MODEL QUESTION PAPER
ENGLISH

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (Q.No.1 to 4):

Personally I dislike the praise of poverty and suffering. I do not think they are
at all desirable, and they ought to be abolished. Nor do I appreciate the ascetic life as a
social ideal though it may suit individuals. I understand and appreciate simplicity, equality,
self- control but not the torturing of the body, I believe that the mind and habits have also to
be trained and brought under control. It would be absurd to expect that a person who is
given too much self-love can endure much suffering or show unusual self-control or behave
like a hero when crisis comes. To be in good moral condition requires as much training to be
in physical health.
