What needs to be set right is our approach to work. It is a common sight in our country of
employees reporting for duty on time and at the same time doing little work. If an assessment is
made of time they spent in gossiping, drinking tea, eating "pan" and smoking cigarettes, it will be
shocking to know that the time devoted to actual work is negligible. The problem is the standard
which the leadership in administration sets for the staff. Forgot the ministers because they mix
politics and administration. What do top bureaucrats do? What do the below down officials do?
The administration set up remains week mainly because the employees do not have the right
example to follow and they are more concerned about being in the good books of the bosses than
doing work.
37790.The central idea of passage could be best expressed by the following
The employee outlook towards work is justified
The employee must change their outlook towards work
The employees would never change their work culture
The employer-employee relationship is far from healthy
Speech is great blessings but it can also be great curse, for while it helps us to make our intentions
and desires known to our fellows, it can also if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely
misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, and so on,
may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use
different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated may strike an uneducated listener as
pompous. Unwittingly, we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from
what it does to men of our own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but
one which demands careful handling. Only a fool will express himself alike to all kinds and
conditions to men.
Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the
mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their
own cloth from cotton and eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers.
Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.
37796.The meaning of glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers is
pursuit of a commercialised material culture
replacement of rural by urban interests
complete removal of poverty
absence of violence and corruption
37797.The basis of an idyllic and rural paradise is
rapid industrialisation of villages
self sufficiency in food clothes and simplicity of the lifestyle
bringing to the villages the glittering prizes of the 20th century
supporting those holdings powerful political positions
37798.Which one of the following best illustrates the relationship between the phrases: (i) eschew the glittering prizes and (ii) idyllic and rural paradise?
unless you do (i), you cannot have (ii)
(i) and (ii) are identical in meaning
first of all you must have (ii) in order to do (i)
the meaning of (i) is directly opposite to (ii)
37799.Mahatma Gandhis views opposed industrialisation of villages because
it would help the poor and not the rich
it would take away the skill of the villagers
it would affect the culture of the Indians
it would undermine self-sufficiency and destroy the beauty of life of the villager
37800.Mahatma Gandhis dream of an idyllic and rural paradise was not shared by
those who did not believe in the industrialisation of the country
those who called him the Father of Nation
those who inherited political powers after independence
those who believed that villages should be self-sufficient in food and cloth
