Question Paper (based on Predicted Pattern 2016)

Q1- 5. Directions: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the
passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Pay careful attention.
Illiteracy, which implies 'lack of education or the 'inability to read and write' is destroying societies like a
scourge. It is no doubt a curse for a living nation. The existence of nations can be threatened if the
percentage of illiteracy is very high. An illiterate person is unable to find the right way for himself and as
a result, he becomes a slave to others who may use him like a puppet and take advantage of him. On the
other hand, a literate person understands what is beneficial and harmful for him. It would not be
incorrect to say that illiteracy is borne out of poverty.
Today, it is very important to be educated because only an educated and a literate person can manage
things more precisely than the ones who are not. Our society must understand this fact. Many tribes
and backward societies restrict girls from learning to read and write, such societies are actually a
menace for the whole nation. Many poor nations are now slaves of other nations just because of very
low literacy level. An illiterate man is more vulnerable to poverty, hunger, slavery and diseases. Diseases
spread due to unawareness about health and hygiene and unawareness is the result of illiteracy.
The ill-effects of illiteracy is infinite. But the problem is that people dont understand it well. Even the
educated people do not want their daughters to achieve the basic education. No doubt that world
literacy rates have increased since the last few decades but still there are some countries where literacy
level is below average. These countries are more prone to war and slavery. Unfortunately, some
developed countries also consist of areas where literacy levels are very low. Hence, it is the
responsibility of governments of the concerned nations to start literacy programs to guide the people
about the importance of literacy and convince them to send their children to school.

Thebes. After the death of Oedipus, Civil war broke out and a battle was waged in front of the seventh
gate of Thebes-his two sons led opposing factions and at the height of the battle fought and killed each
other. Oedipus brother, Creon, uncle of Antigone, was now undisputed master of the city. Creon
resolved to make an example of the brother who had fought against him, Polynices, by refusing the right
of honourable burial. The penalty of death was promulgated against any who should defy this order.
Antigone was distraught. Polynices had been left unburied, unwept, a feast of flesh for keen eyed
carrion birds. Antigone asks her sister Ismene for it was a challenge to her royal blood. Now it is time to
show whether or not you are worthy of your royal blood. Is he not my brother and yours? Whether you
like it or not, I shall never desert him- never! But Ismene responds, How could you dare when Creon
has expressly forbidden it is not for us to fight against men. With a touch of bitterness, Antigone
releases her sister from the obligation to help her, but argues she cannot shrug off the burden. If you
die for it , what happiness! Live, if you will live and defy the holiest laws of heaven.

no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it,
you cannot turn down the pages, and you cannot use it familiarly. But your own books belong to you;
you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. Books are for use, not for
show. A good reason for marking favorite pages in books is that this practice enables you to remember
more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly. Everyone should begin collecting a private
library in youth; one should have ones own book-shelves, which should not have doors, glass windows,
