आकाश का साफा बाँधकर 
सूरज की चिलम खींचता 
बैठा है पहाड़ 
घुटनों पर पडी है नदी चादर सी 
पास ही दाहक रही है 
पलाश के जंगल की अंगीठी 
अन्धकार दूर पूर्व में 
सिमटा बैठा है भेड़ो के गल्ले सा 
चानक बोला मोर 
जैसे किसी ने आवाज दी 
अजी सुनते हो 
चिलम औंधी 
धुँआ उठा 
सूरज डूबा 
अन्धकार छा गया।

निर्देश: गद्यांश को पढ़कर निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में सबसे उचित विकल्प को चुनिए।
प्राचीन भारत में शिक्षा, ज्ञान प्राप्ति का सबसे बड़ा स्रोत माना जाता था। व्यक्ति के जीवन को सन्तुलित और श्रेष्ठ बनाने तथा एक नई दिशा प्रदान करने में शिक्षा का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान था। सामाजिक बुराइयों को उसकी जड़ों से निर्मूल करने और त्रुटिपूर्ण जीवन में सुधार करने के लिए शिक्षा की नितान्त आवश्यकता थी। यह एक ऐसी व्यवस्था थी, जिसके द्वारा सम्पूर्ण जीवन ही परिवर्तित किया जा सकता था। व्यक्ति को अपने व्यक्तित्व का विकास करने, वास्तविक ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने और अपनी समस्याओं को दूर करने के लिए शिक्षा पर निर्भर होना पड़ता था। आधुनिक युग की भाँति प्राचीन भारत में भी मनुष्य के चरित्र का उत्थान शिक्षा से ही सम्भव था। सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्वों को निष्ठापूर्वक वहन करना प्रत्येक मानव का परम उद्देश्य माना जाता है। इसके लिए भी शिक्षित होना नितान्त अनिवार्य है। जीवन की वास्तविकता को समझने में शिक्षा का उल्लेखनीय योगदान रहता है। भारतीय मनीषियों ने इस ओर अपना ध्यान केन्द्रित करके शिक्षा को समाज की आधारशिला के रूप में स्वीकार किया। विद्या का स्थान किसी भी वस्तु से बहुत ऊँचा बताया गया। प्रखर बुद्धि एवं सही विवेक के लिए शिक्षा की उपयोगिता को स्वीकार किया गया। यह माना गया कि शिक्षा ही मनुष्य की व्यावहारिक कर्तव्यों का पाठ पढ़ाने और सफल नागरिक बनाने में सक्षम है। इसके माध्यम से व्यक्ति का शारीरिक, मानसिक और आत्मिक अर्थात् सर्वांगीण विकास सम्भव है। शिक्षा ने ही प्राचीन संस्कृति को संरक्षण दिया और इसके प्रसार में मदद की। विद्या का आरम्भ ‘उपनयन संस्कार’ द्वारा होता था। उपनयन संस्कार के महत्त्व पर प्रकाश डालते हुए मनुस्मृति में उल्लेख मिलता है कि गर्भाधान संस्कार द्वारा तो व्यक्ति का शरीर उत्पन्न होता है पर उपनयन संस्कार द्वारा उसका आध्यात्मिक जन्म होता है। प्राचीन काल में बच्चों को शिक्षा प्राप्त करने के लिए आचार्य के पास भेजा जाता था। शतपथ ब्राह्मण के अनुसार, जो ब्रह्मचर्य ग्रहण करता है। वह लम्बी अवधि की यज्ञावधि ग्रहण करता है। छान्दोग्योपनिषद् में उल्लेख मिलता है कि आरुणि ने अपने पुत्र श्वेतकेतु को ब्रह्मचारी रूप से वेदाध्ययन के लिए गुरु के पास जाने को प्रेरित किया था। आचार्य के पास रहते हुए ब्रह्मचारी को तप और साधना का जीवन बिताते हुए विद्याध्ययन में तल्लीन रहना पड़ता था। इस अवस्था में बालक जो ज्ञानार्जन करता था उसका लाभ उसको जीवन भर  मिलता था। गुरु गृह में निवास करते हुए विद्यार्थी समाज के निकट सम्पर्क में आता था। गुरु के लिए समिधा, जल का लाना तथा गृह-कार्य करना उसका कर्त्तव्य माना जाता था। गृहस्थ धर्म की शिक्षा के साथ-साथ वह श्रम और सेवा का पाठ पढ़ता था। शिक्षा केवल सैद्धान्तिक और पुस्तकीय न होकर जीवन की वास्तविकताओं के निकट होती थी।

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate options:
A duty is an obligation. It is something we owe to others as social beings when we live together. We must let others live with us. My right of living implies my duty to my fellow beings to allow them the same conditions of life. In fact, rights and duties are correlated. What is a right in regard to one may be a duty in regard to others Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin. We should always observe from the standpoint of others. Moral duty is more effective than legal rights. A moral duty is that which is binding upon the people on moral grounds. It is my moral duty to help the poor because of being a member of the society.
I must try to create conditions that contribute to the welfare of humanity. Similarly, I owe a duty to my parents—to be obedient and respectful to them. This duty originates from the sense of responsibility which is directly related to our conscience. So, this is concerned with a moral duty which any person owes without a legal bondage.
A sense of duty is paramount for the proper development of civilization. Hypocrisy is quite reverse to the sense of duty. It involves wickedness, while duty involves sincerity and faithfulness.

