PASSAGE -1 (Q. Nos. 41-45)
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 of-forts, to his industry, to his attention
to small things.

(4) Luck waits without exertion, but labour exerts without waiting.
Solution:1

of competence. What does this statement mean ?

Solution:3
PASSAGE II (Q. Nos. 46-50)

Violence has played a great part in the woulds 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 acceptance of
an unjust regime based on violence is against the spirit of non-violence. The non-
violent method, in order to justify itself, must be dymanic and capable of changing
such a regime of social order.
46. The word dynamic in the concluding line of the passage means :
(1) active
(2) energetic
(3) capable of change and progress
(4) all of the above
Solution:4
47. Which of the following statements is incorrect ?

(1) Only violence can be used against violence.
(2) Violence is not inherenty ill
(3) Violence is a historically accepted fact.
(4) Violence can not be ignored.
Solution:1
48. Violence without these motives is possible only in :

(1) practice
(2) reality
(3) dream
(4) theory
Solution:4
49. Indeed, violence is bad, not intrinsically, but because of these motives that go with
it. This suggests :
(1) Violence is basically good.
(2) Violence is bad only when it is associated with certain motives.
(3) Violence is bad because the people who exercise it are bad.
(4) Violence is basically bad.
Solution:2
50. Non-violence, according to the writer, means :

(1) violence without the evil motives.
(2) giving in to the tyranny of the powerful
(3) accepting violence as a fact of life.
(4) none of the above.
