The Advantages and Disadvantages of Plastic Money. Politics, Accountability and Good Governance, LIX Make a précis of the following passage and give it a suitable heading: 20 An earthquake comes like a thief in the night, without warning, It was necessary, therefore to invent instruments that neither slumbered nor slept. Some devices were quite simple, One, for instance, consisted of rods of various lengths and thicknesses which would stand up on end like ninepins. When a shock came it shook the rigid table upon which these stood. If it were gentle, only the more unstable rods fell. If it were severe, they all fell. Thus, the rods by falling and by the direction in which they fell, recorded for the slumbering scientist, the strength of a shock that was too weak to waken him and the di rom which it came. But, instruments far more delicate than that were needed if any really serious advance was to be made. The ideal to be aimed at was to devise an instrument that could record with a pen on paper the movements, of the ground or of the table, as the quake passed by. While I write my pen moves but the paper keeps still. With practice, no doubt, I could, in time, learn to write by holding the pen still while the paper moved. That sounds a silly suggestion, but that was precisely the idea adopted in some of the early instruments (seismometers) for recording earthquake waves| But when table, penholder and paper are all moving how is it possible to write legibly?}The key to a solution of that problem lay in an everyday observation. Why does a person standing in a bus or train tend to fall when a sudden start is made?Ht is because his feet move on, but his head stays still. The laws of nature are constant and their consistency provides us chances to come up with new methods and instruments to evaluate the effects ‘of natural happenings especially on human life. inte light of the above passage, answer the following questions. 15 (@)__ Why was it necessary to invent instruments to observe an earthquake? @¥ How would the shocks affect the instruments to measure earthquake?

As a results» : human knowledge made divine guidance subordinate to its interpretation. Every new Daa interpretation claims to be based on the original teachings, but in actuality interpretations keppchanging with the requirements of time and give new meaning to scriptures and the sayings of prophets and apostles. ‘THere can be different interpretations of a text and each one contrary to the other because they fulfill the needs of different groups in a society. The new meaning of original teachings is never accepted universally, but only by those whose interests it serves. The survival of a religion which has not lost its vitality depends on its being interpreted repeatedly with changing times to readjust its teachings to suit different groups, including the ruling classes.» Many scholars in subcontinent India during British Imperialism interpreted Islam with a new perspective convincing Indian Muslims to recognize the new realities and adapt themselves to the changed environment. These scholars adopted a bold approach and rejected the established and prevalent concepts of religion. The religion is now interpreted through imultidisciplinary approach connecting it with social sciences humanities and natural sciences. This new perspective in religious studies has proven helpful, for it has taken back the long-held traditional interpretation which lacked scholarly research in its interpretation. This new trend has been witnessed in a number of countries.[ a Wes eae nflish - corm ay i raw. el Ne xa. com PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, HYDERABAD.

Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water: Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with'air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy ftom the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of healband moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. SOONERS HENNE HONOR HENESEARE NNO ENERSEKEEE EKA EMENEE:SIND! wr oie E [SSION, BX” AD.

Make a précis of the following passage and furnish it with a suitable title: Evidence of the work of the earliest military engineers can be found in the hill forts constructed in Europe during the late Iron Age, and later in the massive fortresses built by the Persians. One epic feat of ancient military engineering was the pontoon bridge built by the engineers of the Persian king Xerxes across the Hellespont(modem Dardanelles), which, according to Herodotus, was accomplished by a mile-long chain of boats, 676 in all, arranged in ‘two parallel rows. The greatest ancient defensive work ever built is the Great Wall of China, which was begun in the 3 Century BC to defend China's northern frontier from its barbarian ‘eighbours. Counting its tributary branches, the Great Wallis about 6,400 km (4,000 miles) long and dwarfs any other set of fortifications ever built. The Romans were the preeminent military ‘engineers of the ancient Westem world, and examples of their works can sill be seen throughout Europe and the Middle East. The Romans’ castra, or military garrison towns, were protected by Famparts and ditches and interconnected by straight military roads along which their legions could speedily march. Like the Chinese, the Romans also built walls to protect their empite, he most famous of these being Hadrian's Wallin Britain which is 73 miles (17 km) long and wis built to protect the northern frontier from Piets and Scotsy The troops and engineers af the legions ‘built many of the greatest works of the Roman Empire, including its extensive network of roatl the watchtowers, forts, and garrison towns manned by its troops; the aqueducts that brought wa to cities and towns; and various bridges, harbours, naval bases, and lighthouses.
