Passage # 191, Date : 07-Jul-2019

Cromwell, as the military leader of the Commonwealth Boers, is, at least in England where the military art has not been scientifically studied, one of the suppressed characters of history. His political achievements, as is perhaps natural in a community which courts the voter and despises the soldier, have put out of sight the means by which he mainly won them; namely his genius as a cavalry and partisan commander. An ungainly, narrow-minded, bigoted, bucolic squireen of Huntingdon, lacking in every quality which we are accustomed to associate with a cavalry officer, inaugurated an era in the history of Mounted Troops. His methods are studied on the Continent, and the German Staff has recently discovered that he was the first leader to use cavalry as a screen to hide the movements of the main body. Yet there is no evidence that he ever studied the military art, and he did not become a soldier until he had reached his fourth decade. In the Royalist Army, opposed to him were soldiers by profession and experience; officers and men who had been under Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War, for in the seventeenth century the services of aliens were in request on the Continent, and at one time no less than eighty-seven senior officers of British nationality were serving in the Swedish Army, then the most renowned in Europe. Yet Cromwell with his “Eastern Association,” his Ironsides, his yeomen and raw levies, beat the Royalist Army, officered from the same class which is still believed to possess the monopoly of the aptitude for leading men in war, by exercising the homely qualities of energy, self-control, endurance, and practical common sense applied instantly to the occasion of the moment.

(A) Cromwell was a partisan commander.

(B) Cromwell became a soldier at a very young age.
(C) Cromwell’s military exploits have not been adequately acknowledged.
(D) Cromwell’s methods have been studied by other groups.
(E) Cromwell did not formally study military art.
2. According to the passage, each of the following was a factor in Cromwell’s success EXCEPT:
(A) Self control
(B) Energy
(C) Endurance
(D) Unconventional methods
(E) Common sense
3. Which of the following can be inferred about the community mentioned in the third line of the passage?

(B) It had more military experts than politicians.
(C) It gave more importance to the voter than to the soldier.
(D) It discounted the achievements of the soldier.
