        Directions (Qs. 121?130) :     Read the following passage

carefully and answer the questions given below it.  Certain

words/phrases in the passage are printed in bold to help you

locate them while answering some of the questions. 

        Nature is an infinite source of beauty.  Sunrise and

sunset, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests

and fields provide joy and bliss to the human mind and heart

for hours together.  Everything in nature is splendid and

divine.  Everyday and every season of the year has a

peculiar beauty to unfold.   Only one should have eyes to

behold it and a heart to feel it like the English poet

William Wordsworth who after seeing daffodils said: ?And

then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the

daffodils?. 

        Nature is a great teacher.  The early man was thrilled with

beauty and wonders of nature.  The Aryans worshipped nature.

 One can learn the lessons in the vast school of nature.  

Unfortunately the strife, the stress and the tension of

modern life have made people immune to beauties of nature. 

Their life is so full of care that they have no time to

stand and stare.  They cannot enjoy the beauty of lowing

rivers, swinging trees, flying birds and majestic mountains

and hills.   There is however, a cry to go back to village

from the concrete and artificial jungle of cities.    Hence

the town planners of today pay special attention to provide

enough number of natural scenic spots in town planning.  To

develop a balanced personality, one needs to have a healthy

attitude which can make us appreciate and enjoy the beauty

of nature. 

        There is other balm to soothe our tired soul and listless

mind than the infinite nature all around us.  We should

enjoy it fully to lead a balanced and harmonious life, full

of peace and tranquility. 

121.    Which of the following words has the SAME meaning as

the word care as used in the passage ?

        (a)     grief

        (b)     want

        (c)     needs

        (e)     prejudices

        Ans:    ( a )   grief

122.    Choose the word which is most OPPOSITE in meaning of

the word unfold as used in the passage.

        (a)     declare

        (b)     conceal

        (c)     describe

        (d)     perpetuate

        (e)     evolve

        Ans:    ( b )   conceal

123.    Which of the following statements is not made in the

passage about Nature?

        (a)     Nature is an infinite source of beauty

        (b)     Everything in nature is splendid and divine

        (c)     Nature is a great teacher

        (d)     The Aryans worshipped Nature

        (e)     The early man was scared of Nature

        Ans:    ( e )   The early man was scared of Nature

124.    What is needed to develop balanced personality?

        (a)     interpersonal skills
