Directi0ns(Q. 69-73) Read thefollowing extract carefully and ans-
wer the questions that follow by
choosing correct answer 1I would like to address a few
words in particular to our young men
and women. If they are to be effectivein the service of the nation, it is
essential that they must fit themselves
in every way for this task. Thebuilding up of a vast and pulsating
democratic nation is no mean under-
taking, and a mere desire to be in the
service of the nation is not enough 2 it
7/29/2019 literature sindhi
25/34
must be accompanied by the ability to
do so effectively.There are several distinct dimen-
sions in which our youth must equip
themselves. The first is the physical.Building a great democracy and
defending it from predatory aggres-
sors requires a young generation that
is physically strong, with muscles ofiron and nerves of steel, and for this
it must equipitself by undertaking
physical training and developingphysical fitness to the maximum
extent possible. Despite technological
advances and mechanisation, defenceis still to a large extent, a matter of
dogged physical endurance and
courage as our Officers and Iawanshave so magnificently proved on the
battle-field and they emerged victo-rious against superior and more
sophisticated war equipment. In thiscontext the National Cadet Corps, the
Physical Fitness Scheme, and other
similar organisations play valuablerole in building up the strength of
our youth, and these opportunities
must be fully availed of. Along withphysical fitness the qualities of
discipline and teamsmanship are
essential, particularly for those plan-to join the proud ranks of our
defence forces, because what is
required is not only individual
achievement but corporate progress.
19. The mere desire to be in the
service of the nation is useless,
unless-
(A) Because building up a vast
democratic nation is not an easytask
(B) All forces of the youth aremobilized in the correct direction
(C) Youth are highly educated
(D) Mere desire without energy
is inactive involvement anduseless
7/29/2019 literature sindhi
26/34
Answer.B
20. Physical fitness is very muchrequired because-
(A) Illness would hamper pros-
perity .
(B) More hospitals would be
required(C) It is needed to defend the
nation from any threat or aggres-sion
(D) Finance of the nation would
be drained for medical purposes
Answer.C
21. Technological advances andmechanisation are not in them
selves sufficient because-
(A) Defence of the nation should
be strong(B) Defence is more important
