Read the following passages and respond to the questions that follow each passage. Your responses should be based on the passages."Half a century later, Indians learnt to die for their cause. In this pursuit we were greatly helped by the examples of martyrs from Ireland and Russia. Thus, it will be wrong to search for the causes thereof only within India, right?""Of Course, Saifubhai. Whole world is interconnected.""Shankar, the success of any revolutionary movement is dependent on two things. First, how much inspiration it draws from international conditions and examples. Second, how much of the most revolution prone class participates in it. I have already given some examples of the first. The second source is that of the workers, the farmers, the people. Only those can fight the revolutionary battle who have nothing to lose. How can someone who is afraid of being deprived of Sakina's luscious lips, this bungalow and the hereditary rights over villages be a revolutionary fighter? Therefore I say, only the ordinary people can be the vehicle of the revolution.""I too agree"."Fine, you are aware of the public enthusiasm. Now, see how the international conditions can be inspiring. The last world war evoked a lot of fire. It was fought at the instance of imperialism the last ditch effort to have a control over the safe markets for capital and finished goods. Germany wanted new colonies but the world was already divided. So, the war was necessary for grabbing the colonies. As a result, Germany got entangled in a war with England and France, who owned the colonies. It was good that Germany lost the war, however a new enemy to the kicking imperialism was born - Communism awakening imperialism out of its slumber. Goods should be produced for the happiness and prosperity, of all the mankind, not for profit. Machines are improved, industries proliferate, production increases and a large market is required for its sale. However, that requires rolling cash in the hands of the consumer. Consumers should be paid their wages adequately. If there is a decrease in cashflow, sale of goods will decrease. Goods will pile up in godowns. There will be a financial depression. Production will have to be reduced. Factories will close down. People will lose jobs. What can they buy without money? How will factories be run? Communism says, give up the lust for profit. Think of your country and the world as a family and produce only what you need. Let everybody work according to his capacity. Give him the necessities of life as per his needs. All of this can happen if land or factories will not be individually owned. All the means of production should belong to one big family."
Consider the following statements with reference to the paragraph.(a) Means of production should be commonly owned.(b) Profit should not be a motive.(c) Individuals should get goods only as much as they need.

In the simplest sense, evolution means the slow process of change from a simple to a more complex structure. Evolution assumes that all living things are inter-related. Humans are supposed to have developed from some simpler forms. Most of the scientists today accept the basic principle of evolution but they have varying views regarding how evolution has taken place or how would it go. The evolution of life began in the oceans. About four hundred million years ago the first land based creature emerged. Some of these gradually evolved into the reptiles who were later displaced by mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded creatures having greater capacity to learn from experiences than other animals and this capacity has reached to its highest development in the human species. Our closest relatives are Chimpanzee, Gorilla and Orang-utan. Similarities between man and other animal forms were identified by Linnaeus who grouped man, the great ape and monkey in a single order, primates. The three main theories of evolution are Lamarckism, Darvinism and Synthetic theory. Lamarck is chiefly remembered for his belief in the inheritability of acquired characters which is disputed. But he is credited in the history of evolutionary thought for recognizing and stating for the first time that evolution is a universal truth covering all forms of life and it is a gradual and an incessant process. The scientific propagation of the theory of evolution was mainly the work of Charles Darwin. He said, that human evolution occurs through the process of natural selection. The main points of this theory are struggle for existence, variation, survival of the fittest and natural selection. Darwin’s natural selection serves as the comer stone of the modern synthesis but the mutation theory, mendelian genetics and the statistics of population dynamics are also very important components of its foundation. The basic postulate of the synthetic theory is that evolution proceeds principally as a result of the interaction between five indispensable processes mutation, change in the chromosome number and structure, genetic recombination, natural selection and reproductive isolation. This is also called Neo Darvinism.
