@MohsinShah dear, you are doing a commendible job .We are seeing that how painstakingly you figure out thequestions by consulting from different sources.May Allah be with you always. [/quote] I would have loved to participate in your other threads of IR and EDS as well but as for yet I'm not prepared for those two subjects. English is easy ... Keep them coming .... I'm enjoying :) [COLOR=Red]Now, before coming to Dr Rana's latest post, below are a few solutions from my previous post that I feel lack in quality, I would be thankful if any respected member jumps in to help[/COLOR] [B]"3 - Expand the idea embodied in One of the following in about 200 words.[/B] [B]ii) “If winter comes, can spring be far behind”[/B] From the poem: "Ode to the West Wind" Poet: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822), British Last Island knows what Shelley meant by this :) [I](needs explanation of the verse )[/I] [B]iii) “Mankind is an abstraction, man is a reality”[/B] Maybe another quotation ...could not track the person [I](needs reference as well as explanation)[/I] [B]iv) “The Press and the Nation rise and fall together”[/B] [I](needs reference as well as explanation)[/I][B]"[/B] [B]Now coming to Dr.Rana's Latest post (Paper 1994)[/B] [quote=dr.atifrana] [B]Paper 1994 [/B]3.Expand the idea embodied in One of the following in about 200 words. 20 a. The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government. b. Art is long and time is fleeting. c. The better part of valour is discretion. d. Conscience is God’s presence in man. - e. Capital is only the fruit of labour, and could never have existed if labour had not first existed. [/quote] Just giving the reference, if the embodied idea is obvious [B]a. The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] George Washington (American commander in chief of the colonial armies in the American Revolution (1775-83) and subsequently 1st US President (1789-97) [B]b. Art is long and time is fleeting.[/B] [B]Context[/B]: [I]Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.[/I] [B]Reference: [/B]From the poem "A psalm of life" By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). [B]Explanation:[/B] "Art is long, and Time is fleeting." Art is endless, immortal; and, man's life in his mortal frame, is measured by a discreet marker, time. The poet then repeats his established theme that our life proceeds to the grave and beyond. [B]c. .The better part of valour is discretion[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Was first recorded in 1477. Charles Churchill put it in poetic form: "Even in a hero's heart, Discretion is the better part" ( The Ghost, 1762). Shakespeare also used a form of it: "The better part of valor is discretion" ( 1 Henry IV, 5:4). [B]Explanation:[/B] It is better to be prudent than merely courageous, as in I'm signing up for the easy course first; discretion is the better part of valor. This proverb, a synonym of look before you leap, [B]d. Conscience is God’s presence in man. Reference: [/B]Emanuel Swedenborg Swedish mystic & scientist (1688 - 1772) [B]Explanation: [/B]The sense of right and wrong in a human being is just as if God himself is is in his heart[B] e. Capital is only the fruit of labour, and could never have existed if labour had not first existed.[/B] [B]Context[/B]: [SIZE=2]Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration[/SIZE] [B]Reference:[/B] [I] Lincoln, Abraham. "Annual Address Before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September 30, 1859.[/I] [B]Explanation[/B]:This speech was on "free-labor vs slave-labor" as we know Lincoln was very active against slavery. The quotation itself is self explanatory I suppose. [quote=dr.atifrana] 5. Use any Five of the following pairs of words your own sentences to bring out the difference in their meaning:- 10 i.

[B]Origin:[/B] Scylla and Charybdis are two sea monsters of Greek mythology who were situated on opposite sides of the Strait of Messina between Sicily and Calabria, in Italy. In [I]The Odyssey[/I] by Homer, Odysseus was forced to choose which monster to confront while passing through the strait; he opted to pass by Scylla and lose only a few sailors, rather than risk the loss of his entire ship into the whirlpool (Charybdis).

