48-the only true education comes through the stimulation of the
child's power
by the demands of the social situations in which he finds himself.
Through
these demands he is stimulated to act as a member of a unity, to
emerge from
his original narrowness of action and feeling, and to conceive
himself from the
standpoint of the welfare of the group to which he belongs.
The passage best supports the statement that real education.
a-will take place if the children imbibe action and feeling.
b-will take place if the children are physically strong.
c-is not provided in our schools today
d-comes through the interaction with social situations
e-comes from the self-centered approach of the students e-comes
from the self-centered approach of the students Though the waste
of time or the expenditure on fashions is very
large, yet fashions have come to stay. They will not go, what may.
However, what is now required is that strong efforts should be
made
to displace the excessive craze for fashion from the minds of these
youngsters.
The passage best supports the statement that :
a-fashion is the need of the day
b-the excessive craze for fashions is detrimental to ones
personality.
c-the hoard for fashion should be done away with so as not to let
down the
constuctive development.
d-work and other activities should be valued more than the
outward
appearance appearance To forgive an injury is often considered to
be a sign of weakness; it
is really a sign of strength. It is easy to allow oneself to be carried
away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance; but it takes
a
strong character to restrain those natural passions. The man who
forgives an injury proves himself to be the superior of the man
who
wronged himself and puts the wrong-doer to shame.
The passage best supports the statement that:
a-the sufferer alone knows the intensity of his sufferings.
b-people tend to forgive the things happened in the past.
c-natural passions are difficult to suppress.
d-mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
e-a person with calm and composed nature has depth of thought
and vision.
