Answer all questions.
1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:- 10
"The new dangers resulting from our more organic society call for certain changes in the kind of character that is admired. The bold buccaneer, or the great conqueror such as Alexander or Napoleon, has been admired and is still admired although the world can no longer afford this type of character. We come here upon a diffidently. It is a good thing that people should be adventurous and that there should be scope for individual enterprise, but the adventure and enterprise, if they are not to bring total disaster, must steer clear of certain fields in which they were formally possible. You can still, without harm to your fellowmen wish to be the first man to reach the moon. You may wish to be a great poet or a great composer or a man who advances the boundaries of scientific knowledge. Such adventure injures no one.
But if Napoleon is your ideal, you must be restrained. Certain kind of__self assertion which
are splendid in the literature or tragedy, have come to involve too much risk. A motorist alone on an empty road my drive as he pleases, but in crowded traffic he must obey the rules. More and more the lives of the individuals come to resemble the motorist in traffic rather than the lonely driver in an empty desert."
(Bertrand Russell)
