“What is Comprehension” 

The literal meaning of ‘Comprehension’ is understanding. It shows how well you have understood a paragraph that you have read or how correctly you have grasped its meaning. To test it, a set of questions is given after a paragraph relating to the subject matter. The answers are contained in the passage. It only requires a bit of intelligence to identify the sentence or sentences that form the answer to a particular question. Write them down in your own hand. It is simple. The exercise of comprehension is meant to assess and better the ability of a student to read and comprehend what he reads. Sometimes the answers need to be written in the student’s own words, although not very different from the given text, only a little adjustment to have the sentence grammatically and meaning-wise correct. Hence, a student must be able to express his thoughts precisely with incorrect words.

Useful Tips

Read the paragraph in one glance and see if it makes any sense to you. That will be the first impression of the paragraph. You will know if the passage deals with a subject alien to you or a familiar one.

Now read slowly grasping the meaning of every sentence and the word. If the subject is alien, do the slow reading twice or thrice. In the case of a familiar subject, only one reading should suffice.

Read the first question and understand what it wants to know. Get to the part of the paragraph that contains the answer. Zero in on the relevant sentence or sentences. Then write them down in answer form in your own words.

The answer should be complete. It should cover all parts of the query.

Don’t leave any sentences incomplete. Remember that sometimes only one word or one sentence can form a complete answer.

You can use the sentence of the paragraph as your answer as it is if it makes a complete answer. But you will make a better impression by answering it in your own words in the compact and neat language.

Don’t add unrelated sentences or expressions.

The passage or questions may also test your vocabulary and reading skills. A student must be able to express a point or a meaning clearly and neatly.

If you are in doubt about the meaning of a word, consult the dictionary. Do not guess or take a pot shot. Apply correct meaning only.

Examples

Comprehension Example-1

Secularism

Secularism is the very soul of Indian society and the democracy. India has a tradition of co-existence, tolerance, cooperation, and mutual respect between all its social and religious groups. Islam came to India with Muslim conquerors. A large number of natives turned Muslims over the period and presently they make up the second-largest community of our nation. The contribution of Islam to Indian culture and civilization has been spectacular. It added variety, colour and richness to native heritage. Islam enriched India with architectural wonders, the most precious being ‘Tajmahal’, the symbol of aesthetic India. Christianity had preceded Islam to India. St. Thomas, the twelve disciples of Christ arrived in India to preach his message when St. Peter was in Rome. Paris came to India in the 8th century to escape from religious persecution in Iran. They brought Zoroastrianism. Jews sailed to India 2000 years ago to settle down in Mumbai, Pune, Kochi, and Delhi. Hinduism itself was a religious conglomeration of thousands of sects having distinct beliefs, rituals, customs, and practices. Three nearly different religions branched out of it, namely, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism having separate places of worship and holy books. In all, India remained a shining example of unity in diversity, nowhere else found in the world.

Honouring this eternal spirit of India, our constitution makers declared our nation to be a secular state without any discrimination. Although the people of our country are deeply religious yet they don’t harbour any ill will or intolerance against other faiths. Even during the freedom struggle, the leaders who led it made secularism a basic policy to rally all the people against the British. The secular polity was fiercely strengthened by Mahatma Gandhi. Himself a deeply religious Hindu, he had great respect for all other religions and faiths.

To divide the Indians, the colonial rulers tried to destroy the file spirit of secularism by aiding and abetting communal forces. Some of our people forgot that sacred tradition and played in the hands of the British. Our country paid a terrible price for that lapse. India got divided into two nations and we lost the father of, the nation, Mahatma Gandhi to the bullets of a degenerated fanatic who had no use for our secular legacy. It should teach us a lesson that only a secular spirit will keep India going.

Read the above paragraph and answer the following questions.

1 What has been the tradition of India?
2 Which religions came to India from abroad?
3 What is the most precious gift of Islam to our country?
4 What has India been the shining example of?

Its main aim was to involve the students of the colleges and +2 level on a voluntary and selective basis in programmes of social services and developmental activities.

