Question

Ques. 1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions by choosing the most

appropriate option. [1x6=6 Marks]



It is said that everyone lives by selling something. What you can understand by this statement is

that teachers lives by selling knowledge, philosophers lives by selling wisdom and priests earn

their living by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of

material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of services

which people perform for us.

There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we

might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely the same service. The

conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid

for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.

Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as

human beings to arouse the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have

nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they don’t sacrifice

their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money but he will never ask you to feel sorry for

him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences.

He may never be sure where his next meal is coming from, but he is free from the thousands of

anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible for him to

move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the

world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg or steal occasionally to keep himself

alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; he will never sacrifice his freedom.

We often speak with contempt for tramps and put them in the same class as beggars. But how

many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and

their freedom from any care in the world?
