Passage :
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions :
The Taj Mahal has become one of the world’s best known monuments. This domed white marble structure is situated on a high plinth at the southern end of a four-quartered garden, evoking the gardens of paradise, enclosed within walls measuring 305 by 549 metres. Outside the walls, in an area known as Mumtazabad, were living quarters for attendants, markets, serais and other structures built by local merchants and nobles. The tomb complex and the other imperial structures of Mumtazabad were maintained by the income of thirty villages given specifically for the tomb’s support. The name Taj Mahal is unknown in Mughal chronicles, but it is used by contemporary Europeans in India, suggesting that this was the tomb’s popular name. in contemporary texts, it is generally called simply the Illuminated Tomb (Rauza-i-Munavvara). Mumtazz Mahal died shortly after delivering her fourteenth child in 1631. The Mughal court was then residing in Burhanpur. Her remains were temporarily buried by the griefstricken emperor in a spacious garden known as Zainabad on the bank of the river Tapti. Six months later her body was transported to Agra, where it was interred in land chosen for the mausoleum. This land, situated south of the Mughal city on the bank of the Jamuna, had belonged to the Kachhwaha Rajas since the time of Raja Man Singh and was purchased from the current raja. Jai Singh. Although contemporary chronicles indicate Jai Singh’s willing cooperation in this exchange, extant farmans (imperial commands) indicate that the final price was not settled until almost two years after the mausoleum‘s commencement. Jai Singh’s further cooperation was insured by imperial orders issued between 1632 and 1637 demanding that he provide stone masons and carts to transport marble from the mines at Makrana, within his “ancestral domain’’, to Agra where both the Taj Mahal and ShajJahan’s additions to the Agra fort were concurrently. Work on the mausoleum was commenced early in 1632. Inscriptional evidence indicates much of the tomb was completed by 1636. By 1643, when Shah Jahan most lavishly celebrated the ‘Urs ceremony for Mumtaz Mahal’, the entire complex was virtually complete.

There is love of home and family and friends, making us peculiarly anxious to preserve our own country from invasion. There is the mild instinctive liking for compatriots as against foreigners. There is pride, which is bound up with the success of the community to which we feel that we belong. There is belief, suggested by pride but reinforced by history, that one’s own nation represents a great tradition and stands for ideals that are important to the human race. But beside all these, is another element, at ones nobler and more open to attack, an element of worship, of willing sacrifice, of joyful merging of the individual’s life. This religious element in patriotism is essential to the strength of the state, since it enlists the best that is in most men on the side of national sacrifice.

Question 36Single Answer
Passage :
Of the many monarchs that ruled in ancient India, it is Ashoka that we remember most and this for least two reasons-he is the first person on whom a reliable historical records exist to this day. Secondly, he was emperor and hero, conquering and noble, powerful and pious. No matter what he did in his earlier years, in the end, he proved to be uncommonly virtuous and wise, remarkably gentle and compassionate. His very name has become a matter of pride for the people of India. Yes, it has been stated in Buddhist lores that Ashoka was once a blood-thirsty prince who rose to his throne by the slaughter of his ninety-eight brothers. This may be a slight exaggeration, but it is now well established that this emperor of the third century BC, who extended the boundries of his Magadha kingdom far and wide, engaged in a bloody battle to subjugate Kalinga on the eastern coast of India.
But when it was all over, Ashoka saw the cruelty of war, the inhumanity of humanity of conquest. He was deeply touched by the sufferings he had inflicted. This was no crafty strategy to win over the people he had subdued. Ashoka’s feelings were as genuine as they were profound. He adopted the Buddhist religion which insisted on compassion and non-injury, became a serious student of the faith. Years later he even relinquished pomp and power, and became an ascetic. Never in human history has a victorious potentate given up pride to become a meek monk, as did Ashoka.
And while he was still in authority, he set up channels for the systematic propagation of the civilized principles to which he had been converted. He sent out missionaries to distance lands, to Syria and Egypt, to Macedonia and Cyrene, as well as to Sri Lanka and beyond. He assumed tremendous responsibilities towards his people. He worked for their material and moral welfare, and built many roads and hospitals. Today we see billboards and public announcements to sell commercial products. Ashoka adopted a very similar mode over two thousand years ago. For within his own realm, he carved his massages in rocks and pillars, in public places and in caves, here and there and everywhere, so that people would see them and reflect over them. The idea worked, and many joined the Buddhist faith. Even more importantly, those inscriptions have left for posterity indelible records of Ashoka’s thoughts and deeds.
Which one of the reasons does the author give for remembering Ashoka?
A
He was an emperor and hero, powerful and pious
B
He slaughtered ninety-eight of his brothers
C
He set up channels for the systematic propogation of civilized principles
D

Question 38Single Answer
Passage :
Of the many monarchs that ruled in ancient India, it is Ashoka that we remember most and this for least two reasons-he is the first person on whom a reliable historical records exist to this day. Secondly, he was emperor and hero, conquering and noble, powerful and pious. No matter what he did in his earlier years, in the end, he proved to be uncommonly virtuous and wise, remarkably gentle and compassionate. His very name has become a matter of pride for the people of India. Yes, it has been stated in Buddhist lores that Ashoka was once a blood-thirsty prince who rose to his throne by the slaughter of his ninety-eight brothers. This may be a slight exaggeration, but it is now well established that this emperor of the third century BC, who extended the boundries of his Magadha kingdom far and wide, engaged in a bloody battle to subjugate Kalinga on the eastern coast of India.
But when it was all over, Ashoka saw the cruelty of war, the inhumanity of humanity of conquest. He was deeply touched by the sufferings he had inflicted. This was no crafty strategy to win over the people he had subdued. Ashoka’s feelings were as genuine as they were profound. He adopted the Buddhist religion which insisted on compassion and non-injury, became a serious student of the faith. Years later he even relinquished pomp and power, and became an ascetic. Never in human history has a victorious potentate given up pride to become a meek monk, as did Ashoka.
And while he was still in authority, he set up channels for the systematic propagation of the civilized principles to which he had been converted. He sent out missionaries to distance lands, to Syria and Egypt, to Macedonia and Cyrene, as well as to Sri Lanka and beyond. He assumed tremendous responsibilities towards his people. He worked for their material and moral welfare, and built many roads and hospitals. Today we see billboards and public announcements to sell commercial products. Ashoka adopted a very similar mode over two thousand years ago. For within his own realm, he carved his massages in rocks and pillars, in public places and in caves, here and there and everywhere, so that people would see them and reflect over them. The idea worked, and many joined the Buddhist faith. Even more importantly, those inscriptions have left for posterity indelible records of Ashoka’s thoughts and deeds.

A

B
he wanted to become a serious student of faith
C
