To those who do listen, the desert speaks of things with an emphasis quite different from that of the shore, the mountain, the valley or the plains. Whereas these invite action and suggest limitless opportunity and exhaustless resources, the implications and the mood of the desert are something different. For one thing, the desert is conservative, not radical. It is more likely to provide awe than to invite conquest. The heroism which it encourages is the heroism of endurance, not that of conquest. It induces contemplation in men who have never contemplated before. And of all the answers to the question what is a desert good for 'contemplation' is perhaps the best. The writer calls the desert 'conservative' rather than 'radical' because it provides an environment that
a. inspires man to explore it
b. offers unlimited opportunity to conquer
c. tests one's endurance
d. makes one gloomy

114. Read the passage and answer the question
It is not luck but labour that makes man. Luck, says an America writer, is ever waiting for something to turn up: labour with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy: labour turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labour watches. Luck relies on chance, labour on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labour strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore, is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things. Which one of the following words in the passage indicate that the writer does not ultimately reject the element of luck?
a. 'Luck ...... is ever waiting'.
b. 'Luck whines'
c. 'Diligence is the mother of good luck'
d. 'Luck .....wishes the postman would bring him news.'

The greatest enemy of mankind, as people have discovered, is not science but war. Science merely reflects the prevailing social forces. It is found that, when there is peace, science is constructive; when there is war, science is perverted to destructive ends. The weapons which science gives us do not necessarily cause war; they make war increasingly terrible. Till now it has brought us to the door step of doom. Our main problem, therefore, is not to curb science, but to stop war - to substitute law for force, and international government for anarchy in the relations of one nation with another. That is a job in which everybody must participate, including the scientists. According to the writer, the real enemy of mankind is not science but war, because

Bansilals train was late and it reached Bombay a little after midnight. It was his first visit to the city and he did not know where to go. He thought he would go to a choultry where he would not have to pay rent, but he did not know how to find one at that hour. He asked a porter to get him a cheap room. The porter asked him for three rupees to take him to one. But Bansilal waved him away and walked out of the station. He wandered through the streets and asked a number of people, but could not find a room cheap enough for him. He sat down on a park bench to think of what he should do next. He was very tired and fell asleep on the bench. He woke up the next morning, stiff in every limb: but he smiled when realized that it was his cheapest nights lodging that he had ever had.
