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.

Option 1: Ten
Option 2: Fifteen
Option 3: Three
Option 4: Twelve

The President of India is empowered to nominate twelve members to the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) who have special knowledge or practical experience in literature, science, art, and social service.

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.

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.

what can we do if we become a literature secretary?
Hello aspirant,
Writing speeches for the President, General Secretary, Sports, and Cultural Secretaries is only one aspect of a literary secretary's duties. The Lit Sec is regarded as having above-average grasp of the English language, vocabulary, and literature. They are also good writers and readers. The post, in my opinion, has the potential to be one of the committee's most influential roles if handled properly.
Thank you
