The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.


Which of the following is false regarding the Queen Victoria statue in Bengaluru?

A) It is made of marble B) It is 11 feet tall
C) It is 111 years old D) It is standing in Queen Victoria park
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) It is standing in Queen Victoria park

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in Parliament, on 14th August 1947. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of all times and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the largely non­violent Indian independence struggle against the British Empire in India.

"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. Freedom and power bring responsibility. The responsibility rests upon the assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. We cannot encourage communalism or narrow­mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought or in action.

To the people of India, whose representatives we are, this is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell".

Select the answer which best reflects Nehru's point of view.

A) Nehru believed that Communalism would not be a problem. B) Nehru believed that Communalism would be a positive force.
C) Nehru believed that Communalism would be dangerous for India. D) Nehru believed that Communalism would make any nation great.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Nehru believed that Communalism would be dangerous for India.

The  Attorney  General  has  the  right  of  audience  in all Courts in India as well as the right to participate in the proceedings of the Parliament, though not to vote.

The   Attorney   General   appears   on   behalf   of Government  of  India  in  all  cases  (including  suits, appeals  and  other  proceedings) in  the  Supreme Court in which Government of India is concerned.

He also represents the Government of India in any reference  made  by  the  President  to  the  Supreme Court under Article 143 of the Constitution.

The  Attorney  General  for  India  is  appointed  by  the President   of   India   under   Article   76(1)   of   the Constitution  of  India  and  holds  office  during  the pleasure  of  the  President.  He  must  be  a  person qualified  to  be appointed  as  a  Judge  of  the Supreme Court. So, statement 4 is incorrect.
