Question

Q no. 1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end. (10)
PASSAGE
One great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge.
Science, as we have seen, has given us powers fit for gods, yet we use them like small children.
For example, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were made to be man's
servants, yet he has grown so dependent on them that they are in a fair way to become his
masters. Already most people spend most of their lives looking after and waiting upon
machines. And the machines are very stern masters. They must be fed with coal, and given
petrol to drink, and oil to wash with, and must be kept at the right temperature. And if they do
not get their meals when they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work, or burst with
rage, and blow up, and spread ruin and destruction all around them. So we have to wait upon
them very attentively and do all that we can to keep them in a good temper. Already we find it
difficult either to work or play without the machines, and a time may come when they will rule
us alltogether, just as we rule the animals.
