DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.
Where do you think revealing raiment’s, weird slang and our youths’ dismaying attitudes come from? Very obviously they are the results of attempts to emulate the western world. Probe into the subject, delve into its various effects you will be shocked at how rapidly Western culture is corroding our culture exclusively ours, exclusively to be proud of, to rust. These spicy sauces of Western culture surely flatter the palate, but in course of time won’t they canker it too?
Western countries do have desirable elements worth copying. But are we taking in those positive elements? No, we seem to be merely diving into the external glitter of the West. The root of all this misfortune lies in the soil nourished by the word ‘modern’.
What does ‘modern’ mean to us? Do we become modern by wearing outrageous clothes that make us look like aliens? Does modernism set in by profuse use of western slang? Life for today’s youth means rocketing in BMWs or piercing flesh, late night parties, and black nail enamel and red mane. That is what a good percent of our younger generation have become, as a result of the obsessive aping of the glittering West.
26) What is the meaning of the word ‘raiment’s’ used in the first line of the paragraph?
A) Attitude
B) Wealth
C) Clothes
D) Cars
27) Out of the given options, what would be the most appropriate Title of the passage?
A) Pride in national heritage
B) Patriotic youth
C) Playing to Western Tunes
D) None of the above

B) A kind of fight or combat
C) Accessories
D) None of the above
29) What does the phrase ‘obsessive aping of the glittering West’, used at the last of the paragraph suggest?
A) Hatred for western culture.
B) Blindly copying the west without being able to distinguish clearly between the positive and negative aspects of western culture.
C) A desire to settle abroad.
D) None of the above.
30) Why does the author describe the clothes as ‘outrageous’?
A) Because the clothes are so unusual or strange that they seem to shock the onlooker.
B) Because the clothes are so attractive that whoever sees it gets carried away.
C) Because the clothes are so expensive and gaudy that everyone feels envious.