Comprehension Example-3

Women’s Rights

Even 60 years after independence the woman of India are still exploited and abused inspite of constitutional guarantees and new laws. The man considers himself superior to the woman and her master. The orthodox system of the family is set in his favour exclusively. Within the confines of domestic walls, man feels free to act like a merciless male chauvinist. The birth of a female child is considered a curse in most parts of our country. Without any thought the female foetus is murdered. At practical level law fails to protect a woman’s human rights. The situation is worse in rural areas. There the woman slave for men considering it their fate and a duty ordered by God Almighty. The rural women have no idea about their legal rights and privileges.

It is not the illiterate women’s fate only. Even an educated woman of urban areas who are gainfully employed does not use their rights for fear of antagonizing her husband. They meekly give in to the mate arrogance to avoid domestic discord and physical abuse. The males of the family decide how to spend the earnings of the working female. From very childhood, the girls are mentally conditioned to let the males do the thinking for her and accept their decisions.

Thus, the male dominance continues to hold away at the cost of the rights and the privileges of women. This factor has created gross imbalance in the Indian families. Nowadays the families do not mind sisters, daughters and wives seeking gainful employment as long as they don’t exercise their right to spend their earnings as they like. A working woman brings home tidy salary to add to the family income but she cannot hope of any help from her husband in doing domestic chores. She has to toil alone like a slave. For husbands doing household work is below their dignity and as far as the women are concerned it is their natural duty. The doubly burdened women when protesting or complaining the men ignore them or react violently which results in the growing tensions in relationships. The resultant quarrels and maladjustments in the family badly affect the children psychologically.

Questions

1 Have the new laws and rights guaranteed by the constitution ended the exploitation and abuse of women in India?

2 What does a man consider himself compared to a woman?

3 Are the situations of women good in rural areas?

4 What factor has created a gross imbalance in the Indian families?

Answer

1 The women are still exploited and abused despite rights and privileges granted by law to the women.

2 Man considers himself superior to a woman and her lord and master.

3 In rural areas, the situation of woman rights is far worse than the urban areas.

4 The male domination in the family and gross violation of woman’s rights are creating imbalances in families in India.

Common Education for Genders

In India, co-education has not been a long tradition. It only began in the pre-independence period when education movements started as a part of the freedom effort: It was realised that co-education was a part of the modern education which reduced gender biases. The girls and boys needed to be allowed to interact to generate healthy respect for each other instead of suspicions and the ignorances. In backward and rural areas there still are separate schools for boys and girls. Nowadays co-education is common in big towns and cities, especially in colleges and training institutions. The trend is catching up because of many advantages it offers.

In the west, Switzerland was the first country to introduce co-education. Then, it spread fast to other western countries. There now co-education is prevalent in all institutions and at all levels.

This system of education is very economic besides being healthy. It dispenses with separate school buildings, classes and teaching staff for boys and girls saving a lot of money. A developing country like India, always short of funds, requires maximum value of budget to afford universal and compulsory education.

A better understanding between boys and girls is created through co-education leading to easy relationships. It is essential because they are to live together as husbands and wives in the later period of life. So, they must get the opportunity to mix up and know each other at the school stage itself. They must understand each other better and grow healthy behaviour. That will help them make better adjustments later as life partners. The girls will not look at boys as dangerous creatures and boys will learn to treat girls in civilized manner. It is sure to bring down sex crimes and violent behaviours. The different sexes must live in harmony to have a healthy society.

The indiscipline is also likely to lessen as it is observed that boys behave decently in the presence of girls. Similarly, girls are also at their finest in the company of boys in groups. A healthy competition gets generated. They study hard and excel in other fields of activities to showcase their talents and capabilities. A desirable companionship refinement and good manners result. The researches reveal that the boys of co-education institutions are disciplined, well-behaved and orderly. They don’t suffer from any mental blocks related to opposite sex.

