Between them, they have ensured that one shall work at anything worthwhile. They are blind forces which drive but do not direct. Fortunately, I have also been moved by a third motive- the wish to see and understand. Curiosity is another motive for action. It is also one of the distinctive characteristics of human nature and contrasted with the natures of nonhuman animals. All human beings have curiosity in some degree. We also have it about things which are of no practical use. Curiosity may be focused on anything in the universe, but the spiritual reality of the phenomena should be the ultimate objective of all curiosity for it to be fruitful. Thanks to my mother my approach to this ultimate objective of all curiosity is fruitful. My approach to this ultimate objective is through the story of human affairs. What is the main objective of this passage?

question_answer11) Both plants and animals of many sorts show remarkable changes in form, structure, growth habits and even mode of reproduction in becoming adapted to different climatic environment, types of food supply or mode of living. This divergence in response to evolution is commonly expressed by altering the form and function of some part or parts of the organism, the original identity of which is clearly visible. For example, in marine pteropods the creeping foot of the snail is modified into flapping organs useful for swimming. It is changed into prehensile arms that bear suctorial disks. The limbs have been modified into different organs in different animals. For cursorial animals like horse and antelope it has been adopted as a limb and helps the animals in running. For arboreal animals like monkeys it helps in swinging in trees. For fossorial animals like moles and gophers they help for digging. For volants like bats they help in flying. For aquatic animals as in the seals and whales they help in swimming. Thus, the fingers and wristbones of a bat and whale, for instance, have virtually nothing in common except that they are definitely equivalent elements of the mammalian limb. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage, based on its content?

question_answer15) As medium of literary expression, the common language is inadequate. Like the man of letters, the scientist finds it necessary to "give a purer sense to the words of the tribe", but the purity of scientific language. The aim of the scientist is to say only one thing at a time, and to say it unambiguously and with the greatest possible clarity. To achieve this, he simplifies and jargonises. In other words, he uses the vocabulary and syntax of common speech in such a way that each phrase is susceptible to only one interpretation and when the vocabulary and syntax of common speech are too imprecise for his purpose he invites a new technical language, or jargon specially designed to express the limited meaning with which he s professionally concerned. The literary artist purifies the language of the tribe in a radically different way. The scientist's aim, as we have seen, is to say one thing, and only one thing at a time. This, most emphatically, is not the aim of the literary artist. Human life is lived simultaneously on many levels and has many meanings. Literature is a device for reporting the multifarious facts and expressing their various significance. When the literary artist undertakes to give a pure sense to the words of his tribe, he does so with the express purpose of creating a language capable of conveying, not the single meaning of some particular science, but the multiple significance of human experience, its most private as well as on its more public levels. The passage highlights the difference between:
