Directions (Q.1-15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Certain words have been printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the

questions.

Capitalism is a great slave, but a pathetic master. This truth unfortunately gets lost in our

chase for that elusive dream … especially in the West, the land that has been marketed as the land of

the dreams – the great Western dream. It’s the dream of being independent masters of our lives of

making big bucks and being happy – even if that happiness is being bought by money which all of

them chase out there. No doubt, the West, on its part, has been fairly successful in creating material

materialism. Expectedly, this materialism comes at a cost that the World is paying today. This is the

reason why we have millions dying of curable diseases in Africa and other underdeveloped countries,

while the rich grow richer. Their growth will be reduced, if they were to start thinking of the poor. So