In freedom lies the happiness of the individual. e. Children have no childhood in Pakistan. f. To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it. [/quote] [B]a. Conscience is the basis of justice. Reference: [/B]Conscience is the [B]chamber [/B]of justice. Oscar Wilde: [B]Explanation: [/B]I could not find the reference for the exact phrase i.e. with "basis". One meaning of the word "chamber" is "legislature". So I think in both the forms, the quotation means the same that the sense of right and wrong is at the very heart of justice and no just can be achieved without it [B] b. The Industrial Society has reached its logical end. Reference: [/B]Could not find [B]Explanation[/B]: It seems like a quotation by someone. I think it's pointing at the immense industrial development and the Industrial Revolution and means to say that there can be no further developments as far as the horizons are concerned. There are very less chances of another revolutionary change in this field. [I]This is my personal viewpoint, I may be wrong[/I] [B] c. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, has gone on too long in the world. Reference: [/B]"Eye for eye and tooth for tooth" is an English idiom which means every crime or injury should be punished or paid back. It is also a verse in the Old Testament "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." [I]Deuteronomy xix. 21. [/I] I could not find the reference for the exact phrase i.e. "Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, has gone on too long in the world."However, It seems like a quotation from someone [B]Explanation: [/B]It says that the idea of eye for eye and tooth for tooth has been prevalent in the world for too much of time now. The person does not seem to be happy with the idea and wants more peace. [B] d. In freedom lies the happiness of the individual. Reference: [/B][I]I could not find the exact reference to this one as well :( probably because I'm having a bad day today[/I] but one similar quotation appears in the[SIZE=2]"[/SIZE][SIZE=2]A Principle of The Traditional American Philosophy"[/SIZE][B]. [/B]In its chapter 8 "[SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]Life and the Pursuit of Happiness[/COLOR][/SIZE]", It says [SIZE=2]"Happiness" lies in freedom of opportunity of The Individual. [B]Explanation: [/B]Freedom makes you happy, now this freedom can be of many types (physical freedom, freedom of expression, freedom of religion etc.) A good choice for 250 words. [/SIZE][B] e. Children have no childhood in Pakistan. Reference: [/B]Unknown[B] Explanation: [/B]Debatable topic, One one side you can list many example of child abuse, bad treatment in juvenile jails, poor health and nutrition issues etc.(many facts can be quoted from Unicef reports etc.) and on the other side there are many examples of children having the best of their childhood.Pakistan is a society divided into obvious social classes so one such statement cannot be generalized over the whole population. [B] f. To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Quotation attributed to Gilbert K. Chesterton [I](1874-1936) [/I]English author, journalist, and artist [B]Explanation:[/B] Desire for money is termed as stupidity in this quote.Most of Gilbert's quotes are of the same kind i.e. containing a strong message but uttered at a lighter note e.g "[I]Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated[/I]";) [COLOR=Navy][B]Paper 1996[/B][/COLOR] [quote=dr.atifrana] Write a comprehensive note of approximately 250 words on ONE of the following subjects: (25) (a) Religion is the greatest benefactor of human race; (b) The devotional believers coin baseless stories about their gurus; (c) And when I love thee not chaos 13 come again; (d) Every system of government emerges from its economic system; (e) Cleanliness is next to Godliness. [/quote] [B](a) Religion is the greatest benefactor of human race; Reference: [/B]Unknown[B] Explanation: [/B]Self explanatory[B] (b) The devotional believers coin baseless stories about their gurus; Reference: [/B]Unknown[B] Explanation: [/B]Points at the devotional believers (i.e. believers of saints etc. who believe in them due to their devotion). The quote says that these believer attribute stories to their gurus or saints which are not based on truth. [B] (c) And when I love thee not chaos is come again; Context:[/B] Excellent wretch!

