Section 3Linguistic 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 thatcarry 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 economicefficiency, 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, evenpowerful, 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 asidecases in which the specific user is charged a fee a service (toll roads and tuition at the state institutions), the burdensand benefits of publicly funded or mandates programs are widely shared. When an individual benefits personally froma government program, it is only because she or he is one member of a larger beneficiary class, e.g., a farmer; andmost 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 thebeneficiaries of the programs are specific individuals. It is still the case that those who ultimately benefit fromaffirmative action do so only by virtue of their status as a member of a larger group, a particular minority. Rather thedifference is the location of burden. In affirmative action, the burden of funding 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 seniorworker from a minority group, the person disadvantaged by the move is easily identified. The worker with greatestseniority on a combined 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 havebeen unfairly disadvantaged by past discriminatory practices are entitled to some kind of assistance. On the otherhand, is the feeling that no person ought to be deprived of what is rightfully his, even for the worthwhile service of hisfellow humans. In this respect, disability due to past racial discrimination, at least in so far as there is no connection tothe passed-over worker, is like a natural evil. When a villainous man willfully and with out any provocation strikes andinjures another, there is not only the feeling that the injured person ought to be compensated but there is alsoconsensus that the appropriate party to bear the cost is the one who inflicted the injury. Yet if the same innocent manstumbled and injured himself, it would be surprising to hear some one argue that the villainous man ought to be taxedfor the injury simply because he might have tripped the victim had he been given the opportunity. There may very wellbe 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 mustultimately be considered an act of charity.

Read the statement and encircle the most appropriate answer from the multiple choices.

1. Statement: Total contributions of individuals to political parties were up 20 percent in the last parliamentaryelection over the previous election. Hence it is obvious that people are no longer as apathetic as they were, butare taking a greater interest in politics.

Question: Which of the following, if true, would considerably weaken the preceding argument of the statementa. Per capita income of population increased by 15% during the intervening time.b.

Fewer people voted in the last parliamentary election.e. Public leaders continue to warm citizens against the dangers of political apathy.

Questions: The argument above might be criticised in all of the following ways EXCEPT:a. It introduces an inappropriate analogyb. It relies on an unwarranted appeal to authorityc. It fails to take account of costs which prisons have but other places like hotels, temporary shelters or

rest centers do not haved. It is misuses numerical datae. It draws a faculty comparison

3. Statement: Since all crows that I have encountered have been black, it follows that the crows I will see inJodhpur when I go to live there, shall also be black.

Questions: Which of the following most closely parallel the reasoning of the preceding argument?a. Some birds are incapable of flight; there fore, crows are probably incapable of flight.b. Every ballet I have attended has failed to interest me; so theatrical production, which fails to interest

me, must be a ballet.c. Since all cases of severe depression I have encountered were susceptible to treatment by

work either.

5. Statement: We should abolish the public education system and allow schools to operate as autonomous unitscompeting for students. Students will receive government funds in the form of voucher, which they can spend ateh school of their choice. This will force schools to compete for students by offering better and more variededucational services. As in private industry, only the schools that provide customer satisfaction will survive.Since schools that cannot attract students will close, we will see an overall improvement in the quality ofeducation.

Questions: Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the argument above?a. Schools will make sure that all parents and students are thoroughly informed about programs offered.b. Most students and parent will select a school based upon the convenience of its location.c. Students have different interests and different needs that can best be met by a variety of programs.d.

educational expenditures.e. Financial barriers shall limit the educational choices of students from poorer families.

The opponents were proved wrong;following implementation of the plan, but ridership rose dramatically, and there was corresponding drop inautomobile traffic. Nonetheless, the plan failed to achieve its stated objective of reducing average commutingtime.

Question: Which of the following sentence would be the most logical continuation of this argument?a. The plans opponents failed to realize that many people would take advantage of improved but

transportation.b. Unfortunately, politically attractive solutions do not always get results.c. The number of people a vehicle can transport varies directly with the size of the passenger

compartment of the vehicle.d. Opponents cited an independent survey of city commuters showing that before the plans adoption

only one out of every seven used commuter business.e. With the express lanes closed to private automobile traffic, the remaining cars were forced to use too

few lanes and his created gigantic traffic tie-ups.

7. Statement: I maintain that the best way to solve our companys present financial crisis is to bring out a new line

of goods. I challenge anyone who disagrees with this proposed course of auction to show that it will not work.

Question: A flaw in the preceding argument is that ita. Employs group classifications without regard to individualsb. Introduces an analogy which is weakc. Attempts to shift the burden of proof to those who would object to the pland. Fails to provide statistical evidence to show that the plan will actually succeede. Relies upon a discredited economic theory.

8. Subject: That it is impossible to foretell the future is easily demonstrated. For if a person should foresee beinginjured by a mill wheel on the next day, the person would cancel the trip to the mill and remain at home in bed.Since the injury the next day by the mill wheel would not occur, it can not in any way be said that the future hasbeen foretold.

Question: Which of the following best explains the weakness in this argument?a. The author fails to explain how one could actually change the future.b. The author uses the word future in two different ways.c. The author does not explain how anyone could foresee the future.d. The argument is internally inconsistente. The argument is circular.

eventually exhaust our supplies of them.d. Most of the land under which marginal oil and coal supplies lie is more suitable for cultivation or

pasturing than to production of fossil fuels.e. The fuels that are yielded by marginal sources tend to be high in sulphur and other undesirable

elements, which aggravate the air pollution problem.

