(Question Nos.65 to 69): Read the following passage and answer the questions
that follow:
The growing
tendencies towards regionalism in the country have had serious effects on
higher education. These tendencies are generally expressed in demands relating
to the medium of instruction. Some of these demands are based on sound
educational principles and are wholly justifiable; but in their most extreme
form they usually indicate either ignorance of the minimum requirements of
higher education or chauvinism of a kind that places consideration of a
parochial character above these requirements. In practice, both have been in
evidence. More specifically, the problem arises when instruction at the post
graduate level is sought to be given in the regional languages.
Most of the relevant literatures with which
students at this level of education ought to be familiar are usually not
available in any of the regional languages. It is true that comprehension is
much easier in the mother tongue, and that the necessary literature could grow
over period of time. But when the range of literature a student is exposed to
at event eh post-graduate level is constricted by language barriers, the
content of education gets diluted. Since the products of such education are
later absorbed as teachers of the succeeding generations, the damage done is
more long-lasting than is generally assumed.
The usual answer
to these impediments is that English need to be taught as a “library language”
and student should be required to familiarize themselves with the more advanced
literature in the subject through this language. In principle this is
unobjectionable, particularly if the “library language” is taught intensively
form an early stage of schooling and the students have therefore no
difficulties of comprehension through this language.

A.
He is appreciative of its steady progress

D.
He presents a critical
analysis of the situation
18. The
medium of instruction at the post-graduate level should be chosen discerningly
because:
A.
Comprehension is much easier in the mother
tongue
B.
It is linked to the growth of personality of the
students
C.
Many of the
beneficiaries have a deep influence as teacher on succeeding generation

considerations

schooling

Alongside of their mother tongue

(Questions Nos. 70 to 74): Read the following passage and answer the questions
that follow:
We all creatures
of the clichés among which we have grown up. From the middle of the nineteenth
century, such phrases as ‘the struggle for existence’ or ‘the survival of the
fittest’, and ‘for a long time the biologist’ theory that the animal world was
like ‘a gladiator show’, have conditioned our thinking. More recently, the
general Freudian atmosphere, supporting the old idea of the original sin, has
destroyed our belief even in our babies, who appear as little gangsters
possessed by jealousy and hate. The result has been that many of us have felt
that it is all hopeless, that it is natural for everything to fight for itself,
that struggle is the law of existence, and thus hatred and was are inevitable.
But during the present times there has been more and more evidence to suggest
that co-operation may be even more important in the evolutionary process than
competition.
While in nature,
there is indeed a struggle for life, there is also such a thing as the struggle
for the life of others, and today the principle of co-operation is in a fair
way becoming established as the most important factor in the survival of animal
groups as of individuals. From the protozoa right up to man this mutual aid has
been established: there is a ‘social appetite’ even in the lowest of organisms.
No longer can domination of the weaker by stronger, whether individuals or
nations, be supported by the supposed example of the natural world.

A.

has led to the destruction of our belief even in our babies?
A.
The primordial idea that
man is a born sinner
B.
The common belief that as we grow up we succumb
to hatred and war
C.
Our gladiatorial instinct for ‘the survival of
the fittest’

Our lack of understanding of ‘the principle of
