Read the excerpt below (from Henry Adams' The Education of Henry Adams) with accuracy and fluency. Discuss any unfamiliar words from the passage and what strategies you used to understand them.

Until the Great Exposition closed its doors in November, Adams haunted it, aching to absorb knowledge, and helpless to find it. He would have liked to know how much of it could have been grasped by the best-informed man in the world. While he was thus meditating chaos, Langley came by, and showed it to him. At Langley's behest, the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself to the skin, for Langley knew what to study, and why, and how; while Adams might as well have stood outside in the night, staring at the Milky Way. Yet Langley said nothing new, and taught nothing that one might not have learned from Lord Bacon, three hundred years before; but though one should have known the "Advancement of Science" as well as one knew the "Comedy of Errors," the literary knowledge counted for nothing until some teacher should show how to apply it.

This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.

Answer and Explanation:

The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".

To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".

Q2. Given below is the introductory paragraph of an expository essay. Complete this essay by using expository technique of essay writing. (10)

Pakistan is a country of 220 million people who are living in this country with a post-colonial cultural setup. Sub-continent would not have been divided for Muslims if it was not for educated Muslim elite to intervene and make this miracle happen for good. Muslims were deprived of most basic rights in the sub-continent being ruled by British colonialists. After 1857, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was first among one of those Muslims who felt this need of reviving Muslims through giving them modern education. Surely, it would have been of impact as to keep someone out of reach of this basic necessity. This approach of keeping Muslims away from education might be one of the proponent of the philosophy of “divide and rule.” Whatever the reasons might be, this effort was countered by some of the educationists who later changed the discourse for this nation and turned it into Pakistan. The current constitution of Pakistan with its specific article 25-A for “Free education for all from the age of 5-16.” The obligation is not just to provide opportunities to this young lot but also to provide them other basic necessities to carry out these activities. After the 18th Amendment education has alone become a provincial subject but as a nation a single upheaval policy is required. The young minds are becoming stagnant die to low quality education having very low standards of global comparison
