PASSAGE I

. . . .COMPREHENSION

Directions -(For the 20 items which follow) :IIn this Section you have four short. passages. After each passage, you will find some

questions based on the passage. First, read a passage and answer the questions based on it.You are required to select your an~wers based on the contents of the passage and opinionsof the author only.

Literature and history are twin sisters, inseparable, In the days of our own grandfathers,and -for many generations before them, the basis of education was the Greek and Romanclassics for the educated, and the. Bible for all. In the classical authors. and in the Bible,history and literature were closely" intervolved, and it is that circumstance which made theold form of education so stimulating to the thought and imagination of our ancestors. To readthe classical authors and to read the Bible was to read at once the history and the literatureof the three greatest races of the ancient world. No doubt the classics and the Bible were readin a manner we now consider uncritical but they were read according to the best tenets ofthe time and formed a great humahistic education. Today the study both of the classics andof the Bible has dwindled to small proportions. What has taken their place? To some extentthe' vacuum has been fi1led by a more correct knowledge of history and a wider range ofliterature. But I fear that the greater part of it has been filled up with rubbish,

(a) Greek and Roman classics(b) The Bible

(a) Literature and history are mutuallyexclusive

One day he received a huffy letter from a would-be writer who had a complaint. "Last Jeekyou rejected my story," she wrote.

There isno question in my mind but that yo." are a sham and a disgrace to your profession." I

PASSAGE III As the tortoise tucks its feet and head inside the shell and will not come out even thoughyou may break the shell into pieces, even so the character of the man who has control overhis motives and organs, is unchangeably established. He controls his own inner forces, andnothing can draw them out against his will. By thiscontinuous reflex of good thoughts andgood impressions moving over the surface of the mind, the tendency to do good becomesstrong, and in consequence, we are able to control the Indriyas or sense organs.

11. The author uses the phrase 'inner forces'in this passage. Which of the followingwould be its most correct meaning in thecontext?
