Directions for Questions from 41 to 46: Read the passages given below and answer the questions that

follow them.

Passage - 1

400M people speak English as their first language; another 1.4 billion as a second tongue. Born 1,600

years ago among the Germanic tribes of northern Europe, English became global as a result of trade,

conquest, migration, the media and the rise of the economic power of America.

A new exhibition at the British Library just down the road from two of London‘s main immigrant entry

points, Kings Cross and Euston railway stations, traces for the first time the incredible journey launched

by the Frisians, Saxons, Angles and Jutes who sailed to south-east England and whose descendants

created the Vespasian Psalter in the eighth century. Alongside an image of King David playing the harp

are the words, ―Dominus inluminatio mea‖ and underneath ―Dryhten inlihtnis mine‖ (―The Lord is my

light‖).

Difficult to understand for today‘s English speaker, the roots of the language are nonetheless discernibly

there. From the Vespasian Psalter the journey moves on through England‘s early literary heroes, Beowulf,

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, and on to Jonathan Swift, who wrote that ―hte English Language, as

it is spoken by the politest part of the nation, and as it stands in the writings of our most approved authors,

often offends against every part of Grammar.‖

Henry Alford was among the earliest grammar policemen to write a ―Plea for the Queen‘s Style Guide‖ as

was Robert Lowth, bishop of London and professor of poetry at Oxford University, whose anonymous

grammar was reprinted 45 times between 1762 and 1800. Lowth had a lifelong fascination for the

preposition, but could never make up his mind whether it was indeed a sin of taste to end a sentence with

one. Others who came later were made of sterner stuff, prompting the famous comment perhaps

apocryphally attributed to Winston Churchill: this was regulated English ―up with which we will not put‖.

The curators of ―Eovlving English‖ have been clever to focus not just on English at school and English at

work, but English at play. From spoonerisms to malapropisms, puns and palindromes and the 1,800 words

invented by William Shakespeare—among them "green-eyed", "go-between", "well-read" and "zany".

Strange then that the exhibition fails to explore the one thing that, above all, gives English its witty

flexibility, its gift for pun and double meaning, and that is the absence of accents and grammatical gender.

No masculine, feminine, neuter, acute, grave or cedilla for your free-spirited Anglophone. Not only was

Shakespeare the greatest English writer, he could have been no other kind.

41. Which of the following has been referred to in passage, in context to the English language?

1. The influence of Shakespeare on the development of English language

2. The cultural influence that English language has experienced in the due course of its

development

3. The flexibility, with which English language can be used to create double meanings

4. All of the above

MOCK SNAP-1 Page 6

42. Why did the author quote Winston Churchill in the passage?

1. To highlight the fact that Winston Churchill was notorious for using a preposition towards the

end of a sentence

2. To highlight the discomfort of the self-called grammar policemen, who did not even spare Winston Churchill‘s misuse of a preposition towards the end of a sentence

3. To highlight the evolution in attitude and leniency towards the misuse of preposition by

grammar policemen from Mr. Lowth to the later period Grammarians

4. Winston Churchill was blessed with the power of rhetoric, though he often misused the usage of

prepositions

43. What is the tone of the author in the passage?

1. Descriptive & Suggestive 2. Descriptive & Critical

3. Critical & Awed

4. Descriptive & Neutral

Passage – 2

I met an oriental man in an authentic-looking dark costume, with a Fu Manchu mustache, dark orange

skin, a black oriental skullcap, who I knew brought with him certain essences of oriental wisdom. I

wanted to ask him questions, to get answers, but I didn‘t know what to ask. I asked him why oriental

wisdom stressed passivity and passive reaction. And he didn‘t exactly answer. Then somehow I found

myself doing a task, as if he directed me to do it, as if he was my master guide, sort of like the oriental

teacher from the old television show, Kung Fu.

The task was not very physical, I could do it sitting down somewhere; but it was a frustrating task and

made me tense and somewhat hostile to my teacher. But then I realized I was approaching a sort of

recognition about how trust and frustration and discouragement relate and about how you arrive at a

moment of tension and hostility where you don‘t know how to do something, or you don‘t want to do it

anymore. I realized that there is a certain kind of understanding to be learned from this type of experience

of being suspicious but going on anyway.

But I sensed that for me there is a central link, not related to logic, between that experience of being at the

edge of your patience, feeling frustrated and yet involved in the experience. It is also important to me that

I met such a distinctly and thoroughly traditional oriental, even an historic stereotype oriental. This tells

me something about my respect for oriental wisdom and gives me some issues I might think more about

in my life these days.

Nearly everyone agrees that it takes imagination for a person to produce the liveliest and effective writing

possible. English teachers can certainly be counted among those in academia who have long paid at least

lip service to the value of the imagination. But it is only recently as more and more fields of study have

focused on the imagination and its importance to us that we seem to have become actively concerned with

―etaching the imagination.‖ As a profession we are novices at organizing and describing the ingredients of

pedagogy of the imagination, although some English teachers have no doubt had great individual

successes in working with the creative possibilities of the mind. In this essay I claim no such history of personal success, however. I simply wish to report on an experiment I have engaged in during the last year or so to attempt to teach my students to use their imaginations more effectively. The above ―ivsion‖

of the oriental man was the mental experience I had the first time. I tried to lead my students in probing

their imagination in a writing class.
