Degree 3rd year English compulsory Model Test Solution

Degree pass course students of BA, BSS, BBS and BSc Courses under National University of Bangladesh who are now in the 3rd year must prepare themselves for English compulsory subject (code 121101).

1. Read the passage and answer the questions below:

Patriotism means the love for one's own country. It is a noble virtue. It removes all sorts of meanness from human mind and makes it broad. Patriotism inspires a man to shed last drop of blood to defend the freedom of his country A man without this quality is no better than a beast. A true patriot is honoured by all. His only aim is to promote the welfare of his country and countrymen. He always remembers a wise saying. "Mother and motherland are superior to heaven. There are some traitors. They always try to destroy the glory of the country for self-interest. Really, they are the slur to the country as well as to mankind. They die a negligible death. Nobody mourns for them. True patriotism is beneficial to all. It brings happiness and prosperity to the nation. A true patriot has a broad and liberal outlook. He hates none. For the development of his country, he works day and night. For his own interest, he takes little care. But narrow nationalism is not the sign of a true patriot. It is dangerous and sentimental. It leads to conflict with other nations. It acts like germs. It spolis the happy atmosphere of the country. Bangladesh needs the services of true patriots. But only patriotism is not enough. We should serve our country to the best of our ability. We must have a cosmopolitan part. We should love all without any distinction between caste and creed.