Cinema Craze

India is cinema crazy and Indiana are ever star struck zombies. Films are our staple diet and ‘Bollywood` is a magic word. When young people get together they only talk about films, latest releases, the roles and styles of their actors and film songs. India is naturally the largest producer of films. The most of them are Hindi, Tamil and Telugu movies. Inspite of the large output our films lack in quality and content.

They are almost all formula films or clever or clumsy imitations of foreign films. They are made to make fast money with box-office hits only replete with songs, item numbers, sex and glory violence. The realities of life are totally absent and are devoid of art orientation. Very little aesthetic appeal is there and in no way convincing. Cheap movies prove commercial success and good artistic films don’t find distributors and spectators. The people like to watch idiotic flicks that don’t challenge their intellect. The art movies are too taxing on their minds. The adolescent teenagers imitate the fashions, styles and mannerisms of their favourite actors. The immature youth are misled by cheap movie romance and silly adventures.

Infect, many a crime is inspired by ideas provided by crime thrillers. Besides crimes the movies contribute to the increasing lawlessness, indiscipline and unrest among youth. The Bollywood products show criminalization, sex and violence blatantly. The young folk are too immature to make a distinction between movie stunts and genuine adventures. Many raw youth mistake the movie stunts for real and try to copy them resulting in tragic mishaps.

Then, there is nexus between the film industry and the underworld. It is a known fact that the mafia invests its black money earned through smuggling, drug trafficking, extortion, blackmail, contract killing, arms running, prostitution, gambling rackets and protection in financing movie production. And unwittingly film actors become a part of mafia operations which exposes them to blackmails and threats. It is a matter of real concern.

Electricity

Electricity is the life force of modern world. The use of electricity in daily life at all levels is too expensive to be enumerated. Electric., power has transformed human life into an amazing experience of convenience, luxury, comfort and incredible ease. A great power became the slave of a human finger’s push. Push to a button brings the light on and the same act sets hundreds of thousands of gadgets in action. It simply is a miracle, very real and more bountiful Than ginnie of the Alladin’s wonder lamp. The electricity revolutionized our houses, drawing rooms and kitchen with useful implements.

The array of entertainment aids powered by electricity really created a fancy world around us. The coming into the existence of a power like electricity that obeyed the command of the human finger’s touch inspired the inventions and innovations of a mind boggling range of electric implements. Infect, all the manmade machines or gadgets wholly or partly run on electricity.

It created wonders of entertainment like cinema, radio, TV, VCD, DVD and other audio-video systems. The electricity helped man go to space, land on moon and harness natural powers and resources. The mining, construction, irrigation, transport, printing and other industrial activities are dependent on electric power. Even the computers won’t work any wonders without the electricity. Today, the progress of a society or a nation or economy is so dependent on electric power that all the power generating resources and options are being exploited or explored. Oil, coal, water, air, sun light, tidal waves and atomic phenomena are being used for power generation. The research on hydrogen as fuel and controlled fusion process are going on at feverish pitch.

The oil and coal are non-renewable resources. Hydel power has limitations as no new rivers can be created. Solar energy is yet costly to harness. The wind energy too has limitations. The tidal wave processes are yet at an experimental stages. And so are hydrogen and fusion ideas. Conventional atomic energy clearly is the best pollution-free option but it entails the tricky problem of atomic waste disposal.

Questions

1 To what wondrous world the electricity has transformed the human life?

2 What part of the human body controls the power of electricity?

3 What happens when the electricity is cut off in the modern-day city?

4 Why hydel power has limitations?

5 What are the good points and the bad about nuclear power generation?

Answers

1 The human life has become a wondrous experience of luxury, convenience, ease and comforts.

2 The tip of a human finger controls electric power by pressing switches.

3 The life comes to a standstill if power goes off in a modern city.

4 The hydel power has limitations because no new rivers can be created by human endeavor. And only some places with suitable topographic setting allow dams on the existing rivers.

5 The plus point of the nuclear power generation is it is totally pollution-free. But the nuclear waste disposal is very tricky and hazardous.
