Source 1

“In reality, there are as many religious as there are individuals; but those who are conscious of the spirit

of nationality do not interfere with one another’s religion. In no part of the world are one nationality and

one religion synonymous terms; nor has it ever been so in India.”

--Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hind Swaraj, (Indian Home Rule), Chapter X, 1909

“When I read Mr. Dutt’s Economic History of India, I wept; and as I think of it again my heart sickens.

It is machinery that has impoverished India. It is difficult to measure the harm that Manchester* has

done to us. It is due to Manchester that Indian handicraft has all but disappeared.”

--Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hind Swaraj, (Indian Home Rule), Chapter XIX, 1909

*Manchester was a British manufacturing center

Source 2

“We had many difficulties to face from January 1939 right up to the declaration of war*…. We had to

face ill-treatment and oppression to Muslims in the Congress-governed provinces. … Before the war was

declared the greatest danger to the Muslims of India was the possible inauguration of the federal scheme

in the central Government. We know what machinations were going on. But the Muslim League was

stoutly resisting them in every direction… After the war was declared, the Viceroy naturally wanted help

from the Muslim League. It was only then that he realised that the Muslim League was a power. For it

will be remembered that up to the time of the declaration of war, the Viceroy never thought of me but of

Gandhi and Gandhi alone…. it challenged their sole authority to speak on behalf of India. And it is quite

clear from the attitude of Mr. Gandhi and the High Command that they have not yet recovered from that

shock.”

--Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Presidential Address to the Muslim League, 1940

*World War II

“At long last, the battle has ended! And thus, Ghana, your beloved country is free forever!

...from now on, today, we must change our attitudes and our minds. We must realise that from now on we

are no longer a colonial but free and independent people.

But also, as I pointed out, that also entails hard work. That new Africa is ready to fight his own battles

and show that after all the black man is capable of managing his own affairs.

We are going to demonstrate to the world, to the other nations, that we are prepared to lay our foundation

– our own African personality....

We have won the battle and again rededicate ourselves... Our independence is meaningless unless it is

linked up with the total liberation of Africa.

I want to ask you to pause for only one minute and give thanks to Almighty God for having led us

through our difficulties, imprisonments, hardships and sufferings, to have brought us to our end of

troubles today....

Ghana is free forever!”

Questions 10-13 refer to the passage below.

“Twenty-seven years ago, as Emperor of Ethiopia, I mounted the rostrum in Geneva, Switzerland, to

address the League of Nations and to appeal for relief from the destruction which had been unleashed

against my defenseless nation, by the Fascist invader [Benito Mussolini]... My words went unheeded, but

history testifies to the accuracy of the warning that I gave in 1936.

Today, I stand before the world organization which has succeeded to the mantle discarded by its

discredited predecessor. In this body is enshrined the principle of collective security which I

unsuccessfully invoked at Geneva. Here, in this Assembly, reposes the best - perhaps the last - hope for

the peaceful survival of mankind....

... this is the ultimatum presented to us: secure the conditions whereby men will entrust their security to a

larger entity, or risk annihilation; persuade men that their salvation rests in the subordination of national

and local interests to the interests of humanity, or endanger man's future....

Ethiopia supports the atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty as a step towards this goal, even though only a

partial step. Nations can still perfect weapons of mass destruction by underground testing. There is no

guarantee against the sudden, unannounced resumption of testing in the atmosphere.

Here is our opportunity and our challenge. If the nuclear powers are prepared to declare a truce, let us

seize the moment to strengthen the institutions and procedures which will serve as the means for the

pacific settlement of disputes among men.”

Questions 19 -21 refer to the passage below.

“Since World War II 'information' has emerged as a fundamental scientific and technological concept

applied to phenomena ranging from black holes to DNA, from the organization of cells to the processes of

human thought, and from the management of corporations to the allocation of global resources....

Theories based on the concept of 'information' have so permeated modern culture that it now is widely

taken to characterize our times. We live in an 'information society', an 'age of information'. Indeed, we

look to models of information processing to explain our own patterns of thought.... Since the 1950s the

computer has replaced traditional methods of accounting and record-keeping by a new industry of data

processing.... Hence, the history of the computer and of computing is central to that of information

science and technology, providing a thread by which to maintain bearing while exploring the ever-

growing maze of disciplines and subdisciplines that claim information as their subject.”

Questions 32-34 refer to passage below.

