Unseen Passage Practice Set -07 most important questions with answers

CTET Jan. 2012 paper 2, unseen passage practice set with MCQ quiz and answers.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.It is your duty to train and develop your mind and acquire knowledge, as much knowledge as you possibly, can obtain. Knowledge is like a deep well, fed by perennial springs and your Mind is the little bucket that you drop into it you will get as much as you can assimilate. The Brain, which is the physical organ of the mind, is one of the two precious products of the aeons of Evolution : the other is the imponderable ‘Social instinct.’ This wonderful Brain, whose every convolution represents millions of years of Time, really distinguishes you from the animals. Many animals have very powerful sense organs; the eagle, the ant and the dog have keener sense of sight than Man. But no animal has a more evolved Brain and higher Intelligence. If you do not develop and use this Brain to the utmost of your power, you are more akin to the beasts than to Homo-sapiens. Knowledge and mental self-culture will confer untold blessings upon you. You will not be victim of superstition and demagogy in religion and politics. You will know your duty and do it. To be wise and independent in your religion and your politics, not to be doped and duped by the selfish priests and the scheming politicians of Capitalism and so called Socialism: is this not a noble aim worth striving for? Most men and women today are not free and wise: they are like kites flown by the priests and politicians who hold the string. They are fleeced and fooled on account of their ignorance. Half the ills of man are due to ignorance.
