SECTION A: READING SKILLS (20 Marks)

Reading Comprehension through Unseen Passages
1. Read the following text: (10 Marks)

(1) Detachment is not physically renouncing our possessions, profession, home and
family as many of us think. It is the ability to let go of all the desires, habits, emotions,
thoughts, speech and behaviour patterns that are negative or detrimental to our well
being in any way. Detachment and discrimination are interdependent; they mutually
strengthen each other and empower us. The more we are able to discriminate, the more
we are able to segregate our harmful desires and discard them. The more mental trash
we discard this way, the more we empower our Faculty of Discrimination.
(2) There is a simple technique we can all practice to strengthen our discrimination and
detachment and get rid of unnecessary desires. This will generate the awareness we
need to control our senses and mind and make them stop churning out desires every
moment. To practise this technique, we should select a quiet place when we have some
leisure time.
(3) Sit down with a few sheets of paper and a pen or a computer and make two lists. In
the first list, understand and write down your most important goal or agenda in this life.
Then meticulously add all the other goals that you would like to achieve. While you make
this list, you should think only about yourself. Include what you would like to contribute
to the welfare of your dependents, children and their forthcoming generations.
(4) Once you complete this, set it aside and begin the second list. List all your desires
here.They may be big or small, important or insignificant, right or wrong,demonic or
divine. Just remove the lid on the Pandora's Box and allow them all to spill out freely.
Don't try to censor or edit the list of desires at this stage. Complete the list first. After you
have made an exhaustive list, go over it to see which of these desires are truly
necessary, conducive to your meditation, helpful and favourable to you and beneficial to
others.
(5) If you have been serious and honest in doing this exercise, you will have long lists of
goals and desires and many of them maybe selfish or detrimental to your goal of
meditation, visualisation, self realisation, peace, happiness and bliss.This exercise will
help you develop frankness and honesty with yourself. You will touch your true feelings.

i. Detachment helps us physically renounce a position.

2. Read the following text. (10 Marks)

(1) The most characteristic feature of spiders is their ability to produce Silken threads.
Spiders normally have six finger - like Silk glands, called ‘spinnerets’ located beneath
their abdomen. To spin a web, the spider quizzes the silk out of its body through two
small holes. The liquid Silk is thicker than water and dries into a fine thread as soon as
it comes in contact with air. Spider silk is much stronger than steel and resists breakage
because of its elasticity. It can stretch up to 140% of its original length. The diameter of
these Silken threads is about 10,000 of an inch. Spiders use this silk to make webs to
trap their prey. The egg sacs of some spiders are also made of silk which pretreats the
unborn progeny. Sometimes the spider can also use its silk as a safety feature.A certain
species of spider ‘Phidippus Apacheanecs’ trails a safety line of fine silk as it jumps. It
uses the silk line to recover if it misses its target. The Silk of ‘Naphils Spider’ is the
strongest natural fibre known.
(2) The spinning of webs is a remarkable example of instinctive behaviour. A spider does
not have to learn how to make a web, although spinning itself can be adapted to unique
circumstances. For example, ‘Orb’ webs are circular in shape and take an hour to build.
Funnel spiders pin a net - like entrance to their homes, which helps to trap food. Similarly,
trapdoor spiders dig their homes and spin a trap door out of their silk for trapping insects.

Grass Spiders
Webs are weaved in grass, visible in

morning dew.
(3) As integral components of our biosphere, spiders have an intrinsic existence value.
They are efficient predators that play an important role in controlling the pests of cotton.
They are also a source of food for other creatures such as birds and wasps.Thus, the
presence of spiders is an ecological indicator signalling the health of the natural
ecosystem.
Answer the following questions, based on the passage.

Funnel spiders and trapdoor spiders build structures to trap insects for food, is

CASE-BASED QUESTIONS ( 4 x 3= 12)
34 The period from 1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign of Terror. pg16
Robespierre followed a policy of severe control and punishment. All those
whom he saw as being ‘enemies’ of the republic – ex-nobles and clergy,
members of other political parties, even members of his
own party who did not agree with his methods – were arrested,
imprisoned and then tried by a revolutionary tribunal. If the court found
them ‘guilty’ they were guillotined.
Robespierreís government issued laws placing a maximum ceiling on
wages and prices. Meat and bread were rationed. Peasants were forced
to transport their grain to the cities and sell it at prices fixed by the
government. The use of more expensive white flour was forbidden; all
citizens were required to eat the pain díÈgalitÈ (equality bread), a loaf
made of wholewheat. Equality was also sought to be practised through
forms of speech and address. Instead of the traditional Monsieur (Sir)
and Madame (Madam) all French men and women were henceforth
Citoyen and Citoyenne (Citizen).
34.1 Why is the period from 1793 to 1794 termed as the Reign of Terror? 1
34.2 What is a guillotine? 1
34.3 Mention any two laws implemented by Robespierre to bring equality and 2
liberty in the French Society.
35 Adolescents are the most important resource for the future. Nutrition
requirements of adolescents are higher than those of a normal child or
adult. Poor nutrition can lead to deficiency and stunted growth.
The adolescent girls have to be sensitised to the problems they confront.
Their awareness can be improved through the spread of literacy and
education among them.
The NPP 2000 provides a policy framework for imparting free and
compulsory school education up to 14 years of age, reducing infant
mortality rate to below 30 per 1000 live births, achieving universal

