Good Evening
Dear Candidate,
Purpose : To prepare for written exam of SBI JUNIOR ASSOCIATES (CLERK)/ SBI PO.
Read the following Paragraph and answer the questions given below:
People moan about poverty as a great evil and it seems to be an accepted belief that if people had plenty of money, they would be happy, and get more out of life. As a rule there is more genuine satisfaction in life and more is obtained from life in the humble cottage of the poor man than in the palace of rich men, who are attended by servants and governesses at a later stage. At the same time I am glad to think they do not know what they have missed. It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is, how free from perplexing care and social envies and jealousies, how loving and united the members are in the common interest of supporting the family that I sympathise with the rich man’s boy and congratulate the poor man’s son. It is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so many strong eminent self-reliant men have always sprung. If you read the list of the “Immortals who were not born to die” you will find that most of them have been poor.
Questions : 1. What is the popular notion about poverty?
2. Where can one get more genuine satisfaction in life ?
3. Why does the author pity the rich man’s boy?
4. (a) They do not know what they have missed. (Make it affirmative)
4 (b) People moan about poverty. (Frame a wh-type)
5. Find two other words in the passage with similar meanings to ‘confusing’ and self - dependent.
6. How has the author compared rich with the poor? What is his conclusion?
Answers:
1 Ans. The popular notion about poverty is that it is a great evil.
2 Ans. One can get more genuine satisfaction in life in the humble cottage of the poor man.
3 Ans. The author pities the rich man’s boy because he does not know the sweetness, happiness and purity of honest poverty.
4 Ans. (a) They are ignorant of what they have missed.
(b) What do people moan about?
5 Ans. The word ‘perplexed’ means ‘confusing’ and the word ‘self - reliant’ means self - dependent.
6 Ans. The author feels that more genuine satisfaction is obtained from life in the humble cottage of the poor man than in the palace of rich men who are attended by servants and governesses. He knows first hand how sweet and happy andpure the home of honest poverty is. The poor man is free from social envies. The members of a poor family are united, loving and share a common interest in being supportive to each other. The rich boy does not know these pleasures.
All The Best.
