SECTION – I: ENGLISH
Directions (Q. 1 to 10): Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
To teach is create a space in which obedience to truth is practiced. Space may sound a vague, poetic metaphor
until we realize that it describes experiences of everyday life. We know what it means to be in a green and open
field; we know what it means to be on a crowded rush hour bus. These experiences of physical space have
parallels in our relations with others. In our jobs we know what is to be pressed and crowded, our working
space diminished by the urgency of deadline and competitiveness of colleagues. But then there are times when
deadlines disappear and colleagues co-operate, when everyone has a space to move, invent and produce, with
energy and enthusiasm. With family and friends, we know how it feels by the expectations of those nearest to
us. But then there are times when we feel accepted for who we are (or forgiven for who we are not), times when
a spouse or a child or a friend gives us the space both to be and to become.
Similar experiences of crowding and space are found in education. To sit in a class where the teacher stuffs our
minds with information, organizes it with finality, insists on having the answers while being utterly uninterested
in our views, and focus us into a grim competition for grades ─ to sit in such a class is to experience a lack of
space for learning. But to study with a teacher who not only speaks but also listens, who not only answers but
asks questions and welcomes our insights, who provides information and theories that do not close doors but
open new ones, who encourages students to help each other learn – to study with such a teacher is to know the
power of a learning space.
A learning space has three essential dimensions: openness, boundaries and an air of hospitality. To create open
learning space is to remove the impediments to learning that we find around and within us; we often create them
ourselves to evade the challenge of truth and transformation. One source of such impediments is our fear of
appearing ignorant to others or to ourselves. The openness of a space is created by the firmness of its
boundaries. A learning space cannot extend indefinitely, if it did, it would not be a structure for learning but an
invitation for confusion and chaos. When space boundaries are violated, the quality of space suffers. The
teacher who wants to create an open learning space must define and defend its boundaries with care. Because
the pursuit of truth can be painful and discomforting, the learning space must be hospitable. Hospitable means
receiving each other, our struggles, our new-born ideas with openness and care. It means creating an ethos in
which the community of truth can form and the pain of its transformation be borne. A learning space needs to
be hospitable not to make learning painless, but to make painful things possible thins without which no learning
can occur – things like exposing ignorance testing tentative hypotheses, challenging false or partial information,
and mutual criticism of thought.
The task of creating learning space with qualities of openness, boundaries and hospitality can be approached at
several levels. The most basic level is the physical arrangement of the classroom. Consider the traditional
classroom setting with row upon row of chairs facing the lecture where learning space is confined to the narrow
alley of attention between student and teacher. In this space, there is no community of truth, hospitality or room
for students to relate to the thoughts of each other. Contrast it with the chairs placed in a circular arrangement
creating an open space within which learners can interconnect. At another level, the teacher can create
conceptual space – space with words in two ways. One is through assigned reading; the other is through
lecturing. Assigned reading, not in the form of speed reading several hundred pages but contemplative reading,
which opens, not fills our learning space. A teacher can also create a learning space by means of lectures. By
providing critical information and a framework of interpretation, a lecturer can lay down boundaries within
which learning occurs.

We also create learning space through the kind of speech we utter and the silence from which true speech
emanates. Speech is a precious gift and a vital tool, but too often our speaking is an evasion of truth, a way of
buttressing our self-serving reconstructions of reality. Silence must, therefore, be an integral part of learning
space. In silence, more than in arguments, our mind-made world falls away and we are open to the truth that
seeks us. Words often divide us, but silence can unite. Finally teachers must also create emotional space in the
classroom, space that allows feelings to arise and be dealt with because submerged feelings can undermine
learning. In an emotionally honest learning space, one created by a teacher who does not fear dealing with
feelings, the community of truth can flourish between us and we can flourish in it.

A person who agrees to serve as mediator between two warring factions at the request of both abandons
his impartiality. To take sides at a later point would be to suggest that the earlier presumptive

The passage above emphasizes which of the following points about mediators?

biases publicly known
(b) They should not agree to serve unless they are equally acceptable to all parties to a dispute.

For acrylic, a clear rigid plastic, to be cast, fairly complex molecules must be induced to link up, in a
process called polymerization. Polymerization is exothermic; i.e., its net effect is that each time
molecules link, a small quantity of heat is generated. In addition, the rate of linking speeds up as
temperature increases.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?
(a) If air temperatures are kept steady when acrylic is cast, the rate at which the molecules link remains
constant.
(b) Unless the heat that results from linking of molecules is drawn off promptly, there will be a heat
built up at an accelerating rate as acrylic is cast.
(c) Once the process of polymerization has been induced, it cannot be slowed before all possible links
among molecules have been formed.
(d) In casting of thin sheets of acrylic, which lose heat quickly to the surrounding air, polymerization
proceeds much faster than it does in the casting of thick pieces.

The extent to which a society is really free can be gauged by its attitude towards artistic expression.
Freedom of expression can easily be violated in even the most outwardly democratic of societies. When
a government arts council withholds funding from a dance performance that is members deem
“obscene”, the voices of a few bureaucrats have in fact censored the work of the choreographer, thereby
committing the real obscenity of repression.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?
(a) Failing to provide financial support for a performance is not the same as actively preventing or
inhibiting it.
(b) The term obscenity has several different definitions that should not be used interchangeably for
rhetorical effect.
(c) Members of government arts councils are screened to ensure that their beliefs reflect those of the
majority.
(d) The council’s decision could be reversed if the performance were altered to conform to public
standards of appropriateness.
