128.	Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.I don’t know whether the Madras Photographic Society has anything to do with the recently-publicised Chennai Photo Biennales, the first last year and the nextscheduled for 2018, but participant or not, it certainly deserves a bow for being the country’s first photographic society. Its founder was an Army doctor, AlexanderHunter. The Society was founded in 1857, shortly after Lord Canning arrived as Governor-General. Canning and Lady Canning, both photography enthusiasts, wereresponsible for creating the famed Government series, The People of India. Hunter had still earlier, in 1850, privately started the Madras School of Arts. The School,taken over by Government in 1852, moved from Popham’s Broadway to Poonamallee High Road. There, he and an eight-member committee revised the syllabus,offering two streams, Industrial and Artistic. Hunter was put in charge of the institution, renamed the Government School of Industrial Arts, in 1855. It was the firstformal school of Art in the country. In it, Hunter introduced Photography.Hunter retired in 1868, to be succeeded by Robert Chisholm. No mean ph otographer, Hunter encouraged the School, it is now the Government College of Arts andCrafts to build up a photographic collection. Unfortunately, little is left of his work, especially the monuments of South India captured by Government photographerLinnaeus Tripe and his assistant C Iyahsawmi. Hunter himself did a series of pictures of the ‘Seven Pagodas’ (Mahabalipuram) and worked with his wards onphotographs of the five hill tribes of the Nilgiris. It was at a prize-giving of the School that Hunter urged the Governor to provide it more suitable premises. Theycame up on the PH Road site in Chisholm’s time and to his design — and remain there.Who is credited for creating the famous ‘People of India’ photography series?1). Alexan der Hunter2). Robert Chisholm3). Linnaeus Tripe4). Lord Canning

135.	Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.Let’s move to the crackling topic of the SC’s firecracker ban in Delhi. Like me and millions of other children raised in India, Masaba must have celebrated Diwali withnew clothes, sweets and the quintessential rockets, anars and phuljharis. But when she supports the ban on firecrackers because of the pollution it creates, theearthworms once again flail desperately, not by quoting statistics or making logical arguments to refute her point but by muck-raking. ‘Don’t mess with our ancienttraditions,’ they say. I would like to tell them that if we stuck to all our traditions just because they’re ancient then we should still be pushing widows into funeralpyres to commit sati and get our children married off at the age of eight.As much as I would like to see the delight on my daughter’s face — the s ame glee I had as a child — while bursting atom bombs and laris, it is the present scenarioand not nostalgia that must dictate my actions. If even doctors welcome the ban as they feel fumes from firecrackers take pollution levels beyond safe limits, thenperhaps we need to change our traditional values and create new ones. If saying that makes me a bad Indian, then so be it.One of the greatest privileges I have — in fact because of the very background that they are trying to smear — stems from t he fact that I was lucky enough to havea mother who has raised me to believe that equality isn’t one of my privileges but it is my right. One that was hard won by some brave and fearless women, womenwho set the right precedent for other women by standing against inequality.The flailing trollers do not realize that you cannot shame us by pulling down our mothers, those fiercely independent women who have lived life on their own terms,who have not just talked the talk but walked the walk. Yes, you can reason with us by presenting a logical argument but this seems to be beyond the resources ofthese anonymous creatures hiding their faces in the mud.And yes one last thing, for all those claiming to be the flag -bearers of ancient traditions, it would be lovely if you adhered to your so-called traditional wayscompletely. Why do you write open letters, tweet and troll in the language of the Brits? Why not go traditional there as well, use only our ancient languages andspare us your venom-filled and grammatically incorrect English?According to the passage why do the doctors welcome the ban?1). New clothes, sweets and fire crackers are nothing but the waste of money.2).Banning firecrackers is a decision taken by the government and we should respect it.3). This ban supports logic and we all should support logic.4). Fumes from firecrackers take pollution levels beyond safe limits

More than anything else, historians say, Gandhi proved that one man hasthe power to take on an empire, using both ethics and intelligence.Urges Britain to quit IndiaIt is hard to imagine the th in, robed Gandhi working in the rough and tumble world of law, but Gandhi did get his start in politics as a lawyer in South Africa, wherehe supported the local Indian community's struggle for civil rights. Returning to India in 1915, he carried over his desire to improve the situation of the lower classes.Gandhi quickly became a leader within the Indian National Congress, a growing political party supporting independence, and traveled widely with the party to learnabout the local struggles of various Indian communities.It was during those travels that his legend grew among the Indian people, historians say.Gandhi was known as much for his wit and intelligence as for his piety. When he was arrested several more times over the years for his actions during themovement, Gandhi calmly fasted in prison, believing that his death would embarrass the British enough to spur independence, which had become the focus of hispolitics by 1920.Gandhi's non-cooperation movement, kicked off in the early 1920s, called for Indians to boycott British goods and traditions and become self-reliant. His mostfamous protest came in 1930, when Gandhi led thousands of Indians on a 250-mile march to a coastal town to produce salt, on which the British had a monopoly.Who is ‘he’ referred to in the first paragraph of the passage?1).
