 Reading Comprehension
Direction – (1- 5): Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone, no superhuman brain is required. A few simple rules
will keep you free, not from all errors, but from silly errors. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make
the observation yourself. Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men,
by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted. Thinking that you know when
in fact you do not is a bad mistake, to which we are all prone. I believe myself that hedgehogs eat black beetles. because
I have been told that they do: but if I were writing a book on the habits of hedgehogs, I should not commit myself until
I had seen one enjoying this diet. Aristotle, however, was less cautious. Ancient and medieval writers knew all about
unicorns and salamanders; not one of them thought it necessary to avoid dogmatic statements about them because
he had never seen one of them.

Direction (6 –10): Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
In short, to write a good letter you must approach the job in the lightest and most casual way. You must be personal,
not abstract. You must not say, "This is too small a thinking to put down'. You must say, "This is just the sort of small
thing we talk about at home. If I tell them this they will see me, as it were they'll hear my voice, they'll know what I'm
talking about'. That is the purpose of a letter. Carlyle had the trick to perfection. He is writing from Scotsbrig to his
brother Alec in Canada and he begins talking about his mother. Good old Mother, he says, 'she is even now sitting at
my back, trying at another table to write you a small word with her own hand; the first time she has tried such a thing
for a year past. It is Saturday night, after dark; we are in the east room in a hard, dry evening with a bright fire to our
two selves: Jenny and her Barns are 'scouring up things in the other end of the house; and below stairs the winter
operations of the farm go on, in a subdued tone; you can conceive the scene! How simple it is and yet how perfect.
Can not you see Alec reading it in his far-off home and his eyes moistening at the picture of his old mother sitting and
writing her last message to him on earth?
