Power and possession have been central pursuits of modem civilization for a long time. They blocked out or distorted other features of the western renaissance (revival) which promised so much for humanity. What people have been and are still being taught to prize is money, success, and control over the lives of others, acquisition of more and more objects. Modern social, political, and economic systems, whether capitalist, fascist or communist, reject in their working the basic principle that the free and creative enfoldment of every man, woman and child is the true measure of the worth of any society. Such enfoldment requires understanding and imagination, integrity and compassion, cooperation among people and harmony between the human species and the rest of nature. Acquisitiveness and the pursuit of power have made the modern man an aggressor against everything that is non-human, an exploiter, and oppressor of those who are poor, meek, and unorganized, a pathological type which hates and distrusts the world and suffers from both acute loneliness and false pride. The need for a new renaissance is deeply felt by those sensitive and conscientious men and women who not only perceive the dimensions of the crisis of our age but who also realize that only through conscious and cooperative human effort may this crisis be met and probably even overcome.

The secret of writing good English is not just memorizing the rules of grammar; actually, it lies in developing the habit of unambiguous thinking and precise expression. Matthew Arnold commented, "Have something to say and say it as clearly as possible." Many of the students in Pakistan have no particular style because they have nothing to say. If any unclear idea they have, they express it vaguely. Perspicuity or lucidity is the prime requisite of an impressive writing style. In order to attain lucidity, we should avoid dangling of ideas, vagueness of expression, redundancy of arguments, and use of bombast words.

Q:Which of the following statements is trueabout the main problem of a common student?

Choose an answer

A common student cannot express his ideas

A common student has bulk of ideas to write so he becomes ambiguous in writing

A common student has no clear idea about what to write

Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to find out abnormalities in the unborn fetus and take remedial action to rectify some defects which would otherwise prove to be fatal to the child. Though genetic engineering is still at its infancy, scientists can now predict with greater accuracy a genetic disorder. It is not yet an exact science since they are not in a position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder will set in. While they have not yet been able to change the genetic order of the gene in germs, they are optimistic and are holding out that in the near future they might be successful in achieving this feat. They have, however, acquired the ability in manipulating tissue cells. However, genetic misinformation can sometimes be damaging for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic information may lead to a tendency to brand some people as inferiors. Genetic information can therefore be abused and its application in deciding the sex of the fetus and its subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines. But on this issue geneticists cannot be squarely blamed though this charge has often been leveled at them. It is mainly a societal problem .At present genetic engineering is a costly process of detecting disorders but scientists hope to reduce the costs when technology becomes more advanced. This is why much progress in this area has been possible in scientifically advanced and rich countries like the U.S.A., U.K. and Japan. It remains to be seen if in the future this science will lead to the development of a race of supermen or will be able to obliterate disease from this world.

Q:At present genetic engineering can rectify all genetic disorders. Is it?

Yes

No

It can do so only in some cases

The tanneries claim that chemical waste dumps pose no threat to people living near them. If this is true, then why do they locate the plants in sparsely populated regions?

Q:Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author's argument?

The Burmese ferret badger burrows its home in the ground. Based on the fact that different local populations of Burmese ferret badgers of the same species dig homes of different styles, zoologists have concluded that the badgers building styles are a culturally acquired, rather than a genetically transmitted, trait.

Q:Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the zoologists?

Choose an answer

There are more common characteristics than there are differences among the Burmese ferret badger's styles of the local Burmese ferret badger population that has been studied most extensively

Young Burmese ferret badgers are inept at digging burrows and apparently spend years watching their eldersbefore becoming accomplished in the local style

The homes of one species of badger lack the characteristics of the homes of most other species of badger

Burmese ferret badgers are found only in Burma and India, where local populations of the badgers apparently seldom have contact with one another

A poster in an eye clinic advises people, who have received eye drops X that blur vision, refrain from driving until they can do so safely. In a Gov't initiated hospital study, however, subjects questioned immediately after they received such drops and underestimated the time necessary to regain their driving ability. This result indicates that many people with eye drops X will be unlikely to follow the advice.

Q:Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

Choose an answer

Many people, if they know they will receive eye drops X, make arrangements beforehand for a friend or relative to drive them home

The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than they would if they were outside the framework of a scientific experiment

Some people ask their doctors not to give them eye drops X that blur vision if they will have to drive to get home afterward

The subjects in the study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely
