भारतवर्ष में आकाश में जो अनेक छायाएँ घूम रही हैं, उन्हें जाँचने और परखने के लिए हमें पूर्णरुप से जागृत और चैतन्य साहित्यकारों की आवश्यकता है। आज की शंकाओं और हिलती हुई आस्थाओँ को शामिल और स्थिर बनाने का काम उस साहित्यकार के आगमन की प्रतीक्षा कर रहा है जो भविष्य में लिखने वाले फूलों का संवाद आज के मनुष्य को सुना सकें। हृदय-हृदय में जो एक उत्साह है, प्राण-प्राण में जो एक अनिवार्य उमंग है तथा जन-जन में जो मूक आशा किलोल कर रही है, उसकी परिभाषा साहित्य में जायेगी, राजनीति और वित्रान में नहीं। बुद्धि और तर्क मनुष्य के मस्तिष्क को संतुष्ट करते हैं, कर्म की प्रेरणा तो हमेशा हृदय से ही आती है। हमारे सामने जो सपने घूम रहे हैं, उन्हें मूर्त रुप देने के लिए मनुष्य को प्रेरित करना लेखकों और कवियों का काम है।

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.
Where do you think revealing raiments, weird slang, and our youths' dismaying attitudes come from? Very obviously they are the results of attempts to emulate the western world. Probe into the subject, delve into its various effects, you will be shocked at how rapidly Western culture is corroding our culture exclusively ours, exclusively to be proud of, to rust. These spicy sauces of
Western culture surely flatters the palate, but in the course of time won't they canker it too? Western countries do have desirable elements worth copying. But are we taking in those positive elements? No, we seem to be merely diving into the external glitter of the West. The root of all this misfortune lies in the soil nourished by the word 'modern'.
What does 'modern' mean to us? Do we become modern by wearing outrageous clothes that make us look like aliens? Does modernism set in by the profuse use of western slang? Life for today's youth means rocketing in BMWs or piercing flesh, late-night parties, and black nail enamel and red mane. That is what a good percent of our younger generation has become, as a result of the obsessive aping of the glittering West.
Why does the author describe the clothes as ‘outrageous’?
Because the clothes are so unusual or strange that they seem to shock the onlooker.
Because the clothes are so attractive that whoever sees it gets carried away.
Because the clothes are so expensive and gaudy that everyone feels envious.
None of the above.
Correct answer
Because the clothes are so unusual or strange that they seem to shock the onlooker.
What does the phrase ‘obsessive aping of the glittering West’, used at the last of the paragraph suggest?
Hatred for western culture.
Blindly copying the west without being able to distinguish clearly between the positive and negative aspects of western
culture.
A desire to settle abroad.
None of the above.
Correct answer
Hatred for western culture.
What does the world “slang” mean?
A kind of language
A kind of fight or combat
Accessories
None of the above
Correct answer
A kind of language
