[The black figures to the right indicate full marks.] Section A. -18 1. Paraphrase either (not both) of the following passages :(a) Where shall a teacher look in days like these For ears and hearts that he can hope to please? Speak but the word, will listen and return : Where beck'ning pleasure leads them, wildly stray, Parse the words in italics. (b) On the Garden. Had I the choice of sublunary good, What could I wish that I possess not here ? Health, leisure, means to improve it, friendship, peace, No loose or wanton, though a wandering muse, And constant occupation without care. Thus blest, I draw a picture of that bliss; Hopeless indeed that dissipated minds, And profligate abusers of a world Created fair so much in vain for them, Should seek the guiltless joys that I describe, Allured by my report; but sure no less That, self-condemned, they must neglect the prize, And what they will not taste must yet approve. Acknowledged, others may admire it too. Parse the words in italics. 2. Give the etymology and meaning of-superstition, 7 purloin, counterfeit, crucial, philanthropist, problem, sublunary.

Turn the following passage into the oblique narration:(a) It is not my intention at present to recount to your Lordships at length all the miserable subterfuges to which those poor creatures were then driven. I merely mention them to show what have been the consequences of precisely such a measure as this which you are now asked to support, and to point out, that if this bill becomes law, it will virtually force a lie into the mouths of those who might otherwise have remained honest in spite of their poverty. Turn the following passage into the direct narration :(b) I told him I should not go out of his house until he had done justice to myself and my sister. To which he replied that as to that I might please myself, that I was welcome to remain in that house as long as I pleased, and that he hoped I should be comfortable while I honoured it with my presence; but that as for himself he unfortunately had an important engagement elsewhere just then, and would therefore be unable longer to enjoy my agreeable society. Section C. 1. Make any corrections that you think necessary in the following (a) How great use is of education! Education may be said as a best possession of a mau. Many a wise persons have profited themselves by the education, and are become capable to appreciate blessings of the civilization. If a man 5 5 18 will not know English he will always be very much ignorant, and will not be able to vent out his feelings through medium of press. It will be better if he is taught English, and then he will be able to read histories of the countries of great distance, and learn of peoples quite different than the peoples of his own country. (b) He is angry against me. (c) The examination will take place on Saturday, is'nt it? (d) He said that I will do it.' (e) I am long since of twenty years in age. 2.

At all turns a man who will do faithfully, needs to believe firmly. 8 Subject. Predicate. Completion. Extension. |
