Antigone was one of the daughters of Oedipus, that tragic figure of male power, who had been cursed by Gods
for mistakenly killing his father and subsequently marrying his mother and assuming the throne of Thebes. After
the death of Oedipus, civil war broke out and a battle was waged in front of the seventh gate of Thebes and his
two sons led opposing factions and at the height of the battle fought and killed each other. Oedipus brother,
Creon, uncle of Antigone, was now undisputed master of the city. Creon resolved to make an example of the
brother Polynices, who had fought against him, by refusing the right of honourable burial. The penalty of death
was promulgated against any, who should defy this order.

Antigone was distraught. Ploynices had been left unburied, unwept, a feast of flesh for keen eyed carrion birds.
Antigone asks her sister Ismene, for it was a challenge to her royal blood. “Now it is time to show whether or not
you are worthy of your royal blood. Is he not my brother and yours? Whether you like it or not, I shall never
desert him-never!” But Ismeme responds, “How could you dare – when Creon has expressly forbidden it?
Antigone, we are women, it is not for us to fight against men. With a touch of bitterness, Antigone releases her
sister from the obligations to help her, but argues she cannot shrug off the burden. “If I die for it what happiness !
Live, if you will live, and defy the holiest of laws of heaven”.

Passage

For many years, ship captains navigating the waters of Antarctica have been intrigued by sightings of emerald
icebergs. Scientists have now explained their mystery. There icebergs are turned upside down. Icebergs are
blocks of ice that have broken off huge slabs of frozen snow called ice shelves. Their green appearance results
from sea water that has frozen at the bottom over hundreds of years. The frozen sea water has dissolved organic
matter which gives it a yellow tone and the fresh water ‘ice shelf’ above has a blue tinge. When the iceberg turns
upside down, it appears green through the visual mix of yellow with the blue from below.

Passage :
Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to find out abnormalities in the
unborn foetus and take remedial action to rectify some defects which would otherwise prove to be fatal to the
child. Though genetic engineering is still at its infancy, scientists can now predict with greater accuracy a genetic
disorder. It is not yet an exact science since they are not in a position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder
will set in. While they have not yet been able to change the genetic order of the gene in germs, they are optimistic
and are holding out that in the near future they might be successful in achieving this feat. They have, however,
acquired the ability in manipulating tissue cells. However, genetic mis-information can sometimes be damaging
for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic information can therefore be abused and its
application in deciding the sex of the foetus and its subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines. But
on this issue geneticists cannot be squarely blamed though the charge has often been levelled at them. It is mainly

Passage:
Most of us use the products of science - railway, aeroplanes, electricity, wireless and thousands of others without
thinking how did they come into existence. We take them for granted, as if we are entitled to them as a matter of
right. And we are very proud of the fact that we live in an advanced age and are ourselves so very advance. Now,
there is no doubt that our age is a very different from previous ages and I think it is perfectly correct to say that it
is far more advanced. But that is a different thing from saying that we as individuals or groups are more
advanced. It would be the height of absurdity to say that because an engine driver can run an engine and Plato or
Socrates could not, the engine driver is more advanced than, or is superior to, Plato or Socrates. But it would be
perfectly correct to say that the engine itself is a more advanced method of locomotion than Plato's chariot was.
