Directions for Q. Nos. 31 to 45 : These questions are based on the contents of the passages and II given below. Read the
passages carefully and answer the questions that follow them on the basis of the contents of the passage in each case.
Passage I
War has escaped the battlefield and now can, with modern guidance systems on missiles, touch virtually every square
meter of the earth’s surface. War has also lost most of its utility in achieving the traditional goals of conflict. Control of
territory carries with it the obligation to provide subject peoples certain administrative, health, education, and other social
services; such obligations far outweigh the benefits of control. If the ruled population is ethnically or racially different from
the rulers, tensions and chronic unrest often exist which further reduce the benefits and increase the costs of domination.
46
31. According to the passage, leaders of pre-modernised
society considered war to be
(1) a valid tool of national policy
(2) an important act of aggression
(3) economically wasteful and socially unfeasible
(4) restricted in scope to military participants
32. Which of the following cannot be cited as a psychic
advantage of war in the pre-modernized society,
according to the author?
(1) The creation of a sense of security
(2) The perception of war as a noble aspect of life
(3) The enhancement of national self-esteem
(4) The pride that followed as a result of power over
others
33. The author most likely places the word “civilized”
in quotation marks in order to
(1) show dissatisfaction at not having found a better
word
(2) acknowledge that the word was borrowed from
another source
(3) express irony that war should be a part of
civilisation
(4) impress upon the reader the tragedy of war
34. The author mentions all of the following as possible
reasons for going to war in a pre-modernised society,
except
(1) possibility of material gain
(2) total annihilation of the enemy and destruction
of enemy territory
(3) potential for increasing the security of the nation
(4) desire to capture productive farming lands
35. Which of the following best describes the tone of
the passage?
(1) Outraged and indignant
(2) Humorous and wry
(3) Concerned and optimistic
(4) Scientific and detached
36. War in the pre-modern society was often the subject
of legend because
(1) it was a noble aspect of life
(2) it was required to be recorded for history
(3) it was an unavoidable part of existence
(4) it was considered an exciting and dramatic
phenomenon
37. According to the passage, war in the modern time is
no longer desirable because
(1) people have realised the costs of going to war
are enormous
(2) there is far greater desire for peace and
coexistence than for power
(3) of the realisation that ruling over other countries
is no longer economically advantageous
(4) technological advances have obviated the need
for war
38. The words ‘war has escaped the battlefield’ have been
used in the passage to indicate that
(1) technological advances have made the field of
war all pervasive
(2) the area of war is now not definable
(3) war has become uncontrollable
(4) battlefields are now extinct
39. The contents of the passage show that it has been
written
(1) very recently
(2) about 5 years back
(3) sometime in the 1980s
(4) cannot be determined from the passage
Large populations no longer necessarily enhance state power and, in the absence of high levels of economic development,
can impose severe burden on food supply, jobs, and broad range of services expected of modern governments. The noneconomic
security reasons for the control of territory have been progressively undermined by the advances of modern
technology. The benefits of forcing another nation to surrender its wealth are vastly overweighed by the benefits of persuading
the nation to produce and exchange goods and services. In brief, imperialism no longer pays.
Making war has been one of the most persistent of human activities in the 80 centuries since men and women settled
and thereby became “civilized” but the modernisation of the past 80 years has fundamentally changed the role and function
of war. In pre-modernized societies successful warfare brought significant material rewards, the most obvious of which were
the stored wealth of the defeated. Equally important was human labour – control over people as slaves or levies for the victor’s
army, and there was the productive capacity – agricultural lands and mines. Successful warfare also produced psychic
benefits. The removal or destruction of a threat brought a sense of security, and power gained over others created pride and
national self-esteem.
War was accepted in the pre-modernised society as a part of the human condition, a mechanism of change and an
unavoidable, even noble, aspect of life. The excitement and drama of war made it a vital part of literature and legends.
