Direction (for Q.No.31-40): Read the following passages and answer the questions that
follow:
Passage-I
The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about
the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the results of
scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively
by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these
aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community
who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know
something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they
7
probably know hardly more than what any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless
or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole
thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of
the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method
but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce
it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which educated people
respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such
as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of
science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only way of
learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until
the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is
the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of
science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.
31. 7KHDXWKRU¶VDWWLWXGHWRVHFRQGDU\ and public school education in the sciences is
a) ambivalent
b) contemptuous
c) supportive
d) satirical
32. 7KHZRUGµSDOSDEO\¶PRVWQHDUO\PHDQV
a) empirically
b) obviously
c) tentatively
d) markedly
33. The author blames all of the following for the failure to impart scientific method through
the education system except
a) Lack of interest on the part of students

b) examination methods
c) lack of direct experience
d) the social and education systems
34. If the author were to study current education in science to see how things have changed
since he wrote the piece, he would probably be most interested in the answer to which of
the following questions?
a) Do students know more about the world about them?

b) Do students spend more time in laboratories?
c) Can students apply their knowledge logically?
d) Have textbooks improved?
8
35. Astrology is mentioned as an example of
a) a science that needs to be better understood

b) a belief which no educated people hold
c) something unsupportable to those who have absorbed the methods of science
d) the gravest danger to society
Passage-II
A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Delhi to the great
confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the
pavement was the place for pedestrians, but she replied: µI¶m going to walk where I like.
We¶ve got liberty now.¶ It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the
pedestrian to walk down the middle of the road, then the end of such liberty would be
universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody else¶s way and nobody would get
anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy. There is a danger of the
world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, and it is just as
well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. Liberty is not a personal affair
only, but a social contract. It is an accommodation of interests. In matters which do not touch
anybody else¶s liberty, of course, I may be as free as I like. But directly we step out of that
kingdom, our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people¶s liberty. There
are a lot of people in the world, and I have to accommodate my liberty to their liberties. We
are all liable to forget this, and unfortunately we are much more conscious of the
imperfections of others in this respect than of our own. It is in the small matters of conduct,
in the observance of the rule of the road, that we pass judgment upon ourselves, and declare
that we are civilized or uncivilized.
