Q 23UNSEEN PARA - QUE [MCQ-3M]3 Marks
This is a great lesson for all of us to learn, that in all matters the two extremes are alike. The extreme positive and the extreme negative are always similar. When the vibrations of light are too slow we do not see them, nor do we see them when they are too rapid. So with sound, when very low in pitch we do not hear it, when very high we do not hear it either. Of like nature is the difference between resistance and non-resistance. One man does not resist because he is weak, lazy and cannot; the other man knows that he can strike an irresistible blow if he likes, yet he not only does not strike but blesses his enemies. The weak who shows non resistance is oppressed while the stronger one commits a sin if he offers resistance.
Q.1. We are unable to hear a sound if
(a) it is too low
(b) it is too high
(c) it is too noisy
(d) both a and b
Q.2. 'The two extremes are alike' means-
(a) extreme positive is better than extreme negative.
(b) excess of anything is not good.
(c) we get almost the same result in both the situations.
(d) all of the above.
Q.3. Which word in the passage is opposite of 'slow'?
(a) resist
(b) rapid
(c) lazy
(d) strike

Q 29UNSEEN PARA [7M]7 Marks
When we enter New York harbor, the first thing we see is the Statue of Liberty. What impresses us the most is its size and magnificence . Have you ever wondered how it came to be there? The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to mark the one hundred year anniversary of American Independence. In 1869, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi began to plan his concept for the monument. Bartholdi envisioned Liberty as a strong and proud figure, one who personified not only the majestic Greek goddesses of the past, but also the working men and women of the present. Finally in 1884, the work was finished and Liberty was packed into 214 crates and sent to New York city. But there was one problem. While the French had raised a lot of funds to build the statue, New York had not secured the funds to build its foundation. It was not until a New York newspaper implored people for donations that money became available. Finally, on 28th October 1886, Americans celebrated the unveiling of Statue of Liberty.
(a) Whom does the Statue of Liberty represent?
(b) What is meant by the underlined portion?
(c) How did America collect money to install the statue?
(d) Which word in the passage means ‘requested’?
