Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:
Alfred Nobel was a sickly boy in his early years. A weak spine often forced him to rest for days in bed. He was too frail to participate in outdoor games. But as is often seen, the loneliness and moodiness that his condition engendered made him determined to seek comfort in other directions. He decided to develop his mental faculties. He read books voraciously on all subjects - science, literature, history, and philosophy. He mastered four foreign languages: Russian, French, German, and English.
His determination and ability prompted his father to send him on a world trip to acquire knowledge about business, build the right connections, and so on. Accordingly, Alfred set out in 1850 on a two-year tour. He visited Hamburg Copenhagen, Paris, London, and the USA. In July 1852, he joined his father's business and began assisting him in the production of munitions.
The Crimean War (1853-1856) saw the height of the Nobel family's fortunes in Russia. The firm's coffers over-flowed through war orders for armaments. Their specialty was the floating mine, used against enemy ships. Immanuel Nobel developed a method of igniting gunpowder in these mines with the help of a detonator. It consisted of a glass tube that broke in contact with a ship. This allowed sulphuric acid to pour on a mixture of an explosion which in turn ignited the primary charge. But the explosive was not powerful enough to cause serious damage to the big warship. This set both the father and the son to seek more powerful explosives.
The end of the Crimean War in 1856 was a severe setback for the Nobles. Munition orders were abruptly called off. A fire destroyed their factory. With creditors clamouring for the return of their money, Immanuel, after a struggle, declared bankruptcy and returned to Sweden in 1859.

Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:
SHE was a Phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle and way-lay.
I saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin-liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A Creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath;
A Traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Sprit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.
