Hello Aspirants,
It is my great pleasure to
inform you that there were 55-57 questions directly from my study notes, in the 16th April 2017 Maharashtra SET Exam. I am herewith posting the model (predicted)
answer key of Maharashtra SET (English) – III paper.
Before moving to the key, let
me tell you something…
1. This is predicted/estimated/model key for
English SET Paper III and not the authentic key. I have tried my
best to prepare it by using as many resources as possible. Still, I suggest you
to go with the authentic key to be published by competent authority, for final
confirmation of the answers.
2. Please don’t ask such irrelevant questions
like what will be the cut-off for General/OBC/SC/ST etc. categories.
This depends upon the number of candidates appearing for exam, the level of
questions, final decisions by the SET conducting machinery etc.
3. Instead of waiting for the
result, I humbly advise you to start preparing for July 2017 Net as well as the
upcoming SET Exam.
5. You can share this key on
your timeline from my timeline or my Facebook Page – English Net Study Notes and Online
Guidance.
I hope this key will help you
to find out the right answers. It is always a great pleasure for me to see you
pass in the Net/SET exam. So I appeal you not to give up and start preparing
for the upcoming exams. God Bless You With Success.

imagination
B)
Secondary imagination
C)
Fancy
D) Sensibility
Answer – B) Secondary imagination
Biographia Literaria – Chapter 13 - The Imagination then I consider either as
primary, or secondary. The primary Imagination I hold to be the living Power
and prime Agent of all human Perception, and as a repetition in the finite mind
of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I Am. The secondary I consider
as an echo of the former, co-existing with the conscious will, yet still as
identical with the primary in the kind of its agency, and differing only in
degree, and in the mode of its operation. It dissolves, diffuses, dissipates,
in order to re-create; or where this process is rendered impossible, yet still
at all events it struggles to idealize and to unify. It is essentially vital,
even as all objects (as objects) are essentially fixed and dead.

Denial
BY GEORGE HERBERT
When my devotions could not pierce
Thy silent ears,
Then was my heart broken, as was my verse;
My breast was full of fears
And disorder.
My bent thoughts, like a brittle bow,
Did fly asunder:
Each took his way; some would to pleasures go,
Some to the wars and thunder
Of alarms.
“As good go anywhere,” they say,
“As to benumb
Both knees and heart, in crying night and day,
Come, come, my God, O come!
But no hearing.”
O that thou shouldst give dust a tongue
To cry to thee,
And then not hear it crying! All day long
My heart was in my knee,
But no hearing.
Therefore my soul lay out of sight,
Untuned, unstrung:
My feeble spirit, unable to look right,
Like a nipped blossom, hung
Discontented.
O cheer and tune my heartless breast,
Defer no time;
That so thy favors granting my request,
They and my mind may chime,
And mend my rhyme.

Who is the author of the pamphlet “The Art of Political Lying”?
A)
Dr. John Arbuthnot
B)
Dr. Samuel Johnson
C)
Alexander Pope
D) Jonathan
Swift
Answer – A) Dr. John Arbuthnot
Explanation -
The Art of Political Lying." - The essay appeared in issue number 14 of The
Examiner, November 9, 1710. Previously, it was attributed to Jonathan Swift.
Arbuthnot was a good friend of Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, John Gay, and
other poets and writers, with whom he formed the Scriblerus Club. He is said to
have been the funniest and most affable member of this select literary group,
but he preferred to give hints to others rather than seek fame himself. The
present treatise was long attributed to Swift, but became known to be authored
by Arbuthnot after Swift's Journal to Stella was discovered. He thus speaks of
it in his "Journal to Stella" of Oct. 9, and Dec. 2,
1712:---"Arbuthnot has sent me, from Windsor, a pretty discourse upon
lying; and I have ordered the printer to come for it. It is a proposal for
publishing a curious piece, called, 'The Art of Political Lying,' in two
volumes. &c.. and then there is an abstract of the first volume, just like
those pamphlets which they call The Works of the Learned." "The pamphlet of
Political Lying is written by Dr. Arbuthnot, the author of 'John Bull.' It is
very pretty, but not so obvious to be understood." Thus, Swift himself
confesses that the pamphlet “The Art of Political Lying” is written by Dr.
Arbuthnot.
