General English Practice Question and Answer
8 Q:There are three main groups of oils-animal, vegetable and mineral. Great quantities of animal oil come from whales, creatures of the sea, which are the largest of the animals remaining in the world. To protect the whales from the cold of the Artic seas, nature has provided them with a thick covering of fat, called blubber. When the whale is killed, the blubber is stripped off and boiled down. It produces a great quantity of oil which can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures yield oil, but none so much as the whale. The livers of the cod and halibut, two kinds of fish, yield nourishing oil. Both cod liver oil and halibut oil are given to sick children and other invalids who need certain vitamins.

Q:Read the following given passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and appropriate in the answer sheet.
Suppose your son misbehaves towards you, or your father one day in his anger is unduly severe to you, it is not great virtue to forgive them. Suppose a brother of yours does you some harm and you say. “Never mind, you are my brother, I let you go,” there is no great virtue in that. The difficulty is when you have to forget the sin of your enemies. It your Dayady who has always hated you, does you some fresh injury and you forgive that, then it is a real act of forgiveness.
It is that which the Mahatma preaches. He says, “Forgive thine enemies,” which is one of the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is a mistake to think Christianity alone preaches the virtue. Other religions also teach it. Now Gandhi is pre-eminently a Hindu, and he says he is living the best part of Hinduism when he himself forgives the sin of enemies, and asks people to love them as their friends.
What virtue of Gandhiji is the author talking about?
