Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The first time that Agha Shahid Ali spoke to me about his approaching death was on 25 April
2001. The conversation began routinely. I had telephoned to remind him that we had been
invited to a friend’s house for lunch. Although he had been under treatment for cancer for
some fourteen months, Shahid was still on his feet and perfectly lucid, except for occasional
lapses of memory. I heard him thumbing through his engagement book and then suddenly he
said: ‘Oh dear. I can’t see a thing.’ There was a brief pause and then he added: ‘I hope this
doesn’t mean that I’m dying...’ I did not know how to respond: his voice was completely at
odds with the content of what he had just said, light to the point of jocularity. I mumbled
something innocuous: ‘No Shahid — of course not. You’ll be fine.’ He cut me short. In a tone of
voice that was at once quizzical and direct, he said: ‘When it happens I hope you’ll write
something about me.’
I was shocked into silence and a long moment passed before I could bring myself to say the
things that people say on such occasions. ‘Shahid you’ll be fine; you have to be strong...’ From
the window of my study I could see a corner of the building in which he lived, some eight
blocks away. It was just a few months since he moved there: he had been living a few miles
away, in Manhattan, when he had a sudden blackout in February 2000. After tests revealed
that he had a malignant brain tumour, he decided to move to Brooklyn, to be close to his
youngest sister, Sameetah, who teaches at the Pratt Institute—a few blocks away from the
street where I live. Shahid ignored my reassurances. He began to laugh and it was then that I
realised that he was dead serious. I understood that he was entrusting me with a quite
specific charge: he wanted me to remember him not through the spoken recitatives of
memory and friendship, but through the written word.
He knew that my instincts would have led me to search for reasons to avoid writing about his
death: I would have told myself that I was not a poet; that our friendship was of recent date;
that there were many others who knew him much better and would be writing from greater
understanding and knowledge. All this Shahid had guessed and he had decided to shut off
those routes while there was still time. ‘You must write about me.’ Finally, I said: ‘Shahid, I will:
I’ll do the best I can.’

Comprehension:
The drainage systems of India are mainly controlled by the broad relief features of the
subcontinent. Accordingly, the Indian rivers are divided into two major groups: the Himalayan
rivers; and the Peninsular rivers.
Apart from originating from the two major physiographic regions of India, the Himalayan and
the Peninsular rivers are different from each other in many ways. Most of the Himalayan rivers
are perennial. It means that they have water throughout the year. These rivers receive water
from rain as well as from melted snow from the lofty mountains. The major Himalayan rivers
are the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. These rivers are long, and are joined by many
large and important tributaries. A river along with its tributaries may be called a river system.
The two major Himalayan rivers, the Indus and the Brahmaputra originate from the north of
the mountain ranges. They cut through the mountains making gorges in the upper course.
The perennial Himalayan rivers have long courses from their source to the sea. They perform
intensive erosional activity in their upper courses and carry huge loads of silt and sand with
their swift current. In the middle and the lower courses, these rivers form meanders, oxbow
lakes, levees and many other depositional features in their floodplains as their speed
slackens. They also have well developed deltas.
A large number of the Peninsular rivers like the Godavari, Kaveri and Krishna are seasonal, as
their flow is dependent on rainfall. During the dry season when it doesn’t rain, even the large
rivers have reduced flow of water in their channels. The Peninsular rivers have shorter and
shallower courses as compared to their Himalayan counterparts. However, some of them
originate in the central highlands and flow towards the west. Most of the rivers of peninsular
India originate in the Western Ghats and flow towards the Bay of Bengal.
SubQuestion No : 36
Q.36 Erosional activity takes place in the upper course of the river because of:
Ans 1. the presence of flood plains
2. huge loads of silt and sand
3. the great speed of water
4. the reduced flow of water

Comprehension:
The Roman Empire covered a vast stretch of territory that included most of Europe as we
know it today and a large part of the Fertile Crescent and North Africa.
The Roman empire embraced a wealth of local cultures and languages; that women had a
stronger legal position then than they do in many countries today; but also that much of the
economy was run on slave labour, denying freedom to substantial numbers of persons. From
the fifth century onwards, the empire fell apart in the west but remained intact and
exceptionally prosperous in its eastern half.
Roman historians have a rich collection of sources to go on, which we can broadly divide into
three groups: (a) texts, (b) documents and (c) material remains. Textual sources include
letters, speeches, sermons, laws, and histories of the period written by contemporaries. These
were usually called ‘Annals’ because the narrative was constructed on a year-by-year basis.
Documentary sources include mainly inscriptions and papyri. Inscriptions were usually cut on
stone, so a large number survive, in both Greek and Latin. The ‘papyrus’ was a reed-like plant
that grew along the banks of the Nile in Egypt and was processed to produce sheets of writing
material that was very widely used in everyday life. Thousands of contracts, accounts, letters
and official documents survive ‘on papyrus’ and have been published by scholars who are
called ‘papyrologists’. Material remains include a very wide assortment of items that mainly
archaeologists discover (for example, through excavation and field survey), for example,
buildings, monuments and other kinds of structures, pottery, coins, mosaics, even entire
landscapes. Each of these sources can only tell us just so much about the past, and
combining them can be a fruitful exercise, but how well this is done depends on the historian’s
skill!
SubQuestion No : 46

2. People who processed papyrus into sheets

Comprehension:
Cambridge was my metaphor for England, and it was strange that when I left it had become
altogether something else, because I had met Stephen Hawking there. It was on a walking
tour through Cambridge that the guide mentioned Stephen Hawking, ‘poor man, who is quite
disabled now, though he is a worthy successor to Isaac Newton, whose chair he has at the
university.’ And I started, because I had quite forgotten that this most brilliant and completely
paralysed astrophysicist, (scholar of astrophysics — branch of physics dealing with stars,
planets, etc.) the author of A Brief History of Time, one of the biggest best-sellers ever, lived
here. When the walking tour was done, I rushed to a phone booth and, almost tearing the cord
so it could reach me outside, phoned Stephen Hawking’s house. There was his assistant on
the line and I told him I had come in a wheelchair from India (perhaps he thought I had
propelled myself all the way) to write about my travels in Britain. I had to see Professor
Hawking — even ten minutes would do. “Half an hour,” he said. “From three-thirty to four.” And
suddenly I felt weak all over. Growing up disabled, you get fed up with people asking you to be
brave, as if you have a courage account on which you are too lazy to draw a cheque. The only
thing that makes you stronger is seeing somebody like you, achieving something huge. Then
you know how much is possible and you reach out further than you ever thought you could. “I
haven’t been brave,” said his disembodied computer-voice, the next afternoon. “I’ve had no
choice.” Surely, I wanted to say, living creatively with the reality of his disintegrating body was
a choice? But I kept quiet, because I felt guilty every time I spoke to him, forcing him to
respond. There he was, tapping at the little switch in his hand, trying to find the words on his
computer with the only bit of movement left to him, his long, pale fingers. Every so often, his
eyes would shut in frustrated exhaustion. And sitting opposite him I could feel his anguish, the
mind buoyant with thoughts that came out in frozen phrases and sentences stiff as corpses.
