Reading Comprehension- Supernatural Phenomena Passage

This quiz, titled 'Reading Comprehension- Supernatural Phenomena Passage,' evaluates understanding of various theories about ghosts. It explores spiritual, mechanical, and psycholo...

Questions: 6 | Attempts: 562 | Last updated: Mar 21, 2023

Sample Question
Directions (Q. 1 – 6): The passage given below is followed by a set of six questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question. Those who scorn the idea that spooks and spectres prowl and shimmer through the world do so because no one has so far caught a ghost in a bottle, because they are sceptical by habit, or because they resist the notion that death may not be final. For many the word "ghost" conjures up an anonymous white-robed figure, a spirit who has come back from the grave to haunt the living. But in the annals of ghostdom, spectral beings come in a variety of forms and shapes, and some never put in an appearance at all, although they make their presence felt. Ghosts also differ in behaviour - they may be aimless, purposeful, playful, angelic, and even demonic. There are three lines of explanation for ghostly phenomena: the spiritual, mechanical, and psychological. The most firmly established is the spiritual thesis, which holds that ghosts are intelligent beings. The first version of this idea is that ghosts are the spirits of dead humans. They continue to resemble their earthly forms in appearance and dress and are found re-enacting things they did in the past, bound to their haunting grounds by guilt, remorse, desire, or habit. They may be malevolent, kindly, or indifferent toward human beings. People who take this view of ghosts regard them as marking time in a spiritual halfway house between this world and heaven, purgatory, or hell. According to another version of the Spiritual view, a ghost's resemblance to a formerly living person or animal is actually a masquerade adopted for its own purpose, the real appearance of ghosts being quite different. Some ghosts, for instance appear as vaporous columns or clouds of light. In the third view of ghosts as a spiritual phenomenon, these apparitions are not kings in either of the senses described above. Instead, they are illusions created by powerful classes of angelic or demonic beings for the purpose of helping or harming those who see them. Miracles are an example of intervention by angelic or enlightened powers, while most poltergeist episodes are held to be demonic. The mechanical interpretation is that ghosts are images without substance, somehow recorded in an ethnic medium and visible under certain conditions to those of a certain case of mind. This idea accords well with some frequently observed phenomena- the way some ghosts have of disappearing into thin air. It does not explain those cases where the ghost interacts intelligently with those who see it. In the psychological view of the phenomenon, ghosts reveal a spectrum of powerful but not yet understood capacities of the human mind. In these terms, some ghosts are the product of telepathic powers, as when a relative or friend appears to another at-the time of death: others- poltergeist phenomena- suggest unwitting and uncontrolled psychokinetic abilities. And some - the appearance of phantom doubles - suggest that out of-body experiences may sometimes be manifest to others. In fact, most believers in ghosts are probably willing to accept all of these theses as helping to explain a complex and varied phenomenon. Sceptics, on the other hand, resorting to the dry but sturdy arguments of what they consider to be common sense, are apt to maintain that stories of ghosts are lies, hallucinations, or earnest reports of misperceptions. But the most convincing evidence of the existence of spectres still seems to be their appearance on the scene. Question: The author is most likely to agree with the statement that:

For many the word ghost is associated with a nameless human being attired in white robes

For others it is a spirit who has risen from the grave to haunt the world

As per the history of the world of ghosts, they may have no appearance though their presence can be felt

Ghosts real life existence. is unquestionable because statistical proofs are available

The Wolf and the Goat A wolf saw a goat grazing at the edge of a high cliff. The wolf smacked his lips at the thought of a fine goat dinner. “My dear friend,” said the wolf in his sweetest voice. “Aren’t you afraid you will fall down from that cliff? Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me on safe, level ground.” “No, thank you,” said the goat. “Well then,” said the wolf, “Aren’t you cold up there in the wind? You would be warmer grazing down here beside me in this sheltered area.” “No, thank you,” said the goat. “But the grass tastes better down here!” said the exasperated wolf. “Why dine alone?” “My dear wolf,” the goat finally said, “Are you quite sure that it is my dinner you are worrying about and not your own?” (P12.19-22.UN.0809) What did the wolf ask when he saw the goat grazing at the edge of a high cliff?

To be his friend
