Q1. Read the following text critically and answer the questions given below.

In its widest sense, government means the framework and rules by which decisions that affect a community as a whole are arrived at and carried out. In a narrower sense, however, government is a person or body of persons giving effect to the framework or rules. There are different forms of governments depending on the manner in which a government is run such as monarchies, military dictatorships, civilian dictatorships and democracies. Monarchs, military men and civilian dictators often wield unlimited power which might result into tyranny and despotism. A democratically elected government exercises power and authority granted by the constitution and traditions.

A government is good, if it aims for the good of the people . The primary objectives for which such a government comes into existence are to maintain the rule of law look after its citizens without discrimination and fulfill their needs and work toward the establishment of welfare programs for the people. Only a government that has come into existence as an expression of the will of the people and adopts policies for the welfare of the people will have popular support. For this reason, a democratically elected government is certainly preferable to a benevolent dictatorship.

In the real world there are three important qualities which citizens look for in their governments. The first is that the government should be representative; the second, that it should provide a reasonable degree of stability; and the third that it should look after the wellbeing of its citizens.

The citizens of a country may sometimes demand policies that are short-sighted and disastrous in the long run. This is often seen in regard to economic policies. A good government is one that formulates and implements policies that are beneficial for the citizens and also ensure future prosperity of the country. That is to say, a good government should be expected to think for the future as well as act for the present requirements - about defense, economic development, education and employment.

A good government should rise above the narrow views of the people and take measures, however unpopular and repugnant they may be when they are taken, to solve present problems and ensure a bright future. It must be prepared to accept constructive criticism and enter into a dialogue with dissident groups with a view to making its policies and measures acceptable. It always aims at the good of the people. The men and women forming such a government are persons who have the support of the people with them in good or bad times.

To conclude, it may be said that a representative government i.e. a democratically elected government which is stable and which can act with circumspection and vision for the prosperity and welfare of its citizens as well as for the future of the nation as a whole is to be considered a good government. A good government should therefore take cognizance of what years ago Jean- Paul Rousseau wrote in his Du Contract Social about the ultimate source of authority of a good government. According to him, the government is only an agent of the people in whom vests the ultimate source of authority and for whom the government is functioning.

1.What is the author’s purpose for writing this article?
2. Write a suitable title for this paragraph.

Explanation:

1. The main purpose of the article is to enlighten readers about what an ideal government is and the various forms of government. We can make this assertion because from the article we notice several attempts at explaining the function of governments. For example, we are told, "There are different forms of governments depending on the manner in which a government is run such as monarchies, military dictatorships, civilian dictatorships, and democracies."

2. The title could read; What is a good government?

We can this suggestion because the article continuously informs readers about what is to be expected of a government that is good. For example, the phrase "a good government" appears about six (6) times throughout the article.

Why does Amy’s mother cook all her favorite foods even though she knows it will embarrass Amy?
She wants Amy to remember who she is and her culture.
She wants to keep Amy away from Robert.
She wants Robert’s family to come back more often.
She wants Amy to pretend that she does not like all her favorite foods.

"Well, I don't want any TO-DAY, at any rate.” "You couldn't have it if you DID want it,” the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day.” "It MUST come sometimes to ‘jam to-day,’” Alice objected. "No, it can't,” said the Queen. "It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know.” This details from this excerpt provide evidence that the Queen is a kind ruler. the people of the mirror world enjoy jam.

Boston Tea Party

Eyewitness Account:

Joshua Wyeth


Joshua Wyeth was only 16 years old when he was a participant in the

Boston Tea Party. He reported the details of his adventurous night to a local

pastor. This first-hand account was found and published in a book edited by

Francis S. Drake. The full title of the book is Tea Leaves: Being a Collection

of Letters and Documents Relating to the Shipment of Tea to the American

Colonies in the year 1773, by the East India Tea Company.

1 Our numbers were between twenty-eight and thirty. . . . I had but a

few hours warning of what was intended to be done. We first talked of

[setting fire to] the ships, but feared the fire would [spread] to the

town. We then proposed sinking them, but dropped that [idea]

through fear that we should alarm the town before we could [finish.]

2 We had [noticed] that very few persons remained on board the

ships. So, we finally concluded that we could take possession of them,

and discharge the tea into the harbor without danger or opposition.

To prevent discovery, we agreed to [dress] to resemble Indians as

much as possible. [We smeared] our faces with grease and lamp black

or soot, and should not have known each other except by our voices.

Our most intimate friends among the spectators had not the least

knowledge of us.

3 At the appointed time, we met in an old building at the head of the

wharf. We fell in one after another, as if by accident, so as not to excite

suspicion. We placed a sentry at the head of the wharf, another in the

middle, and one on the bow of each ship as we took possession. We

boarded the ship moored by the wharf1

. Our leader, in a very stern and

resolute2

manner, ordered the captain and crew to open the hatchways.

[He ordered them to] hand us the hoisting tackle and ropes, assuring

them that no harm was intended them. The captain asked what we

intended to do. Our leader told him that we

were going to unload the tea, and ordered him

and the crew below. They instantly obeyed.

4 Some of our number then jumped into the

hold, and passed the chests to the tackle. As

they were hauled on deck, others knocked

them open with axes. Others raised them to

the railing and discharged their contents

overboard. All who were not needed for

discharging this ship went on board the

others, [tied] them to the wharf, where the

same ceremonies were repeated. We were

merry, in an undertone, at the idea of making

so large a cup of tea for the fishes. [But we]

were as still as the nature of the case would

admit, using no more words than were

absolutely necessary. We [moved quickly]

from the moment we left our dressing-room.

I never worked harder in my life.



Boston Tea Party Eyewitness Account:

John Andrews

1 Inhabitants: people who live in a certain area

2 Infernal: awful; related to the mythical world of the dead


3 They say the actors were Indians from Narragansett. To [an] observer

they appeared as such, being clothed in blankets, with their heads

[covered], and copper-colored [faces]. They were each armed with a

hatchet or axe, or pair of pistols, [and] their jargon3

was unintelligible to

all but themselves. Not the least insult was offered to any person save one

Captain Connor. [He] had [ripped] up the lining of his coat and waistcoat

under the arms, and . . . had nearly filled them with tea. [When

discovered, he] was handled pretty roughly. They not only stripped him

of his clothes, but gave him a coat of mud, with a severe bruising into the

bargain. Nothing but their utter aversion4

to making any disturbance

prevented his being tarred and feathered.
