    Read the passage and answer from question Nos. 45 to 50 :
   “Everyday, day after day, we see men and animals dying. But each man thinks he is going to live on
    forever. What can be more surprising than this ?” So goes a passage in the Mahabharata. All religions
    are attempts to help man come to terms with death. Swami Vivekananda said, ‘so long as death is
    there religion will be  there’. However, it is common knowledge that very pious people are as much afraid
    of death as the no so pious. Gal Bellow, a Nobel Laureate in literature said, “The tragedy of
    civilization consists in the refusal of the doomed creature to die.” Jostling for space in the annals
    of history is an attempt to grapple with mortality. However, Norman O. Brown in his
    scholarly treatise, ‘Life against Death : A Psychoanalytic Interpretation of History’ concludes that
    the survival of mankind into the future urgently requires that we cultivate in every oncoming generation a
    consciousness that is willing and ready to die. This is squarely a challenge for educational research.

   (B) Religions attempt to help us to live properly and die properly.
   (C) Religions succeed in helping everyone of their followers to accept death when the time comes.
   (D) Death is there only because of religion.
47. The tragedy of civilization consists in
   (A) death
   (B) facilitates that increase life expectancy

Read the passage and answer from
question Nos. 45 to 50 :
“Everyday, day after day, we see men and animals dying. But each manthinks he is going to live on forever. What can be more surprising than this ?” So goes a passage in the Mahabharata. All religions are attempts to help man come to terms with death. Swami Vivekananda said, ‘so long as death is there religion will be there’. However, it is common knowledge that very pious people are as much afraid of death as the no so pious. Gal Bellow, a Nobel Laureate in literature said, “The tragedy of civilization consists in the refusal of the doomed creature to die.” Jostling for space in the annals of history is an attempt to grapple with mortality. However, Norman O. Brown in his scholarly treatise, ‘Life against Death : A Psychoanalytic Interpretation of History’ concludes that the survival of mankind into the future urgently requires that we cultivate in every oncoming generation a consciousness that is willing and ready to die.This is squarely a challenge fore ducational research. We must develop acurriculum that will enable every individual follow the ebb and flow of the clan vital in the parabola of the life cycle, savour the joys of sex in the waxing phase of the parabola and mellow with it in the waning phase.

45. According to the Mahabharata what is most surprising ?
(A) People dying
(B) Animals dying
(C) Animals and people living

(B) Religions attempt to help us to live properly and die properly.

(D) Death is there only because of religion.

47. The tragedy of civilization consists in
(A) death
(B) facilitates that increase life expectancy
(C) increase in population
(D) desire of human beings to live on forever

48. “Jostling for space in the annals of history” means
(A) struggling for lasting frame
(B) writing history books
(C) trying to get into spacecrafts
(D) trying to become a wrestler

49. What do you think Norman O. Brown’s book is about ?
