Comprehension:

Read the passage carefully and answer question numbers from 11 to 15.

In noting the nature of human lives, we have reason to be interested not only in the various
things we succeed in doing, but also in the freedoms that we actually have to choose between
different kind of lives. The freedom to choose our lives can make a significant contribution it our
well-being but going beyond the perspective of well-being, the freedom itself may be seen as
important. Being able to reason and choose is a significant aspect of human life. In fact, we are
under no obligation to seek only our own well-being. It is for us to decide what we have good
reason to pursue. We need not have to be a great leader to recognise that we can have aims or
priorities that differ from the single-minded pursuit of our own well being only. The freedoms
and capabilities we enjoy can also be valuable to us. It is ultimately for us to decide how to use
the freedom we have. It is important to emphasise that if social realizations are assessed in
terms of human lives are then seen inclusively, taking note of the substantive freedoms that
people enjoy, rather than ignoring everything other than pleasures or utilities they end up
having. There is also a second significant aspect of freedom : it makes us accountable for what
we do. Freedom to choose gives us the opportunity to decide what we should do, but with that
opportunity comes the power to do something, the accountability that emanates from that
ability- that power-is a part of the capability perspective, and this can make room for demands
of duty-what can be broadly called deontological demands. There is an overlap here between
agency-centered concerns and the implications of a capability based approach. The perspective
of social realizations will take us to further issues central to the analysis of justice in the world.

Q-11 Why freedom is seen as important?

Options:-

1. To have different life styles.

2. To succeed in doing things.

3. To go beyond the perspective of one’s own well-being.

4. To understand the perspective of one’s well-being

Q-12 What is of no value for assessing social realizations?

Options:-

1. Ignoring the values of freedom

2. Capabilities of people

4. To be able to enjoy our freedoms.

Q-15 The central idea of the passage is:
