    Direction for question: You have a passage followed by questions based on it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
    Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellow, it can also, if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of tongue, the use of an unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated man may strike an uneducated listener as pompous.
    Unwillingly, we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener bears a different meaning to our listeners from what it does to men of our class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly with our thought. But one which demands careful handling. Only a fool will express himself alike to all kinds and conditions of men.
