Q No.1: Read the passage and answer the questions given below it in the context of the
passage. /5

Chocolate that we eat starts with cacao trees, also called cocoa trees. Cacao trees grow in a
warm climate like Central and South America, Africa or parts of Asia. This tree produces a
seed pod and cocoa beans are the seeds inside the pod. Cocoa beans eventually become
chocolate.
At the chocolate factory, the beans are cleaned and then they are roasted for up to 2 hours in
large dryer. As they dry, the beans turn to a rich brown colour.
After roasting the shell of the cocoa bean is removed and the inside of the cocoa beans are
then ground by heavy steel plates. The grinding process forms a chocolate liquid. When
chocolate liquid is molded and cooled, the product is called unsweetened or bitter chocolate.
Sometimes the chocolate liquid is made into dry cocoa powder. When cocoa is made, oil from
the cocoa bean is pressed out and is known as cocoa butter.
Add sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla flavoring to unsweetened chocolate and you have a
chocolate candy. If you also add milk, the product is milk chocolate.
Next the milk chocolate mixture goes through heating and cooling cycles before being
molded. Finally it is molded into milk chocolate candy bars or it is made in to ten-pound
blocks of chocolate that are sold to other candy bar manufacturers.

Q No.3: Read the passage and answer the questions given below it in the context of the
passage. /5

‘My name’s Merrylegs,’ said the other horse. ‘I am very handsome. I carry the young ladies on
my back. They like me very much. Are you going to live next to me?’
‘I think so,’ I said.
‘Well, are you a good horse? Do you get angry all the time like that other horse?’
Just then I saw another horse in the stable. She looked very angry. Her name was Ginger. She
looked at me and said. ‘So it was you. Why did you take my place? That was my place, not
yours.’
‘Im sorry,’ I said. ‘I didn’t do anything – It was my master. He put me here.’
In the afternoon Ginger went out. And Merrylegs told me more about her.
‘Ginger often gets angry with our master, and his family. And the master’s children are
frightened of her. They don’t come to the stable anymore, to bring me an apple, a carrot, or a
piece of bread. Are you calm and gentle? Then they’ll come back’
I told Merrylegs that I was calm and gentle.
‘Maybe somebody was horrible to Ginger in the past. You see, I’m twelve years old, and very
clever. I can tell you this is the best place in the country for a horse. They’re very kind to us.
There is John. He rides us. And there’s young James, who helps John. He’s also very nice.’
The next morning, John took me out. I carried him on my back, and we ran to the river. When
we got back we saw my master, Squire Gordon, and his wife.
