(d) ENGLISH Directions (Qs. 76 to 78): Find out which part of the sentence contains the error. The letter corresponding to that part should be marked as the answer.

Ignore errors of punctuations (if any). 76.Most writers agree that this (A)/ is one of the best books that (B)/ has appeared in the last few years (C)/ No error (D) Ans. (c) Sol. Part (B) of the sentence needs correction because the phrase 'one of the best books' acts here as the subject and since the subject is plural the verb too must be used in its plural form. Therefore 'has' must be replaced by 'have'. 77.Many a times (A)/ we feel disappointed at being (B)/ unable to achieve our goals (C)/ No error (D). Ans. (a) Sol. Part (A) of the sentence requires correction. Here, in the phrase 'Many a times', you must use the singular form of the word 'times' because of the immediate presence of the article 'a' just before this word. 78.Most of the developing countries find it (A)/ difficult to cope up with the problems (B)/ created by technological progress (C)/ No error (D) Ans.

(a) 11 Direction (Qs.96 to 100): Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it. What does the screen offer to the story -teller which the novel and the play do not offer? As a medium, has it any unique advantages? It has, in the first place, an arbitrary power over the attention of its audience which no other story-telling medium can exert. It can completely exclude the irrelevant and decide absolutely what is to be seen and heard. It has an unlimited range of emphasis: an emphasis which can be intolerably crude but which can also be infinitely subtle. It can call attention at any moment to any object, indicate a contrast, or build up an association of ideas. Its power to suggest, rather than to state, is limited, of course, by the degree of suggestibility in the public, but that is a limitation which applies to every medium. At present the common denominator of suggestibility may be low, because the art is still in its infancy and has to create its own public as it develops. But the unexplored regions in this field are vast and fascinating. The screen is more natural and lifelike than the stage and it has a greater freedom of movement in time and space. It is more dramatic than the novel. It can suggest, in a few seconds, things which the novelist must take many pages to describe. It has the apparatus for saying what cannot be said in the words. What the novelist is forced to make explicit the film can merely imply. It can, for instance, show how the same person, the same scene, can appear quite differently to different people. It can show the worlds as seen by two lovers, dining together in a popular restaurant—a Nobel hall, vast, commodious, and beautifully decorated, faultless service, exquisite music and themselves, superbly handsome in one another’s eyes, the centre of the scene. The picture carries us from their minds to mind of a jaundiced old gentleman sitting at the next table. The camera becomes his eye instead of theirs. And simply by dint of ingenious photography, by a change in angles, shots and lighting, by emphasis on other details, the same scene appears quite differently. A shabby, awkward boy and his fat sweetheart are munching a bad dinner in a tawdry, overcrowded room, where the waiters have dirty hands and the band plays out of tune. It can show how the same scene appears quite differently to one person on different occasions: it can carry us from the mind of childhood to the mind of middle age and show how the vast lake, the mysterious forest and the lofty mountain can shrink in later years to a small duck pond, a copse and a hillock. 96.Cinema is the most powerful story-telling medium because a) It has mass appeal b) It is cheaper than buying a novel c) It has a powerful hold on the attention of the audience d) It is a dynamic medium Ans. (c) Sol. 'C' is the correct answer. b)Bonome d)Bonhomee b)Idiosyncritic d)Idiosnycratic Tilak Nagar-9311566241, Karol Bagh-8376934679, Pitampura-8376934648, Munirka-9650549487, Laxmi nagar-9953283708 www.vidyaguru.in
