Paragraph:1: Before the dawn civilization man overpowered the weak with his physical strength. In the struggle for
existence, it was the survival of the fittest. Might was right. Man didn’t think twice while killing this prey. So the
prehistoric man was almost barbaric and lived solely on the strength of his muscles power. Gradually man became
aware of his intellectual ability. He learned to turn things in his favour by using his brain. He realized he was
superior to all in the animal kingdom due to his ability to think. He began using his mind to deal with day to day
situations.

Paragraph:2:A little wile ago an eastern king, friendly to England, king Zahir Shah of Iran, paid a visit to London to
see what western civilization was like. He was taken to see tanks at Luiworth and bombing aeroplanes at Hendon.
But nobody took him to see the leading English poet, or indeed any poe or painter or musician or maker of
beautiful things. Three hundred years from now the Iranians reading about the visit in their history books will think
that the English must have been a very warline nation who were not interested in the things of peace. And what is
true of England is just as true of the other countries. So long as the nations go on like this, it only wants another
match to set the hay-rick alight and it will blaze again. And so destructive has modern war become that another
blaze will probably burn up civilization altogether.

field of science C. A picture of the materially prosperous western society D.
None of the above
Paragraph:3: The idea of evolution (which is gradual change) was not a new one. The Greeks had thought of it, so
had Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin, and also the Frenchman, Lanmark. It is one thing to have
an idea, we can all guess and sometimes make a lucky guess. It is quite another thing to produce a proof of the
correctness of that idea. Darwin thought he had that proof in his notebooks. He saw that all animals had struggled
to survive. Those which were best at surviving their environment passed on the good qualities which helped them
to their descendants. This was called “the survival of the fittest”. For example, in a cold climate, those who have
the warmest fur will live. Darwin believed that this necessity for an animal to deal with its environment explained
the immense variety of creatures.
