III 3 A-07-03 ENGLISH Paper – III Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions (1 – 4) What opium is instilled into all disaster ! It shows formidable as we approach it, but there is at last no rough rasping friction, but the most slippery sliding surfaces. We fall soft on a thought ... People grieve and bemoan themselves, but it is not half so bad with them as they say. There are moods in which we court suffering, in the hope that here, at least, we shall find reality, sharp peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me, is to know how shallow it is. That, like all the rest, plays about the surface, and never introduces me into the reality, for contact with which, we would even pay the costly price of sons and lovers. Was it Boscovich who found out that bodies never come in contact ? Well, souls never touch their objects. An innavigable sea washes with silent waves between us and the things we aim at and converse with. Grief too will make us idealists. In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate, – no more. I cannot get it nearer to me . If tomorrow I should be informed of the bankruptcy of my principal debtors, the loss of my property would be a great inconvenience to me, perhaps, for many years ; but it would leave me as it found me, neither better nor worse. So is it with this calamity : it does not touch me : something which I fancied was a part of me, which could not be torn away without tearing me, nor enlarged without enriching me, falls off from me, and leaves no scar .... I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature. 1. In line 1, opium is used figuratively for is capacity to : (A) deaden the senses (B) corrupt the soul (C) weaken the will (D) produce euphoria
III 4 A-07-03 2. According to the author, at times “We Court Suffering” (lines 4-5) because we believe that (A) pain is more enjoyable than pleasure or truth (B) pain brings us into contact with reality (C) pain makes people more resilient (D) Re cessation of pain brings pleasure 3. The clause “The things we aim at and converse with” means roughly the same as the phrase. (A) “slippery sliding surfaces” (B) “innavigable sea” (C) “beautiful estate” (D) “real nature” 4. The phrase “no more” most nearly means (A) no longer in existence (B) nothing deeper (C) I can bear no additional pain (D) I understand my grief OR Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions (1-4) I sat all morning in the college sick bay Counting bells knelling classes to a close. At two o’clock our neighbours drove me home In the porch I met my father crying-- He had always taken funerals in his stride-- And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow. The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram When I came in, and I was embarrassed By old men standing up to shake my hand And tell me they were ‘sorry for my trouble” Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest, Away at school, as my mother held my hand In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs. At ten o’clock the ambulance arrived With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses. Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him For the first time in six weeks. Paler now, Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear. A four foot box, a foot for every year.
