Question paper 1

1. SECTION-A

   1.Read the following passage and answer the questions below:

   The other day we heard someone smilingly refer to poets as dreams Now it is accurate to refer to poets as dreamers but it is not discerning to infer, as this person did that the dreams of poets have on practical value beyond the realm of literary diversion the truth is that poets are first as practical as people who build bridges or look into microscopes; and just as close to reality and truth Where they differ from the logician and the scientist is in the temporal sense alone; they are ahead of their time, We must not be so superficial that we fail to discern the practicableness of dreams. Dreams are the sunrise streamer heralding a new day of scientific progress, another forward surge. Every forward step man takes in any field of life is first taken along the dreamy paths of imagination Robert Fulton did not discover the steamboat with full steam up, straining at a hawser at some Hudson River dock; he first dreamed the steamboat ,he and other dreamers and then scientific wisdom converted a picture in the mind in to a reality of steel and wood the automobile was not dug out of the ground like a nugget of gold’ first men dreamed the automobile and long afterward, the practical-minded engineers caught up with what had been created by winging fantasy. He who looks with a seeing eye and deeply into the poetry of yesterday finds there all the cold scientific magic of today and much which we shall not enjoy until some tomorrow. If the poet does not dream so clearly that the blueprints of this vision can immediately effected, he must not for that reason be smiled upon as merely the mental host for a sort of harmless madness.
