RPSC Mains 2018·Paper-IV·Section C
Make a precis of the following passage in about one third of its length: It is never easy to see why one hobby should be more popular than another; as the old writer said, there is no disputing about tastes. One of the most mysterious illustrations of this saying is surely to be found in the love of maps. Mankind may be roughly divided into those who find a fascinating world within the covers of an atlas and those to whom an atlas is no more than a book of reference. What is it that decides to which category a particular person may belong? It is not, for example, a matter of travel. There are those whose work or recreation has sent them journeying around the world from one exciting country to another but who seldom consult a map unless forced to do so by the sheer necessity of discovering how to get most quickly from one place to another. On the other hand there are those who have never travelled outside their own immediate neighbourhood and yet find great amusement in studying maps of all kinds. Perhaps it is mainly a matter of imagination. The genuine map-lover, merely by looking at his maps, is transported beyond the walls of his room. If his map is of some familiar territory, he is in his imagination admiring this view. If it is some distant unvisited land, he is peopling it with creatures he has read about or admiring the charming scenery. Whatever tricks his imagination is up to, it is the map which has set him dreaming. It has furnished him with means of recreation and delight.
