English Quiz for LIC AAO 2019

Directions (1-8): Read the following passage and answer the following questions. Some words are highlighted to help students to answer some of the questions.
The early Elizabethan drama, before the regular playhouses were constructed, permeated a broad gamut of the social life of the times. Nicholas Udall’s plays were school plays enacted by the boys as part of the liberalized school curriculum. In spite of their amateur playing, the boys used to be requisitioned to stage the plays before the royal dignitaries or in the court itself. The early English tragedy had its advent at the Inns of the Court. Gorboduc was written and produced by two lawyers at the Inner Temple. Oxford and Cambridge became important centers for staging Latin drama, so much so that even Queen Elizabeth used to visit the universities to witness the performances. Later, the royal court, with the ostensible purpose of regulating theatre, assumed the function of theatrical organization, providing grants and costumes to several amateur boy groups. John Lyly staged several comedies for Queen Elizabeth and established the genre of Elizabethan comedy. Tragedy, however, could not find patronage either at the royal court or in London. It had to await the advent of adult acting companies and the erection of Public theatres on the outskirts of London. It is in these theatres like the Curtain, the Rose, and the Globe, that the Elizabethan stage came into being, a stage that introduced the plays of Marlowe and Shakespeare.

While the growth of Elizabethan drama as a native tradition was a steady one moving self-assuredly without meekly copying classical models, the same would not have been possible without Elizabethan Drama registering itself as significant European theatre since the Greek drama of the fifth century B.C. In its European phase, Elizabethan theatre not only integrated within itself various elements of classical drama but also the Greek formulations about comedy and tragedy. The task for the Elizabethans was not only to be forcefully English but also thoughtfully European and distinctively Elizabethan.

The Latin form, with its division into five acts, of the plays of Terence and Plautus structured English romantic comedy right from Ralph Roister Doister. The plays abounded in classical themes like love, intrigue and friendship and character types like the braggart lover, the parasite servant, and the scheming old man. The comedy developed into two distinct traditions of the romantic and the critical comedy. Beginning with Udall’s Ralph Roister Doister, the romantic comedy grows through the court plays of Lyly like Compaspe (1581), Mother Bombie (1590) and Endimion (1583), George Peele’s The Arraignment of Paris (1584) and Robert Greene’s Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay (1590) and culminates in Shakespeare’s comedies like A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595), As You Like It (1600) and Twelfth Night (1601). Primarily meant for aristocratic entertainment, romantic comedy pursues the theme of love—love as a blend of sentiment, foible, eccentricity, artifice, dedication and self-centredness. Romantic love is more in the nature of the ludicrous rather than the ridiculous. Melodramatic to the core and farcical in treatment, this comedy, set in a pastoral or old-world ambience, evokes a romantic mood and an atmosphere of exhilaration, celebration, chivalry and enchantment. With song and imaginative idealism, romantic comedy provides an escape route into a world of fancy and imagination from the grim realities of life.

The other tradition of comedy belongs to the redoubtable Ben Jonson who presented what are called the comedies of humour like Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone (1606) and The Alchemist (1610). Essentially city comedies, Jonson evolves his plays as social purgatives to the prevalent moral degradation. Funny yet serious, the laughter evoked is carefully controlled. Falling back on the tradition of rogue fiction, Jonson’s protagonists are rouges who succeed until the end by their ability to gull others for their avaricious needs. Their eventual failure is a moral corrective driven home forcefully by the playwright.

 Only (I)
 Both (II) and (III)
 All of (I), (II) and (III)
 None out of (I), (II) and (III)

Q3. What were the idiosyncrasies of the comedies of humour presented by Ben Jonson?

 The leading character used to deceive others to satiate their greed.
 The plays were evolved as social purgatives to the prevalent moral degradation.
 Options (a) and (c)
 Options (a), (b) and (c)

Q4. What does the author mean by the sentence ‘Romantic love is more in the nature of the ludicrous rather than the ridiculous’?
 The drama of the Romantic love genre used to be melodramatic and funny instead of something that deserve derision.
 The drama of the Romantic love genre used to be absurd deserving disdain instead of being funny.

This is made --------3-------- by Science on a Sphere (SOS), a spherical display system developed by the U.S. scientific agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and installed at the Kerala State Science and Technology Museum (KSSTM) at PMG here to help people -------4------- earth-related scientific processes better. The SOS is an educational tool in which real-time planetary or space data are -------5-------- into visual images and shown on a suspended globe rather than a flat screen. Computers and projectors are used to project animated images of climate change, atmospheric storms, ocean temperature, earth’s geology, or space on the sphere. The illusion is of the Earth --------6--------- on its axis as one watches from space. Complex processes can thus be --------7--------- in a simple format, be it air traffic movement across the earth or how the outer space appears from the Milky Way. The SOS includes a 68-inch carbon fibre sphere suspended from the ceiling and held in place with an invisible suspension system. Four video projectors are --------8--------- at 90 degree increments around the sphere, which act as the screen. Each projector is --------9-------- for one quadrant of screen space and projects images seamlessly. So, unlike a photograph or even a video, this can help one visualize the famed Olympus Mons or the polar ice caps on Mars, understand how clouds form and move with the wind or how ---------10--------- the Indonesian region is to earthquakes. Using the SOS datasets, which are divided into categories and come from various organisations, a vast number of shows can be projected.
