Directions (Q. 1 – 5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Capitalism is a great slave, but a pathetic master. This truth unfortunately gets lost in our chase for that elusive dream – especially in the West, the land that has been marketed as the land of the dreams – the great Western dream. It’s the dream of being independent masters of our lives, of making big bucks and of being happy – even if that happiness is being bought by money which all of them chase out there. No doubt, the West on its part has been fairly successful in creating material comforts aplenty. It has improved the living standard of its average citizen.
