Q.1. Answer the following questions briefly :
(2.56-15)
(a) What is true liberation in "The Secret of Work?
(b) What does Intellectual Rubbish stand for ?
(c) Differentiate between pain'
and 'pane.
(d) Make words using the prefixes -im, -en, -un, -im, ultra.
(e) Describe spring balance.
( What is lateral consonant?
Ans.(a) By continuous good thought and good deeds, good impressions will be madeon
subconscious mind. Then we are
inclined to do good deeds only. Thus, we will be able to control
our
sense-organs and build character. After attaining good character, we have to
aim for liberation,
full freedom. We mush
counter baddeeds with good deeds till no evil is left
in us. We must be
attached' doing good in this phase. Just as we remove athorn with another thorn, we have to
to

nullify impressions of bad deeds with good deeds. Then we have to detach ourselves from
good
deeds also to achieve total liberation. This is the idea of true
liberation.
Our work should net affect our mind. When we work like
stranger to the land without
bonding ourselves to it. If we are able to work like that, we are working like masters. If we are
bound by our work, we are doing our work as slaves. We
have to work with love and without
attachment. We must not be selfish while working. Selfish work
is slave's work. Every act of
love brings happiness, peace and
blessedness. Real love makes us 'unattached'. We have to
look upon work as 'worship', dedicating the result of our work to God.

Ans.(b) Meaning of Intellectual Rubbish :

Although it is often said that man is a
rational animal, Russell finds hardly any evidence of human
rationality in the world. Russell find
cruelty, persecution, and superstition increasing by leaps and
bounds; and any one asserting that
human beings are rational will have to be dubbed as an
old foggy not aware of
the realities
Russell gives us an abundance of concrete
examples to prove his thesis in this
essay.

He uses the phrase "intellectual nubbish" to describe all false beliefs, baseless opinions,
superstitions of various kinds, md a general obscurantist attitude. All this intellectual rubbish is
the consequence of an irational view ofthings. People follow certain beliefs, ideas, and customs
without inquiring into their validity. In actual fact, many of these beliefs and customs lead to evil
and suffering in the world.

Ans.(c)The noun pain refers to physical suffering or the feeling of discom fort or distress.
As a verb, pain means to cause hurt or distress.
The noun pane means a single piece, panel, or sheet (as of glass).
Examples:
Some people have so much trouble coping with the pain of divorce that they turn to
drugs or alcohol.

Ans.(e) A spring scale or spring balance or newton meter is a type of

mechanical force gauge or weighing scale. It consists ofa spring fixed at one end with a hook to
attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the foree needed to
extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended fronm its rest position.
Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced. A spring scale cannot

measure mass, only weight.

Uses: Main uses of spring balançes are to weigh heavy loads such as trucks, storage
Silos, and material carried on a conveyor belt. They are also common in science education as
o4SIC accelerators. They are used when the accuracy afforded by other types of scales can be

Ans.(b)Nasals: Sounds produced with the velum lowered and with airescaping through
the nasal cavity alone are referred to as nasals. In this case air does not pass out through the
oral passage. A nasal is a type ofconsonant which, like a stop/plosive, is produced with a stricture

of complete closure, but unlike a stop/plosive it has no simultaneous velic closure (i.e. the soft
palate is lowered during the production of nasals). Thus, the air stream escapes freely through
the nose. The medial sounds in summer sinner and singer represented by the spellings mm, nn

and ng are all nasal consonants. Nasal sounds are typically voiced in most human languages.
The voiced bilabial nasal sound found at the initial position in words like moon, mask.
most, etc. is transcribed as /m/. It is produced when there is complete closure between the lips
and the air escapes through the nasal cavity.
The initial sound found in words like net, nose, new and nest are transcribed as /n/. It is

a voiced alveolar nasal sound produced by making complete closure in the mouth between the tip
of the tongue and the alveolar ridge. The soft palate is raised and the air passes out through the

nose without any obstruction.

The final sound found in words like sing, bring and king is a voiced velar nasal and is
transcribed as /nl. It is produced by making a complete closure between the back of the tongue
and the soft palate. The soft palate is lowered to allow free pasasge of air through the nose.

