GENERAL ENGLISH
Note: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below (Q. Nos. 141 to 144)
Character is the base of every man's life. It is the backbone of our existence. A man who
has no character can get no mental or spiritual attainment. M.K. Gandhi attained higher things
and Gautam Buddha found a rare gift in his life on account of character. Character is like a
touchstone which converts even a base metal into gold. In India corruption can be easily
observed in various fields of life. In the field of public administration there is an utter lack of
character. Bribe is gladly accepted by those in power and dishonesty is supposed to be a part of
practical wisdom. Duty is regarded as secondary and personal gains as primary.
