The majority of people (1) resist propaganda (2) do not possess a critical habit of mind (3) work well with intellectuals (4) possess a critical habit of mind PASSAGE-II (196-200) Unquestionably, a literary life is for the most part an unhappy life, because, if you have genius; you must suffer the penalty of genius; and if you have only talent there are so many cares and worries incidental to the circumstances of men of letters, as to make life exceedingly miserable. Besides the pangs of composition, and the continuous disappointment which a true artist feels at his Inability to reveal himself, there is the ever recurring difficulty of gaining the public ear. Young writers are buoyed up by the hope and toe belief, that they have only to throw that poem at the worlds feet to get back in, return the laurel-crown; that they have only to push that novel into print to be acknowledged at once as a new light in literature. You can never convince a young author that the editors of magazines and the publishers of books are a practical body of men, who are by no means frantically anxious about placing the best literature before the public. Nay, that, for the most part, they are mere brokers, who conduct their business on the hardest lines of a Profit and Loss account. But supposing your book fairly launches, its perils are only beginning. You have to run the gauntlet of the critics. To a young author, again, this seems to be a terrible order, When you are a little older, you will find that criticism is not much more serious than the bye-play of clowns in a circus, when they beat about the ring the victim with bladders slung at the end of long poles. A time comes in the life of every author when he regards critics as comical, rather than formidable; and goes his way unheeding. But there are sensitive souls that yield under the chastisement, and perhaps, after suffering much silent torture, abandon the profession of the pen for ever. Keats, perhaps, is the saddest example of a fine spirit hounded to death by savage criticism; because, whatever his biographers may aver, that furious attack of Gifford and Terry undoubtedly expedited his death. But no doubt there are hundreds who suffer keenly from hostile and unscrupulous criticism; and who have to bear that suffering in silence, because it is a cardinal principle in literature that the most unwise thing in the world for an author is to take public notice of criticism in the way of defending himself. Silence is the only safeguard; as it is the only dignified protest against insult and offence. 196. The writers attitude towards the literary critics is of (1) reverence (2) indifference (3) scorn (4) respect 197. The writers advice to the literary artists regarding criticism of their work is to (1) defend it publicly (2) protest against it (3) withdraw it (4) maintain perfect silence 198. It is an established fact that our literary artists are (1) geniuses (2) talented (3) unhappy (4) successful 199. Young writers are (1) overconfident (2) sceptical (3) candid (4) canny 200. The literary publishers publish only what is (1) best (2) saleable (3) topical (4) handy
