Dr. Carver was an American Negro slave, who by dint of his ability
became a scientist and educator of world-wide fame. A national
monument has now been erected to honour him. This monument
has been built at his birth place in the United States of America.
Carver's life and achievements prove the American saying : "You
can't keep a great man down." From childhood he showed qualities
which gave promise of his genius. He would get up before sunrise
to study the wonders of nature before the break of dawn in the
east. His guardians wanted to educate him, but were too poor to
do so. So he left home. He was hardly ten when he began to work
at small jobs to earn a little money for his school expenses. He
continued to do so even when he was at college. Thus, he passed
his M.Sc. examination and became a professor. There he wrote
several books on science subjects. His chief desire was to do the
greatest good to the greatest number of people. He left all his life's
savings to found scholarships for research in Agricultural
Chemistry. He knew this research, was bound to benefit farmers
all over the world. Though world famous, he never felt proud of
his discoveries. "I discovered nothing," he once said, "I am God's
agent—the instrument through which he works."

DIRECTIONS  (Qs. 76-79) : Read the following passage and
answer the questions given after it.
Dr. Carver was an American Negro slave, who by dint of his ability
became a scientist and educator of world-wide fame. A national
monument has now been erected to honour him. This monument
has been built at his birth place in the United States of America.
Carver's life and achievements prove the American saying : "You
can't keep a great man down." From childhood he showed qualities
which gave promise of his genius. He would get up before sunrise
to study the wonders of nature before the break of dawn in the
east. His guardians wanted to educate him, but were too poor to
do so. So he left home. He was hardly ten when he began to work
at small jobs to earn a little money for his school expenses. He
continued to do so even when he was at college. Thus, he passed
his M.Sc. examination and became a professor. There he wrote
several books on science subjects. His chief desire was to do the
greatest good to the greatest number of people. He left all his life's
savings to found scholarships for research in Agricultural
Chemistry. He knew this research, was bound to benefit farmers
all over the world. Though world famous, he never felt proud of
his discoveries. "I discovered nothing," he once said, "I am God's
agent—the instrument through which he works."
