Comprehension Passages
Anxiety and conscience is a pair of powerful dynamos. Of course, I can only speak for myself:
Between them, they have ensured that one shall work hard, but they cannot ensure that one shall work
at anything worthwhile. They are blind forces which drive but do not direct. Fortunately, I have also
been moved by a third motive– the wish to see and understand. Curiosity is another motive for action. It
is also one of the distinctive characteristics of human nature and contrasted with the natures of nonhuman
animals. All humans have curiosity in some degree and we also all have it about things which are
of no practical use. Curiosity may be focused on anything in the universe, but the spiritual reality of the
phenomena should be the ultimate objective of all curiosity for it to be fruitful. Thanks to my mother my
approach to this ultimate objective is through the story of human affairs.

(a) Animals are as curious as human beings
(b) Curiosity is the only motive for action

Q4. According to the author
(a) Those who have little curiosity are curious about unimportant things.
(b) Apart from humans no other no other living beings have the gift of curiosity
(c) The highest form of curiosity can be satisfied by study of human affairs alone
(d) Spiritual reality is the ultimate goal of humans through action
Q5. The author subscribes to the view

(b) Curiosity in an inherent family characteristic.
(c) A study of human affairs is the most effective method of satisfying one’s curiosity
