Answer questions 16 to 20 based on the following passage:

Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse, for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, if used carelessly it can also make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. Unwittingly, we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from what it does to people of our own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but one which demands careful handling. Only a fool will express alike in all situations to all kinds and conditions of people.

Answer questions 31 to 35 based on the following passage:

Soft bodied animals like caterpillars often fall a prey to voracious hunters like birds or reptiles. Despite having no means to 'actively' defend themselves, with weapons like claws or jaws, they have nevertheless, evolved other equally effective deterrents. A particular species of the caterpillar lives at an altitude over 2500 metres in the Himalayas. It uses prominent colour to inform would be predators of its inedibility. In the event that an inexperienced or adventurous bird did eat the caterpillar, it would probably vomit it soon after, and subsequently desist from attacking similar species in future. Though this would do the unfortunate victim no good, the species benefits. A rare example of the martyr among animals.

Read the following passage (from Eugene Nidal carefully and answer questions 36-40:

Since no two languages are identical, either in the meanings given to corresponding symbols or in the ways in which such symbols are arranged in phrases and sentences, it stands to reason that there can be no absolute correspondence between languages. Hence there can be no fully exact translations. The total impact of a translation may be reasonably close to the original, but there can be no identity in detail. Constance West clearly states the problem: "Whoever takes upon himself to translate contracts a debt; to discharge it, he must pay not with the same money, but the same sum." One must not imagine that the process of translation can avoid a certain degree of interpretation by the translator. In fact, as Rossetti stated, "A translation remains perhaps the most direct form of commentary."

36) According to the passage, which of the following statements is valid?

Not two, but many languages are identical.

Any two languages are identical.

Languages are not always identical.

Any two languages are never identical.

37) What according to you is "absolute correspondence between languages"?

A situation where meaning is completely transferred to another language.

A situation where two languages correspond through translation.

A situation where a person can correspond in more than two languages.

A situation where meanings do not correspond.

38) The total impact of translation is always

Identical to the original.

Far from being identical to the original.

Reasonably close but not identical to the originaL

Subject to interpretation.

39) A translator "must pay not with the same money, but the same sum" means_.

Translator should pay close attention to words and sentences during translation.

Translator should be faithful to every detail.

Translator should not interpret.

Translator should focus on the overall meaning and not only on individual words! sentences.

40) Does translation involve a certain degree of interpretation?
