Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
What can be the use of a poetry that has no true subject except the poet's own selfhood? The traditional use of poetry in the Western world has been
instruction through delight, where teaching has meant the common truths or common deceptions of societal tradition, and where esthetic pleasure has
meant a fulfillment of expectations founded upon past joys of the same design.
But an individual psyche has its own accidents, which it needs to call truths, and its own necessity for self‐recognition, which requires the pleasures of
originality, even if those pleasures depend upon a kind of lying against time, and against the achievements of the past. The use of such poetry demands to
be seen in a deidealized way, if it is to be seen more truly.
‐ Harold Bloom, “The Use of Poetry”

Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow:
No worst, there is none.
No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
My cries heave, herds‐long; huddle in a main, a chief
Woe, wórld‐sorrow; on an áge‐old anvil wince and sing—
Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No lingering!
Let me be fell: force I must be brief."'
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no‐man‐fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.
‐ Gerard Manley Hopkins

1) Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
There is a question whether advertising induces demand for an individual company's product more or less elastic. The
evidence indicates that the advertising of brands tends to make their demands relatively inelastic for varying periods of
time. The data which support this condition are found in the relatively rigid prices of many advertised articles. That brand
advertising would have this effect is natural, for an objective of brand advertising is to build consumer preferences. Some
consumers will stick by a brand even though its price relationship with competing brands are disturbed. Clearly, the
establishment of strong brand preference has led some manufacturers to act as though these preferences made the demand
for their brands relatively inelastic. Rarely have they tested the inelasticity of their brands by raising and holding up their
prices when competitors have failed to follow similar procedures. Yet, numerous examples were found in which
manufacturers in periods of depression held their prices rigid while prices generally and the prices of some competitors
were being lowered. In all such instances price competition was found to come into play sooner or later, and either demand
shifted to sellers with lower prices or a reduction in price was forced. The quickness with which price competition comes
into play varies in different product fields. In the fields of proprietary remedies, the highly individualised nature of the
branded products and the tendency of consumers to build strong attachments to brands has given these brands an inelastic
demand over relatively long periods of time. Even in these instances, however, price competition has
eventually developed.

There is a question whether advertising induces demand for an individual company's product more or less elastic. The
evidence indicates that the advertising of brands tends to make their demands relatively inelastic for varying periods of
time. The data which support this condition are found in the relatively rigid prices of many advertised articles. That brand
advertising would have this effect is natural, for an objective of brand advertising is to build consumer preferences. Some
consumers will stick by a brand even though its price relationship with competing brands are disturbed. Clearly, the
establishment of strong brand preference has led some manufacturers to act as though these preferences made the demand
for their brands relatively inelastic. Rarely have they tested the inelasticity of their brands by raising and holding up their
prices when competitors have failed to follow similar procedures. Yet, numerous examples were found in which
manufacturers in periods of depression held their prices rigid while prices generally and the prices of some competitors
were being lowered. In all such instances price competition was found to come into play sooner or later, and either demand
shifted to sellers with lower prices or a reduction in price was forced. The quickness with which price competition comes
into play varies in different product fields. In the fields of proprietary remedies, the highly individualised nature of the
branded products and the tendency of consumers to build strong attachments to brands has given these brands an inelastic
demand over relatively long periods of time. Even in these instances, however, price competition has
eventually developed.
