SECTION A- READING (15 Marks)
Read the following poem carefully
WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches ils arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit,
Where the mind is ied forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore
