18 Based on the given passage from “Mohanaswamy,” discuss the role played by language in

discriminating sexualities.

It was just about two years ago that Mohanaswamy had come across the word 'gay.' He
now identified himself with that word, though he wasn’t sure whether it really described
him. For him, ‘straight’ meant every other creature on earth except him and the people of
his ilk. English dailies and magazines like Debonaire often used the word ‘gay’. But he
didn't know what gays were called in the vernacular. So far he had earned several
monikers in the local slang - each one filling him with pain, disgust, humiliation and
incredulity. But there was no equivalent word for ‘gay’ in Kannada. You wouldn’t even

find it in dictionaries and newspapers.
19 In what sense is the word ‘habit’ is used in the poem “Habit” by F. M. Shinde ?

20 “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,” so says Simone de Beauvoir, in her book The

Second Sex. What do you think she means ?
