Directions for questions 151 to 160 : Read carefully the passages given
below and answer the questions that follow.Passage-1

The most complex script is Japanese. It consists of a long series of tricky picture
characters, ideograms, which symbolize ideas and objects derived from Japanese
life and culture. In ancient times the writing was practised as an skill from,
studied and guarded by selected scholars. It is beautiful, hard to learn, and
represents the discipline of scholarship and the delightful dedication of Japanese
writers to this day. Japanese children learn to write their languages all the time
they are in school, but very few of them are able to complete the task before
they leave. Yet some literacy scholars are persuaded that no one system is
more difficult to learn to read and write than any other. Whether or not this is
the case, to learn to write always involves practice with a tool which has to be
brought under control so that the writer can concentrate on putting together the
message rather than on the creation of the sign.

151. State which of the following statements is true.

1] A long series of picture-characters go to make the Japanese script

2] Even the semi-literate peasant and artisan can quickly learn the Japanese
script
3] In ancient times ordinary people were encouraged to learn the Japanese
script.
4] The picture characters are like Braille which the blind can also read.

152. To grasp the evolution of the Japanese picture-character script, we have to

study
1] The teachings of Lao Tze.
2] Japanese life and culture.
3] folk tales of Japan.
4] ancient Japanese education system.

153. Very few students complete learning the Japanese script before leaving
school for
following reasons except that
1] it demands disciplined scholarship and aesthetic devotion.
2] it contains hundreds of intricate picture-characters.
3] it is complicated and hard to learn.
4] teachers proficient in Japanese script are a few.

154. If there is a message in the passage, it is

1] the Script should be simple to enable a language to develop at all levels of
literacy, so ideas can spread rapidly for progress.
2] a complicated script can retard the spread of ideas and the civilising
process of a people.
3] alphabets and language should be rooted in the life and culture of a
people.
4] democratising a script ensures the growth of a language and the spread of
progress at all levels.

155. What is the challenge posed by the system of picture-signs?

1] The characters in the script lend themselves to different meaning at
different times.
2] Many of the characters become obsolete quickly.
3] The writer has to concentrate on the formation of the signs as well as
putting his message together.
4] All of the above.

Passage-2

I do not appreciate of forbiddance by law. According to me, it is a worthless

attempt at a self-arrogated virtue. Wine is as old as gods and it has come down
to us through ages and scriptures as the supreme soothe for the human agony.
It is our legacy of an age when gods were mortal and men were divine, and
though wine has been accursed as an hateful evil since its first sip by man, he
has not stopped drinking at its bubbling fountain of vice and forgetfulness. A
nation that needs legislation to maintain the virtue of its people is really
unfortunate. Saints have preached great sermons on the immoral of drinking
but this Christian scriptures of the saints has always remained a bad sermon in
the world of sinners. It is good for the saints to preach but stupid for the state
to enforce that preaching, for what is enforced by law ceases to be moral. A
virtue is a virtue only when it is acquired through self-realisation, not when is is
pushed on the lives of the people. Every new law creates a new group of law-
breakers and one more sin is added to the sum-total of human crimes. As
Goldsmith says that virtue which requires, to be ever guarded is scarcely worth,
the sentinel.

156. When the writer speaks of ‘self-arrogated virtue’, who has arrogated virtue
in his view?
1] The law-court
2] The society
3] The state
4] The police

157. No virtue remains a virtue unless

1] it is acquired through self-realisation
2] the sentinel is discarded.
 3] the state thrusts it on peoples’lives.
4] [1] and [2]

158. The possible flaw in the author’s logic is that it

1] assumes that is the government, not the society, who want prohibition.
2] does not state and refute arguments in favour of prohibition.
3] does not support argument with statistics.
4] neglects the state’s role in pre-empting crimes for social peace.

159. It is stupid, according to the writer, to enforce the saints’ preaching,

because
1] the state shouldn’t set itself up as the guardian of morals.
2] no legislation can maintain for long morality based on sermons.
3] the saint’s gospel and the state’s law enforcement are different issues.
4] neither legislation for nor sermons have succeeded in preventing drinking.

160. State which of the following statements is false.

1] Every part of legislation adds one more offender.
2] The moment law tries to enforce virtue , it no longer remains virtue.
3] Goldsmith says a virtue is one which cannot remain a virtue unless
someone guards it constantly.
4] The sinners have always ignored sermons.
