They. are the effluence of their very core, the expression of the life itself of the authors. And titerature ‘cannot be said to have served its true purpose until it has been translated into the actual life of him who reads. It is the vast reservoir of true ideas and emotions. In a world deprived of literature, the broad, the noble, the generous would tend to disappear and life would be correspondingly degraded, because the wrong idea and the petty emotion would never feel the ‘upward pull of the ideas and emotions of genius. Only by conceiving a society without literature can it be clearly realised that the function of literature, is to raise the plain towards the top level of the peaks. Literature exist so that where aman-has lived finely, ten thousands may afterwards live finely. it is a means of life, it conceths the living essence. 1.

PASSAGE 2 A classless society, howevery does not mean a society without leaders. It means rather one in which every citizen becomes for the first time cligible for leadership)if he has the power to lead. It means a society’ in\which everyone is given, as, far as possible the chance to develop this power by the widest diffusion of opportunities’ in the broadest sense, and by keeping the career wide open to talents of every USeful’kind, It is often said that a community of eqtials will not allow itself to be led. But in fact, ‘most men are, in most things, very willing to be led, and more in danger of giving their leaders too much than too little authority, especially if they fare free to choose them, and assured that the leaders cannot exploit them for personal economic advantage; leadership, so far from disappearing, will come into its own in a truly democratic society. But it is likely to be a more diffused leadership than we are used to; for a better~ nurtured people will have more citizens with strong wills and minds of their own, wishful to lead; some in politics, some in industry, and some in professions and arts of life. educational This is the idea of a classless society. Some will reject it as contrary to their interest, some as utopian and against ‘Human nature,’ for there are some who deny, indeed if not in word, that the aim of society should be to promote the greatest, happiness and welfare of the greatest number and others who hold, with pessimistic honesty, that most men must be driven and not led.

Dr. Doran's long and interesting records of the triumphs of Garrick, and other less familiar, but in their day hardly less astonishing, players, do not relieve one of the doubt. Garrick himself, as sometimes happens with people who have been the subject of much anecdote and other conversation, here as elsewhere, bears no very distinct figure. One hardly sees the wood for the trees. On the other hand, Betterton, “perhaps the greatest of English actors," is delightfully fresh. That intimate friend of Dryden, Tillatson, Pope, who executed a copy of the actor's portrait by Kneller which is still extant, was worthy of their friendship; his career brings out the best elements in stage life. The stage in these volumes presents itself indeed not merely as a mirror of life, but as an illustration of the the account of utmost intensity of life, in the fortunes and characters of the players. Ups and downs, generosity, dark fates, the most delicate goodness; have nowhere been more prominent than in tthe, private existence of those devoted to the public mimicry of men and women.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. PASSAGE 1 Evolutionary psychology takes as its starting point the uncontroversial assertion that the anatomical and physiological features of the human brain have arisen as a result of adaptations the of the 5 environment over the millennia. However, from this point of departure, these psychologists make unreasonable extrapolations. ‘They claim that the behaviour of contemporary man (in almost all its aspects) is a reflection of features of the brain that acquired their 10 present characteristics during those earliest"days of our species when early man struggled te survive and multiply. to demands reasonable This unwarranted assumption™ leads, for example, to suggestions “that thodern sexual behaviour is dictated by realities of Pleistocene life. These suggestions have a 15 ready audience, and the idea that,Stone Age man is alive in our genome and di¢tating aspects of our behaviour has gainedground in the popular imagination, The tabloids repeatedly run articles about aggression, depression, repression, and 20 anything for which we need a readymade excuse. Such insistence on discoveries relating to genes for a genetic basis for behaviour negates the cultural influences and the social realities that separate us from our ancestors. The difficulty with pseudo science of this nature is just 25 this popular appeal. People are eager to accept what is printed as incontrovertible, assuming quite without foundation, that anything printed has bona fide antecedents. We would do well to remember that the phrenologists of the nineteenth century held sway for a considerable time in the absence of 30 any evidence that behavioural tendencies could be deduced from the shape of the skull. The phrenologists are no more, but their genes would seem to be thriving. 32.

The author mentions phrenologists as a) Pseudo scientists who are the logical antecedents of evolutionary psychologists b) A group with inherent appeal to the followers of evolutionary psychologists c) Awarning against blind acceptance of ideas 4) Scientists with whom evolutionary psychologists share common assumptions. 34. The author apparently believes that the journalists writing for the tabloids fa) Are more concerned with popular appeal than with authenticity b) Believe that human behaviour has a genetic basis ) Run the same articles over and over again 4) Are victims of the human desire to excuse inexcusable behaviour TIOyeUIsSeT MMM uloo'sTe httpsi/telegram.me/UPScMaterials https:/telegram.me/FreeUPSCMaterials ‘ntepstelegram.me/Materialfor£xam SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY‘ PASSAGE 2 Worldwide illiteracy rates have consistently declined in the last few decades. One of the major reasons for this decline is the sharp increase of literacy rates among young women, which is a result of specific campaigns designed to increase educational opportunities for girls. However, there are still an estimated 771 million illiterate adults in the world, about two-thirds of who are women. 35.
