Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Though it may be inessential to the imagination, travelling is necessary to an understanding of men.
Only with long experience and the opening of his wares on many a beach where his language is not
spoken, will the merchant come to know the worth of what he carries, and what is parochial and
what is universal in his choice. Such delicate goods as justice, love and honour, courtesy, and indeed
all the things we care for, are valid everywhere but they are variously moulded and often differently
handled, and sometimes nearly unrecognizable if you meet them in a foreign land, and the art of
learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travelling to those who wish to
leave at ease among their fellows.
97. According to the passage, traveling leads to
a) exploiting foreign lands b) selling our wares to the others
c) understanding human nature d) establishing human nature
98. When we meet other people while we travel, we learn to differentiate between
a) fiends and foe b) communities and nationalities
c) local and universal values d) imagination and understanding
99. The author terms justice, love, honour and courtesy as delicate goods because they are
a) important b) desirable c) fragile d) perishable
100. Traveling helps those who
a) want to learn foreign languages
b) wish to make money
c) want to resolve differences amongst people
d) wish to learn fundamental common values
