    Directions For Questions

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

    Journalists argue over the functions of a newspaper. I feel that a provincial paper's purpose is not only to present and project the news objectively and imaginatively but to help its readers to express themselves more effectively, canalizing their aspirations, making more articulate their demands. A newspaper should reflect the community it serves - warts and all. When the mirror is held to society, it reveals neglect, injustice, ignorance, or complacency. It should help to eradicate them. It would be pretentious to think that a newspaper can change the course of world affairs but at the local limit it can exert influence, it can probe, it can help get things done. The individual's voice must not be stifled. Instead, the readers should be encouraged to express their opinions, fears, hopes, and or their grievances on this platform.

    Directions For Questions

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

    The word ‘patriotism’ means love for one’s motherland. It is a natural feeling that almost every person possesses. If a person has no love for his motherland, he must be as good as dead. ‘Love of the country’ should become our motto. The love for one’s motherland is more significant than all other varieties of love. This love may be there because of the physical beauty of one’s motherland, its landscape, fertility or rich natural resources. But, it really is a thing to be proud of. It instills a feeling of ownness in a person and he or she comes to have an emotional hand with the land of his or her birth. This love, i.e., ‘patriotism’ is untouched by selfishness. On the other hand, a patriot is always prepared to make sacrifices for his or her country.
