The last end of the state is not to dominate men, nor to restrain them by fear; rather it is so to free each man from fear that he may live and act with full security, and without injury to himself or his neighbour. The end of the state, I repeat, is not to make rational beings into brute beasts and machines. It is to enable their bodies and their minds to function safely. It is to lead men to live by, and to exercise, a free reason; that they may not waste their strength in hatred, anger and guile, nor act unfairly toward one another. Question: Based on the above passage, which one of the following terms best expresses the ultimate goal of the state?
A. Personal safety | B. Health of body and mind | C. Communal harmony | D. Liberty

Science by itself is not enough, there must be a force and discipline outside the sciences to coordinate them and point to a goal. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed. What science needs is philosophy - the analysis of scientific method and the coordination of scientific purposes and results; without this, any science must be superficial. Government suffers, precisely like science, for lack of philosophy. Philosophy bears to science the same relationship which statesmanship bears to politics: movement guided by total knowledge and perspective, as against aimless and individual seeking. Just as the pursuit of knowledge becomes scholasticism when divorced from the actual needs of men and life, so the pursuit of politics becomes a destructive bedlam when divorced from science and philosophy. Question: Which one of the following statements best reflects the most rational, logical and practical message conveyed by the passage?
A. Modern statesmen need to be well trained in scientific methods and philosophical thinking to enable them to have better perspective of their roles, responsibilities and goals. | B. It is not desirable to have Governments managed by empirical statesmen unless well mixed with others who are grounded in learning and reflect wisdom. | C. As the statesmen/bureaucrats are the products of a society, it is desirable to have a system of education in a society a that focuses on training its citizens in scientific method and philosophical thinking from a very early age. | D. It is desirable that all scientists need to be philosophers as well to make their work goal-oriented and thus purposeful and useful to the society.

In India, while the unemployment rate is a frequently used measure of poor performance of the economy, under conditions of rising school and college enrolment, it paints an inaccurate picture. The reported unemployment rate is dominated by the experience of younger Indians who face higher employment challenges and exhibit greater willingness to wait for the right job than their older peers. The unemployment challenge is greater for people with secondary or higher education, and rising education levels inflate unemployment challenges. Question: Which one of the following statements most likely reflects as to what the author of the passage intends to say?
A. Enrolment in schools and colleges is high but there is no quality education. | B. Unemployment must be seen as a function of rising education and aspirations of young Indians. | C. There are no labour-intensive industries to accommodate the huge number of unemployed people. | D. The education system should be properly designed so as to enable the educated people to be self-employed.
