QI 1. Write a precise for the following passage and give a suitable title for it: Machines have, in fact, become the salves of modern life. They do more and more work that
human beings do not want to do themselves. Think for a moment of the extent to which
machines do work for you. You wake, perhaps, to the hoot of a siren by a machine in a
neighbouring factory. You wash in water brought to you by the aid of machinery, heated by
machinery and placed in basins for your convenience by a machine. You eat your breakfast
quickly cooked for you by machinery, go to school in machines made for saving leg labour. And
if you are lucky to be in a very modern school, you enjoy cinema where a machine teaches you
or you listen to lessons broadcast by one of the most wonderful machines. So dependent has man
become on machines that a certain writer imagines a time when machines will have acquired a
will of their own and become the master of men, doomed once more to slavery. [10 Marks]

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
