Direction for Q. no. 1-5: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to undo the evils which have resulted from a knowledge of the physical world hastily and superficially acquired by population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has made imperative. The road to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before us if atavistic destructive passions can be kept in leash while the necessary adaptations are made. Fears are inevitable in our time, but hopes are equally rational and far more likely to bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the dangers to be avoided than of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate our thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is in its very nature a liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in to come, a liberator from the weight of destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter disaster or unprecedentedly glorious achievement. No previous age has been fraught with problems so momentous; and it is to science that we must look to for a happy future

Given below is a report with four blanks, numbered I, II, III and IV. Fill those blanks with the options provided in P, Q, R, S in correct order to make the passage meaningfully readable. India has made a wise decision. That it will not send troops to Afghanistan shows that I. The presence of an alien security force is something that will never be accepted by Afghans irrespective of the intentions. Historically speaking, II as the Sri Lanka experience showed us. More than fighting an unknown enemy, what should be done is to take all steps to carry out constructive work in a war-torn country. For example, III move. Empowering Afghan forces to protect their democratic institutions will help heal the wounds. All help without any intrusion into another's sovereignty should be the goal. Bilateral IV but not at the cost of 'unfollowing' an independent foreign policy.

Given below is a book review in jumbled form. Arrange P, Q, R, S to give its correct sequence. P: The action and the thrill in this book... I can't even describe it. All I can say is the book is a page turner. Even though I watched the film and had a rough idea of what was about to happen, reading it was a whole lot spectacular. Q: Thomas wakes up to find himself in a maze surrounded by other teenage boys who call themselves the Gladers; he doesn't remember anything about his life before coming to the maze apart from his name. Just like Thomas, the other Gladers also have no clue as to who put them in the maze, why they are there, what happened to the outside world and they don't even remember their last names. R: Then begins Thomas's riveting journey to explore the horrors of the maze and find a way to escape it. Some might think the book progressed slowly but I love the way James Dashner builds up the progression of the story, it keeps you intrigued. There are many characters in the book which make it interesting but I think their personalities could have been given more emphasis - guess I'll find out more about the characters as I proceed along the series. S: Okay I know I should've read this book ages ago, since you know it got so much hype and two films came out based on the first two books in the series. So, I finally decided to read it and yes it deserves all the hype that it got. It's a teen dystopian thriller so anyone who loved The Hunger Games, this might be a series that you could pick up.