Well, Thanks for rewarding work with more work Dr. Rana ;)
Hope to see you back soon [B]Let's start off with 2000's Paper[/B] [B]3. Write a comprehensive note (250 –300 words) on ONE of the following subjects:[/B] (20) [B](a) Society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness (Thomas Pain).[/B] [B] Reference:[/B] The quote appears in Thomas Pain's book "Common Sense" in chapter II "Of the origin and design of government in general with concise remarks on the English constitution" I am giving below the context of this quote from the book, this will help you in understanding what Thomas meant by saying this. [B] Context:[/B] "Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our Positively by uniting our affections, the latter Negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries By A Government, which we might expect in a country Without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise." [B](b) We learn from history that we do not learn from history. (Hegel)[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Attributed to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel [B] Explanation:[/B] If viewed in the broader political context, this quote has a lot to say. Many examples can be stated of repeated blunders by tyrants to suppress their people etc. An good knowledge of historical events related to politics can be very helpful in discussing this ... I don't have that knowledge :pp [B](c) Liberty doesn’t work as well in practice as it does in speeches. (Will Rogers) Reference: [/B]Quote attributed to William Penn Adair “Will” Rogers (November 4, 1879 - August 15, 1935) was a Cherokee-American cowboy, comedian, humorist, social commentator, vaudeville performer and actor. He was the father of U.S. Congressman and WWII Veteran Will Rogers, Jr. · [B] Explanation: ([/B][B]By Zahra Naqvi at [/B][B][URL="http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/text-analysis-statistics/29647-expansion-ideas.html"]ESL[/URL]) [COLOR=Red]([/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red][I]I am pasting Zahra Naqvi's post at ESL as it was, so just take the basic idea from the below explanation and come up with your own version[/I][/COLOR][B][COLOR=Red])[/COLOR] [/B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]"The quotation by Will Rogers is self explanatory in nature. The meaning of liberty is freedom of opinion and actions. Liberty is the hot issue now a days but in depth not fruitful as such. Everyone struggling hard to keep his head above the water regardless of the mounting pulls of gravity towards a life with no choice. Liberty is a phenomenon overly exploited by media and NGO's but actually practiced rarely. The question of liberty arises when people have choices but here the scene is different. In a developing country like Pakistan "choice is an illusion but available to those who have power" Religious concept of Islam gives opportunity of freedom to everyone. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Actually practices speak differently, seminars are conducted and speeches are made for women liberty but of no use. Still our societal norms help to chain women by traditional practices, social pressures and educational ignorance. In the result women are at suffering side although fighting to gain liberty. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Liberty is a bewitching idea that creates a spell if speeches are being made but in routine life it is something that lost charm. It is different as relishing dream from brazen reality, shiny day from dark night and hot summer from cold winter. And the gap is created by the notion to talk more and work little. In the present era the example of Afghanistan destruction is proof of contradiction between said words and committed actions. US the most liberal state talks about absolute liberty but perform absolute autocracy. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]In conclusion, liberty is a shady tree conceptually but without roots practically.[/SIZE][/FONT]" [B] (d) Politics is strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. (Ambrose Pierce)[/B] [B] Reference:[/B] Ambrose Bierce, [I]The Devil's Dictionary[/I][I] US author & satirist (1842 - 1914)[/I] [B] Explanation:[/B] masquerading means to assume a disguise, so the quote refers politics as the conduct of public affairs for private advantage. Please note that this definition of politics is from Bierce's "The Devil Dictionary" in which he has shared his "cynical view"on almost anything. Many people may feel like agreeing with what Bierce says but still on he other hand there are many examples where political movements led by political leaders have earned freedom for many nations. It's a debateable topic. [B] 4. Correct the following sentences:[/B] (a) The lake freezed rapidly. (b) The firm was unwilling to forego its usual commission. (c) We watched the lambs gamble on the green. (d) He belonged to the gild of carpenters. (e) He hadn’t ought to have spoken. (f) Is this his half – brother? (g) Hay! Watch out for the car!

@Mohsin,
dear these sentences have already been done on the forum when U correct me regarding use of "RAPIDLY" and 'QUICKLY". U r doing great effort to solve the other parts of the paper, I do try but due to shortage of time I cant help it out. So just do one or two questions. Keep it up ur work.( Allah apko jaza dy ga).;) I am taking chance to solve following. I am confused about only one blank. So waiting for correction anxiously. Here is Passage, "morning, Paul! You look tired". "Yes I am. I had a late night last night. I’m not usually[B] a night owl[/B] but I [B]had a night out[/B] with some friends yesterday.

