Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : It is an admitted fact that union or co-operation is strength; disunity is weakness. A united family, a united community, a united society, a united nation is strong; but those who are disunited or split up into fractions or groups, are all weak. Take the case, of a football or hockey team. If the members of the team play together and co-operate with one another, they will form a “strong team”. But if each member plays his own game, they will surely be defeated, however strong the individual players may be. The same is true of an army. To win a battle an army must work as one man. Napoleon’s motto was, “Divide and Conquer”. He tried to split up the armies fighting against him. Then he would overcome them one by one. Divided they were weak. “United we stand ; divided we fall”. 1. What was the admitted fact about strength and weakness ?2. How can the football or hockey team be defeated ?3. How can an army win the battle ? |
