ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST

Note: Four alternatives are given as possible answers to each question. Give the correct choice as an answer.

Directions : (Question No. 131-140) Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions based on it. Do not go beyond the passage in answering questions

By the mid-eighteenth century many houses had lavish carpeting, marble floors, chandeliers and fireplaces in British India. Such splendour and extravagance was unknown in this country. One lawyer is supposed to have owned seventy-one pairs of breeches and eight-one waistcoats-were signs of the kind of money a certain class of Englishmen was making in India. This was the Nabob. The wealthy Nabob was of course the arrogant Englishman, whose appearance can be dated back to the latter half of the eighteenth century. The Nabob-as distinct from the Indian ‘nawab’-was one who wanted to lead in India the good life denied to him in England. He was uncouth, wealthy, dishonest and bullying. Macaulay described a Nabob as a ‘gentleman with a tawny complexion, a bad liver and a worse heart’. Dr. Samuel Johnson commented about the most famous Nabob of all, Robert Clive: ‘a man who acquired his fortunes by such crimes that his consciousness of them compelled him to cut his own throat’. Clive committed suicide after his return to England. The Nabobs built lavish houses after Clive, drank heavily, gambled and indulged in massive feats and merrymaking. They had made their fortune in India and were very often fascinated by Indian customs. Often they went back to England, acquired peerages and some even went on to become members of Parliament. The Nabobs were the first to identify the ‘nautch-girl’ or Indian dancing girls as their main source of relaxation, and poems of the time often describe the sinuous movements and seductive powers of these girls. Many Nabobs took Indian wives, often to the chagrin of the English girls who came out to India to find husbands among their countrymen. Nobobs who dressed the Indian way earned the displeasure of their countrymen and women for going native. They learned the native languages and acquired the fine art of bullying in India. Flogging the servant for real or imagined insults or inefficiency was a common practice for the Nabobs.

131. What sort of houses were constructed by the British in India?

• They built huge houses after the Indian fashion
• They rebuilt Indian houses to live in them

132. How many breeches and waistcoats did the extravagant lawyer own?

• Eighty-one pairs of waistcoats and eighty-one breeches

133. What was the distinction between the Nabobs and Nawabs?

• Nabobs were those who wanted to become like greedy Indians in taste and manners
• Nabobs were those who wanted to lead the good life denied to them in England
• Nabobs were those who wanted to become cruel like the Nawabs
• Nabobs were those who wanted to rule India like Englishmen

134. Which trait did the Nabobs, broadly speaking, lack?

• Uncouthness
• Kindness
• Dishonesty
• Wealthy

135. Why did Robert Clive commit suicide according to Dr. Johnson?

• Because he had started loving Indians very much
• Because he was poor and life had become unbearable
• Because the pangs of conscience about his crimes were too much for him
• Because he wanted to marry some Indian nautch girls in England

136. What did the Nabobs who wanted to imitate Clive not do?

140. How did the Nabobs behave with their servants?
