SECTION-B
2. Draft a pr?cis of the following passage. Suggest a suitable title :
We all know what we mean by a ?good? man. The ideally good man does not drink or
smoke, avoids bad language, converses in the presence of men only exactly as he would
if there were ladies present, attends church regularly and holds the correct opinion on all
subjects. He has a wholesome horror of wrong-doing and realizes that it is our painful
duty to castigate sin. He has a still greater horror of wrong thinking, and considers it the
business of the authorities to safeguard the young against those who question the wisdom
of the views generally accepted by middle-aged successful citizens. Apart from his
professional duties, at which he is assiduous, he spends much time in good works: he
may encourage patriotism and military training; he may promote industry, sobriety and
virtue among wage earners and their children by seeing to it that failures in these respects
receive due punishment; he may be a trustee of a university and prevent an ill-judged
respect for learning from allowing the employment of professors with subversive ideas.
Above all, of course, his ?morals? in the narrow sense must be irreproachable.

8. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
Delhi?s odd-even plan for private cars has a measure of public support because it offers
everyone a shot at responsible citizenship, but it is unlikely to alleviate Delhi?s poor air
quality. Upgrading fuel, keeping out trucks that transit through Delhi and ending the
practice of burning crop residue in neighbouring areas will do more to check pollution
than restricting the use of private cars. Delhi has so many private cars because a
functional, predictable, integrated public transport system with efficient last mile
connectivity is absent. If cars are disallowed while an expanded public transport is still
not available, three-wheelers and cabs will ply all the more. Proper schedules for buses
and metros that are displayed at bus stops and metro stations, and ensuring these are
adhered to would make it possible for people to plan their trips. Every bus can be fitted
with GPS and speed governors and its movement tracked, to make sure they neither race
nor dawdle and stick to their schedule. Bus routes can be rationalised to ensure that bus
services are not concentrated in certain areas. Seamless connectivity with the metro and
circular rail network must be ensured. Instead of having differently priced buses, have a
single class of buses and allow integrated, cardbased payments for all modes of transport
in the city. Driving restrictions is not the silver bullet for reducing either traffic
congestion or air pollution. If government is serious about addressing these then it must
put forward a comprehensive transportation policy that uses technology and deft planning
to deliver an improved bus system, integrated with the existing circular rail network and
an expanding metro system, backed up by a feeder system integrating the different forms
of public transport.
Questions :
a) According to the passage, what can reduce the pollution of Delhi?
b) What will be the suitable title of the above passage?
c) What is reason behind traffic congestion in Delhi?
d) According to the author, why there are many private vehicles in Delhi?
e) Before implementing odd-even plan what should have been done for transportation of
Delhi?
9. Write an application for a job. Also draft your CV to be attached with the application.
