At a time they didn't choose, and in a way they didn't foresee, more than a hundred million persons in Europe found their lives brutally taken from them.And yet the world has drawn four painful lessons from the ashes of our century. First, even under conditions of nihilism, better than cowardice is fidelity to truth. From fidelity to truth, inner liberty is wrested. Second, the boast of Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler that dictatorship is more vigorous than "decadent democracy" was empty. It led to concentration camps. Third, the claim that socialism is morally superior to capitalism, and better for the poor, was also empty. It paved the road to serfdom. Fourth, vulgar relativism, now widely ascendant, undermines the culture of liberty. If it triumphs, free institutions may not survive the twenty-first century.One principle that today's intellectuals most passionately disseminate is vulgar relativism, "nihilism with a happy face." For them, it is certain that there is no truth, only opinion: my opinion, your opinion. They abandon the defence of intellect. There being no purchase of intellect upon reality, nothing else is left but preference, and will is everything. They retreat to the romance of will.But this is to give to Mussolini and Hitler, posthumously and casually, what they could not vindicate by the most wilful force of arms. It is to miss the first great lesson rescued from the ashes of World War II: Those who surrender the domain of intellect make straight the road of fascism. Totalitarianism, as Mussolini defined it, is la feroce volanta. It is the will-to-power, unchecked by any regard for truth. To surrender the claims of truth upon humans is to surrender Earth to thugs. It is to make a mockery of those who endured agonies for truth at the hands of torturers.And yet, in this dark night of a century, a first fundamental lesson was drawn from the bowels of nihilism itself: Truth matters. Even for those unsure whether there is a God, a truth is different from a lie. Torturers can twist your mind, even reduce you to a vegetable, but as long as you retain the ability to say "Yes" or "No" as truth alone commands, they cannot own you.This is the plain insight that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn expressed when he wrote in his 1970 Nobel Address that one single truth is more powerful than all the weapons in the world, and that, dark as that hour then seemed in the world, with communism everywhere advancing, truth would prevail against the lie; and that those who clung to truth would overturn tyranny.31) Nihilism can be connected to:1) Obliteration of truth on account of extreme actions initiated against protectors of truth2) A society where rules are considered paramount, leaving very little scope for individual freedom3) The discovery of a covenant that truth will help you retain your freedom even under dire circumstances4) The universal truth that suppressing the inner liberty can cause damages that last for centuries.32) Which of the following comprehensively presents the rationale behind the authors thought that relativism undermines the culture of liberty?1) The will to succeed takes a beating with the practice of relativism and this encourages authoritarianism.2) Intellect starts paying homage to arms power, thus making slaves out of free thinkers.3) With relativism, dictators get a free rein to carry out atrocities on the weak and oppressed population4) Will power suppresses intellect leading to the surrender of truth, and the will of the stronger person prevails33) Will power suppresses intellect leading to the surrender of truth, and the will of the stronger person prevails1) The twentieth century was the bloodiest century till date2) Dictatorship is not better than democracy and that it leads only to deaths at the hands of tyrants3) Dictators cannot taste success with use of arms when truth prevails.4) Tyrants can never be successful for long since their love for power will cause their downfall.Directions for Questions 34 to 35:34) In each question, there are five sentences.

