189. Ive looked everywhere for my passport and

can only assume it has gone astray.
Many s ocial reformers believed t hat

integration of a country could survive on the
foundation of faith, brother-hood and cooperation.
The conditions in India were diversified with
factors like caste system, colour etc. It was not
an easy task to bring about the brotherhood
feeling among our people in India. Hindu rulers,
though professing the same faith, were divided
among themselves. The division was perpetuated
later by Muslim rulers. But during the British
rule the policy of divide and rule became a cause
of conflict.
The dynamism o f Sardar Pat el led
independent states to become an integral part of
the Indian Union. This was the first step towards
national integration. Today national integration
remains a distant goal. Love for power, craze for
riches, religious and linguistic fantasia makes
integrati on
impo ssible.
Under
th ese
circumstances a need for national integration
is greatly felt. Young minds should be taught the
value of national integration and its advantages.

PASSAGE-2
Essentially, religion is code of conduct for
people of different communitiesgeographical or
culturalto follow. Religion is a dead document.
It is an imposed human burden on man after his
birth. Besides, every religion generates hatred
in a bid to gather more people in its flock, leading
to bloodshed.
Whenever and wherever religion grows, it
spreads intolerance amongst people of different
religious denominations. Relig ion actually
removes God from the purview of man, assuring
him of heaven by his own good words. Thus God
is made superfluous. What a falsehood! Perhaps
it is this unconscious lack of fear of a living God
that results in every evil. It is time for all of us to
realize that what men need today is a God, and
not religion. From the time of his birth, mans
conscience is coded with the knowledge of God.
the fact that there is only one God who has eyes
to behold, ears to hear and a heart to love and to

save. God is indeed invincible and cannot be
defeated by any power.
At this hour, when we must unite to combat
pain and suffering, I request you to turn to this
God of love, forgiveness and justice. He is your
need and not religion. Over the ages, millions,
irrespective of caste, creed, colour and religion,
have cried out to God and have been saved. May
the Lord grant all humanity the humility to do
so, for sooner or later every one has to meet his
or her maker.
196. What message does the author convey to
the people?
(A) God is almighty
(B) God showers his love on all of us

(B) bargaining takes place
(C) it has to offer something at stake
(D) people come in large numbers to join it
