Section 3 Linguistic Competence Test (LCT)Part IInstruction : Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. 2 mark of each correct answer Reverse discrimination, minority recruitment, racial quotas, and more generally, affirmative action are phrases that carry powerful emotional charges. But why should affirmative action, of all government policies, be so controversial? In a sense, affirmative action is like other government programs e.g., defence, conservation and public schools. Affirmative action programs are designed to achieve legitimate government objectives such as improved economic efficiency, reduced social tension and general betterment of the public welfare. While it cannot be denied that there is no guarantee that affirmative action will achieve these results, neither can it be denied that there are plausible, even powerful, sociological and economic arguments pointing to its likely success. Government programs, however, entail a cost; i.e., the expenditure of social or economic resources. Setting aside cases in which the specific user is charged a fee a service (toll roads and tuition at the state institutions), the burdens and benefits of publicly funded or mandates programs are widely shared. When an individual benefits personally from a government program, it is only because she or he is one member of a larger beneficiary class, e.g., a farmer; and most government revenue is obtained through a scheme of general taxation to which all are subject. Affirmative action programs are exception to this general rule, though not, as it might at first seem, because the beneficiaries of the programs are specific individuals. It is still the case that those who ultimately benefit from affirmative action do so only by virtue of their status as a member of a larger group, a particular minority. Rather the difference is the location of burden. In affirmative action, the burden of funding the program is not shared universally, and that is inherent in the nature of the case, as can be seen clearly in the case of affirmative action of employment. Often job promotions are allocated along a single dimension seniority. When an employee promotes a less senior worker from a minority group, the person disadvantaged by the move is easily identified. The worker with greatest seniority on a combined minority-non-minority list passed over for promotion. Now we are confronted with tow competing moral sentiments. On the one hand, there is the idea that those who have been unfairly disadvantaged by past discriminatory practices are entitled to some kind of assistance. On the other hand, is the feeling that no person ought to be deprived of what is rightfully his, even for the worthwhile service of his fellow humans. In this respect, disability due to past racial discrimination, at least in so far as there is no connection to the passed-over worker, is like a natural evil. When a villainous man willfully and with out any provocation strikes and injures another, there is not only the feeling that the injured person ought to be compensated but there is also consensus that the appropriate party to bear the cost is the one who inflicted the injury. Yet if the same innocent man stumbled and injured himself, it would be surprising to hear some one argue that the villainous man ought to be taxed for the injury simply because he might have tripped the victim had he been given the opportunity. There may very well be agreement that the victim should be aided in his recovery with money and personal assistance, and many will give willingly, but

there is also agreement that no one individual ought to be singled out and forced to do what must ultimately be considered an act of charity. Instruction: Tick the correct answer from the multiple choice given below each question. 1. The passage is primarily connected with a. Comparing affirmative action programs to other government programs b. Arguing that affirmative action programs are morally justified c. Analysing the basis for moral judgments about affirmative action programs d. Introducing the reader to the importance of affirmative action as a social issue e. Describing the benefits, which can be obtained through affirmative action programs The author mentions toll roads and tuition at state institution in order to a. Anticipate a possible objection based on counter examples b. Avoid a contradiction between moral sentiments c. Provide illustrations of common government programs d. Voice doubts about the social and economic value affirmative action e. Offer examples of government programs that are too costly With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree? a. Affirmative action programs should be discontinued because they place an unfair burden on nonminority persons who bear the cost of the programs b. Affirmative action programs may be able to achieve legitimate social and economic goals such as improved efficiency. c. Affirmative action programs are justified because they are the only way of correcting injustices created by past discrimination. d. Affirmative action programs must be redesigned so that society as a whole rather than particular individuals, bears the cost of the programs. e. Affirmative action programs should be abandoned because they serve no useful social function and place unfair burdens on particular individuals. The author most likely places the word funding in quotation narks in order to remind the reader that a. Affirmative action programs are costly in terms of government revenues b. Particular individuals may bar a disproportionate share of the burden of affirmative action c. The cost of most government programs is shared by society at large d. The beneficiaries of affirmative action are members of larger groups e. The cost of affirmative action is not only a monetary expenditure The villainous man introduced functions primarily as a.

Section4 Reasoning Ability Test (RAT) Part IInstruction: 2 marks for correct answer and penalties of 1 mark for wrong answer Read the statement and encircle the most appropriate answer from the multiple choices. 1. Statement: Total contributions of individuals to political parties were up 20 percent in the last parliamentary election over the previous election. Hence it is obvious that people are no longer as apathetic as they were, but are taking a greater interest in politics. Question: Which of the following, if true, would considerably weaken the preceding argument of the statement a. Per capita income of population increased by 15% during the intervening time. b. The average contribution per individual actually declined during the intervening period. c. Contributions made by large corporations to political parties declined during the intervening period. d.

