COMPREHENSION
Directions (For the eight items which follow) :
In th1s section, you have two short passages. After each passage, you will find some
questions based on the passage. First read a passage and answer the questions based on it.
You have to select your answers based on the contents of the passage and opinion of the
author only.
PASSAGE--I
If we think about the men and women whose judgement on practical affairs and on conduct
we respect, we should certainly agree that academic education did not seem to be very
important in their being. We should say that some of them were learned and others not,
some rich, others poor. They had no special training or accomplishment. That is why we
contrast the one-sidedness of the expert with the good sense or common sense of an ordinary
man and why democrats think that the proposals of the expert should be improved by the
ordinary man.

PASSAGE-II
The clock struck a quarter past nine as Mary hurried into the big block of offices where she
was going to work. Her bus had crawled through the dense city traffic, making her a few
minutes late for her very first job. She resolved to leave home earlier the next day.
Inside the building she had to wait once again, this time for the lift to take her up to the sixth
floor. When at last she reached the door marked 'J. King, Manager', she knocked rather
nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there
was no reply. From inside the next room she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened
the door and went in.
