Read the comprehension given below and answer the following questions:
In recent decades, technological advancement has transformed nearly every aspect of
human life. From communication to healthcare, the benefits have been undeniable.
However, this rapid progress has also brought with it a range of ethical and social challenges.
For instance, excessive dependence on digital devices has led to reduced human interaction
and increased mental health concerns. Moreover, issues such as data privacy and
surveillance have raised serious questions about individual freedom. While technology has
the potential to bridge gaps and create opportunities, it also risks deepening inequalities
when access is uneven. Therefore, the real challenge before modern society is not merely to
innovate but to ensure that such innovation is inclusive, ethical, and sustainable. Ultimately,
technology must remain a tool that serves humanity rather than a force that dictates human
behavior.
Q1. The central idea of the passage is:
(a) Technology is harmful to society
(b) Innovation should be stopped
(c) Technology must be ethically regulated
(d) Human interaction is disappearing completely
Q2. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude?
(a) Completely pessimistic
(b) Blindly optimistic
(c) Balanced and analytical
(d) Indifferent
Read the comprehension given below and answer the following questions:
Discipline is often perceived as a rigid framework that limits personal freedom. However,
such a perception overlooks its deeper significance in shaping character and enabling
achievement. Individuals who cultivate discipline are better equipped to manage their time,
focus on their goals, and overcome obstacles. In contrast, a lack of discipline often results in
inconsistency and missed opportunities. It is important to note that discipline is not imposed
externally but must be developed internally through conscious effort. Furthermore,
discipline does not eliminate freedom; rather, it provides the structure within which true
freedom can be exercised meaningfully. For instance, an athlete follows strict training
routines not as a burden but as a means to achieve excellence. Thus, discipline should be
viewed not as a constraint but as a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.
Q3. According to the passage, discipline:
(a) Restricts individual freedom
(b) Is imposed by external authorities
(c) Enables effective use of freedom
(d) Is unnecessary for success
Q4. What is the main argument of the passage?
(a) Discipline is outdated
(b) Freedom is more important than discipline
(c) Discipline is essential for growth
(d) Athletes are highly disciplined
Read the comprehension given below and answer the following questions:
Environmental degradation has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have placed immense pressure
on natural resources. Forests are being depleted, air and water are increasingly polluted, and
biodiversity is under severe threat. While governments across the world have introduced
policies aimed at environmental protection, their implementation often falls short due to
lack of awareness and political will. Additionally, individual actions play a crucial role in
either aggravating or alleviating environmental problems. Simple practices such as reducing
waste, conserving water, and using sustainable resources can collectively make a significant
difference. It is therefore essential to recognize that environmental conservation is not solely
the responsibility of governments but a shared duty of all citizens. Only through coordinated
efforts can a sustainable future be ensured.
Q5. The passage emphasizes that environmental protection:
(a) Is only the responsibility of governments
(b) Requires both government and individual efforts
(c) Cannot be achieved
(d) Is not an urgent issue
Q6. Which of the following is a cause of environmental degradation mentioned in the
passage?
(a) Cultural traditions
(b) Technological stagnation
(c) Industrialization and population growth
(d) Lack of education only
Read the comprehension given below and answer the following questions:
Education is widely regarded as the cornerstone of a progressive society. It not only imparts
knowledge but also shapes values, attitudes, and critical thinking abilities. In the modern
era, the role of education has expanded beyond traditional classroom learning to include
digital literacy and skill development. However, disparities in access to quality education
continue to persist, particularly in developing regions. Economic constraints, inadequate
infrastructure, and social barriers often prevent many individuals from realizing their
educational potential. Furthermore, an overemphasis on rote learning rather than
conceptual understanding undermines the true purpose of education. To address these
challenges, it is necessary to adopt inclusive and innovative approaches that prioritize both
access and quality. Education must empower individuals to think independently and
contribute meaningfully to society.
Q7. The passage suggests that education should:
(a) Focus only on traditional learning
(b) Promote rote memorization
(c) Be inclusive and concept-based
(d) Be limited to urban areas
Q8. What is a major issue highlighted in the passage?
(a) Lack of teachers
(b) Overuse of technology
(c) Inequality in access to education
(d) Decline in student interest
