Question

Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Patriotism is an old concept, as old perhaps as the earliest of human civilizations.
But all through the history of mankind, it has been narrowly understood. Today,
people have begun to realise that patriotism is an essential part of human instinct.
Patriotism has its negative sides particularly when it exceeds its proper bounds.
People who think their own country to be the best and are blind to its weaknesses
are not patriots at all.
We are the members of a large human family and so cannot neglect our duties and
responsibilities towards it. Our love for the country should be conditioned by
respect for the whole community. Narrow prejudice can do nothing except to bring
misfortune. In trying to overlook others' interest in the modern world, we harm our
own. Patriotism should be tempered with reason so that it may not be an evil.
