Q1. Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow: Passage - I

1. Since its invention a little over 130 years ago. The interview has become a commonplace of journalism.

Today, almost everybody who is literate will have read an interview at some point in their lives, while

from the other point of view, several thousand celebrities have been interviewed over the years, some of

them repeatedly. So it is hardly surprising that opinions of the interview - of its functions, methods and

merits - vary considerably. Some might make very extravagant claims for it as being, in its highest form, a

source of truth, and, in its practice, an art. Others, Usually celebrates who see themselves as its victims,

might despise the interview as an unwarranted intrusion into their lives, or feel that it somehow

diminishes them, just as in some primitive cultures it is believed that if one takes a photographic portrait

of somebody then one is stealing that person's soul. 2. V.S Naipaul 'feels that some people are wounded by interviews and lose a part of themselves', Lewis

Carroll, the creator of Alice in wonderland, was said to have had ' a just horror of the interviewer' and he

never consented to be interviewed- it was his horror of being lionized which made him thus repel would

be acquaintances, interviewers, and persistent petitioners for his autograph and he would afterwards relate

the stories of his success in silencing all such people with much satisfaction and amusement. Rudyard

Kipling expressed an even more condemnatory attitude towards the interviewer. His wife, Caroline, writes

in her diary for 14 October 1892 that their day was 'wrecked by two reporters from Boston. She reports

her husband as saying to the reporters, "why do I refuse to be interviewed? Because it is immoral! It is a

crime, just as much of a crime as much merits punishment. It is cowardly and vile. No respectable man

would ask it, much less give it," yet Kipling had himself perpetrated such an 'assault' on Mark Twain only

a few years before. H.G Wells in an interview in 1894 referred to 'the interviewing ordeal', but was fairly

frequent interviewee and forty years later found himself interviewing Joseph Stalin. 3. Saul Bellow, who has consented to be interviewed on several occasions, nevertheless once described

interviews as being like thumbprints on his windpipe. Yet despite the drawbacks of the interview, it is

supremely serviceable medium of communication. "These days more than at any other time, our most

vivid impressions of our contemporaries are through interviews," Denis Brian has written. "Almost

everything of moment reaches us through one man asking questions of another. Because of this, the

interviewer holds a position of unprecedented power and influence."

I. On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer each of the questions given

below by choosing the correct option:

a) The positive opinion regarding interview is ……………….

i. An intrusion

ii. Source of truth

iii. Information in complex form

iv. Both first and third

i. Lessens the authority, dignity or reputation ( Para - 1)

Passage - II

1. As religious people believing in God, we are all aware of the influence of prayer in ourindividual lives.

It is true our temples, gurudwaras, churches and mosques reverberate withthe prayers of the devout on

festive occasions and even in the course of daily life. Whenindividuals face dire situations, often they are

led into prayer; their faith thus opens forthem a source of comfort and encouragement in their hour of

need. 2. But how does India as collective entity, exercise its faith in prayer? It may be recalled thatduring the

freedom struggle and subsequently after Independence, the Father of the Nationused to lead the people in

prayer on matters affecting its destiny. The men of different faithsused to take part in such meetings,

which gave them a sense of purpose and also a senseof solidarity as people sharing one destiny.

3. Since the Mahatma fell to the bullets of an assassin, no one else probably came forward toprovide

leadership to an exercise of prayer at the national level. No doubt, people of allfaiths had organized

prayers at their places of worship in the aftermath of national tragedieslike the Gujarat Earthquake of the

Orissa cyclone. The hijacking of an Indian plane withits passengers of Kandahar in the recent past had

moved this nation to pray.The whole nation again had taken to prayers in mass on two other occasions

when AmitabhBachchan fell seriously on the sick bed. 4. Man's need for prayer is as great as his need for bread. As food is necessary for thebody, prayer is

necessary for the soul. I have not a shadow of doubt that the strife andquarrels with which our atmosphere

is so full today are due to the absence of the spirit oftrue prayer. True prayer never goes unanswered,''

wrote Gandhiji. According to Vasudevan,Secretary of the Rajghat Samadhi Samiti, all-religion prayer

meetings are held every Fridayat Rajghat from 4 p.m. to 5.15 p.m. 5. It is said that the act of prayer changes people and situations. There is a general impressionthat prayer is

an act of seeking favours from God for selfish ends. It is as if all prayingpeople are only interested in

taking their shopping lists to their Maker!For from it, the very act of praying teaches one to sympathize

with those who suffer. Itbroadens one's vision and outlook. It builds up one's character by imparting a

sense ofresponsibility towards other people and situations. 6. The latest example of a praying nation comes from the United States which is often labelledas too

materialistic. Speaking at the national Prayer Breakfast at Washington in the secondweek of February,

President George Bush praised Americans of all faiths for turning to prayerin the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. He said he had spent much time 'onebended knee' since terrorists attacked the World

Trade Centre and the Pentagon, killing morethan 3000 people. 7. Regardless of the religious affiliations, people in the affected areas showed an exemplarysense of

togetherness in the hour of tragedy. All differences of religion, ethnicity, race andlanguage were forgotten

as volunteers got busy assuaging the pain and sorrow felt by thevictims. The American example has

several lessons for India which is also a pluralisticsociety. It has demonstrated that differences of religion

and ethnicity need not stand in theway of the nation unitedly facing all its challenges. If it is true that all

religious faiths teachtolerance, humility and the value of helping neighbours, then the religious leaders of

thisnation could also engender unity and oneness of purpose by coming together periodicallyto pray for

the nation. And when they focus on the fact that all people, regardless of theirdifferences share one

common destiny, there could be greater communal harmony. Such aconsciousness ought to pave the way

for peace in society.

1. On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the most

(a) It provides food to the soul.

(b) It is an act of seeking favour from God.

(c) It teaches us to sympathize with those who suffer.

i. Comment on the importance of the collective prayer organized by the Father of the Nation. ii. On what occasions did the people of all faiths organize prayers at their places of worship?

iii. What has the absence of the true prayer resulted in? iv. What does the act of praying teach us? v. What lesson does the America example give to India?
