Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option:

All great thinkers live and move on a high plane of thought. It is only there that they can breathe freely. It is only in contact with spirits like themselves that they can live harmoniously and attain that serenity which comes from ideal companionship. The studies of all great thinkers must range along the highest altitudes of human thought. I cannot remember the name of any illuminative genius who did not drink his inspiration from the fountains of ancient Greek and Hebrew writers; or such among the moderns as were pupils in ancient thought, and in turn, became masters on their own. I have always thought that the strongest argument in favour of the Baconian theory was, that no man, however indubitable his genius, could have written the plays and sonnets that have come down to us under Shakespeare's name who did not have the liberal education that Francis Bacon received. The magnificent ideals that have ever haunted the human mind, and given us our highest proofs of a future immortality by reason of the impossibility of their fulfilment here, are splintered into atoms by contact with life's realities. Hence comes our sublime discontent. You will notice that your first sensation after reading a great book is one of melancholy and dissatisfaction. The ideas, sentiments, expressions are so far beyond those of ordinary working life that you cannot turn aside from one to the other without an acute sensation and consciousness of the contrast. And the principles are so lofty, so super-human that it is a positive pain, if once you become imbued with them, to come down and mix in the squalid surroundings of ordinary humanity.

40

According to the author, why does the reading of a great book make one melancholic and

disappointed?

  1. ((a))

    Because they are full of sorrowful stories.,

  2. ((b))

    Their ideas are far beyond those of ordinary working lives.,

  3. ((c))

    They have nothing in connection with the real world.,

  4. ((d))

    They only keep you in a make-believe world,

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Because they are full of sorrowful stories.,

41

What does Baconian theory argue about the creation of great literature?

  1. ((a))

    One has to be well-versed in Hebrew and Greek writings.,

  2. ((b))

    Liberal education is a must to create great literature.,

  3. ((c))

    One must live in high altitudes.

  4. ((d))

    One has to be a genius like Bacon.,

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

One has to be well-versed in Hebrew and Greek writings.,

42

In what context has the phrase "highest altitude" been used?

  2. ((b))

    in the context of Shakespeares plays and sonnets,

Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option:

A self-sufficient village, based on agriculture carried on with primitive plough and bullock-power and handicrafts created by means of simple instruments, was a basic feature of pre-British Indian society. The self-sufficient village as the basic economic unit had existed for centuries in India and, except for some minor modifications, had survived till the advent of the British rule, in spite of all political convulsions, religious upheavals and devastating wars. It stood impregnable in the face of all foreign invasions, dynastic changes, all violent territorial shifting in inter-state struggles. Kingdoms rose and collapsed but the self-sufficient village survived. The village communities are little republics having nearly everything that they want within themselves, and almost independent of any foreign relations. They seem to last within themselves where nothing else lasts. Dynasty after dynasty tumbles down; revolution succeeds revolution. Hindu, Pathan, Moghul, Maratha, Sikh, English are all masters in turn; but the village communities remain the same. The village population was mainly composed of peasants. The village committee, representing the village community which was the de facto owner of the village land, distributed this land among the peasant families in the form of holdings. Each holding was cultivated by the peasant family by means of the collective labour of its members and with the aid of the primitive plough and bullocks. The peasant family enjoyed a traditional hereditary right to possess and cultivate its holding from generation to generation.
