English - III Instruction for Q. Nos. 1 to 10 : Read the paragraph carefully and answer the questions below it. That genetic engineering had the potential to turn evolution upside down and inside out was known to be theoretically possible. No one was prepared for it when it actually happened. When last week a British scientist reproduced a sheep from its mother through genetic cloning, the news was received all around the world with near-disbelief. In India too scientists reacted broadly in the manner of their western counterparts. In the Indian Institute of science at Banglore where pioneering work on genetic engineering is under way, a senior scientist and chairman of the microbiology department Dr. K.P. Gopinathan described the cloning of “Dolly”, the British lamb as a fantastic achievement. But he cautioned that ethical questions would have to be convincingly answered before attempts are made to similarly clone human beings. Dr. Gopinathan himself has achieved considerable success in genetic engineering. His team is credited with having cloned the luminescence gene of the firefly onto a silkworm causing it to glow in the dark. His department is also at present working on a method to cultivate in a silkworm the gene that is responsible for the growth of an individual. Q.1 Genetic cloning
a. Has been accomplished by scientists
b. Is yet to be accomplished
c. Will soon be possible
d. Will always remain an impossible feat
Q.2 The cloning of “Dolly”, the British lamb, has raised questions that are primarily
a. Curious
b. Ethical
c. Monetary
d. None of the above
Q.3 Dr. K. P. Gopinathan, Chairperson of the microbiology department
a. Has condemned the cloning of Dolly
b. Remained indifferent of the cloning of Dolly
c. Hailed the cloning of Dolly
d. Was terrified at the feat of cloning Dolly
Q.4 Dr. K. P. Gopinathan himself
a. Has achieved considerable success in genetic engineering
b. Has failed in his research in genetic engineering
c. Is contemplating research in genetic engineering
d. None of the above
We talk about democracy but when it comes to any particular thing, we prefer a man belonging to our caste or community or religion. So long as we have this kind of temptation it means that our democracy is a phoney kind of democracy. We must be in a position to respect a man as a man and to extend opportunities for development to those who deserve them and not to those people who happen to belong to our community or race.

According to Napoleon, “It is a approved maxim in war never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this reason alone that he desires it.” Non-violent resistance acts fully in accordance with Napoleon‟s principle. Your violent opponent wants you to fight in the way to which he is accustomed. If you utterly decline, and adopt a method wholly new to him, you have thus gained an immediate tactical advantage. The surprise of non-violent resistance is effective because the opponent is so bound by his violent habits that he is ill prepared to utilize the new tactics himself. The surprise of non-violent resistance, unlike that of war, is not due to deceit or stratagem but simply due to its novelty. Q.9 The non-violent resister gains an immediate tactical advantage over his enemy because
a. He does not use the conventional method of war
b. He does not fight at all
c. He does not fight in a way his enemy is accustomed to
d. He does not face the enemy directly
Q.10 The non-violent resistance is effective because a. The enemy is not able to use it himself b. It is deceitful c. It is a good strategy d. It hardly encourages the enemy to fight back
