  DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows: PASSAGE - 5 Early religion of the Aryans was very simple?both to understand and to practice. But gradually, it became quite complex. The inherent truth vanished, giving place to empty rituals in place of the purity of heart and conduct. Religious practices had become not only complex but also very costly. The introduction of animal sacrifice in the yajnas further alienated the people. They craved for a simple religion devoid of high expenses and animal sacrifice. Not only this, the early Vedic religion lost its purity and simplicity and common people began to believe in charms, spells and magic. People lost faith in such a religion and yearned for a simple religion. Sanskrit, the language of the Vedic texts, was now no longer within the comprehension of the common people. Hence a revolt was simmering against the use of Sanskrit and for the adoption of simple language. The simple Varna system had degenerated into a rigid caste system. The high caste Hindus developed hatred for the low caste people, most of whom were branded as Shudras or untouchables who were subjected to abject humiliation, suffering and misery. They were even not allowed to draw water from the public wells or to visit temples. It was during this period of religious degeneration and social persecution of the common people, that two great teachers, Mahavira Vardhamana and Gautama, the Buddha, preached them the path of love, kindness and piety. They denounced the rigidity of the caste system and condemned the practice of untouchability. In which language, the Vedic texts were written?

  DIRECTION: Read the following passages below and choose the correct answers from the options. PASSAGE - 4 There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous. Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