Ans.(c) IPA: The Internationalphonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system for writing down
sounds. It wás created by the international phoneti association in 1886, so that people could
write down sounds of language in a standard way. Linguists, language teachers and translators
use it to write words and phonemes.Wikipediaalso uses the IPA to show how certain words are
meant to be spoken. Most symbols are letters in the Latin alphabet, or variations ofit, for example
the palatal approxipate (the y in yesterday) is written with i]. In IPA symbols cah be written
between slashes (broad transcription, e.g. "litle"can be written as/litl) or in square brackets
(narrow transcription, e.g. "itte" can be written [lirt]).
Narrow translation is more precise than brod. The IPA has symbols only for sounds

ittle ridges. You can only-see-these if you have a mirror small enough to go inside your mouth

(such as those used by dentists). Sounds made with the tongue touching here (such as t and d)

are called alveolar.

() The tongue is, of course, a very important articular and it can be moved into many

different places and different shapes. It is usual to divide the tongue into different parts, though
there are no clear dividing lines within the tongue. Fig(2) below shows the tongue on a large
scale with these parts shown: tip, blade, front, back and root. (This use ofthe word "front" often

seems rather strange at first.)

(iv) The teeth (upper and lower) are usually shown in diagrams
like Fig. 3.I only at the
front ofthe mouth, immediately behind the lips. This is for the sake of a simple diagram, and you
should remember that most speakers have teeth to the sides oftheir mouths, back almost to the
soft palate. The tongue is in contact with the upper side teeth for many speech sounds. Sounds

made with the tongue touching the front teeth are called dental.
(vi) The lips are important in speech. They can he pressed together (when we produce
the sounds p, b), brought into contact with the teeth (as in f, v) or rounded to produce the lip-
shape for vowels like i: Sounds in which the lips are in contact with each other are called bilabial,
while those with lip-to-teeth contact are called labiodental.

Q.7. Define Diphthogs. Why are they called gliding vowels ? List all

diphthongs. (15)
Ans. Diphthongs: It is possible for thetongue to change its position during the production
of certain vewels. This change in position also brings about a change in the quality ofa vowel.
The movement of the tongue from one position to another position is so gradual and smooth that
it may be called a glide. Vowels produced as a result of such a glide are called diphthongs.
Diphthongs are vowels during the articulation of which the tongue starts at the
DOsition of one vowel and then moves in the direction of the position of another vowel,
within the same syllable.
Diphthongs should not be confused with sequences of monophohongs or pure vowels.
For example, the vowels in seeing are a sequence of two monophthongs/ i: and /l/ and the
 Rech 1Semesten Sobedpapers, Dec-2018 45

middle sound in seer is a diphthong. The monophthong is see (of seeing) is followed by another
monophthong in the suffix-ing. The diphthong occurs within one syllable, while the sequence of

monophthongs is spread over two syllables.

In English, there are eight diphthongs. Three ofthem are centring and three close, while

two of them close at the back, as shown in the table below

Q.9. Write an essay on Swami Vivekananda's idea of work and its nature. (15)
Ans. Idea of work : Man has to change his character and become pure. He has to be
educated and become spiritually strong to get relieffrom the miseries ofthe world. The Bhagavad-
Gita says that we must all work incessantly. The nature of work is such that every work must

necessarily be a combination ofgood and evil. Good and evil actions will have their consequences.
Good actions bring good and bad actions lead to bad. We have to work continuously without any
attachments. By continuous good thought and good deeds, good impressions will be made on
subconscious mind. Then we are inclined to do good deeds only. Thus, we will be able to control

Our sense-organs and build character.

 Engliuh
Our work shou not affect our mind. When we work like stranger to the land with

only, our soul can be free of
bondage. Every work we do leaves an impression on the subconscious
region of the mind. The
sum total of such impressions makes our character. We have do good work without expecting
result to build a good character.

Q.7. Define the following: (5x3=15)

Phoneme, syllable, vowel sounds
Ans. Phonemes in Phonetics: The phoneme is defined by the International Phonetic
Association as "the smallest segmental unit of sound employed to form meaningful contrasts
between utterances."
A phoneme is minimal, distinctive sound unit of a language. The phoneme cannot be
subdivided but a nere change in phoneme changes the word meaning completely. Phoneme vary
from language to language. The phonetic symbols are enclosed with in slant lines /. The minimal
pair test is the surest test to find out iftwo sounds belong to the same as two different phonemes.
If several sounds belongs to a phoneme they are called allophones of that phoneme.

Syllables in Phonetics: Words that constitute a speech are made up of "units of

Sounds". These units of sound are called syllable. One or more phonemes make a syllable.
Therefore a syllable is a higher unit than phoneme. Asyllable contains a vowel and a consonant.
