Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
'What's your name, boy?' said the gentleman in the high chair. Oliver was frightened at the sight of so many gentlemen, which made him tremble and speak in a very low and hesitating voice.
'Listen to me. You know you're an orphan, I suppose? And that you were brought up by the parish, don't you?'
'Yes, sir,' replied Oliver, weeping bitterly.
'I hope you say your prayers every night,' said another gentleman in a gruff voice, 'and pray for the people who feed you, and take care of you'.
'Yes, sir,' stammered the boy.
'Well! You have come here to be educated, and taught a useful trade,' said the red-faced gentleman in the high chair.

Poor Oliver! He little thought, as he lay sleeping, happily unconscious of things around him, that the board had that very day arrived at a decision which would exercise the most material influence over all his future fortunes.

But they had. They believed the workhouse was a regular place of public entertainment for the poorer classes; a tavern where there was nothing to pay; a public breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper all the year round; a brick and mortar place, where it was all play and no work. 'Oho!' said the board, looking very knowing; 'we are the fellows to set this to rights; we'll stop it all, in no time.'

So, they established the rule, that all poor people should be starved by a gradual process in the house. The water-works were asked to lay on an unlimited supply of water; a corn-factory asked to supply small quantities of oatmeal; and it was decided to issue three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week, and half a roll of bread on Sundays.

What was Oliver's situation?

Option 1: He had no family and was living in a home for orphans

Option 2: His education would prepare him for the future

Option 3: He was enjoying a stay at a workhouse

Option 4: He was fortunate to be provided with good meals

Question : As a Morally and physically weak Roman empire crumbled, Morally and physically strong teutonic barbarians overran the lends that once were pride of the Latins. The visigoths overran Spain, And vandals overran North Africa. The Francs overran Gaul, the angels and saxons overran Britain and the ostrogroths overran Italy. These invasions brought about the lowest ebb in literature and learning known to history.

Out of pagan and immoral Rome, Christianity and asceticism grew and thrived, certain individuals became incensed with immorality and Worldliness that existed in Roman society. They would not worship the Roman gods attend the bath or visit the games. They thought that all sorts of physical activity were foolish pursuits in that they designed to improve the body. They preached that the body and mind were distinct and separate entities in man and one had no bearing on the other. The Christian imperial theodosius abolished the Olympic games A.D.394 as being pagan.

Christianity believed that evil exists in the body, therefore, it should be subordinated to the spirit, which is pure. The body is possessed of the devil and should be tortured. Sach practices led to poor health and shattered nervous system on the part of many. As Christianity spread monasteries were built where Christians could isolate themselves from the world and its evils. Later schools were attached to these monasteries but early Christianity would not allow physical education to become a part of the curriculum. The medieval University also frowned physical education.

Another influence that has had a major impact on the history of physical education is scholasticism-the belief that facts are the most essential items is one's education. The key to a successful life is knowing the facts and developing one's mental and intellectual powers. Scholasticism the emphasized the physical as an unimportant and unnecessary. The moment developed among the scholarship and the universities of the medieval ages.

Option 1: Romans

Option 2: Greeks

Option 3: Christians

Option 4: Latins

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in 'The Republic' (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music, and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not distributed genetically and thus can be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.

Aristotle considered human nature, habit, and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.

Question:
Which of these methods is NOT advocated in 'The Republic'?

Option 1: Differentiating children based on castes

Option 2: Imparting similar education to all children

Option 3: Bringing up children under state guardianship

Option 4: Keeping children away from mothers
