(Q. No. 196200)

Violence has played a great part in the worlds
history. It is today playing an equally important part
and probably it will continue to do so for a considerable
time. It is impossible to ignore the importance of
violence in the past and present. To do so is to ignore
life. Yet violence is undoubtedly bad and brings an
unending trail of evil consequences with it. And worse
even than violence are the motives of hatred, cruelty,
revenge and punishment which very often accompany
violence. Indeed, violence is bad, not intrinsically, but
because of these motives that go with it.
There can be violence without these motives;
there can be violence for a good object as well as for
an evil object. But it is extremely difficult to separate
violence from these motives, and therefore, it is
desirable to avoid violence as far as possible. In
avoiding it, however someone can not accept a negative
attitude of submitting to bad and far greater evils.
Submission to violence or the aeceptance of an unjust
regime based on violence is against the spirit of nonviolence. The non-violent method, in order to justify
itself, must be dymanic and capable of changing such
a regime of social order.
196. The word dynamic in the concluding line of
the passage means
A) active
B) energetic
C) capable of change and progress
D) All of the above
197. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A) Only violence can be used against violence.
B) Violence is not inherently ill
C) Violence is a historically accepted fact.
D) Violence cannot be ignored.
198. Violence without these motives is possible only
in
A) practice
B) reality
C) dream
D) theory
199. Indeed, violence is bad, not intrinsically, but
because of these motives that go with it.
This suggests
A) Violence is basically good.
B) Violence is bad only when it is associated
with certain motives.
C) Violence is bad because the people who
exercise it are bad.
D) Violence is basically bad.
200. Non-violence, according to the writer, means
A) violence without the evil motives.
B) giving in to the tyranny of the powerful
C) accepting violence as a fact of life.
D) None of the above.

It is not luck but labour that makes good luck,

says an American author, is ever waiting for something
to turn up; labour with keen eyes and strong will power
turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would bring him news of a legacy, labour turns
out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays
the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labour
watches, luck relies upon chance, labour upon
character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence;
labour strides upwards and aspires to independence.
The conviction, therefore, is extending that diligence
is the mother of good luck. In other words, a mans
success in life will be proportionate to his offorts, to
his industry, to his attention to small things.
191. Which one of the following words in the passage
indicates that the writer does not ultimately
reject the element of luck?
A) Luck whines
B) Diligence is the mother of good luck
C) Luck wishes the postman would bring him
news.
D) Luck is ever waiting.
192. Which pair of words means the same thing?
A) Labour and industry
B) Industry and legacy
C) Diligence and legacy
D) Legacy and labour
193. Which one of the following, statements sums
up the meaning of the passage?
A) Luck waits and complains without working
while labour achieves success although it
complains.
B) Luck is self indulgent, but labour is selfless.
C) Luck often ends in defeat but labour produces
luck.
D) Luck waits without exertion, but labour
exerts without waiting.
194. _________ Labour turns out at six and with busy
pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of
competence. What does this statement mean?
A) Labour lays the foundation of the building.
B) The writer and the labourer are the true eyes
of the society.
C) There is no worker who works so hard as the
labourer who begins his day at six in the
morning.
D) Hard work of all kinds makes people different.
195. Which one of the statements is true about the
passage?
A) Success depends only on hardluck.
B) Expectation of good luck always meets with
disappoinment.
C) Success is exactly proportionate to hard
work.
D) Luck is neccessary for success.

materials absorb that light energy and then
eject it in the form of electrons.

65. C; Zirconium is a lustrous, grey-white, strong
transition metal that resembles titanium.
66. D; Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of
water by transpiration and lesser absorption.
On a hot day, plants transpire heavily and

transpiration loss, even when there is enough
water.
67. B; Gypsum is calcium sulfate which is essential
to the sustainability of most irrigated soils.
Irrigated land eventually leads to sodicity and
salinity unless extreme care is take n. It
