Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions set below:

Nationalism of course, is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in a country’s history

gives life, growth and unity but, at the same time, it has a tendency to limit one, because one
thinks of one’s country as something different from the rest of the world. One’s perspective
changes and one is continuously thinking of one’s own struggles and virtues and failing to the
exclusion of other thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism which is the symbol of
growth for a people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that growth in the mind.
Nationalism, when it becomes successful, sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way
and becomes a danger internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow, you arrive at the
conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can
turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good becomes not only static but aggressive and
something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How
are you to find a balance, I don’t know. Apart from the political and economic problem of the
age, perhaps that is the greatest problem today because behind it there is a tremendous
search for something which it cannot find. We turn to economic theories because they have
an undoubted importance. It is folly to talk of culture or even God when human beings starve
and die. Before we can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life
to human beings. That is where economics comes in. Human beings today are not in the
mood to tolerate this suffering and starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is
not equally shared. Others profit while they only bear the burden.

a) Nationalism – a road to world unity
b) Nationalism breeds unity
c) Nationalism and national problems
d) Nationalism is not enough

48. Aggressive nationalism

a) isolates the country
b) endangers national unity
c) leads to stunted growth
d) breeds threat to international relations

49. Negative national feeling can make a nation

a) dangerous
b) indifferent
c) self-centered
d) selfish

50. ‘Others’ in the last sentence refers to

a) other neighbours
b) other nations
c) other communities
d) other people
