PASSAGE-1
Probably there was more unity and harmony
in the human personality in the old days, though
this was at a lower level, than today except for
certain individuals who were obviously of a very
high type. During this long age of transition,
through which humanity has been passing we
have managed to break up that unity, but have

not so far succeeded in finding another. We cling


still to the ways of dogmatic religion, adhere to
outworn practices and beliefs, and yet talk and
presume to live in terms of the scientific method.
Perhaps science has been too narrow in its
approach to life and has ignored many vital
aspects of it, and hence it could not provide a
suitable basis for a new unity and harmony.
Perhaps it is gradually broadening this basis now
and we shall achieve a new harmony for the
human personality on a much higher level than
the previous one. But the problem is a more
difficult and complex one now. It was perhaps
easier to develop some kind of a harmonious
personality in the restricted spheres of ancient
and medieval times. In that little world of town
and village, w ith fixed conc epts of social
organisation and behaviour, the individual and
group lived their self-contained lives, protected,
as a rule, from outer storms.
96. The modern man has not achieved a proper
inner stability because
(A) he is still in a state of bewilderment
(B) he is dogmatic in his outlook
(C) he refuses to adopt a scientific outlook
(D) he cannot give up his superstitions
97.

According to the author, human personality


in the past was
(A) seriously limited
(B) fully developed
(C) well-integrated
(D) well-rounded but flawed in part

98.

On the whole, the authors attitude to the


future may be summed up as one of
(A) scientific scepticism
(B) stoic resignation
(C) cautious optimist
(D) naive enthusiasm

99.

According to the author, science is now


(A) broadening our horizons
(B) shedding its old methods in dealing
with life
(C) o pe ning up new v istas in human
personality
(D) holding out a bright future for man
100. According to the author old societies
provided men
(A) a limited world-view
(B) a well-developed community sense
(C) restricted opportunities
(D) sound religious convictions
