Recede

Indeed, the path she had chosen was full of difficulties. It was almost an unimaginable thing in those days for a woman of means to live a life of independence, but the particular profession for which Florence had trained herself was a disreputable one. Thus, nurses in those days were noted for their immoral conduct. They could hardly be trusted to carry out the simple medical duties. No wonder, therefore, that Florence's parents did not like that their daughter should take up the profession. Florence, however, did not see eye to eye with them. She felt wretched. Her sadness increased.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Dhamaal is a mix of Sufi and African (mostly East African) musical and dance traditions. It refers particularly to the spiritual practices of the Siddis of Gujarat. The Siddis begin almost every Dhamaal song by blowing into a conch shell. This is often followed by the slow playing of East African percussion instruments like the musindo and the slow thumping of feet that marks the onset of the singing and dancing Dhamaals. The ritual of foot thumping is a crucial part of spiritual East African dance and musical traditions. The Siddis are followers of Islam and arrived in India from Muslim communities in East and Central Africa. Dhamaals are performed in memory of their spiritual leaders, among them Bava Gor, Mai Misra, Baba Habash and Sidi Nabi Sultan. According to Siddi folklore they arrived from Ethiopia through the Nubian Valley, Syria and the Indian Ocean to the coast of Kuda in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat. Usually, Dhamaal songs and dances are performed to celebrate the anniversary of the birth and death of spiritual leaders. They are performed in two ways - Dance Dhamaal and Baithaaki Dhamaal. The Baithaaki Dhamaal is performed in the sitting position and the Dance Dhamaal is performed in both sitting and dance positions. During the performance of Baithaaki Dhamaal the focus is more on the lyrics and less on the musical instruments. During Dance Dhamaal the focus is more on the sounds of the instruments. These are often played in a frenzied manner and accompanied by frenzied dance movements. The spiritual songs that are sung during the Dhamaals are known as zikrs.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
‘War is what happens when words fail’ says Margaret Atwood. After war what remains is only unimaginable damage. The innocent lives, livestock and property of citizens will be lost filling every spot with bloodshed and misery. It takes decades to normalise the psychological terrors of the victims of war. The consequences, in one form or the other, will bring bitterness even to the rest of the world. So, it is the responsibility of a nation’s leader to protect his/her own people from the bitter wars. Impactful leadership, commitment to provide peace and comfort to the citizens, diplomatic strength and awareness of happenings around the world and neighbourhood are essential to any nation’s leader. Nowadays, one who wins the battlefield is not the winner, in fact he is the first loser. One who endeavours to prevent war is a real hero. The nations of the modern world are in need of real heroes. So, the words ‘bravery’, ‘tactics’, and ‘generalship’ should be used for those who sacrifice anything for protecting his nation, other nations and mother earth from devastating results of war.
