they can only feel. There is no day or night for them. There are no winters, no summers, no sun, no moon, and no stars. It is as if a child spent its
life in darkness in bed, with nothing to see or hear. How different our own life is! Sight shows us the ground beneath our feet and the heavens
above us – the sun, the moon, and stars, shooting stars, lightning, and the sunset. It shows us day and night. We are able to hear voices, the

44. Any criminal justice system is an apparatus that society uses to enforce the standards of conduct necessary to protect individuals and the
community. It operates by apprehending, prosecuting, convicting, sentencing these members of the community who violate the basic rules of
group existence. The action taken against law breakers is designed to serve three purposes beyond the immediately punitive one. It removes
dangerous people from the community; it deters others from criminal behavior and it gives society an opportunity to attempt to transform
lawbreakers into law -abiding citizens. We understand from the passage that the basic aim of criminal justice is ___________________.

47. The poetic expressiveness and creativity of Japanese women poets of the Manyoshu era is generally regarded as a manifestation of the
freedom and relatively high political and economic status women of that era enjoyed. During the Heian Period (A.D. 794 – 1185) which
followed, Japanese women became increasingly relegated to domestic roles under the influence of Buddhism and Confucianism, which
excluded women from the political and economic arenas. Yet, since poetry of the period came to be defined solely as short lyrical poetry, known
as waka, and became the prevailing means of expressing love, women continued to excel in and play a central role in the development of
classical Japanese poetry. Moreover, while official Japanese documents were written in Chinese, the phonetic alphabet kana was used for
poetry. Also referred to as onnamoji (women’s letter), kana was not deemed sufficiently sophisticated for use by Japanese men, who continued
to write Chinese poetry, increasingly for expressing religious ideas and as an intellectual pastime. Chinese poetry ultimately yielded, then, to
waka as the mainstream of Japanese poetry. Based on the passage, mainstream Japanese poetry of the Heian period can best be described as
___________________.
a. More refined than the poetry of the Manyoshu era
