Direction (Q. No. 61 65) Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option

I was a chef in the Taj banquet kitchen when the gun shots started that night. Initially, the news was that it was an internal gang war in a neighbourhood nearby and that it would die down soon. It was only at about 10:30 or 11:00 P.M. that we understood the magnitude of what was going on. We were seven chefs in the kitchen that night, not one of whom left the Taj despite knowing all exit points. By then the shootout had happened at the Wasabi restaurant and all those who had survived were pouring into the banquet hall and kitchen where we were working.

As soon as we had heard about the shoot out we has prepared sandwiches for our surviving guests which we then handed out. After this we entered the corridor to escort our guests out of the hotel through the back entrance. We had successfully helped a few guests when I saw the left profile of a terrorist in a red cap, who began shooting. I was standing next to a refrigerator, when my head chef and his assistant chef both got shot. There was chaos, panic and fear as our guests started running everywhere – but by then they had opened fire in all directions.

All of a sudden, everything went quiet and that silence was the worst. I tried looking around for survivors, but it was just me. I stayed there for a few hours, untill I realized that no help would be coming any time soon. I looked at the refrigerator where I had been only a while ago and it had three bullet holes in it ! – I had narrowly escaped death, but it was horrifying to see that my guests and colleagues had not been as lucky. I won’t look back on that day as just a terrorist attack but a day when many brave individuals looked death in the eye to help others.

Direction (Q.No. 75-79): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option –

Self directed learning, in its broadest meaning, describes a process in which individuals take the initiative with or without the help of others, in diagnosing their learning needs, formulating learning goals, identifying resources for learning, choosing and implementing learning strategies and evaluating learning outcomes. Thus, it is important to attain new knowledge easily and skillfully for the rest of his or her life.

What is the need for self directed learning? One reason is that there is convincing evidence that people, who take the initiative in learning, learn more things and learn better than people who sit at the feet of teachers passively waiting to be taught. The second reason is that selfdirected learning is more in tune with our natural processes of psychological development; an essential aspect of maturing is developing the ability to take increasing responsibility of our own lives to become increasingly self directed. The third reason is that many of the new developments in education put a heavy responsibility on the learners to take a good deal of initiative in their own learning. To meet the challenges in today’s instructive environment, self- directed learning is most essential.

75. There is need for self-directed learning because –
(A) it is less challenging

(C) it is more cost effective method
