A survey indicates that love marriages end in divorce. Children born of these marriages are usually brought up by a
single parent and such children experience a turbulent childhood. Therefore, to prevent psychological stress in children,
love marriages should be avoided.
The above observation assumes which of the following?

children.

No doubt sex education is necessary for everyone but it should not be made compulsory in schools. These days, in
most of the schools, co-education is prevalent. When we compel our school children to discuss sex in class with
persons of the opposite sex, it will lead to social problems. It will increase unwanted pregnancies also. The onus should
be on the parents to impart the necessary knowledge.
It can be inferred from the above argument that
(a) Parents are not willing to talk to their children freely about sex.
(b) Sex education becomes very necessary in all coeducation schools.
(c) Sex education leads to unwanted pregnancies among school girls.
(d) While sex education is necessary, it is not desirable to include it as part of the curriculum in schools.

consider an act of violence actually to be violence at all, perhaps viewing it as justifiable and necessary punishment.
The child victim may feel ashamed or guilty, believing that the violence was deserved. This often leads the child to be
unwilling to speak about it.
It is understood from the above that,
(a) Children do not mind being treated violently.
(b) All violence against children is justified.
(c) The victim of violence keeps mum because of feelings of shame arising out of the punishment.
(d) Such acts cannot be termed violence as both the perpetrator and the victim accept it as necessary.

Directions: Read each of the following passage below and answer the questions that follow on the basis of what is
stated / implied in that passage.
There was a time when being a teacher at Lenawee Intermediate School District (MI) meant getting in line&#8212;a
long line&#8212;if you wished to get hold of audiovisual equipment for your class. Teachers had to reserve the
equipment weeks in advance. Next, once the time came to use it, representatives from the district's A/V department had
to quite literally schlep it all to the classroom themselves. When instructors were finished with it, they called the A/V
guys to come on back and tear the equipment down. Depending on the setup a particular teacher required, the process
could take hours. What's more, it was tedious work&#8212;the worst kind of obstacle in a high-pressure environment.
Last year, the arrival of media carts changed the whole routine. Clustering certain equipment and placing it as a unit on
a refrigerator-sized wheeled cart revolutionized Lenawee's A/V delivery system. Yes, teachers still have to reserve the
media, and yes, A/V technicians still have to be the ones to transport it. But with laptops, projectors, document cameras,
televisions, and VCRs affixed to movable carts, technicians simply wheel the equipment into a classroom, and
everything a teacher needs is right there.
Lucas Wilson, one of the district's technology support specialists, says the new system makes the entire A/V process
more palatable and saves him and his colleagues tons of time. &#34;This isn't exactly emerging technology or cutting
edge, but it brings a lot of different pieces of equipment together and provides easy access to it,&#34; he says, noting
that Lenawee now owns three carts in each of its three schools. &#34;Carts in our district have been huge.&#34;
They've been huge in many other districts, as well. At a time when media technologies are proliferating like gremlins, an
increasing number of elementary and secondary school districts are turning to these wheeled wonders to solve some of
their logistical woes. Media cart vendors such as Bretford, Jar Systems, EarthWalk Communications, Hewlett- Packard,
and Span all say cart sales have increased in recent years. Carts don't merely help organize heavy and hard-to-
transport equipment; they also provide a tidy solution for storing equipment, not to mention a manageable way to
distribute limited resources around a particular school or wing. The best part, of course, is that the carts themselves are
relatively inexpensive and frequently come at a discount for those willing to buy enough media to qualify.
According to the passage, the teacher's job at Lenawee Intermediate School was tedious because
(a) they had to reserve the audio-visual aid much in advance
(b) they had to fit the equipment in the classroom themselves
(c) they worked in a high pressure environment
(d) Both 1 and 3

The word 'schlep' in paragraph one is closest in meaning to

(a) carry (b) slave (c) wheel (d) drag with difficulty

The phrase 'proliferating like gremlins' in the passage means

(a) multiplying as in cell division (b) mushrooming indiscriminately
(c) growing rapidly (d) dividing fast

Which of the following is untrue about the new cart technology?

(a) They help solve logistic woes (b) They help distribute limited resources
(c) They simplify storing (d) They are popular only in schools

The best title for the passage is

(a) Wheeled Wonders (b) Media cart; the facilitating technology
(c) Booming Technology (d) Zooming Media

Verbal ability Reading Comprehension2

Directions: Read the following passage below and answer the questions that follow on the basis of what is stated /
implied in that passage.
In almost all the modern opinions of women it is curious to observe how many lies have to be assumed before a case
can be made. A young lady flies from England to Australia; another wins an air race; a Duchess creates a speed record
in reaching India; others win motoring trophies; and now the King's prize for marksmanship has gone to a woman. All of
which is very interesting and possibly praiseworthy as means of spending one's leisure time; and if it were left to that,
even if no more were added than the perfectly plain fact that such feats could not have been achieved by their mothers
and grandmothers, we would be content to doff our hats to the ladies with all courtesy and respect which courage,
endurance and ability have always rightly demanded.
But it is not left to that; and considerably more is added. It is suggested, for example, that the tasks were beyond the
mothers and grandmothers, nor for the very obvious reason that they had no motorcars and airplanes in which to
amuse their leisure hours, but because women were then enslaved by the convention of natural inferiority to man.
Those days, we are told, "in which women were held incapable of positive social achievements&#34; are gone forever.
It does not seem to have occurred to this critic that the very fact of being a mother or grandmother indicates a certain

Page 9 COMMITTED FOR SUCCESS!!!

ELTP-GROUP ELTP-CAMPUS
positive social achievement; the achievement of which, indeed, probably left little leisure for travelling airily about the
hemispheres. The same critic goes on to state, with all the solemn emphasis of profound thought, that "the important
thing is not that women are the same as men - - that is a fallacy - - but that they are just as valuable to society as men.
Equality of citizenship means that there are twice as many heads to solve present-day problems as there were to solve
the problems of the past. And two heads are better than one." And the dreadful proof of the modern collapse of all that
was meant by man and wife and the family council, is that this sort of imbecility can be taken seriously.
The London Times, in a studied leading article, points out that the first emancipators of women (whoever they were) had
no idea what lay in store for future generations. "Could they have foreseen it, they might have disarmed much
opposition by pointing to the possibilities, not only of freedom, but of equality and fraternity also."
And we ask, what does it all mean? What in the name of all that is graceful and dignified does fraternity with women
mean? What nonsense, or worse, is indicated by the freedom and equality of the sexes?
We mean something quite definite when we speak of a man being a little free with the ladies. What definite freedom is
meant when the freedom of women is proposed? If it merely means the right to free opinions, the right to vote
independently of fathers and husbands, what possible connection does it have with the freedom to fly to Australia or
score bulls-eyes at Bisley? If it means, as we fear it does, freedom from responsibility of managing a home and a family,
an equal right with men in business and social careers, at the expense of home and family, then such progress we can

and equal. The only consoling thought is that it will endure but for one generation.
