A new-born baby

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions by selecting the most appropriate options.

Every child, whether he comes to his family by birth or adoption, discovers what a family is through the experi­ences of family life. The new-born infant has no way of know­ing which of the many faces that hover above him belongs to a parent. He has no way of knowing what a parent is. He only knows that he is comfortable or uncomfortable, hungry or satisfied.
Gradually, as the months go by, he begins to know who brings comfort when he is uncomfortable and food when he is hungry. He comes to know the feel of the arm that holds him close when he eats and holds him safe in his bath. He grows to know who responds to his needs when he cries out, who is the special person in the whole strange new world who belongs specially to him. This is his first recognition of a parent.
The mother and the father who care for a child, who listen for his voice and try to interpret what he means, who com­fort him, feed him and play with him discover for the first time what it is to be parents. They do not become parents by virtue of conception and birth alone. They grow to be parents just as the infant grows to recognize them as such. They come to know the developing personality of their child in a way that no other person really can. They recognise whether he is a lusty eater or a nibbler, vivacious or reserved, adventurous or cautious. By observing his intellectual and physical abili­ties, they also get to know what he may become in future. They are concerned with meeting his needs and wants, and fostering his growth to maturity.

Which of the following statements is not true about an engineer?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions by selecting the most appropriate options.

Mathematics is the language in which the Book of Nature is written: Mathematics is the queen of sciences. It is universally agreed that mathematics is the backbone of science and technology. For without Mathematics the engineer is but an artist or a sculptor. He can build the bridge, attest to its form and beauty, but without Mathematics he cannot guarantee its reliability to serve the purpose for which it is built. Mathematics is indeed the science of sciences. It is also the art of all arts. It is right, legitimate and defensible to consider Mathematics as an art. The poet, the musician, the artist and the mathematician have a lot in common. Fundamental to all their studies and works is their common interest in the logical study related to concepts and objects to form patterns which will produce beauty, harmony and order. Thus, the poet arranges words to produce a pattern called poetry; the musician arranges sounds to produce a pattern called music; the artist arranges colours to produce a pattern called painting and the mathematician arranges abstract ideas into a pattern, using symbols, to produce equations. Each of these patterns-the poem, the music, the painting and the equation must stand up to the test of the same order, harmony and beauty. So if mathematics is not an art, what is art?