But one can find good many places in t he cities and towns where people can have food and shelter at lesser cost. Questions: The argument above might be criticised in all of the following ways EXCEPT: a. It introduces an inappropriate analogy b. It relies on an unwarranted appeal to authority c. It fails to take account of costs which prisons have but other places like hotels, temporary shelters or rest centers do not have d. It is misuses numerical data e. It draws a faculty comparison 3. Statement: Since all crows that I have encountered have been black, it follows that the crows I will see in Jodhpur when I go to live there, shall also be black. Questions: Which of the following most closely parallel the reasoning of the preceding argument? a. Some birds are incapable of flight; there fore, crows are probably incapable of flight. b. Every ballet I have attended has failed to interest me; so theatrical production, which fails to interest me, must be a ballet. c.

Statement: We should abolish the public education system and allow schools to operate as autonomous units competing for students.

Since schools that cannot attract students will close, we will see an overall improvement in the quality of education. Questions: Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the argument above? a. Schools will make sure that all parents and students are thoroughly informed about programs offered. b. Most students and parent will select a school based upon the convenience of its location. c. Students have different interests and different needs that can best be met by a variety of programs. d.

Section 3 Linquistic Competence Test (LCT) Part IInstructions: Read the passage carefully and encircle the correct choice from the multiple choices to specific questions given below. 2 mark for each correct answer. Life our political society, the university is under severer attack today and perhaps for the same reason namely, that we had accomplished much of what we have set out to do in this generation, that we have done so imperfectly and while we, have been doing so, we have said a lot of things that simply are not true. For example we had earnestly declared that full equality of opportunity in universities exists for everyone regardless of economic circumstance, race or religion. This has never been true. When it was least true, the assertion was not attacked. Now, that it is nearly true, not only the assertion but also the university itself is locked in mortal combat with the seekers of perfection. In another sense, the university has failed. It has stored great quantities of knowledge; it leaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them better. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come. On the great branches of knowledge the Science, Social Science and humanities the sciences are applied sometimes almost as soon as they are learned. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, but almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use Philosophy in defining our conduct. We do not use literature as the source of real and vicarious experience to save us the trouble of living every life again on our own. The great tasks of the university in the next generation are to search the past to form the future to begin an earnest search for a new and relevant set values and to learn use the knowledge; we have the questions that come before us. The university should use one-fourth of a students time in his undergraduate years and organize it into course, which might be called history, and literature and philosophy and anything else appropriate and organized around these primary problems. The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even a tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas the less important ones get solved.

One primary problem is that of interfering with what some call human destiny and others call biological development, which is party the result of genetic circumstance and party the result of accidental environmental able to interfere chemically with the actual development often individual and perhaps biologically with his genes. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with the premeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes; each genetically prepared to carry out a predetermined mission. This can be done, but what happens to free will and the rights of the individual? Here we have a primary problem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say but the students wont learn enough to move to a higher class of learning, And certainly they would not learn anything we are in the habit of making them learn but they would learn some other things. Surely, in the other three quarts of their time, they would learn what they would usually do, and that might even learn to thing about it by carrying new habits into their more conventional courses. The advantages would be overwhelmingly greater than the disadvantages. After all, the purpose of education is not only to impart knowledge but to teach students to use the knowledge that they either have or will find to teach them to ask and seek answers for important questions. 1. The author suggest that the university greatest shortcoming is its failure to a. Attempt to provide the equal opportunity for all. b. Offer courses in philosophy and the humanities c. Prepare students adequately for professional studies. d. Help the students see the relevance of the humanities to real problems. e. Require students to include in their curriculum liberal arts courses. It can be inferred that the author presupposes that the reader will regard a course in. Literature as a course a. With little or no practical value b. Of interest only to academic scholars. c. Required by most universities for graduation d. Uniquely relevant to todays primary problems e. Uses to teach student good writing skills. Which of the following questions does the author answer in the passage? a. What are some of the secondary problems faced by the past generation? b. How can we improve the performance of our political society? c. Has any particular educational institution tried the proposal introduced by the author? d. What is the possible objection to the proposal offered in the passage? e. Why is the university of today is a better imparter of knowledge than the university of past? With which of the following statement about the use of scientific techniques to change an individuals genetic makeup would the author least likely agree? a. Society has no right to use such techniques without the consent of the individual. b. Such techniques can have a positive benefit for the individual in some cases. c. Use of such techniques may be appropriate even though society, but not the individual benefits. d. The question of the use of such techniques must be placed in a philosophical as well as a scientific context. e. The answers to questions about the use of such techniques will have important implications for the structure of our society The primary purpose of the passage to a. Discuss a problem and propose a solution b. Analyse a system and defend it. c. Present both sides of an issue and allow the reader to draw a conclusion. d. Outline a new idea and criticize it. e. Raise several questions and provide answers to them. The development discussed in the passage is primarily a problem of a. Political philosophy b. Educational philosophy c. Scientific philosophy d.

