B.        It will only aggravate the problem and lead to the fragmentation of the country. C.        Our government and our people have to give these docile people the chance of a fair deal to live with honour and self–respect. D.        The power elite, the government, the political parties and the people have to delve deeper into the very reasons why reservation has seemingly become necessary and what needs to be done to eliminate this pernicious practice. E.        If the Scheduled Castes in India are to rise in revolt because they feel that only violence permits their voice to be heard, the nation will have to pay a very heavy price for this.   CAEDB CEBAD DEBAC ECABD   Ans. D   Q.2   Directions: In the following question, five statements are provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.   A.        So, at least one of the basic assumptions must be wrong.

These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged.

D.        Thus, scholars claimed that the spirit of caste patriotism or casteism is created; and diminishing of casteism would be very difficult and it would create an unhealthy atmosphere for the full growth of national consciousness.

B.        The ideological orientation, however, is not only confined to the formulation of the goals of social change, but also extends to the specific form the sociological categories should have to analyzechange. C.        This particularism of some Indian sociologists introduces yet another ideological element in the analysis of change.

Directions: Rearrange the following five sentences in the proper sequence to form a coherent paragraph, and then answer the question given below: (1)         There is in nature a universal tendency toward refinement and compactness of form in space, or        contrariwise, toward increment and diffusion; and this manifests itself in time as acceleration or retardation. (2)         More and more science is coming to recognize, what theosophy affirms, that the spiral vortex, which so beautifully illustrates this law, both in its time and its space aspects is the universal archetype, the pattern of all that is, has been, or will be, since it is the form assumed by the ultimate physical atom. (3)          It is governed, in either case, by an exact mathematical law, like the law of falling bodies. (4)         And the ultimate physical atom is the physical cosmos in miniature. (5)         It shows itself in the widening circles which appear when one drops a stone into still water, in the convolutions of shells, in the branching of trees and the veining of leaves; the diminution in the size of the pipes of an organ illustrates it, and the spacing of the frets of a guitar.   Q.1 Which of the following should be the THIRD sentence after the rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 5   Q.2 Which of the following should be the FIFTH sentence after the rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 4   Q.3 Which of the following should be the FOURTH sentence after the rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 2   Q.4 Which of the following should be the SECOND sentence after the rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 3   Q.5 Which of the following should be the FIRST sentence after the rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 1

(3)         These feelings can only be the consequence of some troublesome sensation, which must have previously affected him, or which by disturbing the harmony of his machine, has interrupted the course of his happiness; which has shown him he is naked. (4)         He would neither know fear, experience distrust, nor have inquietude for the future. (5)         If nature had permitted him easily to satisfy all his regenerating wants, if she had given him none but agreeable sensations, his days would have uninterruptedly rolled on in perpetual uniformity; he would never have discovered his own nakedness.   Q.1 Which of the following should be the third sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 2   Q.2 Which of the following should be the fifth sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 3   Q.3 Which of the following should be the fourth sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Ans. 4   Q.4 Which of the following should be the second sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Ans. 5   Q.5 Which of the following should be the first sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 1

(5).        In philology, North America presents the richest field in the world, for here is found the greatest number of languages distributed among the greatest number of stocks.   Q.1 Which of the following should be the THIRD sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 1   Q.2 Which of the following should be the FIFTH sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 4   Q.3 Which of the following should be the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans.2   Q.4 Which of the following should be the SECOND sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans.3   Q.5 Which of the following should be the FIRST sentence after rearrangement?   (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)   Ans. 5
