UGC NET/JRF, June 2013, English Paper III Answer Key

This is not any official key. Neither, it claims validity as few may be wrong too. It’s just an attempt to frame a tentative key as we have observed that the key UGC releases, happens to be without any justification and thus quite questionable. Even after complain hardly it changes. Sometime, they just throw wrong key to validate their questions. So, let’s make an alternative key before UGC releases theirs’.

Initially, I have tried to give it a shape and now it’s over to you all. So, bring out your question paper(s), check with it and if you have any objection(s) with the key given here, please do comment below and it will be updated. So, let’s do it.

  14. q.no 40 the correct ans is b)gondolier and graveyard stranger because A death's head is a human skull or a more subtle representation of death. The death's head is the dominant leitmotif in this novella, with different representations of the same ominous man appearing in closer and closer proximity to von Aschenbach. First, while in the graveyard, he spots a strange foreigner who bares his teeth ferociously. Next, the frightening gondolier in Venice (who steers a boat that reminds von Aschenbach of a coffin) shares many of the same characteristics as the teeth-baring stranger, including a distinctive hat, reddish hair, and prominent teeth. The gondolier is physically closer to von Aschenbach than the stranger had been, but is still unavailable for conversation. The final appearance of the death's head occurs symbolically in von Aschenbach's hotel garden in the form of a singer. The singer again has similar characteristics to the other two symbolic men, including red hair and an important hat, and he pays special attention to von Aschenbach.

  29. Looking through the answer key of 2013 June original and re-conducted examinations in English one wonders how an agency that cannot collect 125 correct questions ensure quality of higher education. Pathetic.
