Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage :
Washington Irving was America' s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States.
(76) The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.
Thackeray described Irving as \gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere,was most finished, polished, witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans. %unusual honor for a citizen of ayoung, uncultured nation--and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. Americamade him ambassador to Spain.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching.
Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?
