Explanation:
Refer to the third paragraph, the last sentence: 'In Jung's view ...
symbolic language of the soul.'. Hence, [3].
2
Explanation:
Refer to the first paragraph. Freud's theory is monotonous because of
its inherent limitedness. Hence, [4].
3
The form of the conjunction 'between ... and' should be adhered to.
This is valid only in option [3] where the thought is expressed in a
concise manner. The rest are wordy or do not follow the rule of the
coordinating conjunction. Hence, [3].
4
Refer to the definitions of these terms in paragraph 2 and the
examples in paragraph 4. A corresponds to 'persona', B to 'anima', C
to 'animus' and D to 'shadow'. Hence, [2]

Love note' is too general a term. The poem obviously talks of love but
the context in which the poet's idea of love is discussed is
different. So [1] is rejected. [2] does not fit in because the poet
does not supplicate before his lady love. Though the poem starts with
the mention of the death of 'virtuous men', it does not actually
grieve their death; hence, [4] is also a misfit. The poet here bids
farewell to his lady love. Hence, [3].
2
Refer to the fourth stanza. The poet actually has contempt for the
worldly lovers whose love is not pure and noble, and so they cannot
endure a moment's separation. So [1] and [2] are out. The speaker says
that their love is so sublime that they themselves do not understand
its true implications. They are not talking about love in general.
Thus [3] is also a misfit. Only [4] effectively summarizes their idea
of their love. From the last line of the fifth stanza we can tell
that, unlike ordinary lovers, the poet and his beloved do not require
each others' physical presence. Hence, [4].
3
From the beginning of the poem till its end, the poet pleads with his
beloved not to mourn because of their temporary separation. So [1] is
totally wrong. There is no mention of how she should engage herself in
his absence; that rules out [2]. Option [4] is wrong as the poet does
not mention what her lady love should do after separation. He
categorically tells her that the separation does not mean 'a breach'
of their love, it is rather an expansion of the same. Hence, [3].
RC 3

The author states right at the beginning of the passage that the view
of Austen as given in option [3] is no longer considered valid by most
critics. The rest of the passage is about the author's disagreement
with the views of a specific critic, Edward Said. So [2] is also
wrong. In the last few sentences of the passage, the author agrees
that [4] is wrong – but she also emphasizes that Austen's status as
someone from the margins of English society would have coloured her
work to some extent. Hence, [1].
2
Refer to paragraph 2, the last line: according to the author, Said
hasn't even read Mansfield Parkattentively. While this is a valid
criticism, it does not mean that the author thinks that Said is not at
all qualified to make any remarks on that novel. Similarly, in
paragraph 3, the author argues that Said has not contextualized Austen
in terms of her times and status – though this does not mean that his
views are completely invalid. Rather, in the author's opinion, both
these issues combine to make Said's views on Mansfield Park somewhat
off the mark. Only [4] captures this fully. Note that [2] is only a
part of the second issue. Hence, [4].
3
From paragraph 1, we can tell that Said definitely thinks that Jane
Austen, in her novel Mansfield Park, does not ignore the political
background of her times, so [1] and [2] are wrong. There is no hint
that Said thinks that Austen actively argues in favour of imperialism
– so [4] is also false. Rather, he seems to think that Austen
passively accepted it as part of her world (see the last two sentences
of paragraph 1) and refused to question it, because she was a naïve
and demure woman. Hence, [3]
