Q1 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions that follow:-
All Great Thinkers live and move on a high plane of thought. It is only there they can breathe freely. It is only in contact with sprits like themselves they can live harmoniously and attain that serenity which comes from ideal companionship. The studies of all great thinkers must range along the highest attitude of human thoughts. I cannot remember the name of any illuminative genius who did not drink his inspiration from fountains of ancient Greek and Hebrew writers: or such among the moderns as were pupils in ancient thoughts and in turn became masters in their own .The magnificent ideals that have ever haunted the human mind are splintered into atoms by contact with life’s realities. You will notice that your first sensation after reading a great book is one of melancholy and dissatisfaction. The ideas ; sentiments, expressions are so far beyond those of ordinary working that you cannot turn aside from one to another without an acute sensation and consciousness of the contrast. A habitual meditation on the vast problems that underline human life , and are knit into a human destinies – thoughts of immortality of the littleness of mere man of the greatness of man’s soul of the splendours of the universe that are invisibly to the ordinary traffickers in the street, as the vastness of St.Peter’s is to the spider that weaves her web in a corner of the dome--- these things don’t fit men to understand the average human being or tolerate with patience therefore why such thinkers fly to the solitude of their own thoughts and if they care to present their views in prose or verse to the world, that these views take a melancholy setting from” the pale cast of thought” in which they were engendered.

It is hot and you want a healthy option to cool down but the thought of going through countless fine-printed food labels makes your head spin some more. Unless you are very active and combust calories effortlessly, having water is the best bet. There are no unsafe limits ,so no matter how much you have , it only does you good. Whether it is sourced from a mountain spring, an alpine lake ,glacier or the municipal water supply as long it is filtered and free of impurities it is without doubt the healthiest hydrating option . Adding anything to water complicates things almost at once . Sugar adds calories ,salt makes blood pressure rise ,artificial sweeteners make bones brittle and the list is unspeakable .