Section 3Linquistic Competence Test (LCT)

Part I

Instructions: Read the passage carefully and encircle the correct choice from the multiple choices to specificquestions 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 wehad accomplished much of what we have set out to do in this generation, that we have done so imperfectly and whilewe, have been doing so, we have said a lot of things that simply are not true. For example we had earnestly declaredthat full equality of opportunity in universities exists for everyone regardless of economic circumstance, race orreligion.

This has never been true. When it was least true, the assertion was not attacked. Now, that it is nearly true, not onlythe 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, itteaches them better. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come. On the great branches ofknowledge the Science, Social Science and humanities the sciences are applied sometimes almost as soon asthey are learned. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, but almostnever are the humanities well applied. We do not use Philosophy in defining our conduct. We do not use literature asthe source of real and vicarious experience to save us the trouble of living every life again on our own.


19/71

The great tasks of the university in the next generation are to search the past to form the future to begin an earnestsearch 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 students time in his undergraduate years and organize it into course, whichmight be called history, and literature and philosophy and anything else appropriate and organized around theseprimary problems. The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even a tertiary problem is thatprimary 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 interferechemically with the actual development often individual and perhaps biologically with his genes. Obviously, there arebenefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformedpersons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with thepremeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes; each genetically prepared to carry out a predeterminedmission. This can be done, but what happens to free will and the rights of the individual? Here we have a primaryproblem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say but the studentswont learn enough to move to a higher class of learning, And certainly they would not learn anything we are in thehabit of making them learn but they would learn some other things. Surely, in the other three quarts of their time, theywould learn what they would usually do, and that might even learn to thing about it by carrying new habits into theirmore conventional courses. The advantages would be overwhelmingly greater than the disadvantages. After all, thepurpose of education is not only to impart knowledge but to teach students to use the knowledge that they either haveor will f ind to teach them to ask and seek answers for important questions.

1. The author suggest that the university greatest shortcoming is its failure toa. Attempt to provide the equal opportunity for all.b. Offer courses in philosophy and the humanitiesc. Prepare students adequately for professional studies.d. Help the students see the relevance of the humanities to real problems.e. Require students to include in their curriculum liberal arts courses.

2. It can be inferred that the author presupposes that the reader will regard a course in.Literature as a course

a. With little or no practical valueb. Of interest only to academic scholars.c. Required by most universities for graduation

d. Uniquely relevant to todays primary problemse. Uses to teach student good writing skills.

3. Which of the following questions does the author answer in the passage?a. What are some of the secondary problems faced by the past generation?b. How can we improve the performance of our political society?c. Has any particular educational institution tried the proposal introduced by the author?d. What is the possible objection to the proposal offered in the passage?e. Why is the university of today is a better imparter of knowledge than the university of past?

4. With which of the following statement about the use of scientific techniques to change an individuals geneticmakeup would the author least likely agree?

a. Society has no right to use such techniques without the consent of the individual.

b. Such techniques can have a positive benefit for the individual in some cases.c. Use of such techniques may be appropriate even though society, but not the individual benefits.d. The question of the use of such techniques must be placed in a philosophical as well as a scientific

context.e. The answers to questions about the use of such techniques will have important implications for the

structure of our society

5. The primary purpose of the passage toa. Discuss a problem and propose a solutionb. Analyse a system and defend it.c. Present both sides of an issue and allow the reader to draw a conclusion.d. Outline a new idea and criticize it.e. Raise several questions and provide answers to them.

Part II

Write a precise of the following passage with a suitable title in about one-third of the size of the passage: (10Marks 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-isvalidly enacted unless legislators voting for it have read it. By this test 95 per cent of the law passed by the IndianParliament 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 inpublic 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, andsadly lacks, is not political leadership but moral leadership, which can lead to a renaissance of true Indian culture.

Many young people have been saying that they could run the country much better than the old politicians who haveimmatured with age. It is difficult to believe that we are living in the same country, which produced the galaxy of talentand 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 publiclife 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:


31/71

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 allowedthe requisite freedom of action, they could transform this country into one of the great 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, ourpoliticians 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)

Part IV

Read the following passage and answer the questions thereafter in a sentence: (Correct answer will carry twomarks and a wrong answer will invite one negative mark. mark will be deducted for wrong composition inan otherwise correct answer).

Next, should each of the Law Lords write a separate opinion of his own? Or should there be only one judgment inwhich all agree? Up to Lord Reids death in 1975 the great majority of the Law Lords were in favour of separatejudgments, 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 onecase, it led to an absolute disaster. But since 1975 the pendulum has been swinging strongly against separatejudgments. 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 allthe sayings in that judgment. They are called obiter dicta. They are really sayings just by the way, as if an aside. Yetthey 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 LordSimonds, the law was static. But under Lord Reid it became moderately progressive. Nowadays the Law Lords havevarying views. Some are for certainty rather than justice. Some are for progress rather than standing still. I have mademy 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 adebate. In coming to a decision, the motion was put to the House just as after a debate. For instance: That thedecision 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 beingspeeches, they are essays. They are never delivered by word of mouth. They are only handed out to the parties. Theyare sometimes so complicated that they cannot be readily understood on a first reading. They have to be studied andanalyzed word-by-word. All this inevitably leads to long sentences. Every statement of principle has to be qualified byexceptions of some kind or other. Then practitioners and academics pore over them to approve - to comment or tocriticize. 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 theywholeheartedly disagree.
