Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Some people consider that man is becoming the slave of the machines. Certainly machines are
playing an ever-increasing part in our lives. Let us hope that they will never become more important
than the men they are invented to serve. Charlie Chaplin, in his film 'Modern Times' drew attention
to this danger. In the film he got a job in a factory that used mass production methods. He had to
stand by a machine with a spanner in his hand. An endless belt passed in front of him carrying
slowly an endless line of articles. As each one passed, the tightened one nut on one bolt with his
spanner. His work was done with one turn of the wrist repeated throughout the day. Very soon his
mind became affected and the film shows the amusing things, which he did as a result of his mental
disorder. Although it was funny, the film had a serious side. It showed that the kind of work which
many people do, far fro giving them pride and pleasure, is more likely to fit the for the lunatic
asylum.
We must all hope that means will be found to retain the advantages arising out of mass production,
while at the same time giving the worker some of the pride and pleasure of the old craftsmen.
97. The last paragraph underlines the need for
a) co-ordination between manual work and machine work
b) retaining the pride an pleasure of the old craftsmen with the added advantage of mass
c) production
d) shunning machines and reverting to the manual works

98. Which of these is correct in the context of the given passage?

a) Machines are more important than the men they are intended to serve
b) Machines play a pivotal role in our lives
c) The mundane woks that people do make them lunatics
d) There is no pride and pleasure in the work that men do
99. Which of these is in tune with the thoughts of the writer?
a) Work is worship
b) Such works as do not give one pride and pleasure make him fit for the lunatic asylum
c) Work makes our body strong
d) None of these
100. The appropriate title for the passage will be
a) Machines and their role in human life b) Machines and their bad effects
c) Machines save time d) None of these

Best of Luck
