Passage – I (Q. Nos. 3 – 7)
The Critical Faculty is the most potent one
in the human make-up. Its pervasiveness and force have not properly been
recognized because like breathing, it is so much a part and parcel of human
activity. The difference between a
simpleton and an intelligent man, according to the man who is convinced
that he is of the latter category, is that the former wholeheartedly
accepts all things that he sees an ears while the latter never admits anything
except after a most searching scrutiny. He imagines his intelligence to be a
sieve of closely woven mesh through which nothing but the finest can pass.
The critical sense is essential for keeping
social transactions in a warm state. Otherwise life would become very dull and
goody -goody. The critical faculty is responsible for a lot of give and take in
life. It increases our awareness of our surrondings; it sounds dignified no
doubt, but it seems also to mean that we can watch someone else's back better
than our own. We never know our own defects till they are pointed out to us,
and even then we need not accept them. We alwaysquestion the bonafides of the
man who tells us unpleasant facts. On the surface it is all very well to say,
'I want an honest criticism; that will help me, not compliments.' I wish people
would mean it.
3. The negative side of the critical
faculty is that
(A) it makes us critical of others.
(B) it makes us critical of ourselves.
(C) it sounds dignified but it is not
actually so.
(D) it is a tool for creating
classificatory division.

(about themselves) generally want
(A) effusive compliments
(B) honest criticism
(C) harsh facts
(D) precise feedback
5. The critical faculty is defined as the
`most potent one in human make-up' because
(A) it is all pervasive and powerful.
(B) it separates the simpleton from the
intelligent man.
(C) it is a help in social transactions.
(D) All of the above
6. What, according to the writer, is the
essential link between breathing and the critical faculty?
(A) Both are required in social relations
(B) Both are exercised by human beings
(C) Both grow with age
(D) Both stop with death
7. The self-defined intelligent man defines
himself on the basis of
(A) his obvious divergence from the
simpleton.
(B) his superior intelligence as a whole.
(C) his possession of the critical faculty.
(D) lar his heightened awareness of his
surroundings.
Directions: In Question Nos. 8 to 10, some
parts of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of
a sentence has an error
8. A chill wind blew (A)/ and icy fingers
of death (B)/ crept up my spine(C) /No error (D)
9. Such rules (A)/ do not apply to (B)/ you
and I(C)/ No error
10. The river(A)/has overflown(B)/its
banks(C)/No error(D)
