Directions (87‐91): in the following questions, you haveeight brief passage with 5/10 questions following eachpassage. Read the passages carefully and choose the bestanswer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Passage This is the thorny side of the prevailing examination

system. Most examiners have perfected their skill in making it a veritable nightmare for majority of the students.

Quite unwittingly we have increased the enrolment in schools alarmingly. Most of the students have neither the requisite aptitude to learn nor any clear-cut goal in life. The destiny of students would be decided in the final examination of a written nature to test bookish, rote memory.

All laudable objectives of kindling originality and problem solving ability are trumpeted only in education seminars and workshops. Ultimately all these are gone with the wind. No wonder examination hangs like a Damocles’ sword.

Compare this with a related discipline such as music and dance. None would venture discipline such as music and dance. None would venture to seek entry into such centres of excellence unless one has proven aptitude to profit from training. Here the students have excellent rapport with their teachers who evaluate their performance on a day-to-day basis and provide constant feedback. Students enjoy practicing at home what they are taught in class.

As therealise their progress by constant reinforcement they welcome and enjoy examination in class. Under the watchful guidance of committed teachers, students grow and blossom out as well-trained artistes.

This is possible and feasible because the teacher-pupil ratio is ideal and the attitude of the learner is based on devotion and dedication. 87. According to the passage, the objectives of

education should be (1) to teach dance, music and drama to students in schools and colleges (2) to reduce teacher-pupil ratio (3) not to test bookish, rote memory (4) to encourage originality and problem solving ability

88. “Ultimately all these are gone with the wind.” The above sentence shows that the writer

(1) enjoys the prevailing situation (2) regrets our ignoring the aims of true education (3) is quite satisfactory about the syllabus (4) makes fun of teachers and their students 89.

examinations 90. The writer is dissatisfied with the examiners

because they test students (1) Memory (2) Originality (3) Aptitude (4) creativity 91. The writer’s intention to compare the topic of

discussion with that of dance and music is to (1) Show how students of dance and music enjoy

not only learning but also examinations (2) Popularise dance and music among all children (3) Congratulate teachers who take good care of

their students (4) Prove that dance and music alone can bring

peace to us 92. In a certain code MORNING is written as SPNMFMH.
