Thus the end of knowledge and the closing of the frontier that it symbolizes is not a looming crisis at all, but merely one of many embarrassing fits of hubris in civilization’s long industry. In the end, it will pass away and be forgotten. Ours is not the first generation to struggle to understand the organizational laws of the frontier, deceive itself that it has succeeded, and go to its grave having failed. _______________________

Answer the question based on the information given below.
Student graduating from engineering colleges today are completely unprepared to work in the corporate world. The curriculum is quite outdated and has no relevance to the technologies and processes in practical use. Most of the faculties also require refresher courses to improve the quality of teaching and keep up with modern technology rather than just stick to the text books. The infrastructure in most colleges must also improve drastically to bridge the gap between engineering colleges and the industry.
Which of the following options, if true, is most likely to weaken the above argument?
1) The requirements of the industry are far too advanced for the colleges to consider meeting them.
2)The investment required for improving the infrastructure and revising the curriculum is too high for it to be a feasible exercise.
3) Students are more interested in pursuing management education after engineering than working in the industry.
4)The university has designed the engineering curriculum in discussion with various associations and representatives from the industry.
5)Alumni in various companies have suggested that giving student first hand experience with a summer internship program will greatly improve their quality.

- One of its greatest misfortunes arises from this circumstance; for the subjects on which it is conversant are so difficult, and require such unremitted devotion of time, that few who have not spent years in their study can judge of the relative knowledge of those who pursue them.
- This remark applies with peculiar force to all the more difficult applications of mathematics; and the fact is calculated to check the energies of those who only look to reputation in England.
- It follows, therefore, that the public, and even that men of sound sense and discernment, can scarcely find means to distinguish between the possessors of knowledge, in the present day, merely elementary, and those whose acquirements are of the highest order.
- It is therefore, on that ground alone, deprived of many of the advantages which attach to professions.
- The pursuit of science does not, in England, constitute a distinct profession, as it does in many other countries.

RC:Lacan replaced Freud's postulated oral, anal and genital stages of child development with his own pre-mirror, mirror and post-mirror stages. During its first six months of existence, the child gradually fills the gap between bodily sensations and its perceptions of the outside world with symbols: fantasies with which its consciousness is merged. Then, over the next year or so, the child begins to recognize the outside as an extension or mirror of its own bodily image, absorbing at the same time an awareness of outside language: the meaning of the other. But in the next, post-mirror stage, when the child begins to speak for itself, these traces of meaning are repressed because they represent something from which the child has separated. But desire remains, hedged about by prohibitions and compromises, into adulthood, and provides the Id with its own logic, language and intentionality. From this early stage too comes any neurosis or psychosis that the adult may subsequently suffer from,these resulting from imbalances between the Imaginary, Symbolic and the Real.
Dreams (and by extension the matters that control art and our emotional processes) form a system of signs which we can read as any other text. We analyze them in Saussure's manner with signified and signifier. We use Jacobson's system of metaphor to understand the frequent combination of dream images, and metonymy to characterize displacement, the process by which images shift laterally in their significance. But whereas for Saussure the sign was culturally fixed, bonding signified and signifier, for Lacan the language of the unconscious (dreams, verbal plays and art) lacked any such stability. Language does not mimic the psychic processes of the unconscious, any reference it makes being entirely arbitrary. Language does not represent the exterior world, moreover, though of course we pretend otherwise. Words as patients use them in Freudian analysis take on multiple meanings, reach back to a plurality of determining factors, and are available permanently for new uses. So is language our everyday social language. We cannot understand it from the outside, in terms other than language. And we cannot insulate it from the discourse of the unconscious. By very nature, language forms a web of ever - elusive meaning, a free creation which provides no stability, ground or ultimate truth, even for itself.
But that is not unexpected, thought Lacan. We can hear the polyphony of contexts when we listen to poetry, a discourse where the words or signifiers align vertically and horizontally as musical notes along a score. The overlapping and knotting together of its signifiers. provides the reader of that text with an enactment of the unconscious. We cannot ultimately separate them, but poetry and the unconscious do support each other. Lacan had many contacts with Surrealism, and perhaps the exhibitionism, circularity and even charlatanry of his writings witness more truth to the unconscious than are to be found in the sober reflections of his contemporaries.
Q1.According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT
a. The unconscious functions in ways similar to language
b. The unconscious looks like a continually circulating chain of signifiers with no anchor that can ultimately give meaning or stability to the whole system.
c. Desires are symbolic symbols that are combined from concepts that have been suppressed by the conscious mind
d. The unconscious belongs to the individual and is not an effect of signification on the subject.
Q2Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?
a. The structuring of the unconscious and tying it to language can be seen as an attempt at simplification and subversion
b. Linguistically structured unconscious is the first step in subject construction
c. The consequence of entering language, according to Lacan is the formation and evolution of ego.
d. Lacan considers that identity is structured by language and in language.
