Question:

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Culture is the cultivation of a plant or garden, not the eradication of its roots, it is an understanding of the roots and seeds, their patient care and instructed nourishment. Culture is not knowledge, nor is it art, still less is its acquaintance with literature and art. By culture I mean first of all what the anthropologists mean; the way of life of a particular people living together in one place. That culture is made visible in their arts, in their social system, in their habits and customs, in their religion. It is an aggregate of customs, institutions, manners, standards, tastes, morals and beliefs. Now these are transmitted rather by the family than by the school, hence when family life fails to play its part, we must expect our culture to deteriorate. It is a delusion to think that the maladies of the modern world can be put right by a system of instruction. On the contrary, universal education, by lowering standards, morals and tastes to a common denominator, and by sharpening the wits rather than disciplining character, tends to break down existing checks and balances. Education should be the drawing forth of potential values, it should not be the destruction of the safeguards that tradition places around young egos naturally inclined to willful and precarious flights.

1) the cultivation of a plant or garden by a community

II. The passage suggests that universal education

(1) is, in fact, aggravating the existing problems of the modern world

III. The culture of a community is said to deteriorate when

(1) there is a fall in its educational standards

(2) the family life fails to play its part

(3) there is universal education

IV. The culture of a community is transmitted

(1) more by school than the family

(3) equally by both