A good definition is provided by Gert (1998) who says that morality is an informal public system applying to all rational persons, governing behavior that affects others, and has the lessening of evil or harm as its goal. The important parts of the definition are that morality is public and morality affects others. This idea that morality is public and applies to all rational persons is called the normative (as opposed to the descriptive) approach. The word normative derives from the sociological term norm, and norms are those parts of our culture which contain the mostly unspoken, yet commonly shared expectations about appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Norms are the building blocks of social group formation (and what a sociologist might say holds society together), since, within limits, norms define the boundaries of what constitutes conformity and what constitutes deviance. Norms are the mental expectations that people share about the acceptable range of behaviors, not the behaviors themselves.The normative approach to morality is also called moral skepticism, which denies that there is an objective basis to truth, honest differences of opinion are possible, and there are multiple ethical theories each deserving of separate study. If you make too much out of the part of this which says that there is no truth (and nothing is inherently wrong), then that is called moral nihilism. Skepticism is a less extreme position than nihilism, and in many ways, skepticism is just keeping an open mind.On the other hand, if one follows the descriptive approach to morality, instead of the normative approach, this is called moral relativism because what you would be doing is describing a person, society, or standard, and comparing or relating it to all other persons, societies, or standards. There are different varieties of moral relativism. A focus on individual persons and whether they live by their own principles is called moral subjectivism. A focus on any particular society or culture as the dominant one which should serve as a guide for the rest of the world is called moral absolutism, which also refers to the idea that there exists just one moral principle from which all others derive. Most moral relativists hold to the idea of moral objectivism, which is that there exists a set of fundamental moral principles (perhaps as many as ten or so) that are so fundamental as to be not overridden by other moral principles in cases of conflict. When analyzing societies via the descriptive approach, it is important to make sure you are describing morality, and not the laws, customs, etiquette, and folkways of a people. Moral does not mean legal. Laws and customs, it is true, affect others, but in searching for morality, we are looking for the fundamental rules of behavior that transcend person, place, and time.42) Which of the following is not true according to the passage?1) Moral absolutism advocates the theory that all moral principles are derived from just one moral principle.2) When a person believes that nothing is wrong and there is no such thing as the truth he is then practicing moral nihilism.3) The normative approach to morality focuses on individual persons and not their ability to compare themselves with others4) Academic experts may advocate skepticism but certainly not nihilism.43) Moral relativists differ from supporters of normative approach to morality in which of the following ways?1) Moral relativists use comparison to define morality while the normative approach dictates that morality is widespread and all rational persons come under its banner.2) Moral relativism focuses on the individual and his set of principles whereas the normative approach caters to the public.3) Choices (A) and (B)4) Neither (A) nor (B)44) Choose the term that advocates the following viewpoint - Should any disagreement arise there is no room for any change in the basic principles of morality.1) Moral absolutism2) Moral Objectivism3) Moral relativism4) Moral SubjectivismDIRECTIONS for questions 45 to 47: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow it.Some artists go out in a blaze of glory. Pierre-Auguste Renior went out in a blaze of kitsch. At least, that's the received opinion about the work of his final decades: all those pillowy nudes, sunning their abundant selves in dappled glades; all those peachy girls, strumming guitars and idling in bourgeois parlors; all that pink. In the long twilight of his career, the old man found his way to a kissable classicism that modern eyes can find awfully hard to take. All the same, the Renoir of this period - the three very productive decades before his death in 1919 at the age of 78 - fascinated some of the chief figures of modernism. Picasso was on board; his thick -limbed 'neoclassical' women from the 1920 are indebted to Renior.So was Matisse, who had one eye on Renoir's Orientalist dress-up fantasies like the Concert, with its flattened space and overall patterning, when he produced his odalisques. Given that so much of late Renior seems saccharine and semi comical to us, is it still possible to see what made it modern to them? Yes and no. To understand the Renoir in the 20th Century you have to remember that before he became a semiclassicist, he was a consummate Impressionist. You need to picture him in 1874, 33 years old, painting side by side with Monet in Argenteuil, teasing out the new possibilities of sketchy brushwork to capture fleeting light as it fell across people and things in an indisputably modern world.But in the decade that followed, Renoir became one of the movement's first apostates. Impressionism affected many people in the 19th century in much the way the internet does now. It both charmed and unnerved them. It brought to painting a novel immediacy, but it also gave back a world that felt weightless and unstable. What we now call post - Impressionism was the inevitable by-product of that anxiety. Artists like Seurat and Gauguin searched for an art that owed nothing to the stale models of academicism but possessed the substance and authority that Impressionism had let fall away.For Renoir, a turning point came during his honeymoon to Rome and Naples in 1881. Face to face with the firm outlines of Raphael and the musculature of Michelangelo, he lost faith in his flickering sunbeams. He returned to France determined to find his way to lucid, distinct forms in an art that reached for the eternal, not the momentary. By the later years of that decade, Renoir had lost his taste for the modern world anyway. As for modern women, in 1888 he could write, "I consider that women who are authors, lawyers and politicians are monsters". ("The woman who is an artist," he added graciously, "is merely ridiculous.")Ah, but the woman who is a goddess - or at least harks back to one - that's different matter. It would be Renoir's aim to reconfigure the female nude in a way that would convey the spirit of the classical world without classical trappings. Set in "timeless" outdoor settings, these women by their weight and scale and serenity alone - along with their often recognizably classical poses - would point back to antiquity. For a time, Renior worked with figures so strongly outlined that they could have been put down by Ingres with a jackhammer. By 1892, he had drifted back toward a fluctuating impressionist brushstroke.Firmly contoured or flickering, his softly scalped women are as fullbodied as Doric columns. This was one of the qualities that caught Picasso's eye, especially after his first trip to Italy, in 1917. He would assimilate Renoir along-side his own sources in Iberian sculpture and elsewhere to come up with a frankly more powerful, even haunting, amalgam of the antique and the modern in paintings like Woman in a White Hat.Renior was most valuable as a stepping - stone for artists making more potent use of the ideas he was developing. The heart of the problem is the challenge. Renoir set for himself: to reconcile classical and Renaissance models with the 18th century French painters he loved. To synthesize the force and clarity of classicism with the intimacy and charm of the Rococo is a nearly impossible trick. How do you cross the power of Phidias with the delicacy of Fragonard? The answer: at your own risk - especially the risk of admitting into your work the weaknesses of the Rococo. It's fine line between charming and insipid, and 18th century French painters crossed it all the time. So did Renoir.45) All of the following are true in light of the passage EXCEPT.1) Fragonard is an 18th century artist.2) Picasso combined classicism and modernism in 'Woman in a white Hat".3) Renoir was a semi - Classicist, who became an Impressionist.4) Gauguin suffered from post - Impressionism anxiety.46) We can infer from the passage that the word 'odalisques' means1) pillars2) landscapes3) figures4) women47) The passage suggests that1) Renoir was greatly misunderstood in his lifetime.2) Classicism and modernism don't go together.3) Renoir's later work appealed to modern tastes.4) Renoir's artistic appeal waned in the twilight of his career.

Some experts however are in favour of only a human heart being used for patients who need a heart transplant.Which of the following most seriously undermines the recommendation of mechanical pumps as an artificial heart?1) A heart transplant may not help patients who do not restrict the amount of salt in their diet.2) A major part of treatment for heart aliments is the post-operative regimen that results in strengthening of heart tissue and muscle.3) Only the human heart secretes a particular hormone that regulates blood pressure in the patient recuperating from a heart attack.4) There aren't many cardiologists who understand how a mechanical pump could be made to work efficiently.60) Szymanski suggests that the problem of racism in football may be present even today. He begins by verifying an earlier hypothesis that clubs' wage bills explain 90% of their performance. Thus, if players' salaries were to be only based on their abilities, clubs that spend more should finish higher. If there is pay discrimination against some group of players - fewer teams bidding for black players thus lowering the salaries for blacks with the same ability as whites - that neat relation may no longer hold. He concludes that certain clubs seem to have achieved much less than what they could have, by not recruiting black players. Which one of the following findings would best support Szymanski's conclusion?1) Certain clubs took advantage of the situation by hiring above-average shares of black players.2) Clubs hired white players at relatively high wages and did not show proportionately good performance.3) During the study period, clubs in towns with a history of discrimination against blacks, under-performed relative to their wage bills.4) Clubs in one region, which had higher proportions of black players had significantly lower wage bills than their counterparts in another region which had predominantly white players.
