JNV Selection Mock Test - 4

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following question.

A king gets a boulder placed on a road. He then hides himself and watches to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers come by and simply walk around it. Many loudly blame the king for not keeping the roads clear, but no one does anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then, a peasant comes along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant lays down his burden and tries to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeds. As the peasant picks his load of vegetables, he notices a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been. The purse contains many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold is for the person who removes the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learns that every hindrance presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following question.

Once upon a time, there lived a farmer and his wife. They had a little son. The farmer had a pet mongoose. The little boy and the mongoose were good playmates. One day the farmer was busy at his fields. The farmer's wife had gone to the market. The little boy was fast asleep in a cradle. The mongoose was lying near the cradle. A cobra got into the house and reached near the little boy. The mongoose sniffed the snake and jumped up. The cobra began to attack. There was a fierce fight between the cobra and the mongoose. The mongoose finally bit and killed the cobra. The mongoose saw the farmer's wife returning from market. He ran happily towards her to greet her. She saw blood around the mouth and paws of the mongoose. The farmer's wife mistook that the mongoose had attacked her son. The farmer's wife took a long stick and struck heavy blows on the mongoose and then ran into the house. She was shocked to see a dead cobra lying on the floor near her son. Then she realised her mistake. Her sorrow knew no bounds. The moral of the story is that one should never react before knowing the facts.

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following question.

Two men were treading along one summer day. Soon it was too hot to go any further and seeing a large plane tree nearby, they threw themselves on the ground to rest in its shade. Gazing up into the branches, one man said to the other, “What a useless tree this is! It does not have fruit or nuts that we can eat and we cannot even use its wood for anything.” “Don’t be so ungrateful”, rustled the tree in reply, “I am being extremely useful to you at this very moment, shielding you from the hot sun and you call me a good-for-nothing!"
