  Passage - 1

  "The Law is an ass", declared Mr. Bumble in "Oliver Twist" and it often seems he was right. For punishment does not always fit the crime and it rarely happens that a prison term reforms a criminal.

  Consider the following two cases. The first one had happened in a village in Madurai District. One Gopal Yadav, a hard-core criminal undergoing life sentence in the Madurai Prison came out on bail for two days to perform the last rites of his mother. But he was rearrested on the same evening on the charges of murdering his neighbor?s son to settle old scores.

  The second case too came to Madurai Court recently. Deserted by her husband a drunkard, his grief-stricken wife mixed rat poison in the food and gave it to her four children aged between \[1\frac{1}{2}\] and 9 years. Before she could swallow the same food she was unable to bear the pitiable sight of her children writhing in pain. She rushed them to hospital where she disclosed everything. She was able to save the lives of the first three children, but the law of the country awarded her two years imprisonment (later commuted to one year) on the charges of plotting to kill her children. Would you say women like her are a danger to the society? Would you call them criminal? It is high time that we found other ways of registering our disapproval of wrong doing. To imprison the bad is expedient - when they are dangerous. To imprison the mad and the merely sad, as we do, is not only unnecessary, it is uncivilized.

  The writer says "The Law is an ass" because
  A)
  it is as patient as an ass
  done clear
  B)
  it does not punish the criminals severely '
  done clear
  C)
  punishments do not help to reform criminals.

  Passage - 2

  Once upon a time, there was a rich merchant who had four wives. He loved the fourth wife the most and adorned her with rich robes treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the third wife very much. He was very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the merchant was always in great fear that she might run away with some men. He loved his second wife too. She was very considerate person, always patient and in fact was the merchant?s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his second wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's first wife was very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

  One day the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself," Now I have four wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!" Thus, he asked the fourth wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now, that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the fourth wife and walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant than asked the third wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now, that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the third wife. Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!? The merchant's heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the second wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now, I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company? "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the second wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated. Then, a voice called out, "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, ??I merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"

  Actually, we all have four wives in our lives. The fourth wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good it' all leave us when we die. Our third wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. The second wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been to us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. The first wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure. It is actually the only things the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait we're in our deathbed to lament.

  To buy good clothes for her

  B)
  To give her away to friends

He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the third wife very much. He was very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the merchant was always in great fear that she might run away with some men. He loved his second wife too. She was very considerate person, always patient and in fact was the merchant?s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his second wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's first wife was very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

  One day the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself," Now I have four wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!" Thus, he asked the fourth wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now, that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the fourth wife and walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant than asked the third wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the second wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated. Then, a voice called out, "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, ??I merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"
