Q.43-47)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

Politcal freedom and economic justice are two sides of democracy: both are essential. We should lay stress on the improvements of the economic conditions of the people as well as on liberty and freedom. No society can claim to be democratic if it does not permit political liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of choice between parties, and opportunities of peaceful and orderly changes of Government.

In the context of the international situation, there are many misunderstandings. We can build peace even on the basis of misunderstandings. When once peace is built, misunderstandings will diminish.

We, in our country, are now engaged in the enterprise of effecting a social and economic revolution. The word ‘revolution’ need not scare us. It does not mean barricades and bloodshed. It means only speedy and drastic changes. We are interested not only in our objectives but in our methods; not only in what we achieve but in how we achieve. Through peaceful, constitutional processes we won our independence and integrated our country: and new we are striving to raise the material standards of our people. Even if we meet defeat in our attempt to replace force by persuasion, the politics of power by the politics of brotherhood, we are convinced that the defeat will be only temporary, for goodness is rooted in the nature of things: kindness and love are as contagious as unkindness and hate.

Q.43) Which of the following traits of human nature are considered to be contagious?

A. Honesty

D. Hate
