Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 46 to 51 :
Heritage conservation practices improved worldwide after the International Centre for the Study
of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) was established with
UNESCO’s assistance in 1959. The inter-governmental organisation with 126 member states has
done a commendable job by training more than 4,000 professionals, providing practice standards,
and sharing technical expertise. In this golden jubilee year, as we acknowledge its key role in
global conservation, an assessment of international practices would be meaningful to the Indian
conservation movement. Consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and
dissemination are some of the positive lessons to imbibe. Countries such as Italy have
demonstrated that prioritising heritage with significant budget provision pays. On the other hand,
India, which is no less endowed in terms of cultural capital, has a long way to go. Surveys
indicate that in addition to the 6,600 protected monuments, there are over 60,000 equally valuable
heritage structures that await attention. Besides the small group in the service of Archaeological
Survey of India, there are only about 150 trained conservation professionals. In order to
overcome this severe shortage the emphasis has been on setting up dedicated labs and training
institutions. It would make much better sense for conservation to be made part of mainstream
research and engineering institutes, as has been done in Europe.
Increasing funding and building institutions are the relatively easy part. The real challenge is to
redefine international approaches to address local contexts. Conservation cannot limit itself to
enhancing the art-historical value of the heritage structures, which international charters perhaps
overemphasise. The effort has to be broad-based : It must also serve as a means to improving the
quality of life in the area where the heritage structures are located. The first task therefore is to
integrate conservation efforts with sound development plans that take care of people living in the
heritage vicinity. Unlike in western countries, many traditional building crafts survive in India, and
conservation practices offer an avenue to support them. This has been acknowledged by the Indian
National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage charter for conservation but is yet to receive substantial
state support. More strength for heritage conservation can be mobilised by aligning it with the green
building movement. Heritage structures are essentially eco-friendly and conservation could become a
vital part of the sustainable building practices campaign in future.
46. The outlook for conservation heritage changed
(A) after the establishment of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation
and Restoration of Cultural Property.
(B) after training the specialists in the field.
(C) after extending UNESCO’s assistance to the educational institutions.
(D) after ASI’s measures to protect the monuments.
47. The inter-government organization was appreciated because of
(A) increasing number of members to 126.
(B) imparting training to professionals and sharing technical expertise.
(C) consistent investment in conservation.
(D) its proactive role in renovation and restoration.
48. Indian conservation movement will be successful if there would be
(A) Financial support from the Government of India.
(B) Non-governmental organisations role and participation in the conservation movement.
(C) consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and dissemination of
awareness for conservation.
(D) Archaeological Survey of India’s meaningful assistance.
49. As per the surveys of historical monuments in India, there is very small number of
protected monuments. As per given the total number of monuments and enlisted number of
protected monuments, percentage comes to
(A) 10 percent (B) 11 percent (C) 12 percent (D) 13 percent

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions 7 to 12.
The phrase “What is it like ?” stands for a fundamental thought process. How
does one go about observing and reporting on things and events that occupy segments
of earth space ? Of all the infinite variety of phenomena on the face of the earth, how does
one decide what phenomena to observe ? There is no such thing as a complete description
of the earth or any part of it, for every microscopic point on the earth’s surface differs from
every other such point. Experience shows that the things observed are already familiar,
because they are like phenomena that occur at home or because they resemble the abstract
images and models developed in the human mind.
How are abstract images formed ? Humans alone among the animals possess
language; their words symbolize not only specific things but also mental images of classes
of things. People can remember what they have seen or experienced because they attach a
word symbol to them.
During the long record of our efforts to gain more and more knowledge about the
face of the earth as the human habitat, there has been a continuing interplay between things
and events. The direct observation through the senses is described as a percept; the mental
image is described as a concept. Percepts are what some people describe as reality, in
contrast to mental images, which are theoretical, implying that they are not real.
The relation of Percept to Concept is not as simple as the definition implies. It is now
quite clear that people of different cultures or even individuals in the same culture develop
different mental images of reality and what they perceive is a reflection of these
preconceptions. The direct observation of things and events on the face of the earth is so
clearly a function of the mental images of the mind of the observer that the whole idea of
reality must be reconsidered.
Concepts determine what the observer perceives, yet concepts are derived from the
generalizations of previous percepts. What happens is that the educated observer is taught
to accept a set of concepts and then sharpens or changes these concepts during a
professional career. In any one field of scholarship, professional opinion at one time
determines what concepts and procedures are acceptable, and these form a kind of model of
scholarly behaviour.

(A) thought process (B) human behaviour

(C) Reflective (D) Absolute
