SECTION - A
Reading Comprehension (15 Marks)
(Q 1- 7) Read the following passage
How many of us say “sorry” as often as we should, realising our errors, and finding in our selves
the ability to admit we could be wrong.
,
B
E
C
D
In the teens particularly, it is hard to admit this fact. We always justify our actions, or put the
blame on somebody else, escaping responsibility ourselves.
Just try saying “sorry”, and really mean it, it works wonders, when some one is really angry, with
you, be it your parents, friends, teachers, anyone, and their temper has reached boiling point, you are
being pulled up for some mistake you have knowingly and unknowingly made, don’t argue (as hard as
it is not to) let the person have his say, then just say “I’m sorry”, you’ll see the magic formula begin to
work.
Admitting a mistake, doesnot lower anyone, or take away an ounce of your pride. It eases out
situations that are fiery. If we can control ourselves when someone else is in a rage, then we have
already conquered ill-temper.
So, go ahead and say “sorry” you’ll hardly need to use the word, for you will have mastered the
art of calming a temper down.
Now, answer the following questions. Each question has four choices. Choose the correct answer
and write (A), (B), (C), or (D) in your answer booklet.