Thanks for the appreciation H.E and Ramsha
Well, first of all below is an explanation of two verses I got stuck at in the earlier posts. With thanks to Last Island :) =============================================================== [B]“If winter comes, can spring be far behind”[/B] Keats lines in "ode to Autumn" giving hope that nothing remains forever. Bad days are always followed by good times. [B]"And when I love thee not chaos is come again"[/B] Taken from Shakespeare's drama "Othello"; uttered by the main character Othello. When my love is for a moment suspended by suspicion, I have nothing in my mind but discord, tumult, perturbation and confusion. =============================================================== [quote=happy ending]i hate correct incorrect sentences , i have a feeling i m going to get 0 in this question lol .

[/LEFT] Here's the 2001's solution I have left questions 4 and 7 (Don't want this to be just a one man show) Improvements in other questions are also required because for some of the expressions I could not find the meaning anywhere this time [B]Corrections and Improvements would be highly appreciated[/B] [B]3. Write a comprehensive note (250 – 300) on ONE of the following subjects. (20) [/B] [B](a) Modern history registers so primary and rapid changes that it cannot repeat itself. Reference:[/B] Could not find [B]Explanation:[/B] The world is changing very fast. New socio-political developments are happening at such a speed that it is very unlikely for them to repeat (My own opinion). [B](b) “The golden rule is that there is no golden rule”. G. B. Shaw[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Quote attributed to George Bernard Shaw [B]Explanation:[/B] Shaw’s quote is probably relates to the actual golden rule considered by Christians. The Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a paraphrase of a line from Matthew 7:12 in the New Testament. [COLOR=Red](my own assertion maybe wrong)[/COLOR] G. K. Chesterton in his book “Heretics” says that “The saying that “The golden rule is that there is no golden rule” can indeed be simply answered by being turned around. That is there is no golden rule is itself a golden rule or rather it is much worse than a golden rule”. Chesterton accuses Shaw of occasionally using "false paradoxes," which sound clever but are simply lies. A true paradox is the Gospel's "He that shall lose his life, the same shall save it." A false paradox is Shaw's "The Golden Rule is that there is no Golden Rule." [B](c) Crisis tests the true mettle of man[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Could not find [B]Explanation:[/B] A man is true strength is exposed when he is under a crisis. True strength can be explained in detail i.e. mental strength, emotional strength etc. [B](d) It is excellent to have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannical to use it like a giant.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] William Shakespeare from "Measure for Measure," Act II, Scn. II [B]Explanation:[/B] it is very easy for the strong to become tyrannical. Strength without prudence and consideration may prove very dangerous. This idea is reflected in these words of Milton: “But what is strength without a double share of wisdom?” [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [LEFT][LEFT] [LEFT][LEFT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=Red][B]4.

