Hello Aspirants,
I am herewith posting/sharing the Answer Key 22nd January 2017 English
Net Exam. This is Model Answer Key and Not Authentic key. I have tried my best
to provide ideal model answers to all the 50 Questions in Paper II. It is my great pleasure to inform you that
most of the questions are either from my study notes or group
discussion/parallel posting while online teaching. Before moving to the key,
let me clear some points –
1) It is model
answer key and prepared by me (Anil S Awad), not final answer key. Please tally
the key with the Authentic Key published by the competent authority, when it is
issued.
2) Please don’t
ask such irrelevant questions, like – what will be the merit/cut off/qualifying
marks for Open/SC/ST/OBC etc. It is improbable to anyone to guess it now.
3) Instead of
waiting for the result, I humbly advise you to start preparing for July 2016
Net as well as the upcoming SET Exams.
4) It is my humble
request not to modify the key – any answers (or even my name) for purpose of
sharing/re-posting it. Many students are getting benefitted by referring my
blog in grievances. I will issue the updates on my blog, if any.
5) You can share
this key on your timeline from my time or my Facebook Page – English Net Study
Notes and Online Guidance
https://www.facebook.com/pages/English-Net-Study-Notes-and-Online-Guidance/800638513316780

The Mirror of Magistrates
II.
The Shepherd’s Calendar
III.
Lament for the Makers

The right combination according
to the code is:
(1) I and
III
(2) I and
IV
(3)
I and II
(4) II and
III
ANSWER - (3) I and II
See the extract from Defence of Poesy:
Chaucer, undoubtedly, did excellently in his Troilus and
Cressida; of whom, truly, I know not whether to marvel more, either that he in
that misty time could see so clearly, or that we in this clear age walk so
stumblingly after him. Yet had he great wants, fit to be forgiven in so revered
antiquity. I account the Mirror of Magistrates meetly furnished of
beautiful parts; and in the Earl of Surrey’s lyrics many things tasting of a
noble birth, and worthy of a noble mind. The Shepherd’s Calendar hath
much poetry in his eclogues, indeed worthy the reading, if I be not deceived.
That same framing of his style to an old rustic language I dare not allow,
since neither Theocritus in Greek, Virgil in Latin, nor Sannazzaro in Italian
did affect it. Besides these, I do not remember to have seen but few (to speak
boldly) printed, that have poetical sinews in them. For proof whereof, let but
most of the verses be put in prose, and then ask the meaning, and it will be
found that one verse did but beget another, without ordering at the first what
should be at the last; which becomes a confused mass of words, with a tinkling
sound of rime, barely accompanied with reason.

literary sense.’

ANSWER - (3) Ranches

Musee des Beaux
Arts
W. H. Auden
About suffering they were never
wrong,
The old Masters: how well they
understood
Its human position: how it
takes place
While someone else is eating or
opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are
reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there
always must be
Children who did
not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the
edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful
martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy
spot
Where the dogs go
on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind
on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for
instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the
disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the
forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an
important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs
disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive
delicate ship that must have seen
Something
amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and
sailed calmly on.

In ‘Traditional and the Individual
Talent’, T S Eliot uses the analogy of the catalyst to elucidate his theory
of impersonal poetry. He cites the example of a filament of platinum and, in
the poetic process this is equivalent to
(1) The
language of the poet
(2)
The mind of the poet
(3) The
soul of the poet
(4) The
life of the poet
ANSWER - (2) The
mind of the poet
See the extract
from – Traditional and Individual Talent’
The
analogy was that of the catalyst. When the two gases previously mentioned are
mixed in the presence of a filament of platinum, they form sulphurous acid.
This combination takes place only if the platinum is present; nevertheless the
newly formed acid contains no trace of platinum, and the platinum itself is
apparently unaffected; has remained inert, neutral, and unchanged. The mind of
the poet is the shred of platinum.
