Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions (Qn. Nos. 55 to 60) :
The catalytic fact of the twentieth century is uncontrollable development, consumerist
society, political materialism, and spiritual devaluation. This inordinate development has led
to the transcendental second reality of sacred perception that biologically transcendence is a
part of human life. As the century closes, it dawns with imperative vigour that the first
reality of enlightened rationalism and the second reality of the Beyond have to be
harmonised in a worthy state of man. The de facto values describe what we are, they portray
the is of our ethic, they are est values (Latin est means is). The ideal values tell us what we
ought to be, they are esto values (Latin esto ought to be). Both have to be in the ebb and
flow of consciousness. The ever new science and technology and the ever-perennial faith are
two modes of one certainty, that is the wholeness of man, his courage to be, his share in
Being.
The materialistic foundations of science have crumbled down. Science itself has proved
that matter is energy, processes are as valid as facts, and affirmed the non-materiality of the
universe. The encounter of the two cultures, the scientific and the humane, will restore the
normal vision, and will be the bedrock of a science of understanding in the new century. It
will give new meaning to the ancient perception that quantity (measure) and quality (value)
coexist at the root of nature. Human endeavours cannot afford to be humanistically
irresponsible.

55. The problem raised in the passage reflects overall on

(A) Consumerism (B) Materialism
(C) Spiritual devaluation (D) Inordinate development

56. The de facto values in the passage means

(A) What is (B) What ought to be
(C) What can be (D) Where it is

57. According to the passage, the first reality constitutes

(A) Economic prosperity (B) Political development
(C) Sacred perception of life (D) Enlightened rationalism

58. Encounter of the two cultures, the scientific and the human implies
(A) Restoration of normal vision
(B) Universe is both material and non-material
(C) Man is superior to nature
(D) Co-existence of quantity and quality in nature
59. The contents of the passage are
(A) Descriptive (B) Prescriptive
(C) Axiomatic (D) Optional
60. The passage indicates that science has proved that
(A) universe is material (B) matter is energy
