Question

read the following passage carerully and complete the acidities Unseen
passage.
In what was ways does a man differ from beasts? How is he superior to
them? In swiftness or ferocity the deer and the lion leave man far behind. Sheep are
more gentle, nightingales are more melodious, tortoise longer-lived, bees more co-
operative. The ants run a state in a more organized way than the most organized
state does.
Man's distinction and superiority lies in three things. The first of these things
is reason. Man, said Aristotle, is primarily a reason animal. He has a mind, which can
reflect, discover causes, find reasons, why, plan the future and meditate upon
the
purpose of life.
Secondly, there are morals. Every other animal except man, acts as it does,
because it is its nature to act, and we don't say whether it is right or wrong. We don't
judge it morally. We don't blame a tiger for tearing its prey. Man has a sense of right
and wrong and therefore he can be judged morally.
The third distinctive quality of man is his sense of beauty. Man recognizes
and responds to beauty in the natural world, and creates for himself images of
beauty in words, sound, paint and stone.
