| Serial No. | Questions | Answers | Detailed Solution |
| 1 | The author grew up with the expectation that she would take up ______________ . Fill in the blank with the correct option to complete the sentence. | (3) creative writing. | The extract reveals that the author bore the burden of her father's literary demands and was over the moon when he saw her having the desire to write. Creative writing is therefore what was expected of her. |
| 2 | When her father said, ‘‘She will go far,’’ he meant that _______________ . Fill in the blank with the correct option to complete the sentence. | (2) she will achieve great heights in life. | In reference to his daughter's skillfulness in writing ‘go far’ is used as a figurative expression by the father pertaining to the standard or height she will attain in life as a result of her writing prowess and not any geographical direction. |
| 3 | Choose a statement which is not true with respect to the passage: | (3) Her family was chauvinistic about the English language. | In the context of klins family, it was their Hindi speaking heritage and Premchand's figure who made them proud, not English language. English chauvinism is a false notion that must not hold any ground. |
| 4 | Premchand became too large for her to understand mainly because of _____________ . Choose the correct answer from the options given below: | (2) (A) and (C) only. | The extract emphasizes that communication and affection from all sorts of people contributed significantly to the halo around him in the author’s eyes and his personality was simply irresistible. |
| 5 | ‘Inhaled his writing’ refers to : Choose the correct option from the following. | (1) imbibing his style subconsciously. | The writer claims that even without getting introduced to Premchand’s works at first, she was able, owing to the family background, to 'breathe', so to speak, his writings in a deeply indirect way and thus do away with the peculiarities of his composition. |
| 6 | Choose the correct meaning of the word ‘‘Ubiquity’’ as it appears in the passage: | (3) Omnipresence. | All these instances suggest the use of the word ‘ubiquity’ in the passage is aimed at showing the stretch of the presence of adopted individuals such as Premchand being in numerous places in such a way as to seem to be everywhere at once. |
| 7 | The author argues that humans don’t have ‘‘free will’’ because ____________________. | (1) our decisions are shaped by past events and environmental influences. | The passage emphasizes that the past and past memories as well as the environment affect our decisions and choices as many of them are not made in isolation but in consideration of other aspects. |
| 8 | ‘‘Karmic imprint’’ referred to in the passage implies ___________________________. | (2) our genetic code, upbringing and environment. | Which brings us to a pivotal aspect of this book. We have so far encountered various terms – ‘life karma’, ‘samskaras’ and ‘karmic imprint’. The author explains these concepts by presenting examples from the behavior of humans and animals. The definition that the author provides is quite simple and straightforward. The author refers to the idea of ‘karmic imprint’ as the sum of one’s desires: all egoistic and self-centered acts, the own intentions and even thoughts- which when achieved result in imperceptible impressions. Karmic imprint, therefore, allows to determine both purposeful action by an individual and passive intention or even desire for action leading to self-gratification. |
| 9 | ‘‘Free will’’ can be experienced if ___________________________. | (3) we let go of our ego, attachments and fixed beliefs. | The passage suggests that to experience free will, one must free themselves from their conditioning, which includes ego, attachments, and fixed beliefs. |
| 10 | The author proves that the idea of ‘‘free will’’ is a myth by suggesting that ______________________. | (1) our ability to make a choice is restricted by our predispositions. | The passage highlights that our ability to choose is limited by our predispositions, which come from our past conditioning and experiences, making true free will a myth. |
| 11 | What does the author propose as a means to expand the scope of one’s agency ? Choose the correct option. | (2) Engaging in sustained inner work and self-awareness. | The author suggests that deepening self-awareness and engaging in inner work to examine and reform one's conditioned beliefs can help expand one's freedom of choice, or agency. |
| 12 | What do you think could be a suitable title for this passage ? Choose the most appropriate option. | (3) Do human beings really have ‘‘Free Will’’ ? | The passage focuses on questioning the existence of true free will and explaining how human decisions are influenced by past conditioning, making the third option the most appropriate title. |
