Directions (71-80): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are 
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. 
Once upon a time in a village, there lived six blind men. In spite of their blindness, they had managed to educate themselves. 
Seeking to expand their knowledge, they decided to visit a zoo and try out their skills in recognising animals by their touch. 
The first animal they came across, as soon as they entered the zoo, was an elephant. 
As the first man approached the elephant, the elephant waved its trunk, and the man felt something brush past him. Managing 
to hold on to it, he felt it, and found something long and moving. He jumped back in alarm, shouting "Move away! This is a 
snake!" Meanwhile, the second man had moved closer, and walked right near its legs. As the man touched the thick, 
cylindrical-shaped legs, he called out "Do not worry. These are just four trees here. There is certainly no snake!" The third man 
was curious hearing the other two, and moved forward. As he walked towards the elephant, he felt his hand touch one of the 
tusks. Feeling the smooth, sharp ivory tusk, the man cried out "Be careful! There is a sharp spear here." The fourth man 
cautiously walked up behind the elephant, and felt its swinging tail. "It's just a rope! There is nothing to be afraid off," he said. 
The fifth man had meanwhile reached out and was touching the huge ears of the animal. "I think all of you have lost your sense 
of touch!" he said. "This is nothing but a huge fan!" The sixth did not want to be left out. As he walked towards the elephant, he 
bumped into its massive body, and he exclaimed! This is just a huge mud wall! There is no animal at all!" six of them were 
convinced that they were right, and began arguing amongst themselves.
