a. the writer deals with the technical education that is required for artisans like shorthand etc
b. he favored classical school of thought and confess through the notion of "useless education" and by making satire
c. he expressed his feelings by making pungent satire by saying that for business community, languages, science everything is just source of their profit making not any type of contribution or exploration at all
d. the last sentences could be regarded as the theme-line. while viewing paragraph, one can see the nature/selfish nature of soul of man and that is the essence of a particular civilization, which is almost arrogant. it gives the true picture of that era.
e. industrials mean the business community who largly or inherently belong to trade
useless education means that individuals other than industrials, whom education gave nothing
patently useful means the extreme use of something for industrials
prospective clerks means the artisans/clerks whose promotion benefited them
limited use of progress/education
combination of two/more names/things etc
unintelligent/folish debate

plzzz do coment n point out mistakes..... thanku

Q.1 The fear is more or less the same. Both children and human beings have heard stories about ghosts and deaths.

Q.2 Believing in the fact that death isn't the end of a one's life and soul and that this an entry to a new world where one has to justify his/her deeds is the religious and sacred view of death.

Q.3 Monks perceive death as an ultimate path of physical torture which shall free them from all their sins.

Q.4. Seneca thinks that the ceremonies and various rituals performed by people at deaths make it far more horrible than its reality.

Q.5 The groans uttered by the dyeing man, his horrible facial expressions, body being tortured and the rituals performed at his death by his friends and family members make death even more terrifying and horrible.

Default Q. 1

The fear of darkness of children multiplied by the stories of the heard ghosts and thieves. whereas the fear of human being is doubled by the stories which they listen about the suffering of dying man

FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION FOR
RECRUITMENT TO POSTS IN BPS-17 UNDER
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, 2013

ENGLISH (Précis and Composition)




Q.3 Read the following passage and answer the question that follow. Use your own language.(20)

The civilization of China, as everyone knows, is based upon the teaching of Confucius, who flourished five hundred years before Christ. Like the Greeks and Romans, he did not think of human society as naturally progressive; on the contrary, he believed that in remote antiquity rulers had been wise, and the people had been happy to a degree which the degenerate present could admire but hardly achieve. This, of course, was a delusion. But the practical result was that Confucius, like other teachers of antiquity, aimed at creating a stable society, maintaining a certain level of excellence, but not always striving after new successes. In this he was more successful than any other men who ever lived. His personality has been stamped on Chinese civilization from his day to our own. During his lifetime the Chinese occupied only a small part of present-day China, and were divided into a number of warring states. During the next three hundred years they established themselves throughout what is now China proper, and founded an empire exceeding in territory and population any other that existed until the last fifty years. In spite of barbarian invasions, Mongol and Manchu dynasties, and occasional longer or shorter periods of chaos and civil war, the Confucian system survived, bringing with it art and literature and a civilized way of life. A system which has had this extra ordinary power of survival must have great merits, and certainly deserves our respect and consideration. It is not a religion, as we understand the word,because it is not associated with the supernatural or with mystical beliefs. It is a purely ethical system, but its ethics, unlike those of Christianity, are not too exalted for ordinary men to practice. In essence, what Confucius teaches is something very like the old-fashioned ideal of a ‘gentleman’ as it existed in the eighteenth century. One of his sayings will illustrate this: 'The true gentleman is never contentious ... he courteously salutes his opponents before taking up his position ... so that even when competing he remains a true gentleman'.

Questions:
  • Why do you think the author calls Confucius' belief about the progress of human society as a delusion?
  • How did Confucius' though affect China to develop into a stable and 'Proper' China?
  • Why does the author think that Confucian system deserves respect and admiration?
  • Why does the author call Confucian system a purely ethical system and not a religion?
  • Briefly argue whether you agree or disagree to Confucius' ideal of a gentleman?
