Directions (35-40): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.
If there is one thing that we relentlessly pursue in life— the only thing we
put all our pennies on in this big worldly gamble—it is happiness. The ultimate
goal that we all crave is everlasting bliss. What charades and circuses we play to
attain the state of eternal joy! While this rigmarole governs our everyday thoughts
and actions, another element sneaks in as soon as we reach our dream: Fear—
the fear of losing the happiness that we know is ephemeral. Come to think of it,
much as we covet it, happiness frightens us. It also makes us wary of revealing
our joys, and we often hide good things to avoid getting jinxed. Why do we fear

r’s
happiness? Why do we think every moment of joy comes at a price?
The fear of happiness is a paradox embedded in the human psyche. It’s
almost as if we’ve been conditioned to believe that joy is too fragile to last, that it
carries an expiry date we cannot predict. This belief turns happiness into a double-
edged sword: on one side, it is the elation we strive for; on the other, it is the
dread of its inevitable end. Where does this fear originate? Perhaps it stems from
ha
a deep-seated awareness of life’s impermanence.
We’ve all seen moments of bliss snatched away by unexpected turns of fate.
A child’s innocent laughter may be followed by tears, a promotion at work may

E
bring unforeseen stress, and a long anticipated celebration may be marred by
tragedy. These experiences condition us to approach happiness with caution, to
d
brace ourselves for the fall even as we revel in the peak. This trepidation finds
cultural expressions, too. Superstitions like “knock on wood” or “touch iron” are
more than quaint habits; they are safeguards against the perceived fragility of
ee

joy. Similarly, the kaala teeka or talisman traditions reflect a universal belief
that happiness attracts envy and, by extension, misfortune.
35. What is the primary paradox described in the passage regarding happiness?
1) Happiness is pursued but never truly desired.
C
2) Happiness is fleeting and leads to despair.
3) Happiness is both a source of joy and fear.
Sr

4) Happiness is only attainable through cultural practices.

5) Happiness is immune to the effects of fate.
36. According to the passage, what belief about happiness makes it fragile?
1) It is too complex to understand.
2) It comes at a significant financial cost.
3) It is only accessible to certain people.
4) It is immune to external factors.
C
5) It carries an unpredictable expiry date.
37. Which cultural practice mentioned in the passage is aimed at protecting happiness
from misfortune?
1) Using a kaala teeka or talisman. 2) Celebrating with grandeur.
3) Avoiding moments of joy entirely. 4) Following strict religious rituals.
5) Sharing happiness openly.
38. What does the author suggest might be a source of the fear associated with
happiness?
1) A lack of understanding of true joy. 2) Awareness of life’s impermanence.
3) Failure to achieve one’s goals. 4) Superstitions surrounding fate.
5) The envy of others.
39. Choose the word which expresses nearly the opposite meaning of the given word
paradox as given in the passage.
1) ambiguity 2) anamoly 3) enigma 4) normality 5) reverse
40. Choose the word which expresses the same meaning of the given word jinxed as
given in the passage.
1) fortunate 2) lucky 3) adverse 4) auspicious 5) proper
