Section 3 Linguistic Competence Test (LCT) Part I Instruction : Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. 2 mark of each correct answer
Reverse discrimination, minority recruitment, racial quotas, and more generally, affirmative action are phrases that carry powerful emotional charges. But why should affirmative action, of all government policies, be so controversial? In a sense, affirmative action is like other government programs e.g., defence, conservation and public schools. Affirmative action programs are designed to achieve legitimate government objectives such as improved economic efficiency, reduced social tension and general betterment of the public welfare. While it cannot be denied that there is no guarantee that affirmative action will achieve these results, neither can it be denied that there are plausible, even powerful, sociological and economic arguments pointing to its likely success. Government programs, however, entail a cost; i.e., the expenditure of social or economic resources. Setting aside cases in which the specific user is charged a fee a service (toll roads and tuition at the state institutions), the burdens and benefits of publicly funded or mandates programs are widely shared. When an individual benefits personally from a government program, it is only because she or he is one member of a larger beneficiary class, e.g., a farmer; and most government revenue is obtained through a scheme of general taxation to which all are subject. Affirmative action programs are exception to this general rule, though not, as it might at first seem, because the beneficia beneficiaries ries of the programs programs are specific individual individuals. s. It is still the case that those those who ultimately ultimately benefit benefit from affirmative action do so only by virtue of their status as a member of a larger group, a particular minority. Rather the difference is the location of burden. In affirmative action, the burden of “f unding” the program is not shared universally, and that is inherent in the nature of the case, as can be seen clearly in the case of affirmative action of employment. Often job promotions are allocated along a single dimension – seniority. When an employee promotes a less senior worker from a minority group, the person disadvantaged by the move is easily identified. The worker with greatest seniority on a combined minority-non-minority minority-non-minority list passed over for promotion. Now we are confronted with tow competing moral sentiments. On the one hand, there is the idea that those who have been unfairly disadvantaged by past discriminatory practices are entitled to some kind of assistance. On the other hand, is the feeling that no person ought to be deprived of what is rightfully his, even for the worthwhile service of his fellow humans. In this respect, disability due to past racial discrimination, at least in so far as there is no connection to the passed-over worker, is like a natural evil. When a villainous man willfully and with out any provocation strikes and injures another, there is not only the feeling that the injured person ought to be compensated but there is also consensus that the appropriate party to bear the cost is the one who inflicted the injury. Yet if the same innocent man stumbled and injured himself, it would be surprising to hear some one argue that the villainous man ought to be taxed for the injury simply because he might have tripped the victim had he been given the opportunity. There may very well be agreement that the victim should be aided in his recovery with money and personal assistance, and many will give
willingly, but there is also agreement that no one individual ought to be singled out and forced to do what must ultimately be considered an act of charity. Instruction: Tick the correct answer from the multiple choice given below each question.

Section 3 Linquistic Competence Test (LCT) Part I Instructions: Read the passage carefully and encircle the correct choice from the multiple choices to specific questions given below. 2 mark for each correct answer.
Life our political society, the university is under severer attack today and perhaps for the same reason namely, that we had accomplished much of what we have set out to do in this generation, that we have done so imperfectly and while we, have been doing so, we have said a lot of things that simply are not true. t rue. For example we had earnestly declared that full equality of opportunity in universities exists for everyone regardless of economic circumstance, race or religion. This has never been true. When it was least true, the assertion was not attacked. Now, that it is nearly true, not only the assertion but also the university itself is locked in mortal combat with the seekers of perfection. In another sense, the university has failed. It has stored great quantities of knowledge; it leaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them better. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come. On the great branches of knowledge – the Science, Social Science and humanities – the sciences are applied sometimes almost as soon as they are learned. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, but almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use Philosophy in defining our conduct. We do not use literature as the source of real and vicarious experience to save us the trouble of living every life again on our own.
The great tasks of the university in the next generation are to search the past to form the future to begin an earnest search for a new and relevant set values and to learn use the knowledge; we have the questions that come before us. The university should use one-fourth of a student’s time in his undergraduate undergraduate years and organize it into course, which might be called history, and literature and philosophy and anything else appropriate and organized around these primary problems. The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even a tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas the less important ones get solved. One primary problem is that of interfering with what some call human destiny and others call biological development, which is party the result of genetic circumstance and party the result of accidental environmental able to interfere chemically with the actual development often individual and perhaps biologically with his genes. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with the premeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes; each genetically prepared to carry out a predetermined mission. This can be done, but what happens to free will and the rights of the individual? Here we have a primary problem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say but the students won’t learn enough to move to a higher class of learning, And certainly they would not learn anything we are in the habit of making them learn but they would learn some other things. things. Surely, in the other three quarts of their time, they would learn what they would usually do, and that might even learn to thing about it by carrying new habits into their more conventional courses. The advantages would be overwhelmingly greater than the disadvantages. After all, the purpose of education is not only to impart knowledge but to teach students to use the knowledge that they either have or will find f ind to teach them to ask and seek answers for important questions. questions. 1.