36 The PDS has proved to be the most effective instrument of government
policy over the years in stabilising prices and making food available to
consumers at affordable prices. It has been instrumental in averting
widespread hunger and famine by supplying food from surplus regions of
the country to the deficit ones. In addition, the prices have been under
revision in favour of poor households in general. The system, including
the minimum support price and procurement has contributed to an
increase in food grain production and provided income security to
farmers in certain regions.

21 SOVEREIGN People have supreme right to make decisions on internal 2
as well as external matters. No external power can dictate the
government of India.
SOCIALIST Wealth is generated socially and should be shared equally
by society. Government should regulate the ownership of land and
industry to reduce socio-economic inequalities.
SECULAR Citizens have complete freedom to follow any religion. But
there is no official religion. Government treats all religious beliefs and
practices with equal respect
DEMOCRATIC A form of government where people enjoy equal political
rights, elect their rulers and hold them accountable. The government is
run according to some basic rules.
REPUBLIC The head of the state is an elected person and not a
hereditary position.
JUSTICE Citizens cannot be discriminated on the grounds of caste,
religion and gender. Social inequalities have to be reduced. Government
should work for the welfare of all, especially of the disadvantaged
groups.
LIBERTY There are no unreasonable restrictions on the citizens in what
they think, how they wish to express their thoughts and the way they
wish to follow up their thoughts in action.
EQUALITY All are equal before the law. The traditional social
inequalities have to be ended. The government should ensure equal
opportunity for all.
FRATERNITY All of us should behave as if we are members of the same
family. No one should treat a fellow citizen as inferior
(any two with explanations)
22 -Industry was found in pockets. Prominent industrial areas were St Pr

Petersburg and Moscow. Craftsmen undertook much of the production, 30
but large factories existed alongside craft workshops. Many factories 2
were set up in the 1890s, when Russia’s railway network was extended,
and foreign investment in industry increased. Coal production doubled
and iron and steel output quadrupled. By the 1900s, in some areas
factory workers and craftsmen were almost equal in number.
- Most industry was the private property of industrialists. Government

supervised large factories to ensure minimum wages and limited hours of
work. But factory inspectors could not prevent rules being broken. In craft
units and small workshops, the working day was sometimes 15 hours,
compared with 10 or 12 hours in factories. Accommodation varied from
rooms to dormitories.
23 Coastal Plain: 2
-Western coast plain lies between the western ghat and Arabian sea.
Eastern coast plain lies between eastern ghats and Bay of Bengal
-Eastern Coast is sandwiched between the Eastern Ghats and Bay of
Bengal
- The northern part of Western Coast is called Konkan and Southern is
called Malabar Coast.
-The Eastern Coast is referred as Northern Circars
( Any two points)
24 - It led to widespread protests and counter protests, some of which were 2

violent.
-People reacted strongly because this decision affected thousands of job

opportunities.
-Some felt that the existence of inequalities among people of different

castes in India necessitated job reservations. They felt, this would give a
fair opportunity to those communities who so far had not adequately
been represented in government employment.
-Others felt that this was unfair as it would deny equality of opportunity
to those who did not belong to backward communities.
-Some felt that this would perpetuate caste feelings among people and
hamper national unity.
(Any two points)
25 Liberals 3
-Liberals wanted a nation which tolerated all religions.
-Liberals also opposed the uncontrolled power of dynastic rulers
-They wanted to safeguard the rights of individuals against governments
-They argued for a representative, elected parliamentary government,
subject to laws interpreted by a well-trained judiciary that was
independent of rulers and officials
- They did not believe in universal adult franchise, that is, the right of
every citizen to vote.
Radicals
-Radicals wanted a nation in which the government was based on the
majority of a country’s population.
-Many supported women’s suffragette movements.
-They opposed the privileges of great landowners and wealthy factory
owners.
-They were not against the existence of private property but disliked
concentration of property in the hands of a few.
26 Measures to reduce poverty in Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Pg

Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and West Bengal. States like Punjab and Haryana 35
have traditionally succeeded in reducing poverty with the help of high 3
agricultural growth rates. Kerala has focused more on human resource
development. In West Bengal, land reform measures have helped in
reducing poverty. In Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu public distribution
of food grains could have been responsible for the improvement.
