Default One Thread: All Compulsories

As CSS, PMS and other competitive examinations have become more analytical and instead of bookish questions, general type questions are being asked because of changing scenario of the world. Therefore it is not possible to just depend upon books/guides/syllabus etc. What I observed is to bring your mental level to that standard that you become capable to deal any kind of unseen questions, tasks and responsibilities which are required in a CSP. Therefore I have started this thread, where instead of searching ere ad there we will find solution of all compulsory subjects on one platform. Here we’ll discuss the questions and will produce their complete answers so that ideas and creativities of different minds may be shared. I am initiating by giving some questions which are mostly chosen from CSS 2009/10 question papers and will give their answers myself as well and hope that all of you will participate not only to comment and criticize but also to give your answers in your style as well to make this thread fruitful for our preparation of CSS 2011, PMS, AD-ISI ad other competitive exams. I hope this thread will be ore useful for those who have less time for preparation in their daily routine because of their jobs, business, college studies etc.

Q-2: Make a précis of the given passage and suggest a suitable heading.
From Plato to Tolstoi art has been accused of exciting our emotions and thus of disturbing the order and harmony of our moral life.” Poetical imagination, according to Plato, waters our experience of lust and anger, of desire and pain, and makes them grow when they ought to starve with drought. “Tolstoi sees in art a source of infection. “Not only in infection,” he says, “a sign of art , but the degree of infectiousness is also the sole measure of excellence in art.” But the flaw in this theory is obvious. Tolstoi suppresses a fundamental moment of art, the moment of form. The aesthetic experience – the experience of contemplation- is a different state of mind from the coolness of our theoretical and the sobriety of our moral judgment. It is filled with the liveliest energies of passion, but passion itself is here transformed both in its nature and in its meaning. Wordsworth defines poetry as “ emotion recollected in tranquility’. But the tranquility we feel in great poetry is not that of recollection. The emotions aroused by the poet do not belong to a remote past. They are “ here”- alive and immediate. We are aware of their full strength, but this strength tends in a new direction. It is rather seen than immediately felt. Our passions are no longer dark and impenetrable powers; they become, as it were, transparent. Shakespeare never gives us an aesthetic theory. He does not speculate about the nature of art. Yet in the only passage in which he speaks of the character and functions of dramatic art the whole stress is laid upon this point. “ The purpose of playing,” as Hamlet explains, “ both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as, twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time, his form and pressure.” But the image of the passion is not the passion itself. The poet who represents a passion doest not infected us with this passion. At a Shakespeare play we are not infected with the ambition of Macbeth, with the cruelty of Richard III or with the jealously of Othello. We are not at the mercy of these emotions; we look through them; we seem to penetrate into their very nature and essence. In this respect Shakespeare’s theory of dramatic art, if he had such a theory, is in complete agreement with the conception of the fine arts of the great painters and sculptors.
