Sample English Language Exam Questions and Answers

Read the following poem and answer the question below.

Honesty is proof of a healthy state of mind, it will not tolerate what is rude or unkind. It will distance itself from derision and scorn, and endeavour not to speak angrily when wronged. Without love, honesty is cruel, hurtful and harsh, but with love, it looks you in the eye with a firm soft tenderness, and while speaking tough, will affirm and reassure you of its steadfast kindliness. Part of a team with ‘loyalty’ and ‘openness’ and intimate friends with ‘compassion’ and ‘kindness’, Honesty does not work alone, preferring to demonstrate harmony, as all good teachers do. No need to seek shelter from honest sincerity, it is sensibly matter-of-fact, and upfront, and a reliable source of encouragement, but above all else, it’s stuffed with integrity. – By Steve Burden.
