    Directions For Questions

    Read the passage and answer the following questions.

    In a small village nestled between lush green fields and meandering rivers, lived a wise old man known for his knowledge. He believed in the power of education and often told the villagers, "Learning is the lamp that illuminates the path of life." Inspired by his words, a young boy named Arjun made it his mission to study hard and excel in his exams. Arjun was determined to bring pride to his village and to himself.

    As the annual exams approached, Arjun encountered a challenging situation. His friends planned to cheat, believing it was the only way to secure good marks. They invited Arjun to join them, but remembering the old man's teachings, he refused, understanding the true value of honesty. Arjun knew that success achieved through dishonest means would never bring real happiness or satisfaction. He decided to trust his hard work and dedication instead.

    The results day arrived, and to everyone's surprise, Arjun topped the exams with flying colours. His success was celebrated by the entire village, but the widest smile was on the wise old man's face. He praised Arjun for his integrity and perseverance, highlighting these virtues to the younger children as the real keys to success. Arjun's story became a lesson for all, proving that honesty and hard work are the cornerstones of true achievement. His journey inspired many, teaching them that moral values are vital in navigating the exams of life.

  • Question 3
    5 / -1

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage and answer the following questions.

    The Indian caste system is a traditional hierarchical social structure that divides people into different categories by birth. This system is an ancient concept that has influenced various aspects of Indian society for centuries. Despite the efforts to ensure equality and promote social harmony, the shadows of caste distinctions linger in both rural and urban India. It's a thread woven into the fabric of daily life, affecting decisions from marriages to job opportunities. The government has introduced reservations in education and employment to level the playing field, but the road to eradicating caste prejudice is long and challenging.

    At its core, the caste system reflects a rigid framework that prescribes the social status and occupational roles of individuals. Over time, there has been a significant shift in attitudes towards the caste system, especially among the younger generation and in professional environments. Many argue that talent and skill should be the criteria for advancement rather than birth. While progress has been made in bridging the gap, the remnants of caste continue to raise questions about inclusivity and justice in contemporary Indian society. The dialogue for a casteless society continues, highlighting the need for education and awareness to dismantle these age-old barriers.