“Gandhi’s contribution was an approach which worked (as it continues to) where there is a common

principle and an expectation of civil disobedience; where there is a legal framework in which courts have

at least a pretense of objectivity; where there is a standard of common decency; where there is a free press

to publicize injustice and a population concerned about it; where an opponent’s ranks contains

sympathizers free to express their views. In the case of India, Gandhi was operating in a situation where

the British had already conceded the principle of ultimate independence…

Gandhi’s most enduring legacy is the idea of the primacy of the individual, that personal conscience has

as much validity as a decision by state…Every modern protest movement owes something to

him…Gandhi’s enduring view was that people of conscience not only can, but should, take action and

they continue to invoke him as they do it.”

Democratic Kampuchea (DK)…expelled 150,000 Vietnamese residents from Cambodia, killed all 10,000

who stayed, and carried out larger, less systematic [killings]…against the country’s Chinese and Muslim

minorities. In all, 1.7 million people died in four years. Upgrading the traditional term for routing

enemies, DK’s slogan became kchat kchay os roling (‘scatter to the last’). Targeting history too, the

“All the day long,

Whether rain or shine,

She's a part of the assembly line.

She's making history,

Working for victory,

Rosie the Riveter.

Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage,

Sitting up there on the fuselage.

That little girl will do more than a male will do…

There's something true about,

Red, white, and blue about,

Rosie the Riveter."

Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb, songwriters,

Rosie the Riveter, 1942

Source 2

“National comrades, men and women! Germans on the land! We are at the beginning of the fourth year

of the war, and today we celebrate the German harvest thanksgiving. Today we cannot celebrate the

nation’s festivals in the scope and manner to which we were formerly accustomed.

Today great masses of the German country folk cannot appear before the Fuehrer through their

deputations, to bring him a harvest wreath and fruits of the last harvest, because we are in a war, in the

most difficult war of the German people, and in this war there is only one thing: Work, work, fighting and

work, and again fighting and work….

But, my dear German comrades, one thing more I should like to say here quite plainly. When a national

community is being created, and when an entire nation, as a totality and a single entity, must win a victory

and must secure its freedom, then the individual, too, must be ready to submit to more or less stringent

limitations on his personal freedom.

This limitation of personal freedom is necessary even in peacetimes. In democracy, to be sure, there is

always one thing only-freedom of the individual. That is what we National Socialists call license. If every

one may do as he likes, if no one has to have any consideration for his neighbors or his relatives, and even

gets ahead by doing so, then you can imagine how such a community gets along.”

Questions 50-53 refer to the excerpt below.

“Comrades, our gathering has great historic significance. It testifies to the collapse of all the illusions

cherished by bourgeois democrats. Not only in Russia, but in the most developed capitalist countries of

Europe, in Germany for example, civil war is a fact.

The bourgeois are terror-stricken at the growing workers’ revolutionary movement. This is

understandable if we take into account that the development of events since the imperialist war inevitably

favors the workers’ revolutionary movement, and that the world revolution is beginning and growing in

intensity everywhere.

The people are aware of the greatness and significance of the struggle now going on. All that is needed is

to find the practical form to enable the proletariat to establish its rule. Such a form is the Soviet

system with the dictatorship of the proletariat. Dictatorship of the proletariat—until now these words were

Latin to the masses. Thanks to the spread of the Soviets throughout the world this Latin has been

translated into all modern languages; a practical form of dictatorship has been found by the working

people. The mass of workers now understand it thanks to Soviet power in Russia, thanks to the Spartacus

League in Germany and to similar organizations in other countries, such as, for example, the Shop

Stewards Committees in Britain. All this shows that a revolutionary form of the dictatorship of the

proletariat has been found, that the proletariat is now able to exercise its rule…

Even though the bourgeoisie are still raging, even though they may kill thousands more workers, victory

will be ours, the victory of the worldwide Communist revolution is assured.”

Questions 54-55 are based on the excerpt below.

“Twenty years earlier the Rockefeller Foundation, in cooperation with the Mexican Government, had

embarked on a wheat development programme that, in the intervening period, had increased Mexico's

per-acre wheat yields by 250 percent. One of the great barriers to increased grain production in hot

countries is that when traditional plants are heavily fertilized, they shoot up to an unnatural height and

then collapse. If they are grown closely enough together to prevent this, one plant shades the other and the

yield is reduced. During the Mexican experiments, however, and after tests involving 40,000 crossbreeds

of plant, it was found that if a short-stemmed grain were thickly sown at the right depth and adequately

irrigated, it could take massive doses of fertilizer without becoming lanky and give spectacularly high

yields.

In 1962 the International Rice Research Institute was set up in the Philippines to find a rice as miraculous

as the Pitic 62 and Penjamo 62 wheats, rice being at that time the main item of diet for six out of every ten

people in the world.”
