Literature and history are twin sisters, inseparable. In the days of our own grandfathers, and for many generations before them, the basis of education was the Greek and Roman classics for the educated, and the Bible for all. In the classical authors and in the Bible, history and literature were closely intervolved, and it is that circumstance which made the old form of education so stimulating to the thought and imagination of our ancestors. To read the classical authors and to read the Bible was to read at once the history and the literature of the three greatest races of the ancient world. No doubt the classics and the Bible were read in a manner we now consider uncritical but they were read according to the best tenets of the time and formed a great humanistic education. Today the study both of the classics and of the Bible has dwindled to small proportions. What has taken their place? To some extent the vacuum has been filled by a more correct knowledge of history and a wider range of literature. But I fear that the greater part of it has been filled up with rubbish.
Q11. Which of the following statements best reflects the underlying tone of the passage?
Literature and history are mutually exclusive
Literature and history are complementary to each other
The study of literature is meaningless without any knowledge of history
Literature and history are inseparably linked together in the classics and the Bible
Q12. The author of the above passage says that in the past the basis of education for all people, irrespective of their intellectual calibre, was
Greek and Roman classics
The Bible
A correct knowledge of history
A wider range of literature
Q13. The author of the above passage says that the classics and the Bible were read by his ancestors
methodically and with discretion
in a manner that broadened their view of life
with great emphasis on their literary values
without critical discrimination but in the light of their humanistic culture
Q14. According to the author of the above passage, the old form of education, based on the study of the classics and of the Bible, has
succeeded in creating interest in history
laid the basis of human civilization
had a gradual decline in our time
been rejuvenated in the context of modern education
Q15. The author of the above passage fears that the greater part of the vacuum created by lack of interest in the classics and the Bible had been filled up by
a richer sense of history
a wider range of literature
worthless ideas
a new philosophy of life
