PREFACE

Message from Pioneer of Sindh Careers Academy


“ Patience is my shield and will my sword ”

“I, being a Civil Servant and Social Activist, have wandered across the Pakistan.
The deplorable thing which I observed, was that our youth is being exploited by incapable teachers as
well as publishers.
Therefore, I along with my experienced team, decided to save our youth from the devastating
unemployment and ill methods of learning.
From our book, the aspirants of competitive examinations (CSS&PMS) as well as of one-paper
commission tests, may gain fruits. In addition to that, it will also prove to be a perfect guide for the
teachers of Government and Private institutions of Sindh.
At the end, my suggestion to our youth is that they should focus on their vocational education and
generate capital through private means, rather than, relying on Government jobs.”
Wish you best of luck!

ENGLISH PORTION
Reading Comprehension
Note: Read the passage carefully and attempt the questions (1-10)
The Aryans were settled in a vast region: in sixteen lands in Avestan period. In addition to their
patronymic and tribal names, they must have had a way to designate each other collectively by the
names of their respective lands. This is why we find that Achaemenian Shahs of 2500 years ago
provide us, in their rock inscriptions, with some thirty names of sixteen Aryan provinces. Among them,
we have Sindhu (Hindhu) and its adjective Sindhyui (Hinduya). This is the first time on record that the
name 'Sindhi' was employed to designate the people of the valley. The word 'Sindhu' in Sanskrit, in
plural, meaning 'men from Sindh', occurs first time in the Mahabharta. Following the Iranian
pronunciation, the contemporary Greek writers use 'Indos', 'India' and 'Indioi', and are therefore the
second on record to call the people 'Sindh'(Jafary; 1981; 65).

Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary & Parts Of Speech


He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great
enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public,
have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means have married
and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason that those that have children should have greatest
care of future times; unto which they know they must transmit their dearest pledges. Some there are,
who though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times
impertinences. Nay, there are some other that account wife and children but as bills of charges. Nay
more, there are some foolish rich covetous men that take a pride in having no children, because they
may be thought so much the richer. For perhaps they have heard some talk, Such an one is a great
rich man, and another except to it, Yea, but he hath a great charge of children; as if it were an
abatement to his riches. But the most ordinary cause of a single life is liberty, especially in certain self-
pleasing and humorous minds, which are so sensible of every restraint; as they will go near to think
their girdles and garters to be bonds and shackles. Unmarried men are best friends, best masters, best
servants; but not always best subjects; for they are light to run away; and almost all fugitives are of that
condition.

always best subjects, because:
(A) Single men are complicated to handle (B) They are not tied up well (C) They work a lot and
are dynamic in personality (D) They are far-sighted
4 W.r.t the passage the best time for a man to marry is: (A) Youth (B) Middle age (C) Old age (D)
He should never marry
5 W.r.t the passage, some rich people do not marry or do not have children because they think:
(A) Children can defame them
(B) They can fulfill all of their needs even without marrying
(C) Wife and children are yet another responsibility