[B]Paper 2004
[COLOR=Navy] I have left the voice and correction this time Don't really want to do something wrong repeatedly :dd Kindly take the pain to solve them for us and do take a look at the rest of the solution as well [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Navy] [B]Corrections are highly appreciated [/B][/COLOR] [B] 3. Write a comprehensive note (250-300 words) on ONE of the following: (20) [/B] [B]1. One may smile and smile, and be a villain.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] O most pernicious woman! O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain! My tables—meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain— At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark. [I]Hamlet Act 1, scene 5, 105–109 [/I] [I]William Shakespeare[/I] [B]Explanation:[/B] (from answers.yahoo.com) People who intend you harm often lie and pretend to be your friend. Hamlet is referring to Claudius when he says this. As you know, Claudius' first speech in the play has him pretending to be concerned for Hamlet's welfare and for the kingdom of Denmark when he really only cares for himself. He smiles and says all the right thing to people, but underneath it all, he is a villain because he's an adulterer and a murderer. The fact that he smiles and treats people well on the surface does not make him any less of a villain. [B]2. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.[I] from the Poem: “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” by Robert Herrick.[/I] [B]Explanation:[/B] He is advising people to take advantage of life while they are young: The literal "translation" is "gather ur rosebuds while you still can, time flies." It is saying is that you should enjoy life while you can. rosebuds are sweet and associated with pleasant things [B]3. No sensible man ever made an apology.[/B] [B]Reference: [/B] Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) American essayist, philosopher and poet [B]Explanation:[/B] Apologies only account for the evils that cannot be undone, so by saying this Emerson means that a sensible man is one who does not act like he has to be apologetic over it later. [B]4. Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.[/B] [B]Reference:[/B] William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Player King, in Hamlet, act 3, sc. 2, l. 213. [B]Explanation[/B]: (from clicknotes.com) 'their ends' are the issues or outcomes of our thoughts, and these, says the speaker, are not our own. The tragic world is a world of action, and action is the translation of thought into reality. We see men and women confidently attempting it. They strike into the existing order of things in pursuance of their ideas. But what they achieve is not what they intended; it is terribly unlike it. They understand nothing, we say to ourselves, of the world on which they operate. They fight blindly in the dark, and the power that works through them makes them the instrument of a design which is not theirs. They act freely, and yet their action binds them hand and foot. And it makes no difference whether they meant well or ill. No one could mean better than Brutus, but he contrives misery for his country and death for himself. No one could mean worse [B]4.

Explain the Following.
''Man is born free,yet everywhere he is in chains.'' ''A man in love is incomplete until he is married.Then he's finished.'' ''Experience is not what happens to you;it is what you do with what happens to you.'' ''The first sigh of love is the last of wisdom.'' ''It is not the years in your life,but the life in your years that counts.'' |
[B] [quote]''Man is born free,yet everywhere he is in chains.''[/quote] [/B]
[B]Reference:[/B] This is from Rousseau. It is the first line from the first chapter of his book, 'The Social Contract', [B]Explanation[/B] (from various sources) He attempts to lay out his views of governments and what makes them good or bad. "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a greater slave than they. To Rousseau, everyone was born independent and with unlimited opportunities. But also with unlimited risks. This, he thinks, is why people form societies... each person surrenders some freedom willingly in exchange for the greater safety provided, at least from their fellow-man, if not from nature. [B] [quote]''A man in love is incomplete until he is married.Then he's finished.''[/quote] Attributed to: [/B][I]Zsa Zsa Gabor[/I] (pronounced /ˈʒɑːʒɑː/; born February 6, 1917), Hungarian-born American actress [B] Other quotes from her [/B][LIST][*]"Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do."[*]"I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back."[*]"I'm a great housekeeper: I get divorced, I keep the house."[/LIST][B]Explanation[/B] I think now you understand what Zsa Zsa means ;)[B] [quote]''Experience is not what happens to you;it is what you do with what happens to you.''[/quote] [/B][B]Attributed to: [/B] Aldous Huxley (English Novelist and Critic, 1894-1963) [B]Explanation:[/B] I believe it is just about learning from the experience. It is a common case that people keep meeting certain pattern in their life and can not see the meaning behind. These patters are there for us to understand that they should be broken…SO we should learn from the experience, not just have an experience… [quote][B]''The first sigh of love is the last of wisdom.''[/B][/quote] [B]Attributed to:[/B] Antonie Brett (1717-1792) French Writer and Poet [B] Explanation [/B] I think this means that once you are in love, you're out of wisdom there are other versions of this quote as well, like "The first sign of love is the last of wisdom." * Please recheck at your own I'm not exactly sure about it's meaning [quote] [B][B]''It is not the years in your life,but the life in your years that counts.''[/B] [/B] [/quote] [B]Attributed to:[/B] Adlai E. Stevenson (American Politician. Governor of Illinois (1949-53) and Ambassador to the United Nations (1961-65). 1900-1965) [B] Explanation[/B] it's not how long you live but rather how much all those years were filled with life in them. Now here life can mean a lot of things (happiness, helping others, success, etc) Hope this helps :) |
