PASSAGE 1Did I ever tell you about the time I went to sea? It was twenty years ago. I had had a little

trouble with my father, who for some reason insisted on calling me a liar. Anyway I was a young man longing for a life of adventure. I left home and was taken on as a deck-hand in a whaler, that is, a ship designed for the business of catching whales; and we set out for the Antarctic in hopes of a big haul.

As usually happens, the whole crew was keen to sight the first whale we saw. The look-out man reported to the captain that there was an island ahead; The captain could not find it on his map. It was no! an island at all; it was the biggest whale in the world. It was over three miles long.

As soon as the captain had realized what in fact it was, he did not hesitate. He ordered that every harpoon should be fired the moment we came within range. Harpoons are the weapons used for catching whales. They were all shot into the body of the whale at the same time, and the chase was on. The harpoons were connected to the ship by strong cables. So we in the ship had to follow the whale's struggles, which were meant to tire it out.

But it wasn’t tired out. It was irritated by the pinpricks of the harpoons, and it turned and twisted this way and that. After a time it crashed into our ship, which sank like a stone, with the loss of all hands : all, that is, except me. As the whale's huge body crashed into the ship, I took a mighty flying leap and landed on its back. Of course, I was much too small for the whale to notice I was there. I rode on its back, wondering when it was going to dive. But, luckily, the sea was too shallow for it to do so.

83. The writer went to sea becauseA. He was twentyB. He father called him untruthfulC. He wanted a life of excitementD. Both B ~d C are necessary

84. The whole crew was eager toA. Find an islandB. Fire an islandC. Spot a whaleD. Haul in the whale

86. The sailors in the ship had to follow the whale's struggles ...A. To irritate it B. To save it C. To exhaust it D. To frighten it

87. When the ship sankA. Everyone was killedB. All the crew lost their hands C. Only the writer survived D. The whale was killed

PASSAGE 2The tragedy that befell the primary class students of Nath Hari Purandare School near

pune on Saturday is heart-breaking. Thirty-eight of them died while an equal number were left writhing in pain at the Sasoon General Hospital. The helpless children and_ their kith and kin deserve the nation's utmost sympathy. Misfortune struck the children, who were on their way to Ramdara, a picnic spot, when the bus in which they were traveling was hit by the speeding Bombay-bound Sahyadri Express at the unmanned level crossing. Before the bus could cross the tracks, the train dashed into its rear spinning the bus round and throwing off many of the children. As reports suggest, the bus driver could not hear the warning horn blown by the driver of another vehicle as the children, who were in a picnic mood, were singing aloud. Because of a curve preceding the level crossing, the train driven could not have a clear, long distance view of the tracks. Carelessness on the part of the bus driver is obvious though it would be better to wait for the commissioner of Railway safety to conclude his investigation into the macabre mishap. Nevertheless, it is the lack of a warning system at the level crossing that resulted in the accident. It goes without saying that most of the accidents are avoidable. There is need to make vehicle drivers conscious of the safety procedures they should adept while crossing railway tracks. On the part of the railways, train drivers should be forced to maintain mandatory speed limit while negotiating level crossings. However the ideal solution would be to comment all unmanned level crossings into the manned ones.

C. Having a speed limit for train driversD. Severely punishing the driver at fault

He had with him gold ornaments. He was a social worker as well. His wife Smita accompanied him. Smita was from village Vadgaon. Ramarao asked him, "Why have you come to such a distant village?
