SAMPLE PAPER 2
Read the following passage to answer question (6-7)
"The history of science is the real history of mankind." In this striking epigram
a nineteenth century writer links science with its background. Like most
epigrams, its power lies in emphasizing by contrast an aspect of truth which
may be easily overlooked. In this case it is easy to overlook the relations
between science and mankind and to treat the former as some abstract third
party, which can sometimes be praised for its beneficial influences, but
frequently and conveniently blamed for the horrors of war. Science and
mankind .cannot be divorced from time to time at men's convenience. Yet we
have seen that, inspite of countless opportunities of improvement, the
opening years of the present period of civilisation have been dominated by
international conflict.
Is this the inevitable result of the progress of science or does the fault lie
elsewhere?

6. The science "The history of science is the real history of mankind" means:

A) science has given man countless opportunities for improvement

B) science and mankind cannot always be divorced
C) mankind has progressed as science has developed
D) the good and bad uses of science reflect the character of man

7. The epigram given in, the passage highlights:

A) the evolution of science

B) the real history of man
C) the contrast between science and civilization
D) an elusive truth about human nature
