Directions (For the items which follow) : In this Section you have Eight short passages. After each passage, you will find several questions based on the passage. First, read a passage, and then answer the questions based on it. You are required to select your answers based on the contents of the passage and opinion of the author only. PASSAGE-VIII The Indian culture of our times is in the making. Many of us are striving to produce a blend of all cultures that seem today to be in clash with one another. No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive. There is no such thing as pure Aryan culture in existence in India today. Whether the Aryans were indigenous to India or were unwelcome intruders, does not interest me much. What does interest me is the fact that my remote ancestors blended with one another with the utmost freedom and we of the present generation are a result of that blend. I do not want my house to be walled in, on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I would have any young men and women with literary tastes to learn as much of English and other world-languages as they like, and then expect them to give the benefits of their learning to India and the world alike like a Bose, a Ray or Tagore. But I would not have a single Indian forget, neglect or be ashamed of his mother tongue, or feel that he or she cannot think or express the best thoughts in his or her own vernacular. Mine is not a religion of the prison house. The author views Indian Culture as:

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Occan. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States . ending at a remote icefree seaport Village nearly 800 miles from where it begins . It is massive in size and extremely. complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept planins and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground . It weaves through crooked canyons , climbs sheer monuments , plunges over rocky crags , makes its way through thick forest , and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams . The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons ) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H - Shaped steel racks called" bents". long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth . Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline's up and down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate , the tortuous lay of the land , and the varied composition of soil, rock, or permafrost ( permanently frozen ground) . A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet , depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of of the soil. One of the largest in the world , the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact , no single business could raise that much money , so 8 major oil companies , formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline construction fund according to the size of its holdings.
