Directions (Qs. 112 to 120): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.

The Big Ben

Every evening, some part of the British Commonwealth hears the chimes of Big Ben, largest of the bells in the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster. The bell is popularly called Big Ben, and it is this bell which chimes out the quarter hours to the people of London. For Britons at sea or living in distant lands, the sound of Big Ben is still a link with home, for the chimes are broadcast each evening by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Big Ben has been chiming out the quarter hours now for more than one-and-a-hlaf centuries. It started chiming on June 11, 1859.

At that time, the Parliament couldn't decide what to name the bell. A light-hearted Member of Parliament called attention, in a speech, to the impressive bulk of Sir Benjamin Hall, Queen Victoria's Chief Lord of the Woods and Forests. "Call it

Big Ben," said the speaker, and the name stuck. Big Ben is 9 feet in diameter, 7 feet 6 inches tall, and the thickness where the hammer strikes in 8.75 inches.

The clock that regulates the chiming of Big Ben keeps good time. In 1939, the Royal Astronomer made a 290-day check on the performance of the clock. He found that during this test, the margin of error was less than two-tenth of a second in 24 hours on 93 days and greater than one second only on 16 of the 290 days.

There was an unexpected lapse on August 12, 1945, and consternation swept through the Ministry of Works. On that dark day, the clock was five minutes slow. A flock of starlings had roosted on the minute hand.

निर्देश (प्र. सं. 136 से 142 ) गद्यांश को पढ़कर निम्नलिखित प्रश्नों में सबसे उचित विकल्प चुनिए ।

जिन्होंने भी बच्चों को पढ़ाने की कोशिश की है चाहे वे माता-पिता - हो या शिक्षक उनके खाते में सफलता के साथ-साथ असफलता - और निराशा भी दर्ज होती है। ऐसे में एक सवाल उठता है कि आखिर इतना मुश्किल क्यों है पढ़ाना ?

एक मुख्य समस्या तो यह है कि पढ़ाने वालों का विश्वास बच्चों की क्षमताओं या योग्यताओं पर काफी कम होता

है। यह बात मैं यूँ ही नहीं कह रही बल्कि एक अभिभावक, एक शिक्षक और एक शिक्षक प्रशिक्षक होने के आधार पर कह रही हूँ।

कई बार मैं उस पाठ को लेकर बच्चों (दूसरी, तीसरी या फिर पाँचवीं के) के सामने खड़ी होती हूँ जो मुझे उन्हें पढ़ाना है। मेरे पास कुछ जानकारी हैं जो मैं बच्चों को देना चाहती हूँ। लेकिन मैं यह जानकारी उन्हें क्यूँ देना चाहती हूँ? क्योंकि मुझे लगता है कि वे इसके बारे में नहीं जानते; इसे जानने में उन्हें मजा आएगा; यह दुनिया के बारे में उनके नजरिए को विस्तृत करने में मदद करेगी; यह उन्हें बेहतर इंसान बनने में मदद करेगी, भले ही थोड़ा-सा ।

लेकिन कभी-कभार पढ़ाना शुरू करने से पहले ही मेरे दिमाग में यह ख्याल बुदबुदाना शुरू कर देता है कि शायद उन्हें वह पहले से ही मालूम हो जो मैं उन्हें बताना चाहती हूँ। तो उन्हें कुछ बताने की बजाए मैं उनके सामने सवाल रख देती हूँ।

(d) बच्चों की योग्यता में विश्वास नहीं किया जाता

138 बच्चों को पढ़ाने से पहले स्वयं से 'क्यों' वाला सवाल पूछना क्यों जरूरी है ?

(a) ताकि हम बच्चों से भी 'क्यों' वाले सवाल पूछ सके

(b) यह पढ़ाने के उद्देश्य और तरीके निर्धारित करने में मदद करता है

(c) इससे पाठ्यक्रम जल्दी खत्म हो जाता है

(d) इससे न पढ़ाने के लिए तार्किक आधार मिल जाता है।

निर्देश (प्र. सं. 143 से 150 ) : गद्यांश को पढ़कर निम्नलिखित प्रश्नों में सबसे उचित विकल्प चुनिए ।

बच्चों को एकदम छुटपन से ही मुँह या खिलौनों से अजीबों-गरीब आवाजें निकाल कर हम बहलाते हैं और बच्चे बहल भी जाते हैं। यही बच्चे जैसे-जैसे बड़े होते जाते हैं, खुद भी चीजों को जोड़-तोड़कर खिलौने बनाने में अपनी रचनात्मक ऊर्जा का खूब इस्तेमाल करते हैं। इसलिए भी यह जरूरी हो जाता है कि बच्चों की इस रचनात्मक ऊर्जा को उभारने के लिए उन्हें भरपूर मौके दिए जाएँ ।
