Question

A.1 Find the words from the passage which mean the following: (2M)
a) cowardsb) small object used to fetch good luck.
There are two ways of avoiding fear: one is by persuading ourselves that we are immune
from disaster, and the other is by the practice of sheer courage. The later is difficult, and to
everybody becomes impossible at a certain point, the former has, therefore, always been
more popular. Primitive magic has the purpose of securing safety, either by injuring enemies
or by protecting oneself by talismans, spells or incantations. Without any essential change,
belief in such ways of avoiding dangers survived throughout the many centuries of
civilization.... Science has now lessened the belief in magic, but many people more faith in
mascots than they are willing to avow... Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted
to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear. And for this reason
poltroons are more prone to cruelty than brave men, and are also more prone to superstition.​
