Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Political and technological developments are rapidly obliterating all cultural differences and it is possible that, in a not remote future, it will be impossible, to distinguish human beings living on one area of the earth surface from those living on any other. The most sriking difference between an American and a European is the difference in their attitudes towards money. Every European knows that, in Europe, wealth could only be acquired at the expense of other human beings, either by conquering them or by exploiting their labor in factories. Even after the Industrial Revolution began, the number granted that they would not be much richer or poorer than their fathers. In consequence, no European associates wealth with personal merit or poverty with personal failure.
In the United States, wealth was also acquired by staling, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her resources which were ruthlessly plundered. Thanks to the natural resource of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money his father, so that if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as a proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes.
97. In taking it for granted that they would not be much richer or poorer than their fathers, Europeans do which of the following?
(a) They express a preference
(b) They refute an argument
(c) They make an assumption
(d) They correct a misaspersion
Ans. c
98. In the first paragraph of the passage, the author asserts that technological advances -
(a) Are likely to promote greater divisions between the rich and the poor
(b) May eventually to worldwide cultural uniformity
(c) Can enable us to tolerate any cultural differences between fellow human beings.
(d) May make the distinctions between people increasingly easy to discern
Ans. b
99. To Americans, the failure to surpass one’s father in income indicates -
(a) A dislike of inherited wealth
(b) A lack of proper application on one’s part
(c) The effects of a guilty conscience
(d) A fear of the burden inherent in success
Ans. b
