Read the following extract and
answer the question numbers 98, 99, 100:
... if I cut it
[my hand] it will bleed, like a can of cherries. But then the skin that is cut,
and the veins that bleed, and the bones that should never be seen, they are all
just as alive as the blood that flows. So the tin can business, or vessel of clay,
is just bunk.
And that’s what
you learn, when you’re a novelist. And that’s what you are very liable not to
know, if
you’re a parson, or a philosopher,
or a scientist, or a stupid person. If you’re a parson, you talk about souls in
heaven. If you’re a novelist, you know that paradise is in the palm of your
hand, and on the end of your nose, because both are alive; and alive and man
alive, which is more than you can say, for certain, of paradise. Paradise is
after life, and I for one am not keen on anything that is after life. If you
are a philosopher, you talk about infinity, and the pure spirit which knows all
things.
But if you pick
up a novel, you realize immediately that infinity is just a handle to this
self-same jug of a body of mine; while as for knowing, if I find my finger in
the fire, I know that fire burns with a knowledge
so emphatic and vital, it leaves
Nirvana merely a conjecture. Oh, yes, my body, me alive, knows, and knows
intensely. And as for the sum of all knowledge, it can’t be anything more than
an accumulation of all the things I know in the body, and you, dear reader,
know in the body.
98. Which of the following
observations is true about the difference between a philosopher and a
novelist in this extract?
(A) The philosopher speaks about
the immediate while the novelist speaks about the eternal things.
(B) While the philosopher speaks
about life in heaven, the novelist speaks about everyday life.
(C) While the philosopher speaks
about the live body, the novelist speaks about the state of Nirvana.
(D) The philosopher focuses on the
body which bleeds, while the novelist always speaks about
transcendental things.
99. The author, in the passage,
compares the novel to
(A) the human body
(B) the metaphysical paradise
(C) accumulation of spiritual
knowledge
(D) Both (B) and (C)
100. The author compares the novel
to a ‘tin can business’ because
(A) both of them are favourite
objects to consumers.
