Read the following text and choose/pick the correct answer in each of the following questions: (Question Nos. 71 to 75)
The comparative consideration of the question, “Is the village a community?” is more complex than it seems, for there are numerous dimensions of “community,” such as the ecological, physical, social, economic, political, religious, and psychological. To what extent do the physical limits of the village define the limits for these dimensions? Or to what extent do these aspects of community spill over into other villages so that the community might better be defined in terms of units larger than the single village? As we might expect, not all aspects of community have the same spatial distribution, so that a village may be a clearly self-contained unit for some purposes and not for others. There is yet another aspect of the problem, namely, what is the quality of social relations, of mutual interdependence of persons or social groups within each village? We must be ready to deal with the possibility that, although Village A does not define the physical area of social, economic, and other relations as clearly as does Village B, yet the quality of such relations in A or subgroups within it may be so much more cohesive as to justify our saying that there is more community within A (as well as the villages into which this spills over) than there is in B. With these observations in mind, let us first consider those aspects of community which Rani Khera and Tepoz-tlan share and then go on to consider some of the more important differences. Both Tepoztlan and Rani Khera are corporate bodies which enjoy legal status and can take suits to law courts.Both are units of taxation for the respective revenue departments. In both cases the greater part of the social, economic, and religious activities takes place within the village. The village is home and there is relatively little out-migration, but more in Tepoztlan than in Rani Khera. Of Tepoztlan it can be said that most villagers are born there, live and work there, and die there. This cannot be said of Rani Khera, for the married women were not born there, and the daughters of the village will not die there. Yet the very designation “daughter of the village” speaks eloquently for the sense of village consciousness.www.netugc.com
In both villages, despite the existence of schisms and factions, there are occasions when the villagers act together as a unit for some common goal such as the building of a road or a school, drainage of a pond, or the defense of the village against attack from the outside. In the case of Tepoztlan the defense of the village last occurred in the twenties, when it was attacked by the Cristeros. In the case of Rani Khera one must go back almost a hundred years for a comparable occasion.
71. How does village Rani Khera differ from village Tepoztlan?s
(A) Married women are not born in Rani Khera.
(B) The daughter of the village Rani Khera will not die there.
(C) There is relatively more outmigration in Rani Khera village.
(D) All of the above matters.
Answer: (D)
72. Which one of the following statements about both Rani Khera and Tepoztlan is NOT true?
(A) Both are corporate bodies
(B) Both have legal status
(C) In both cases, the greater part of social activities takes place within the villages.
(D) In both cases, the defence of the village by the inhabitants last occurred in the same year.
Answer: (D)
73. Which one of the following statements about both Rani khera and Tepoztlan is true?
(A) Existence of schisms and factions.
(B) Total self-sufficiency in all aspects of community life.
(C) No out-migration or inmigration.
(D) All of the above
Answer: (A)
74. The most important distinction between Rani Khera and Tepoztlan is

(C) People of Rani Khera are more cooperative compared to Tepoztlan.
(D) Sense of belongingness through a common identity is more visible in Rani Khera compared to Tepoztlan.
Answer: (A)

(B) Inhabitants of a neighbouring village.
