No. 76 to 80 Read the passage carefully and find out the options. In any awkward situation or a misadventure, a man with a sense of humour can take a detached view of it, and laugh at the absurdity. Such a laughter, such a sense of humour is a great relief. The English have it in a marked degree, whereas the French and the Germans lack it.
Whenever one wonders why this sense of humour is required, one should consider the reactions of a person with a sense of humour, and those who have no humour, and is either too serious or too sentimental. A man with a sense of humour looks at the victims of laughter in a sympathetic, loving light, and even if the laugh is turned against himself, he takes it with detachment, in a sportsman-like spirit.
A sense of humour means a sense of proportion. A wise man has a sense of proportion. He is not carried away by an exaggerated or a one-sided view, however exalted it may be. This sense of proportion may be called commonsense. A humorist, in proportion as he is great, is a wise man, a man of sound commonsense, and his laughter is of the highest type. Comedy of the highest type includes, as its soul, this sense of humour.
The spirit of humour teaches us the important philosophy of acceptance. Instead of vainly and frettingly trying to reform the world -'mould the sorry state of things'-the humorist accepts the incongruity of the world -the absurdity -and laughs at it, and enjoys it. As the mystic at the highest moment of his trance, is one with the world, accepts it, so the humorist at the best, is satisfied with the world, accepts it, and laughs, and enjoys the very absurdity of it.
This laughter of the highest type has naturally a social value. It opens the eyes of the readers to the incongruity and the absurdity of life around us.

No. 76 to 80 Read the passage carefully and find out the options. In any awkward situation or a misadventure, a man with a sense of humour can take a detached view of it, and laugh at the absurdity. Such a laughter, such a sense of humour is a great relief. The English have it in a marked degree, whereas the French and the Germans lack it.
Whenever one wonders why this sense of humour is required, one should consider the reactions of a person with a sense of humour, and those who have no humour, and is either too serious or too sentimental. A man with a sense of humour looks at the victims of laughter in a sympathetic, loving light, and even if the laugh is turned against himself, he takes it with detachment, in a sportsman-like spirit.
A sense of humour means a sense of proportion. A wise man has a sense of proportion. He is not carried away by an exaggerated or a one-sided view, however exalted it may be. This sense of proportion may be called commonsense. A humorist, in proportion as he is great, is a wise man, a man of sound commonsense, and his laughter is of the highest type. Comedy of the highest type includes, as its soul, this sense of humour.
The spirit of humour teaches us the important philosophy of acceptance. Instead of vainly and frettingly trying to reform the world -'mould the sorry state of things'-the humorist accepts the incongruity of the world -the absurdity -and laughs at it, and enjoys it. As the mystic at the highest moment of his trance, is one with the world, accepts it, so the humorist at the best, is satisfied with the world, accepts it, and laughs, and enjoys the very absurdity of it.
This laughter of the highest type has naturally a social value. It opens the eyes of the readers to the incongruity and the absurdity of life around us.
76. Choose the word with the closest meaning to the word underlined in the sentence. The spirit of humour teaches us the important philosophy of acceptance.
