Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

 Our awareness of time has reached such a pitch of intensity that we suffer acutely whenever our travels take us into some corner of the world where people are not interested in minutes or seconds. The un-punctuality of the Orient, for example, is appalling to those who come freshly from a land of fixed meal-time and regular train service. For a modern American or Englishman waiting is a psychological torture. An Indian accepts the blank hours with resignation even with satisfaction. He has not lost the fine part of doing nothing. Our notion of time as a collection of minutes, each of which must be filled with some business or amusement, is wholly alien to the Oriental, just as it was alien to the Greek. For the man who lives in pre-industrial world, time moves at a slow and easy pace; he does not care about each minute, for the good reason that he has not been made conscious of the existence of minutes.

Qs.8/11: A person who belongs to preindustrial world


Aknows the utility of time

Cdoes not care about each minute

Direction(195-209): Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

 We are living in an age where technology has suddenly annihilated distance. Physically we are all now neighbors but psychologically we are still strangers to each other. We have never been so conscious of variety as we are now. What shall be the outcome now when we have come to such close quarters with our neighbors? How are we going to react? Are we going to let this consciousness of variety make us fear and hate each other? In that event, we shall be dooming others to wipe each other out. Or are we going to learn to live like a single family? This is the only alternative to mutual destruction; but to achieve this high degree of amity, we have to value the variety of human heritage. We are not only to appreciate our neighbor's distinctive contributions. We have to love these as precious parts of mankind's common treasure. And we have to love our neighbors
themselves as precious members of human family which is not exposed to the common danger of being wiped out by atomic warfare. This is why India's conspicuous achievement of variety-in-unity is of worldwide importance.
