Section-2- English Comprehensive
Directions (Q31-35):- Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Mrs. Loisel now learned what it was like to be really poor. She made up her mind
to face it and played her part bravely. This terrible debt had to be paid and she
would pay it. The maid was dismissed; the flat was given up and they moved into a
garret. She did all the rough household work; washed up after meals and ruined her
finger nails scrubbing dirty dishes and pans. She did all the washing and hung it out
on the line to dry. Every morning, she carried the rubbish down to the street and
brought the water, pausing for breath at the top of each flight of stairs. Dressed like
a working woman, she went with her basket on her arm to the greengrocer, the
grocer and the butcher, bargaining, arguing and fighting for every penny.
Her husband spent his evenings, working at some shopkeepers’ account, and at night, he
would often copy papers at a few pennies a page.
Thus life went on for ten years.
At the end of that time, they had paid off every thing to the last penny, including the interest
on the loan.

6. Mrs. Loisel now looked like an old woman. She had become a typical poor man’s wife,
rough and coarse. Her hair was neglected, her dress was untidy, and her hands were red.
But now and then, when her husband was at the office, she would sit by the window and
her thoughts would go back to that far away evening, the evening of her beauty and her
success. What would have been the ends of it if she had not lost the necklace? Who could
say? How strange and varied are the chances of life. How small a thing can save or ruin
you.
One Sunday, she went for a walk in the Champa Elysees and she caught sight of a lady
with a child. She recognized Mrs. Forestier, who looked as young, as pretty and as
attractive as ever. Mrs. Loisel felt a wave of sadness pass over her. Should she speak to
her? Why not? Now that the debt was paid, why should she not tell her the whole story?
She went up to her
“Good morning, Jeanne.”
Her friend did not recognize her and said, “I’ m afraid I don’t know you; you must have
made a mistake.”
“No, I am Mathilde Loisel.”
Her friend uttered a cry.
‘Oh’ my poor dear Mathilde! How you have changed!”
“Yes, I have been through a very hard time since I saw you last.”
“What do you mean?”
“You remember the diamond necklace you lent me to wear?”
“Yes. Well?”
“Well, I lost it.”
“I don’t understand. You brought it back to me.”
“What I brought you back was another one, exactly like it and for the ten years, we have
been busy paying for it. You must understand that it was not an easy matter for people like
us, who hadn’t a penny? However, it’s all over now. I can’t tell you what a relief it is!”
Mrs. Forestier stopped dead.
“You mean that you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine?”
“Yes. And you never noticed it? They were certainly very much alike,”
She smiled with pride and satisfaction. But Mrs. Forestier seized both her hands in great
distress.
“Oh, my poor, dear Mathilde1 Why? Mine was only imitation. At the most it was worth
five hundred francs!”

7. Q31. Mrs. Loisel was not a well off lady but still, she took to pay back the huge amount
of necklace
a) In a half – hearted way b) In a reluctant manner
c) Quite unwillingly d) In a determined way
e) Under compulsion of law
Q32. Entire money was paid up by her without excuse but
a) It took ten years for Loisel to clear off the dues in installments
b) It took ten years for them to save that much amount to pay back
c) It took lesser period in paying back the money.
d) They had not paid back in full the amount of necklace even during a period of ten
years
e) They were running short of a little amount to pay back the amount in full at the
end of ten years.
Q33. Mrs. Loisel struggled very hard to pay back the amount and it.
a) Had made her weak and ill b) Had no effect on her health
c) Had made her demoralised and ill humoured d) Had bereft her of her
memory
e) Had affected her looks
Q34. When Mrs. Loisel met Mrs. Forestier she
a) Told her that she had lost the necklace but promised to return another exactly like
it
b) Admitted that she had replaced Mrs. Forestier’s diamond necklace with a
necklace of imitation diamonds.
c) Told her that the necklace she had returned was not the same that she had
borrowed
d) Accused Mrs. Forestier of being a cause of ten years sufferings
e) Begged her pardon to avoid talk about the necklace that has caused her so much
worry
Q35. Mrs. Forestier told Mrs. Loisel to the effect that.
a) The necklace that was returned was made of imitation diamonds
b) The necklace borrowed by Mrs. Loisel was not of real diamonds
c) The necklace returned valued just 500 francs
d) The necklace that she had returned valued less than 500 francs
e) The necklace she had lent was of real diamonds
Direction (Q36 - 40 ): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.

8. Imagine a ship built to sail amongst the ice at the North Pole. The ship has a hull two feet
thick. This hull is shaped so that when the ice closes in on the ship she is pushed up – like
a piece of soap in your hand and drifts in the top layer of the ice. A ship like this was built
for the great Norwegian explorer Fridjof Nansen.
One day, while he was walking by the sea, Nansen found a piece of Russian wood.
Obviously the wood had drifted south across the Arctic Circle from Siberia. Nansen
thought that if a piece of wood could make the journey so could he. If he had a ship which
rested on the ice he would he able to drift across the Arctic Sea. And so that ‘Fram’ (which
means forward) was built.
In June 1893, Nansen left Oslo with a crew of 13 men and 30 dogs for the sledges. Many
people thought his plans were mad and said that he was going to meet his death. By Sp.
The ‘Fram’ had reached Cape Chelyuskin, the most northerly point of Siberia. Here, the ice
became 30 ft thick and began to close in on the ‘Fram’. But just a Nansen had said the ship
rose up, came to rest on the ice, and began to drift. For a year she
drifted northwards, then slowly westwards. Nansen then decided to rush to the North Pole
with his companion Hjelmar Johansen. At the time, no explorer had ever reached the Pole.
They set off with 28 dogs, 3 sledges, 2 small boats, a tent, sleeping bags and food. By
April 1895 they were within 200 miles of the Pole.
This was nearer to the Pole than any other explorer had ever been. But conditions were
terrible. The temperature dropped to 40 degrees below freezing point. The dogs became
exhausted. Their cloths froze on their bodies. In the end they had to turn back. The two men
and their dogs travelled for four months through ice and snow. Frozen, exhausted and with
sinking spirits, they struggled on through mile after mile of snow.
Once Nansen was nearly killed by animals. On another occasion, they tied their small boats
to an iceberg and climbed up to make observations. The boats broke loose and began to
drift. Nansen knew that they would not be able to go on without the boats. Still wearing
this heavy cloths, he dived into the freezing water and swam after the boats. Then, after he
had got them back, Nansen boat was nearly destroyed by an animal.
At last, they reached Franz Josef Land, which is still inside the Arctic Circle. They decided
to spend the winter there because it would have been dangerous to travel in a Pole winter.
They built a hut of stone and covered it with animals’ skins and then, settled down for a
long cold wait. They spent the winter hunting, talking and writing. In this way, they
stopped themselves from going mad with loneliness.

