Directions for questions 6-15: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow Passage-1 When I am told by people that sports are just for fun and exercise, I really wonder whether they believe what they are saying. These very people who ‘enjoy sports just for the sake of it.’ have also displayed belligerent emotions during a match played by their favorite sportsmen. A sports ground has been reduced to nothing but a battlefield. There are several incidents where an event of competitive spirit has turned into a political issue. I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nation, and that if only the common people of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefields even if one didn’t know from concrete examples (the 1963 Olympic games for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred one could deduce it from general principles. Very often the fiercest instinct of individuals, raise its ugly head and thus ruin the show.

Nearly, all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise, but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe – at any rate for short periods – that running, jumping and kicking a ball are test of national virtue.

Even a leisurely game like cricket, demanding grace rather than strength, can cause much ill- will, as we saw in the controversy over bodyline bowling and over the rough tactics of the

Australian team that visited England in 1921. Football, a game in which everyone gets hurt and every nation has its own style of play which seems unfair to foreigners, is far worse. Worst of all is boxing. One of the most horrible sight in the world is a fight between white and colored boxers

before a mixed audience. But a boxing audience is always disgusting and the behaviour of the women, in particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow them to attend its contests.

At any rate, two or three years ago, when Home Guards and regular troops were holding boxing tournament, I was placed on guard at the door of the ball, with order to keep the women out.

In England, the obsession with sport is bad enough, but even fiercer passions are aroused in young countries where games playing and nationalism are both recent developments. In countries like India or Burma, it is necessary at football matches to have strong cordons of police to keep the crowd from invading the field. In Burma, I have seen the supporters of one side break through the police and disable the goalkeeper of the opposing side at a critical moment. The first big football match that was played in Spain about 15 years ago led to an uncontrollable riot.

6. The author of the passage believes that a. Sport creates goodwill between the nations. b. Sportsmen will not be inclined to confront each other on the battlefield. c. International sporting contests lead to riotous outbursts of hatred. d. The 1936 Olympic games were the only instance of sporting contests leading to hatred.

7. Which of the following is correct according to the passage? a. Sports are played for fun and exercise. b. The feeling of being disgraced arouses the worst fighting animal instincts. c. Sports have the quality of making better international relations. d. The behaviour of the players is significant.

8. Which of the following has the author suggested? a. The game of cricket causes much ill-will. b. Women spectators are the worst. c. Because of their behaviour, women are kept out of a boxing audience. d. A contest between white and colored sportsmen is the most horrible sight.

9. Which of the following sentence is true? a. In India, police protection is ensured to players. b. Sports can spread goodwill and reduce wars all over the world. c. Young countries did not have sporting events for a very long time. d. Strong feelings of rivalry generate a healthy spirit of competition.

10. The author is least likely to be a. English b. Spanish c. American d. Indian.

Passage-2 A symposium conducted by the Conservation Society of Delhi (CSD) on "Unprotected Monuments" exposed the chinks in the 1958 Act, as it is outdated, outmoded and arbitrarily selective as it protects only 166 monuments, the list of which too is not available. In Mehrauli alone, there are about 189 monuments of which only 16 are protected. The ones that are in a

dilapidated condition, constitute about 95 percent. The Havelis of Mirza Babar and Mirza Salim constructed during the regime of Akbar Shah II (1806-37) are in shambles. The Jamali Kamali Bagh of the 16th century encircling with it the baolis (tanks) mosque built by Balban along with his tomb, too are in a pitiable shape. The domes covering the mosque have disappeared. Rang Mahal and Rath Khana the tehsil of Bahadur Shah Zafar too have plaster peeling and rising dampness. The tehsil also has the Baghichi of Zafar Mahal that is now in the possession of a private developer who razed these monuments to the ground making way for residential plots. Rang Mahal has been gorged by the shopkeepers. Zafar Mahal, the palace of the last Mughal emperor, has been encroached upon it in the same manner as the fort of Tipu Sultan in Srirangapatnam. No traces of Shahi Baghichi (royal garden), Pilkhana (elephant stable) and Khwaspura (maid's quarters) belonging to Bahadur Shah II are to be found as they have turned into modern shops. In the vicinity of the Qutab Minar, the Hauz-e-Shamsi that has a very easy system of running fresh water, today stinks and the villagers have been moving away its bricks. Aulia Masjid, in comparison, is in better shape for the residents have taken care of it. Besides the ambience of Mehrauli area has been ended by the umpteen unpremeditated structures like the GPO, the bus terminus and the Competent Motors Workshop. The reality is that even the ASI people do not know which are monuments and where they stand that are to be protected by them. The monuments during the British Raj had been classified into three categories; firstly the ones possessed and protected by the government, secondly the ones privately owned but maintained on the basis of an 'agreement with the government and the ones that were unknown and therefore, uncared for. Delhi has a large number of monuments uncared for like, Raza Begum's mazar in Turkman Gate, Begum Samru's and Namak Haram Havelis in Chandni Chowk, Mirza Ghalib's house in Ballimaran, Abdur Rahim Khankhana's mazar and Maharaja Uggar Sen's baoli in Connaught Circus. In Khirki village there are as many as 100 unknown monuments. But, of late, some voluntary organizations have taken up initiative to guard most prized monuments. The INTACH-Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage has been spearheading the movement. A former convener of the INTACH, is of the view that the monumental glory of Delhi can only be saved if each Delhi-ites visits a monument a few times the year round. That will save danger of demolition as well as encroaching. Every monument has a value and meaning of its own that can only be realized if one goes there. "Delhi has been built over these monuments and not around these monuments resulting in the perishing of the unprotected monuments rapidly," says the former convener. The President of the Delhi Conservation Society and an associate professor in the Institute of Planning and Architecture is aghast at the state of affairs regarding the neglect of these monuments. She calls for cooperation of the people as well. She is also at a failure to understand what. "Protection" is being granted to the so-called protected monuments. Naraini Gupta, a historian and writer of many books, too laments that the Delhi-ites are not taking keen interest in

the preservation of these monuments. She was sore about some people who arranged a fashion show at Purana Quila free of cost.

11. The passage in general talks about A Unprotected Monuments b. ASI’s negligence towards monuments C INTACH’s role towards monuments d. Narani Gupta’s contribution
