READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.

There were once six blind men who stood by the roadside every day and begged from the people who passed. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one. How could they; they were blind?
It so happened one morning that an elephant was driven down the road where they stood. When they were told that the great beast was before them, they asked the Mahout to let it stop so that they might see it.
Of course they could not see the elephant with their eyes, but they thought that by touching it they could learn just what kind of animal it was.
The first one happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. It is exactly like a wall."
The second felt only the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "You are mistaken. It is not at all like a wall. It is round and smooth and sharp. It is more like a spear than anything else."
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."
The fourth reached out his arms and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are," he said. "It is very plain to me that it is round and tall like a tree."
The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "It is exactly like a huge fan."
The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "Oh foolish fellows," he cried, "you surely have lost your sense. This elephant is not like a wall or a spear or a snake or a tree, nor is like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that it is exactly like a rope. Then the elephant moved on, and the six blind men sat by the roadside all day and quarreled about it. Each believed that he know just how the animal looked, and each called the other unkind names because they did not agree with each other.

Why were the blind men on the roadside?

A They were waiting for the elephant to pass by.
B They stood there in order to beg from the people passing by.
C It was their assembly spot.
D They wanted to hear all about elephants as neither of them was going to see one.

Today, change is inevitable in all spheres of life and we are required to face challenge of the changes to achieve our goals and objectives. The change in our attitudes and mindset towards the youth who constitute more than fifty percent of our population is a must.

Unfortunately, the highly potential and vibrant resource has not been effectively and productively utilised, resulting in generation gaps which are unbridgeable. It is our onerous duty to bring them in mainstream in the task of national development and reconstruction to take the nation resplendence and glory in the new millennium. The building of the nation is possible only through the process of all round development and harnessing of the energies of our youth.

H.G. Wells had truly said, ‘‘Men are born but citizens are made. A child takes to itself what is brought to it.’’ The invasion of western culture and the existing system of education could be blamed for failure of the youngsters to turn into talented individuals. It is inborn virtue conditioned with sustained cultural feed-back with moral and ethical values. Our new generation should feel inspired by great luminaries, who this country is proud to have produced.

In the present scenario of criminalisation of politics, increasing violence and widespread erosion of cultural and social values, dividing the country in the name of religion and caste, raising narrow walls of disintegration and drifting us apart, the youth should be saved from choosing a wrong path. We know that today’s youngsters are nation’s future.

The author regrets about country’s inability to rope in the youth in nation building consequently_________.

Aan unbridgeable generation gap has been created
Bthe youth has been marginalised and ignored
Cthe energy of the youth has not been fully harnessed to bring about the desirable changes and the generation gap has widened
Dthe youth falls victim to alien culture and ideology
