171. A moot question to be considered is whether democratic form of government is a boon or bane, no matter what Lincoln might or might not have said. Rather his most (in?) famous adage,’by the people, for the people and of the people’ misses the most pertinent question; which attitude works behind when a person declares that he is a (or the right?) candidate to serve the people, and does not hesitate to contest and fight tooth and nail the election, an euphemism for battle with or without bullets. Admittedly, the covert attitude is different from overt attitude. Hardly any one contests the election unwillingly. A contestant is not persuaded by any one, but driven by his own passions and dubious motives. Contrast this picture with Socrates’version; no honest man willingly takes tip the job of ruler. If at all he accepts, he does so for fear of being ruled by one made Lip of inferior ineLLIC. It is beyond even the wildest imagination, to expect an honest person to contest the election. Assuming that every statement is true, identify from among the given alternatives the one which strictly follows from the passage.

(b) Lincoln and Socrates are talking differently
(c) Actually, Socrates scores over Lincoln on this issue.
(d) Rulers canbehonest.

172. According to the above passage, which one of the following correctly differentiates Lincoln’s and Socrates’ analyses?

But none can have without scientific and technological advance which has singularly made progress possible. Furthermore environment includes not just forest wealth and hills, but animal wealth also. An honest environmentalist is obliged to address the following questions. Fiosl, should man in the interest of hygiene, kill any living being be it an insect purported to be ha mrful r stray dogs? After all, the world does not belong to man alone. Which one of the following runs counter to the spirit of the passage?

(a) In the interest of health and cleanliness, our surroundings must be from disease spreading bacteria.
(b) Non-violence as a moral principle extends to all living creatures.
(c) Vegetarian food is ideal to all men.
(d) Man should protect his environment because he has to live.

174. Does our society need reservation in Job? Before we defend reservation, we must consider some issues. Why do we need reservation? Obviously, reservation is required to lift the downtrodden and thereby achieve equality. How do you achieve this? Every individual, without exception, has a right to receive quality education. It is more so in the case of downtrodden people. Only a good-natured meritorious teacher can impart quality education. Suppose that a person who is neither good-nurtured nor meritorious becomes a teacher thanks to reservation system. Then generations of students suffer. Suppose that there is some merit in this argument. Then which of the following aptly describes the fall-out of his argument?

(a) Reservation is individual -centric, but not group-centric.
(b) Reservation, in at least one field, is self-defeating.
(c) The argument is biased.
(d) Education is not required to uplift the downtrodden.

175. Under the same fact situation as above, which one of the following helps you to circumvent the situation?

(a) Replace education with money and make poor rich.
(b) To achieve equality encourage inter-caste marriage
(c) Only downtrodden people should form the government.
(d) Identify good namred and meritorious people within downtrodden group [o make them teachers.

Re: Previous year CLAT question papers

Here I am providing you Common Law Admission Test (CLAT ) Previous year question papers.

Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions.

MY LOVE OF NATURE, goes right backto my childhood, to the times whenI stayed onmy grandparents’ farm in Suffolk. My father was in the armed forces, so we were always moving and didn’t have a home base for any length of time, but I loved going there. I drink it was my grandmother who encouraged my more than anyone : she taught me the names of wild flowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on do Zoology at University.

I didn’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn’t know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones and starfish. I became keen very quickly, and learned how to develop and print; obviously i didn’t have much money in those days, so I did more black and while photography than colour, but it was a still using the camera very much as a tool to record what I found both by diving and on the shore. I had no ambition at ail to be a photographer then, or even for some years afterwards.

Unlike many of the wildlife photographers of the time, I trained as a scientist and therefore my way of expressing myself is very different. I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it. In so doing you’re actually falsifying the sort of seaweeds they have on and so on, which may seen unimportant, but it is actually changing the natural surroundings to make them prettier. Unfortunately, many of the people who select pictures are looking for attractive images mid, at the end of the day, whether it’s tmthful or not doesn’t really matter to them.

It’s important to think about the animal first, and there are many occasions when I’ve not taken a picture because it would have been too disturbing. Nothing is so important that you have to get that shot; of course, there are cases when it would be very sad ifyou didn’t, but it’s not the end of the world. There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won’t get used to people suddenly rusting up to them. The sheerpressure ofpeople, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly fewer places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult lortlreprofessional wild life photographer.

Nevertheless, wildlife photographs play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. Of the qualities it takes to make a good wildlife photographer, patience is perhaps the most obvious –you just have to be prepared to sit it out. I’m actually more patient now because I write more than ever before, and as long as I’ve got a bit ofpaper and a pencil, I don’t feel fm wasting my time. And because I photograph such a wide range of things, even if the main target doesn’t appear I can probably find something else to concentrate on instead.