Part II Write a precise of the following passage with a suitable title in about one-third of the size of the passage: (10 Marks allotted to – Appropriate title – 2 marks, Correct compostion – 3 marks, Correct thematic presentation – 5 marks)
Prof. Irving Younger of the Cornell University suggested that our judges should evolve the doctrine that “no law-is validly enacted unless legislators voting for it have read it”. By this test 95 per cent of the law passed by the Indian Parliament and the State legislatures would have to be invalidated. The national conscience has to be aroused to such a degree that it will cease to tolerate falsehood and dishonesty in public life. Standards of ethics and decency in public life are less easy to enforce by law than by public opinion. Obedience to values – which is enforced not by the machinery of clean public life. What India today badly needs, and sadly lacks, is not political leadership but moral leadership, which can lead to a renaissance of t rue Indian culture. Many young people have been saying that they could run the country much better than the old politicians who have immatured with age. It is difficult to believe that we are living in the same country, which produced the galaxy of talent and character at the time when we gained our independence. It is vicious circle. Men of talent and integrity will not enter public life because of the fifth and the stench; and yet public life cannot be cleansed unless men of talent and integrity enter it. I have great hopes in our young men and women. To the youth of this country I would like to make an earnest appeal to enter public life and would commend for their consideration three maxims:
• • •
You must not desert the ship because you cannot control the winds. It is better to try to do something and fail, rather than try to do nothing and succeed. For the rebirth of morality in Indian politics, the period of gestation will prove lengthy and the delivery promises to be painful, but you cannot dedicate your life to a greater cause.
If experts imbued with a spirit of dedication and wisdom were to be inducted into the cabinet and were to be allowed the requisite freedom of action, they could transform this country into one of the great economic economic powers. Disraeli said, “Money is not the measure of a men, but it is often the means of finding out how small he is”. By this measure, our politicians must be among the smallest on earth. Our political scene presents an incredible army of pudding-headed mercenaries. We must somehow replace them by men of honour and knowledge. (433 words)

“Next, should each of the Law Lords write a separate opinion of his own? Or should there be only one judgment in which all agree? Up to Lord Reid’s death in 1975 the great majority of the Law Lords were in favour of separate judgments, each writing his own. Lord Reid said that he found that when the Law Lords gave only one judgment there was a tendency for the lower courts to approach that judgment as if it were an Act of Parliament. He said that, in one case, it led to an absolute ‘disaster’. But since 1975 the pendulum has been swinging strongly against separate judgments. It has gathered momentum in the last two or three years. Time after time, in cases of the first importance, there has only been one judgment. Time after time the lower courts have felt bound by that one judgment and by all the sayings in that judgment. They are called obiter dicta. They are really sayings just by the way, as if an aside. Yet they are treated as binding. I do not think that is right”. “Should the Law Lords seek to do justice? Or should they prefer certainty? In the 1950s, under the influence of Lord Simonds, the law was static. But under Lord Reid it became moderately progressive. Nowadays the Law Lords have varying views. Some are for certainty rather than justice. Some are for progress rather than standing still. I have made my own view clear time our of mind. I would always strive to do justice. Certainty, I regard, often, as will-o’-the-wisp”. “The judgments of the Law Lords are still called ‘speeches’. This is because the Lord used always to sit in the Legislative Chamber of the House of Lords. The Law Lords, in giving, their opinions, gave them as if they were in a debate. In coming to a decision, the motion was put to the House just as after a debate. For instance: That the decision of the Court of Appeal to affirmed. Those in favor say ‘Aye’. Those against say ‘Nay’. They ‘Ayes have it, sometime. But at other times the decision is reversed. Nowadays the judgments are never ‘speeches’. The House sits in a Committee Room, not in the Legislative Chamber. That is to hear the arguments. But when they given their judgments, they sit in the Chamber itself. Instead of being speeches, they are essays. They are never delivered by word of mouth. They are only handed out to the parties. They are sometimes so complicated that they cannot be readily understood on a first reading. They have to be studied and analyzed word-by-word. All this inevitably leads to long sentences. Every statement of principle has to be qualified by exceptions of some kind or other. Then practitioners and academics pore over them to approve - to comment – or to criticize. Always of course ‘with respect’. That is the catchword with which the Law Lords on occasion reverse the court below. They differ ‘with respect’ sometimes ‘with great respect’, occasionally ‘with the utmost possible respect’. It is just a polite way of saying that they wholeheartedly wholeheartedly disagree”.

