PASSAGE
Modern economics does not differentiate between renewable and non-renewable materials, as its method is to measure everything by means of a money price. Thus, taking various alternate fuels, like coal, oil, wood or water power, the only difference between them recognised by modern economics is relative cost per equivalent unit. The cheapest is automatically the one to be preferred, as to do otherwise would be irrational and uneconomic. From a Buddhist point of view, of course, this will not do; the essential difference between non-renewable fuels like coal and oil on the one hand and renewable fuels like wood and water-power on the other cannot be simply overlooked. Non-renewable goods must be used only if they are indispensable, and then only with the greatest care and the highest concern for conservation. To use them carelessly or extravagantly is an act of violence, and while complete non-violence may not be possible on this earth, it is nonetheless the duty of man to aim the ideal of non-violence in all he does.
Q.1 TheBuddhist economist’s attitude implies that fuels like coal and oil must be used only if
(1) there is a plentiful supply.
(2) wood and water-power can be dispensed with.

Direction (Q.4 — 6): Read the following passage and answer these questions:
PASSAGE
Science engenders hope in the future of human achievement. In the study of Literature and Art, on the other hand, our attention is perpetually riveted upon the past; the men of Greece or the Renaissance did better than any men do now; the triumphs of former ages, so far from facilitating fresh triumphs in our m%g,i?t?w?fr?g@the diffichF?é?%%?&W“ rendering originality harder of attainment. Not only is artistic achievement not cumulative, but it seems even to depend upon a certain freshness and ‘naiveté of impulse’ and vision which civilisation tends to destroy. Hence comes to those who have been nourished on the literary and artistic production of former ages, a certain peevishness and undue fastidiousness towards the present, from which there seems no escape into the deliberate vandalism which ignores tradition and in the search after originality achieves only the eccentric. But in such vandalism there is none of the simplicity and spontaneity out of which great art springs; theory is still the canker in its core, and insincerity destroys the advantages of a merely pretended ignorance.
