Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture
that one day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but
unimaginable. We seldom think of it. So we go about our pretty task, hardly aware of our
listless attitude towards life. The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our
faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold
blessing that lie in sight. This observation applies to those who have never suffered
impairment of sight or hearing. They seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties.
Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration, and with
little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we
lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill. I have often thought it would be a
blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time
during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence
would teach him the joys of sound.
Questions:
i. In which state, death is unimaginable? [1 mark]
ii. Only those who lack some faculty or sense appreciate them. Explain. [1 mark]
iii. Explain the behavior of people who are blessed with all senses behave? [2 marks]
iv. Most of us take life for granted. Justify writers statement? [2 marks]
C) Do as directed:
i. We (go) shopping last weekend. There (be) a great crowd at the shopping center. (Rewrite
the sentence using the correct form of the verbs in the bracket.)
ii. As soon as I (hear) the noise, I immediately (go) there. (Rewrite the sentence using the
correct form of the verbs in the bracket.)
iii. What a wonderful city this is! (Change into Assertive.)

a) Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Character is destiny. Character is that on which the destiny of a nation is built. One
cannot have a great nation with men of small character. We must have young men and
women who look upon others as the living image of themselves as our Shastras have so
often declared. But whether in public life or student life, we cannot reach great heights,
if we are lacking in character. We cannot climb the mountain when the ground at our
feet is crumbling. When the very basis of our structure is shaky how can we reach the
heights we have set before ourselves? We must all have humility. Here is a country
which we are all interested in building up for whatever service we take up, we should
not care for what we receive. We should know how much we can put into that service.
That should be the principle which should animate our young men and women. Ours is a
great country, we have had for centuries a great history. The whole of the East reflects
our culture.
i. Explain the importance of character. [1 Mark]
ii. Tell the ways of reaching the great heights we have set before ourselves [1 mark]

b) Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
We left Dehradun early in the morning and stopped by for breakfast at Mussouri. From
Mussouri the picturesque road heads north to Yamuna bridge, then to Barkot (where one
road branches to Gangotri). The road winds along the Yamuna river through luxurious
dense green vegetation to Hanumanchatti, the end of motorable road. The remaining
journey has to be undertaken on foot or pony. Yamunotri is only 13 km. from
Hanumanchatti. But it is better to proceed another 6 km. and have the night halt at
Janakibaichatti. The journey to Yamunotri is simply breathtaking. High snowcovered
peaks all around, glaciers, streams and waterfalls, vibrant green foliage, and the pristine
air are a sheer delight to tired city lungs. Yamunotri, 3322 metres above sea level, is
located on the western bank of the great peak of Banderpunch (meaning - monkeys tail)
which is 6315 metres high.
1. Name the place travellers used to stop for breakfast? [ 1marks]
2. Explain the reason, the journey to Yamunotri to be undertaken on foot? [1mark ]
3. State the reason, the journey to Yamunotri is breathtaking? [2 marks]

i. This machine has not been in use from 2016.
ii. The factories in Pune remain closed for Thursdays.
iii. I shall send you this CD latest on 10 February.
iv. What are you looking for so fixedly?
d) Replace the underlined words with correct preposition and rewrite following sentences:
Mr. Srivastava received a letter to his daughter who had been living in Chennai from
many years. Now she was coming home through air from Chennai. Everybody except
Mrs. Srivastava was standing outside to receive their daughter. The girl had brought
many presents for her brother, mother and father. The family kept on chatting since
midnight and went to bed very late.x