Part IIWrite a precise of the following passage with a suitable title in about one-third of the size of the passage: (10 Marks allotted to Appropriate title 2 marks, Correct compostion 3 marks, Correct thematic presentation 5 marks) Prof. Irving Younger of the Cornell University suggested that our judges should evolve the doctrine that no law-is validly enacted unless legislators voting for it have read it. By this test 95 per cent of the law passed by the Indian Parliament and the State legislatures would have to be invalidated. The national conscience has to be aroused to such a degree that it will cease to tolerate falsehood and dishonesty in public life. Standards of ethics and decency in public life are less easy to enforce by law than by public opinion. Obedience to values which is enforced not by the machinery of clean public life. What India today badly needs, and sadly lacks, is not political leadership but moral leadership, which can lead to a renaissance of true Indian culture. Many young people have been saying that they could run the country much better than the old politicians who have immatured with age. It is difficult to believe that we are living in the same country, which produced the galaxy of talent and character at the time when we gained our independence. It is vicious circle. Men of talent and integrity will not enter public life because of the fifth and the stench; and yet public life cannot be cleansed unless men of talent and integrity enter it. I have great hopes in our young men and women. To the youth of this country I would like to make an earnest appeal to enter public life and would commend for their consideration three maxims:

You must not desert the ship because you cannot control the winds. It is better to try to do something and fail, rather than try to do nothing and succeed. For the rebirth of morality in Indian politics, the period of gestation will prove lengthy and the delivery promises to be painful, but you cannot dedicate your life to a greater cause.

If experts imbued with a spirit of dedication and wisdom were to be inducted into the cabinet and were to be allowed the requisite freedom of action, they could transform this country into one of the great economic powers. Disraeli said, Money is not the measure of a men, but it is often the means of finding out how small he is. By this measure, our politicians must be among the smallest on earth. Our political scene presents an incredible army of pudding-headed mercenaries. We must somehow replace them by men of honour and knowledge. (433 words)

Part IVRead the following passage and answer the questions thereafter in a sentence: (Correct answer will carry two marks and a wrong answer will invite one negative mark. mark will be deducted for wrong composition in an otherwise correct answer). Next, should each of the Law Lords write a separate opinion of his own? Or should there be only one judgment in which all agree? Up to Lord Reids death in 1975 the great majority of the Law Lords were in favour of separate judgments, each writing his own. Lord Reid said that he found that when the Law Lords gave only one judgment there was a tendency for the lower courts to approach that judgment as if it were an Act of Parliament. He said that, in one case, it led to an absolute disaster. But since 1975 the pendulum has been swinging strongly against separate judgments. It has gathered momentum in the last two or three years. Time after time, in cases of the first importance, there has only been one judgment. Time after time the lower courts have felt bound by that one judgment and by all the sayings in that judgment. They are called obiter dicta. They are really sayings just by the way, as if an aside. Yet they are treated as binding. I do not think that is right. Should the Law Lords seek to do justice? Or should they prefer certainty? In the 1950s, under the influence of Lord Simonds, the law was static. But under Lord Reid it became moderately progressive. Nowadays the Law Lords have varying views. Some are for certainty rather than justice. Some are for progress rather than standing still. I have made my own view clear time our of mind. I would always strive to do justice. Certainty, I regard, often, as will-o-the-wisp. The judgments of the Law Lords are still called speeches. This is because the Lord used always to sit in the Legislative Chamber of the House of Lords. The Law Lords, in giving, their opinions, gave them as if they were in a debate. In coming to a decision, the motion was put to the House just as after a debate. For instance: That the decision of the Court of Appeal to affirmed. Those in favor say Aye. Those against say Nay. They Ayes have it, sometime. But at other times the decision is reversed. Nowadays the judgments are never speeches. The House sits in a Committee Room, not in the Legislative Chamber. That is to hear the arguments. But when they given their judgments, they sit in the Chamber itself. Instead of being speeches, they are essays. They are never delivered by word of mouth. They are only handed out to the parties. They are sometimes so complicated that they cannot be readily understood on a first reading. They have to be studied and analyzed word-by-word. All this inevitably leads to long sentences. Every statement of principle has to be qualified by exceptions of some kind or other. Then practitioners and academics pore over them to approve - to comment or to criticize. Always of course with respect. That is the catchword with which the Law Lords on occasion reverse the court below. They differ with respect sometimes with great respect, occasionally with the utmost possible respect. It is just a polite way of saying that they wholeheartedly disagree.
