Test IV: General English
Directions (Q. 141-150): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain
words are printed in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
In a village by the Ganges, there once lived a Brahmin.
He was a religious and God-fearing man. He earned his living
by performing prayers in other people's home. One day the
Brahmin was called to the neighbouring village to perform
some ceremony. In return for his services, he received a
goat as a present.
The Brahmin was very pleased and he set off for home
with a goat on his shoulders. He thought to himself, "This
was a generous family, to have given me a goat. My wife
and children will be very pleased." As he walked down the
path to his village he did not notice that he was being
followed by three thieves. "We have to get that plump goat,"
said the first thief. "It will make a great dinner for us," said
the second thief. "We need to think of a plan fast," said the
third. The three thieves then decided to fool the Brahmin.
The first thief approached the Brahmin, saying "Dear
Brahmin, you are a holy man. Why are you carrying a dirtydog on your shoulders?" "A dirty dog," can't you see that
it is a poor little goat. Are you blind ?" said the Brahmin
angrily. The first thief laughed and walked away.
The Brahmin looked at the goat. Indeed, it was a goat,
and so he resumed hisjourney homeward. Alittle further down
the path, the Brahmin came across the second thief. The
second thief said in astonishment, "You are a holy man, why
are you carrying a dead calf on your shoulde rs?" The Brahmin
said furiously, "This is a live goat and not a dead calf."
The Brahmin had barely walked some distance when
the third thief cam e. Waving his arm toward s the Brahmi n,
he said, "Dro p that donkey at once. If peopl e see you
carrying a donkey on your shoulders, what will they think of you ?" By now the Brahmi n was very confused. Thr ee
different people had told him that he was carrying an animal
other than a goat. Something must be wrong, he thought.
"This is not a goat; this must be some monster that keeps
changing its form." The terrified Brahmin threw the goat
and ran home as fast as he could.
The three thieves had a great laugh. They had
succeeded in their plan. They picked up the goat and left.
How foolish the Brahmin had been to have believed them!
141. Why did the Br ahmin let go of the goa t?
1) He believed the first thief.
2) He believed the second thief.
3) He believed the third thief.
4) He thought the goat was a monster.
5) He did not want the goat.
142. How did the Brahmin get the goat ?
1) He bought it from the market.
2) He stole it from the three thieves.
3) It was given to him as a present.
4) He found the lost goat while on his way home.
5) He took it on loan.
143. The thieve s were fol lowing the Brahm in because
1) he was carrying a nice plump goat.
2) they wanted his blessings.
3) they did not know the way to the village.
4) he was a rich man.
5) he was unknown to them.
144. How did the Brahmin earn his living?
1) By selling goats 2) By performing prayers
3) By making sacrifices 4) By receiv ing donations
5) None of these
145. The v arious forms taken by the goat were
1) A dirty dog 2) A dead calf 3) A donkey
4) All 1), 2) and 3) 5) Only 1) and 2)
146. Why was the Brahm in con fused?
1) He noticed three different persons following him to his
village.
2) His wife was upset to see him with the plump goat.
3) He was surprised that the goat could take so many
different forms.
4) Three different people told him he was carrying an
animal other than a goat.
5) He lost his way to the village after performing the
ceremony.
