General statements and common ground knowledge shall be

Your answer must be written in English.

Please notice that you must provide evidence from the literary
text in your answer (even if it is a single sentence to illustrate
your argument). Failure to do so will be penalise in the final

flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look
into it too much.

5. Read the following quote and provide the name of the author and
the title of the novel it has been taken from:
Good and evil are different, as their names imply. But, in my own
humble opinion, they are both of them aspects of my Lord. He is
present in the one, absent in the other, and the difference between
presence and absence is great, as great as my feeble mind can
grasp. Yet absence implies presence, absence is not non-existence,
and we are therefore entitled to repeat, 'Come, come, come, come.'
ANSWER:
6. Name of the son Mrs Moore goes to visit in India, the City
Magistrate of Chandrapore, in E.M. Forsters novel A Passage to
