Question

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully :-
Our opportunities are great but let me warn you that when power outstrips ability, we will fall on evil days. We should develop competence and ability which would help us utilise the opportunities which are now open to us. From tomorrow morning from midnight today-we cannot throw the blame on the British. We have to assume the responsibility ourselves for what we do. A free India will be judged by the way in which it will serve the interests of the common man in the matter of food, clothing, shelters and social activities. Unless we destroy corruption in high places and root out every trace of nepotism, love of power , profiteering and black marketing which have spoiled the good name of this country in recent times, we will not be able to raise the standards of efficiency in administration as in well as the production and distribution of the necessary goods of life.
