The Hope we still have.

2 & 4 number corrections that u made under this heading:
"Correct the sentence"

2) If he were here(were is used to show the wish of his presence as he is not here)...remaining is the as you have done.
We often use "were" instead of was after "if".This is conditional and is used in in both formal and informal style.
The grammatical use for this use of "were" is known as "Subjunctive".
•If your nose were a little smaller,you would be quite pretty.

It is also used to give somebody advice.
•If I were you I would accept his offer.(agar me tumhari jaga hota....)

4)No need to replace "prefer" with like.The error is only the absence of possessive case with help of apostrophe.
Make it as Shakespear's King Lear(King Lear written by Shakespear) and the rest of sentence is correct itself.

Hope you got it...

Q.2. Make the precis of the following passage and suggest a suitable heading. (20+2=22)

Culture, in human societies, has two main aspects; an external, formal aspect and an inner, ideological aspect. The external forms of culture, social or artistic, are merely an organized expression of its inner ideological aspect, and both are an inherent component of a given social structure. They are changed and modified when this structure is changed or modified and because of this organic link they also help and influence such changes in their parent organism. Cultural Problems, therefore, cannot be studied or understood or solved in isolation from social problems, i.e. problems of political and economic relationships. The cultural problems of the underdeveloped countries, therefore, have to be understood and solved in the light of larger perspective, in the context of underlying social problems. Very broadly speaking, these problems are primarily the problems of arrested growth (stopped development); they originate primarily from long years of imperialist-Colonialist domination and the remnants of a backward outmoded (old-fashioned) social structure. This should not require much elaboration that European Imperialism caught up with the countries of Asia, Africa or Latin America between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some of them were fairly developed feudal societies with ancient traditions of advanced feudal culture. Others had yet to progress beyond primitive pastoral tribalism. Social and cultural development of them all was frozen at the point of their political subjugation and remained frozen until the coming of political independence. The culture of these ancient feudal societies, in spite of much technical and intellectual excellence, was restricted to a small privileged class and rarely intermingled with the parallel unsophisticated folk culture of the general masses. Primitive tribal culture, in spite of its child like beauty, had little intellectual content. Both feudal and tribal societies living contagiously () in the same homelands were constantly engaged in tribal, racial and religious or other feuds (hostility) with their tribal and feudal rivals. Colonialist – imperialist domination accentuated this dual fragmentation, the vertical division among different tribal and national groups, the horizontal division among different classes within the same tribal or national groups. This is the basic ground structure, social and cultural, bequeathed to the newly liberated countries by their former over lords.
Precis:
Culture or civilization of a society has two faces, external and internal which are interrelated. They are dependent uon the social set-up, therefore cultural and social issues cannot be separated, particularly in developing countries. The major problem is that of lower speed progress that basically, is caused by colonialism and its influences.The major imperialists of past few centuries were European and the imperialized were Asian and Africans.Most of these societies used to be dominated by fueadal system and rest even below it.This domination of foreign people caused the death of all systems i.e political and social..This system had two faces, the brighter one for the favored class and vise versa. The rivalary among tribes and clans was prevailing issue of these socities. Colonialism seemed to be responsible for The class difference in all perspectives. These were the assets that colonialist left nehind for colonials.