Instructions: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 41 to 48:
We are constantly told that information technology will take us to a gleaming gigabyte infested other world called Cyberspace, Baloney! The Industrial Revolution did not take us to Motorspace: it brought motors into our lives. The information Revolution will do the same, introducing new tools, which we will use to serve our ancient human needs. This new movement is not about multimedia, virtual reality or even the mighty World wide Web. It is about an emerging information marketplace in which computers and their users everywhere will buy, sell and freely exchange information and “information work”. When people talk about information, they think of the traditional content of books, newspapers, television and radio, which represent about 5% of the U.S. economy. No one talks about information work-the activity people and machines perform when they transform information, which accounts for 60% of the U.S. economy. Information work will take many guises in the information marketplace. Imagine a doctor in Sri Lanka examination a homeless person in a San Francisco clinic who is connected by means of a few electrodes to a diagnostic kiosk with a nurse standing by. The doctor provides human information work-his medical diagnostic diagnostic skill for $ 2.00 a visit. The information marketplace marketplace will bring this and many other new tools t ools into our lives through electronic bulldozers and electronic proximity.
In the industrial era, mechanical bulldozers allowed workers to throw away their shovels and offload their muscle work on machines. Today, we squint our eyes and scorch our brains in front of inscrutable mail headers and pages of impenetrable text. We are still shoveling with our eyes and brains but dismiss the drudgery because our siliconstudded shovels make us fell modem. It is time we shed the shovels and exploited electronic bulldozers. New tools like e-forms will make this easier than it sounds. To fill in a travel form, for example, example, all I have to type or say out loud is ”Computer take us to Athens this weekend”. My machine knows that us means two and that we prefer business class. It calls the airline computer and after a few exchanges, the machines complete the booking. It takes me three seconds to give my command and it takes the machines ten minutes to finish the job – a 20,000% productivity gain. Electronic bulldozer tools like this will get much of our information work done. We will increase our produc productiv tivity ity furthe furtherr by making making our machi machine nes s truly truly easie easierr to use. use. One One good good way is to speak speak to them. them. Spee Speech ch understanding systems are finally becoming technologically mature and affordable. The changes arising from the second major new force-electronic proximity will be just as large. As the information marketplace develops. develops. We will be closer to a thousand times more people than we were with the automobile. Within a decade, half a billion people and machines will be squeezed with into one gigantic electronic city block. The closeness will lead to powerful benefits through group work and tele work but also to info predators and new kinds of crimes. I don’t expect the ratio of good to bad will change; the angles and devils are within us, not in our machines. Electronic proximity will strengthen tribalism. Ethnic groups scattered across the globe will have a way to unite, perhaps even extending the meaning of a nation from a land mass to an ethnic network. At the same time, electronic proximity will strengthen diversity, because when people from different ethnic groups meet within a “tribe” of classical music buffs, for example, they will go to know one another within that subgroup. This won’t lead to a universal global culture but a thin veneer of shared norms. It will also give rise to new projects that have worthy human purposes like a Virtual Compassion Corps, which could match the providers of human help with those worldwide who need it. Electronic proximity will ultimately lead to the increased increased democratiza democratization tion not so much because information information will traverse traverse national national borders but because because even totalitarian nations will want to participate in the major new economic force of the 21 st century. To do so, they will have to play by the rules of engagement made by the predominantly democratic nations that will establish information marketplace. The information marketplace will create problems too. Unless we intervene, it will increase the gap between the rich and the poor nations because the rich will be able to afford the t he electronic bulldozers, while the poor will not. Electronic proximity will inundate us with info junk, creating a need for human intermediaries intermediaries who can help us find what we want. And electronic proximity will be perceived by some as a license to attack cultures that took thousands of years to build. National leaders will no doubt use politics and technology to protect their cultures against such info-assaults. They will also need to negotiate how to handle cross border information violations as they did earlier with international crime and trade. Because of the widespread changes it will foster, the Information Revolution will earn its place in history history as the socio-econom socio-economic ic movement movement,, followin following g Agrarian Agrarian and Industria Industriall Revoluti Revolution. on. May be then, then, having having understood the plough, the motor and the computer, we will dare to go beyond artifacts and embark upon the fourth revolution-striving to understand understand ourselves. 41.

