CASE BASED QUESTIONS

34 Read the following source carefully and answer the questions that follow: 82 (H) 1+1+2=4

The earliest factories in England came up by the 1730s. But it was only in the
late eighteenth century that the number of factories multiplied.
The first symbol of the new era was cotton. Its production boomed in the late
nineteenth century. In 1760 Britain was importing 2-5 million pounds of raw
cotton to feed its cotton industry. By 1787 this import soared to 22 million
pounds. This increase was linked to a number of changes within the process
of production. Let us look briefly at some of these.
A series of inventions in the eighteenth century increased the efficacy of each
step of the production process (carding, twisting and spinning, and rolling).
They enhanced the output per worker, enabling each worker to produce
more, and they made possible the production of storage threads and yarn.
Then Richard Arkwright created the cotton mill. Till this time, as you have
seen, cloth production was spread all over the countryside and carried out
within village households. But now, the costly new machines could be
purchased, set up and maintained in the mill. Within the mill all the processes
were brought together under one roof and management. This allowed a more
careful supervision over the production process, a watch over quality, and
the regulation of labour, all of which had been difficult to do when production
was in the countryside.

(34.1) When did the earliest factories come up? (1)

35 Read the following source carefully and answer the questions 22 (G) 1+1+2=4

that follow:
A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the
flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment. "Dam" refers to the
reservoir rather than the structure. Most dams have a section called a
spillway or weir over which or through which it is intended that water will
flow either intermittently or continuously. Dams are classified according to
structure, intended purpose or height. Based on structure and the materials
used, dams are classified as timber dams, embankment dams or masonry
dams, with several subtypes. According to the height, dams can be
categorised as large dams and major dams or alternatively as low dams,
medium height dams and high dams.

(35.1) What does the word Dam' actually refer to?

36 Read the following source carefully and answer the questions that 9 (PS) 1+1+2=4
follow:

Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties,
pressure groups and movements control or influence those in power. In a
democracy, the citizens must have freedom to choose among various
contenders for power. In contemporary democracies, this takes the form of
competition among different parties. Such competition ensures that power
does not remain in one hand. In the long run, power is shared among different
political parties that represent different ideologies and social groups.
Sometimes this kind of sharing can be direct, when two or more parties form
an alliance to contest elections. If their alliance is elected, they form a
coalition government and thus share power. In a democracy, we find interest
groups, such as those of traders, businessmen, industrialists, farmers and
industrial workers. They also will have a share in governmental power, either
through participation in governmental committees or bringing influence on
the decision-making process.

(36.1) What does competition among different parties ensure?

i. Such competition ensures that power does not remain in one hand.