Q. Which of the following statements is NOT correct according to the passage?

The digital revolution has indisputably reshaped our society, permeating virtually every facet of life. We live in a hyperconnected era, where the boundary between the real and virtual worlds is increasingly blurred. Though its benefits are myriad, it's worth pausing to consider the potential downsides of this digital immersion.
On the one hand, technology has democratized information, fostering global connectivity and accessibility. The internet, smartphones, and various digital platforms have empowered us with the ability to learn, communicate, and collaborate like never before. They have catapulted us into an era of unprecedented convenience and opportunity, where we can virtually traverse the globe with a simple click.
Yet, this digital immersion also comes with pitfalls. The unending influx of information can overwhelm our cognitive capabilities, leading to information overload. The constant bombardment of updates, notifications, and messages can disrupt our focus, leading to a condition known as "digital fatigue." Further, it's alarming to see the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and disinformation campaigns, which have severe consequences on our societal harmony.
The digital revolution is a double-edged sword. It grants us unparalleled access to knowledge, yet it can also breed distraction, misinformation, and anxiety. We need to strike a balance, leveraging the best of what technology offers while mitigating its downsides. As we continue to navigate this digital landscape, it's crucial to remember that technology is merely a tool—it's how we use it that ultimately defines its impact.

Q. How does the passage suggest we should view and use technology?

Directions: Read the given poem and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
As I Watch You Grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!
-KayTheese

When another old cave is discovered in the South France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals , such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside, Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Q. In the underlined expression 'hunting animals' the word 'hunting' is used as:

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
Once upon a time, there lived a sparrow in a tree. He was very happy to have a beautiful and comfortable nest of his own in the tree. The sparrow used to fly to far off places to pick at grains from so many fields, full of crops. At the Sun set, he would return to his perch. One day, the sparrow ate his fill, but could not return to his nest because of the heavy rains which continued for the whole night. The sparrow had to spend the whole night in a big banyan tree a little distance away from home.
The next morning, when the rain stopped and the sky became clear, the sparrow returned to his tree. He was astonished to find a rabbit occupying his beautiful and comfortable nest. The sparrow lost his temper and spoke to the rabbit, "It's my home you're sitting in. Please quit this place at once".
"Do not talk like a fool", replied the rabbit. "Trees, rivers and lakes do not belong to anyone. Places like these are yours only so long as you are living in. If someone else occupies it in your absence, it belongs to the new occupant. So, go away and do not disturb me anymore".
But, the sparrow was not satisfied with this illogical reply. He said, "Let's ask a person of wisdom and only then our case will be settled".
At a distance from the tree, there lived a wild cat. The cat, somehow, overheard the discussion that took place between the sparrow and the rabbit.
The cat immediately thought of a plan, took a holy dip in the river, and then sat like a priest and began chanting God's name in a loud tone. When the rabbit and the sparrow heard the cat chanting God's name, they approached him with a hope to get impartial justice and requested him to pass a judgement in the matter.
The cat became very happy to have both of them in front of him. He pretended to listen to their arguments. But, as soon as the right opportunity came, the cat pounced upon both of them and killed and ate them together with great relish. 
(from Panchtantra)

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Some words may be highlighted. Pay attention.
While the apprehension of losing job security is the most natural human tendency, there are some factors like technology that are beyond an individual's control. The sooner the employees embrace the truth, the easier it would be to convert it into an opportunity. This can be done by upgrading employee-skillset with the following skills for the requirement of future roles:
Leadership: The ability to lead the automation change will be a crucial skill in the organization. The leader will be also responsible for identifying the right talent in the machine age and engaging the workforce through human touch points.
Information Technology: Who can handle technology better than the technologists themselves? However, automation will force employees to hone their understanding of big data, machine learning, cloud computing, augmented reality, and mathematical and analytical skills. With the huge amount of data available, they should be able to apply it to present insight.
Management: The future workplaces will be a collaboration of machines/robots and humans. Hence, the managerial skills required to strike a balance between machines and human emotions, and making them work alongside will also come handy.
Soft Skills: Machines are after all machines. They may do work more quickly and efficiently, but they can't bring in 100 percent human touch and feel. There will be areas where people to people interaction, human relationships, and networking will still matter, hence soft skills such as communication, social and behavioural, cognitive and emotional intelligence would be expected from the employees.
It's about time that employees start reskilling/upgrading their skills and search for relevant programmes/courses in their organizations or outside. For example, IT major Capgemini is planning to train each of its one lakh employees in India in digital skills by 2018. Intel has launched 60 courses as a part of its 'AI Developer Education Programme' to train 15,000 Indian engineers, developers, scientists, and students.
It can't be denied that automation will impact the jobs considerably in India. However, developing people-centric skills and upgrading/reskilling for new roles could help employees tide over the automation wave.

Q. According to the passage, Intel has launched 60 courses as a part of its 'AI Developer Education Programme' to train how many engineers in India?
