    Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
    Culture is not merely learning. It is discrimination, understanding of life. Liberal education aims at producing moral gifts as well as intellectual, sweetness of temper as much as sanity of outlook. Into the art of living, the cultured man carries a certain grace, a certain refinement, a certain distinction which redeems him from the sterile futility of aimless struggle. Culture is not a pose of intellect or a code of convention, but an attitude of life which finds nothing human, alien, common or unclean.
    An education that brings up a young man in entire indifference to the misery and poverty surrounding him, to the general stringency of life, to the dumb pangs of torture bodies and the lives submerged in the shadows, is essentially a failure. If we do not realize the solidarity of the human community, nor have human relation with those whom the world passes by as the lowly and the lost, we are not cultured.
    Consider the following;
    i. Brotherhood of man
    ii. Understanding of pain and suffering
    iii. Better human relations
    iv. Sweetness of temper
    Which of the above expressions describe proper education?

    A) i and iii             

    B) ii and iv

    C) ii, iii and iv                    

    D) All of these

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: D
