JEMAT Entrance Test Sample Question Paper – English


Directions : Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer out of the four alternatives and choose E if none of them is true.

Passage 1
As medium of literary expression, the common language is inadequate. Like the man of letters, the scientist finds it necessary to µgive a purer sense to the words of the tribe¶. But the purity of scientific language is not the same as the purity of literary language. The aim of the scientist is to say only one thing at a time, and to say it unambiguously and with the greatest possible clarity. To achieve this, he simplifies and jargonizes. In other words, he uses the vocabulary and syntax of common speech in such a way that each phrase is susceptible to only one interpretation; and when the vocabulary and syntax of common speech are too imprecise for this purpose he invites a new technical language, or jargon specially designed to express the limited meaning with which he is professionally concerned. At its most perfectly pure. Scientific language ceases to the matter of words and terms into mathematics. The literary artist purifies the language of the tribe in a radically different way. The scientist¶s aim, as we have seen is to say one thing, and only one thing at a time. This most emphatically, is not the aim of the literary artist. Human life is lived simultaneously in many levels and has many meanings. Literature is a device for reporting the multifarious facts and expressing their various significances. When the literary artist undertakes to give a pure sense to the words of his tribe, he does so with the express purpose of creating a language capable of conveying, not the single meaning of some particular science, but the multiple significance of human experience, its most private was well as on its more public levels.
