For question Nos. 11 to 15
An earthquake comes like
a thief in the night, without warning. It was necessary, therefore, to invent
instruments that neither slumbered nor slept. Some devices were quite simple.
One, for instance, consisted of rods of various lengths and thicknesses which
would stand up on end like ninepins. When a shock came it shook the rigid able
upon which these stood. If it were gentle, only the more unstable rods tell. If
it were severe, they all fell. Thus, the rods by falling and by the directions
in which they fell, recorded for the slumbering scientist, the strength of
a shock that was too weak to waken him and the direction from which it came.
But instruments far more
delicate than that were needed if any serious advance was to be made. The ideal
to be aimed at was to devise an instrument that could record with a pen on
paper the movements, of the ground or of the table, as the quake passed by.
While I write my pen moves but the paper keeps still. With practice, no doubt,
I could, in time, learn to write by holding the pen still while the paper
moved. That sounds a silly suggestion, but that was precisely the idea adopted
in some of the early instruments (seismometers) for recording earthquake waves.
But when table, penholder and paper are all moving how is it possible to write
legibly? The key to a solution of that problem lay in an everyday observation.
Why does a person standing in a bus or train tend to fall when a sudden start
is made? It is because his feet move on, but his head stays still.
11. The passage says that early instruments for, measuring earthquakes were:
(a) Faulty in design

Audiences
are in large numbers
(b)
Audiences
are illiterate
(c)
Audience
group is heterogeneous
(d)
Difference
in sender and receivers’ perception
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Sometimes mass
media misleads society because receivers are
heterogeneous because the receivers can be in large or small numbers,
illiterates, or literates.
- Mass media should not mislead the society
just to make the news sensational, to increase their ratings, to
increase their viewership etc. Providing wrong misleading facts or
figures, encouraging favouritism, spreading biased opinions, campaigning
for wrong causes etc will mislead the public even
if they are literates.
- The illiterate even if cannot understand
print media, can follow electronic media like tv or
radio. The culture and societal values must be
preserved since the young generation is mostly hooked to the mass
media.
- Since mass media messages spread like
wildfire in the present days of digital communications,
rumours mills can spread wrong news to any extent. Hence,
the right to freedom to express should not be misused
by the mass media.
