After all, it cannot be denied that even the United States and the Soviet Union are pursing common aims in world affairs, such as peace, disarmament, democracy, technological progress, as well as freedom as understood by each. But that is not preventing them from doing things which might lead to the destruction or near destruction of mankind. Thus, common aims would seem to be very undependable as guarantees for goodwill and co-operation among nations. On the contrary, a frank admission of being equal sinners would at least encourage charity and discourage moral arrogance. That would be a better foundation for integration for international and multi-racial co-operation.<\/p>\n<p>Q1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Commonwealth is characterised by<\/p>\n<p>(a)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0the failure of the constituents to work for the same goals<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0the racial nature of its membership<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0 uniform lack of moral standards<\/p>\n<p>(d) constant redefining of objectives<\/p>\n<p>Q2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The super powers may claim to have the same laudable objectives, but these<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>do not work earnestly to achieve them<\/li>\n<li>undo each other\u2019s efforts<\/li>\n<li>still act against the interest of mankind<\/li>\n<li>do not see them in the right perspective<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Q3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Common goals are desirable, but these<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>do not ensure international co-operation<\/li>\n<li>lead to unnecessary tensions<\/li>\n<li>encourage rivalry between super powers<\/li>\n<li>lead to destruction of mankind<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Q4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 International co-operation can come about if<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>nations become aware of their own failings and discard pride<\/li>\n<li>charitable organizations are encouraged<\/li>\n<li>different races are treated on the basis of equality<\/li>\n<li>nations guilty of immoral actions are exposed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Q5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The thrust of the author\u2019s argument is that<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>the Commonwealth has outlived its utility<\/li>\n<li>membership of the Commonwealth be restricted to the super powers<\/li>\n<li>members are equally responsible for the present state of world politics<\/li>\n<li>international peace and co-operation are<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6><u>In each of the following questions, find out which part of the sentence has an error.
