PART II
SAT (English)Directions (1 to 5): Read the passage and answer the questions given below:
There was a marked difference of quality between the personages who haunted near bridge of brick and the personages who haunted the far one of stone. Those of lowest character preferred the former, adjoining the town; they did not mind the glare of the public eye. They had been of no account during their successes; and though they might feel dispirited, they had no sense of shame in their ruin. Instead of sighing at their adversaries they spat, and instead of saying the iron had entered into their souls they said they were down in their luck. The miserables who would pause on the remoter bridge of a politer stamp person who did not know how to get rid of the weary time. The eyes of his species were mostly directed over the parapet upon the running water below. While one on the town ward bridge did not mind who saw him so, and kept his back to parapet to survey the passerby, one on this never faced the road, never turned his head at coming foot-steps, but, sensitive on his own condition, watched the current whenever a stranger approached, as if somestrangefishinterestedhim,thougheveryfinnedthinghadbeenpoachedoutof the rivers years before. 1. In this passage the author is trying to
a. explain the difference between the construction of the two bridgesb. describe the way different sections of people like to dressc. explain the variety of ways in which strangers can be treatedd. describe how people of different classes behaved when unhappy

5. The two bridges were knowna. for their similar designb. for being equidistant from townc. for being haunted placesd. for attracting dejected people to them
Directions (6 to 10): Read the passage and answer the questions given below:
Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in a countrys history gives life, growth and unity but, at the same time, it has a tendency to limit one, because one thinks of ones country as something different from the rest of world. Ones perceptive changes and one is continuously thinking of ones own struggles and virtues and failing to the exclusion of other thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism which is the symbol of growth for a people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that growth in mind. Nationalism, when it becomes successful sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way and becomes a danger internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow, you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good, becomes not only static but aggressive andsomethingthatbreedsconflictandhatredwhenlookedatfromawrongpointofview.Howareyoufindabalance,Idontknow.Apartfromthepoliticalandeconomic problems of the age, perhaps, that is the greatest problem today because behind it there is tremendous search for something which it cannot found. We turn to economic theories because they have an undoubted importance. It is folly to talk of culture or even of God. When human beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life to human beings. That is where economies come in. Human beings today are not in mood to tolerate this suffering and starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equallyshared.Othersprofitwhiletheyonlybeartheburden.
6. The greatest problem in the middle of the passage refers to the question.a. how to mitigate hardship to human beingsb. how to contain the dangers of aggressive nationalism.c. how to share the economic burden equallyd. how to curb international hatred
7. Negative national feeling can make a nationa. selfish b. self-centredc. indifferent d. dangerous
8. Suitable title for this passage can bea. Nationalism breeds unityb. Nationalisma road to world unityc. Nationalism is not enoughd. Nationalism and national problems