Writint Writint more may may be penalized. (2 + 6 = 8 Marks) In a histor historic ic judgme judgment nt deliv delivere ered d on Augu August st 6, 2003, 2003, the Suprem Supreme e Court Court of India India ruled ruled that that govern governme ment nt employees had no “fundamental, “fundamental, legal, moral or equitable right” to go on strike even for a just cause. Disposing off a batch batch of six petiti petitions ons challe challeng nging ing the dismissa dismissal. l. From From servic service e of 1.7 lakh lakh Tamil Tamil Nadu Nadu govern governme ment nt employees, a Bench consisting of Mr. Justice, M.B.Shah and Mr. Justice. A. R. Lakshmanan, observed that “apart from statutory rights, Government employees cannot claim that they can hold the society at ransom by going on strike.” The Bench made it clear that even if there was injustice, they had to resort to the machinery provided under different statutory provisions for redressal of their grievance. The Court observed: “Strike as a weapon is mostly misused which results in chaos and total misadministration. Strike affects society as a whole and particularly when two lakh employees go on strike en masse, the entire administration comes to a grinding halt. “The Bench recalled the Supreme Court’s decision in the All India Bank Employees’ Association case in 1962 in which it was held that trade unions had no guaranteed rights to an effective collective bargaining or to strike, either as collective bargaining bargaining or to strike, either as collective bargaining bargaining or to strike, either as part of collective bargaining or otherwise.
It was the opinion of the Court that a strike does more harm that any justice. “Sufferer is the society – public at large.” The Bench also reiterated its earlier observation that the fundamental rights of the people as a whole could not be subservient to the claim of the fundamental right of an individual or only a section of people. “In the case of strike by a teacher, the entire educational system suffers; many students are prevented from appearing in their examinations which ultimately affect their whole career. In case of strike by doctors, innocent patients suffer, if transport employees go on strike, the entire movement of society comes to a standstill and business is adversely affected. Occasionally, public property is either destroyed or damaged creating bitterness among the public against those who are on strike.” The Bench agreed with submission of the senior counsel for Tamil Nadu. Mr. K.K. Venugopal that approximately 90 per cent of the amount collected from direct tax was spent on the salary of about 12 lakh government employees. And in a society where there was large-scale unemployment and a number of qualified persons were eagerly waiting for jobs, strikes could not be justified on any equitable ground. The The Judges Judges said that that apart apart from from being being consc consciou ious s of rights rights,, “we have to be fully fully aware aware of our duties, duties, responsibilities responsibilities and effective methods for discharging discharging the same. For redressing their grievance, instead of going on strike, if employees do some more word honestly, diligently and efficiently, such gesture would not only be appreciated by the authority but also by the people at large.” Reacting to the Supreme Court judgment, the CPM observed that judgment in one stroke deprived lakhs of government employees of their basic right to go on strike. It was contrary to the Fundamental Rights in the Constitution and the ILO Conventions to which India was a party. The CPI demanded the review of the judgment, describing the order as “unacceptable and aimed at scuttling the workers and employees’ legitimate activities and democratic rights.” Various trade unions criticized the judgment for imposing what they called a blanket ban on the “right to strike.” st rike.” ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

It was first photograph that I had ever seen, and it fascinated me. I can remember holding it at every angle in order to catch the flickering light from the oil lamp on the dresser. The man in the photograph was unsmiling, but his eyes were kind. I had never met him before but I felt that I knew him. One evening when I was looking at the photograph, as I always did before I went to sleep, I noticed a shadow across the man’s thin face. I moved the photograph so that the shadow lay perfectly around his hollow cheek. How different he looked! That night I could not sleep, thinking about about the letter I would write. First I would tell him that I was eleven years old, and if he had a little girl of my age, she would write to me instead of him. I knew he was a busy man. Then I would explain to him the real purpose of my letter. I would tell him how wonderful he looked with the shadow that I had seen across his photograph, and I would most carefully suggest that he grows whiskers.
Four months later when I met him at the train station near my home in Westfield, New York, he was wearing a full beard. He was so much taller than I had imagined from my tiny photograph. “Ladies and gentlemen”, he said “I have no speech to make and no time to make it in. I appear before you that I may see you and that I may see you and you may see me.” Then he picked me right up and kissed me on both cheeks. The whiskers scratched. “Do you think I look better, my little friend?” he asked me. My name is Grace Bedell, and the man in the photograph was Abraham Lincoin. 31. 31.
