Question

47. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below:
According to the dictionary, 'To educate' means to advance the mental, asthetic,
physical, or moral development. The subsidiary meaning is to qualify by instruction for the
business and duties of life, to instruct, to train or to rear. The ancients believed that education
means not only to know what a man does not, but to act as he should and must not. A
Sanskrit script says that education is meant to expand the horizons of knowledge. Thus the
aim of education is to rear a child in a way that his whole personality is so developed that he
becomes useful both to himself and the society. An artisian learns the way of earning from his
forefathers. It is rather an irony that those who think education as a source of livelihood
remain unemployed, and those who adopt the real source earn thousands per month from
petty stalls.