9. In May, when spring came, they set out again on their march Southwards. A month later,
they walked into a party of British explorers. The British had been in the Arctic for two
years and were waiting for their ship to take them home. The ship arrived and took Nansen
and Johansen back to Norway.
But what had happened to the “Fram”? There was no word. Her movements were as much
a mystery as those of Nansen and Johansen had been. Astonishingly, a week after
Nansen’s return, the ‘Fram’ drifted back to Norway – exactly three years after she had let.
Nansen was given a hero’s welcome and so were the men of the ‘Fram’.
Q36. For going on journey across the Arctic, Nansen got an idea of a particular ship,
especially designed
for the purpose because
a) He must travel by a newly deigned ship to go on exploration mission.
b) He must have a ship that would sail around the frozen Arctic.
c) He must have a ship that would plough through the ice
d) He must have a ship that would slide the top layer of the ice
e) He must have a ship that would rest on the ice and drift.
Q37. How did Nansen plan to go on exploration mission across the Arctic
a) He planned to go to Russia across the Arctic Sea
b) He planned to sail towards the North – Pole
c) He planned to sail north – west toward the Pole
d) He planned to proceed Northward on the ice
e) He planned to go across the Arctic from north to south
Q38. What happened when Nansen and Johansen tried to reach the North Pole
proceeding westward?
a) They lost the way and were misled b) They reached the Pole but
could and stay there
c) They reached the Pole and passed the winter there
d) They approached closer to the Pole but were forced to keep away by weather
extremities
Q39. What happened to Nansen and Johansen while they were on return journey?
a) They met unknown explorers who played host to them
b) They met British explorers who offered them lift to Norway
c) They met the British explorers who took them home in their ship
d) They met the British explorers who took them home in their ship – the “Fram”

10. e) They got a ship that had just landed a party of explorers and reached home.
Q40. What happened to ‘Fram’ after it was abandoned by Nansen and Johansen?
a) The ship was destroyed by the snowstorm b) Returned to Norway after a
very long time
c) Returned to Norway shortly after Nansen d) Nothing was heard of it
e) The ship was remodeled by some other explorers and taken away by them.
Directions: Below is given a passage followed by several possible followed by several
possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage.
You have to examine each inference separately in the context of passage and

The serious accident in which a person was run over by a car yesterday has again
focussed attention on the most unsatisfactory state of street lighting. No one expects
side roads to be provided with the same standard of lighting, as a main road, but
unless the council is prepared to make good its promise as regards road lighting, it
will only be a question of time before there are further and perhaps fatal accidents.
It seems that council has promised to improve the state of lighting on side roads.
There will not be a single accident on roads if roads are satisfactorily illuminated.
The accident that occurred was fatal.
Several accidents have so far taken place because of unsatisfactory lighting.
The accident occurred at night.
Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question:
There are several reasons for a headache. Physical, emotional and mental factors,
anxiety and tension are a few. Sometimes, headache can be a signal of an underlying
disease. More than medicines, yoga therapy eminently suits any need. Yoga is a
comprehensive mode of culturing the body and the mind. Using an ‘Intergrated
Approach of Yoga’, the yoga Research Centres have been able to cure some tough
headaches. The integrated approach includes breathing, asanas, pranayama,
meditation and devotional sessions.
Yoga asanas, especially the ones imitating the natural postures of animals, have a
tremendous tranquilising effect, without having t depend on common drugs. Pranayama
inhibits random agitation in Pranic (energy) flows in Pranamayakosa, stabilising the

11. autonomic nervous system. Dhyana and Samadhi culture the mind to relax it. This approach
alters the reaction of an individual to headache. By interrupting the vicious cycle of pain –
agony – pain, it prevents headache from becoming a crippling problem.
Through asanas that calm you , the pranayama exercises that inhibit random energy flows
and the meditation that cultivates and relaxes your mind, yoga offers a holistic from of pain
relief. It stops you from becoming locked in the vicious circle of pain-anxiety- pain.
Chronic pain: Chronic pain essentially is imbalance in prana (energy). This imbalance
initially manifests only as functional abnormality like insomnia, lack of enthusiasm, fatigue,
increased irritability and lack of concentration. Over the years, the imbalance settles in an
organ. Chronic pain may sometimes be just a long standing muscle spasm, which later on
amy give rise to organic changes in the form of chronic inflammation.

For more than 3 decades, I achieved great success as a lawyer, till a stroke left my right side
totally paralysed. Despite the doctor’s encouragement, I was consumed by rage and self-
pity. I yearned to be active again. But what could a middle-age cripple like me do ? One
day, glancing at some paintings I owned, I thought suddenly, “what about painting” ? In
