CTET Jul 2013 Unseen Passage in English previous year MCQ quiz questions with answers
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option:
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force it’s body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So theman decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. Theman continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to supported the body,which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its crawing around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What theman, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
