SAMPLE PAPER-1

ENGLISH USAGE
1) The coconut is an unusual food for many reasons. It is technically a seed,
produced by the coconut palm tree, and as such is one of the largest edible
seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the
seed world-the interior consists of both "meat and water. The meat is the
white pith with which we are all familiar as it is used extensively for cooking
and flavorings the coconut water is a white liquid that is very sweet and thirst
quenching
Portuguese explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it
as coco, meaning ghost in their language. The three dimples and the hairy
texture reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has retained that name
ever since The coconut has many varied uses. It is used to make margarine, as
well as various cooking oils, and these cooking oils are used by fast-food
restaurants around the world to make such diet staples as French fries. The
coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing
beverage right off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various
sports drinks because of its isotonic electrolyte properties. Even the shell itself
has many uses, including cattle food and fertilizer
Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food.
Coconut oil is used for cosmetics, medicines, and can even be used in place of
diesel fuel. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool, such as a
buffer for shining wood floors
The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on
Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird
houses! And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.
The coconut palm tree, which produces the nut, also produces countless
useful items. It's no wonder that the coconut palm has been called the tree of
life.
