VERBAL ABILITY- Set 1- Questions
 
Answer the questions based on the passage below.
 
"We are living amidst terror, hatred, violence, and therefore in fear. There are people who thrive on those, hatred and fear. They have nothing else to them. How did this happen? When, why? I must say to you in all honesty that the style of our politics has created this and politicians and political parties must take the responsibility for this.
 
I do not intend to explain anything which our Parliament might have done or not done, either. We set it up with great longings, wishes and a sense of self-respect. But when I see the way Parliament functions or, perhaps I should say, the way it does not function, it fills me with shame. Parliament is accountable before it is ‘Honorable’. It is obsessed by its honor when it should be absorbed in its duties.
 
And everywhere, money is King. Not the voter, not the Constitution, but money. When something or someone is King, what becomes of the Republic? From the roadside vendor who has to pay a regular payment in some hundreds of rupees to the giant Corporate that bribes its way to contracts with so many zeroes that I cannot count, we are now become a Republic of Cash.
 
We have become a soulless people, a people without self-confidence, without morale. A nation that does not have any ideals cannot survive. So, is there no hope? Is it all finished? Most certainly not. I spoke of the petty machinations of Aurangzeb, of the loot by Nadir Shah. We have modern versions of those amid us. But we also have, amongst us, great souls inspired by Dara Shikoh and Bahadur Shah. If we have men of the kind who killed our Bapu, we also have great and brave soldiers of a united India such as Netaji Subhas Bose would have been proud of."

  • A. Lack of civility in politics

  • D. Money is power
 
Answer +

2. What is a synonym of machination ?

  • A. Action
  • B. Accountability

Answer +

4. What is the root cause behind the country becoming a ‘Republic of Cash’ ?

VERBAL ABILITY Set 3-Questions
Answer the questions based on the passage below.
 
"And so while I am a disappointed man, as disappointed as you, not just in our politics and in our administration but in the reshe, tar and sut, the very fiber of our nationhood, I also know that the so-called ordinary people of India have an extraordinary core of values in them, plain human values that make them help each other in distress and in dejection. The number of courageous Indians who, unfazed by the wrongdoings of so many, continue to fight for justice, for honesty, for service, is amazing.
With their help, we must reinvent ourselves. We have to go back to where we started, to the roots of our ideals, our dreams. That good man, Kamaraj from Madras, you will remember, gave us a plan that we called the Kamaraj Plan. Ministers resigned office in large numbers to go back to the people, to where they came from. That gave us, then, a sense of idealism, of sacrifice and service for India's greatness. I will say no more except this that India needs to be governed by men and women, even if they be from outside of Parliament, outside of politics, honest people, idealists, not self-seekers disguised as pragmatists, patriots who are motivated not by power and money but by the ideals of justice and fair-dealing, giving the nation a leadership that can look us - you and me - in the eye. As I leave you, I have a request: You have shown me love as you have shown perhaps to no one. But please do not iconize me, do not idolize me, do not make a cult of me. All cults are wrong, personality cults more than all others. Disagree with me, show me where I err, correct me. I would prefer that you do that than that you follow me unthinkingly. Oxen and sheep do that, not descendants of Asoka and Rajendra Chola, Akbar and Shivaji."
 
1. What is a synonym of pragmatism ?
 
  • A. Idealism
  • B. Materialism
  • C. Cynicism
  • D. A Practical Approach
 
Answer +
D. A Practical Approach
2. Why personality cults are wrong ?
 
  • A. They are divisive
  • B. They are corrupt
  • C. They make citizens ignorant
  • D. They encourage idolizing
 
Answer +
D. They encourage idolizing
3. Human values make ordinary people
 
  • A. Honest
  • B. Self-confident
  • C. Passionate
  • D. Compassionate
 
Answer +
D. Compassionate
4. 'Oxen and sheep' in the passage represent
 
  • A. ordinary people
