SECTION-A
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE questions including question
no. I as compulsory. Symbols indicate their usual meaning.

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions given below: (45)
Man are not made in the same mould, like a lot of bricks. It would have ill-suited the
wants of the world if it had been so. Conseque~tly, even in the same country, men
differ in disposition, and inclination and manners and opinion, more probably than they
do in face on form. And between the people of different countries the contrast is even
more striking. We have then, also different sentiments, different sympathies, different
hopes, different ways all together. It will always be so. So long as there are different
minds, there will be different views on all matters that admit of opinion. So long as
there are different degrees or latitude and longitude, as well as differing circumstances
there will be different interests, different attachments and different habits. It behoves
us, therefore, to cultivate a generous spirit of forbearance towards those, of whatever
race, who may think differently and act differently, from ourselves. Even though we
may be convinced that they are wrong, if we know them to be' sincere, we should still
bear with them and give them credit for their sincerity.
This is the virtue of toleration .on bearing with others when we may differ from them,
or may not like their ways. Toleration should be shown in all differences of opinion on
even the highest matters of life and death; and it is these of more value than anywhere
else. When we cannot agree with one about a point of science, or philosophy, or faith,
we can at least agree to differ from him, and there is an end. We must always
remember that we are all likely to make mistakes and possess weakness, and that we
ourselves need the same forbearance and sympathy. We are, besides, all of the same
human brotherhood, and should, "like brothers, agree".
Questions:
(a) What promotes differences among men?
(b) Amid all differences how does society remain coherent?
(c) What attitude do we need to form to make us sociable?

,
(d) What is the central concern of this piece of writing?
(e) "We can at least agree to differ from him" - What is the significance of this
statement?
(f) Give the meanings of the followings words as use in the passage: Disposition,
inclination, longitude, cultivate, forbearance.
