1. Read the following poem.
“For oh,” say the children, “we are weary
And we cannot run or leap;
If we cared for any meadows, it were merely
To drop down in them and sleep.
Our knees tremble sorely in the stooping,
We fall upon our faces, trying to go;
And underneath our heavy eyelids drooping
The reddest flower would look as pale as snow.
For, all day, we drag our burden tiring
Through the coal – dark, underground;
Or, all day we drive the wheels or iron
In the factories, round and round.”
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Question 1.
1. What do you mean by the phrase ‘reddest flower’ in the expression ‘The red¬dest
flower would look as pale as snow’ ?
A) a flower which is red B) a rose flower
C) the childhood D) the red flower in the child’s eye
2. The mood of the children in the poem is
A) joyful B) tired
C) angry D) jealous
3. “And we cannot run or leap” – Why do you think they cannot run or leap ?
4. How does the work affect the children ?
5. What is the central idea of the poem ?
2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
Happiness is not something far away and unattainable. Happiness does not depend on
circumstances or objects. It is an inseparable part of our consciousness, of our
essence, but hidden and covered from sight by our thoughts, desires and worries. We all
seek happiness but few, very-few, indeed, get it. We are unhappy partly because we
desire much more than what we can hope to attain. Our countless desires are hard to be
satisfied. And that is what makes us so sad in life. The secret of happiness lies in
the simplification of life. Simple living encourages high thinking. It leads to
contentment. Contentment gives us inner wealth, the wealth of the mind and of
the soul.
2. A contented man devotes himself to virtues; a man can feel true happiness. I do not
mean that for simplification of life, a man should become an ascetic. The
happiness of a sadhu is of a negative kind. I want positive kind of happiness.
For this I must live in the midst of life and faithfully carry out my responsibilities
to my home and my country. But all this should be done in the spirit of selfless
service.
3. A man, who wants to lead a happy life, should also make others happy. In making
others happy he will taste real and lasting happiness. There is a kind of joy in
serving others with virtuous motives, in sacrificing what one has for the good of
others. An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. The secret of
perfect happiness lies in renunciation.
4. Wealth may give us joy for a while and fame may provide us with fleeting
excitement. But they cannot give us permanent happiness. Kings have everything to
make them happy and yet they feel unhappy. It is because they do not practice
renunciation. There is a sense of joy in doing one’s work honestly and efficiently.
A research-worker feels joy in research and a journalist in writing. In doing one’s
duty sincerely, one feels peace of mind which is an important essence of happiness. It
is only by cultivating spirit of renunciation, self sacrifice, contentment and science
work that one can really be happy. The strings of misfortune spare none but they will
not cow such a person.
5. Happiness is like the sun, it is often hidden by the clouds of thoughts, worries and
desires.We have to scatter and dissolve them to experience happiness. You don’t have
to create happiness. All you have to do is calm your mind, because when there is a
quiet mind and inner peace, there is happiness.
Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions.
i) Which of the following is the correct chain of things, as mentioned in the
passage, leading to happiness?
a) contentment, high thinking, simple living, inner wealth
b) simple living, high thinking, inner wealth, contentment
c) high thinking, simple living, inner wealth, contentment
d) simple living, high thinking, contentment, inner wealth
ii) What does a contented man do?
a) He assimilates the basic virtues of life.
b) He faces boldly the adversities of life.
c) He encounters the strings of misfortunes.
d) He gives up bad habits effortlessly
iii) What, according to the passage, is a positive kind of happiness?
a) Keeping our motives and feelings under control.
b) Love for life and a country.
c) Leading a simple life of an ascetic.
d) Carrying out all worldly activities in the spirit of selfless service.
iv) A man who wants to live a happy life should:
a) make others happy. b) master the art of renunciation.
c) pursue wealth and fame. d) inculcate the virtues of life.
v) Choose the option that best captures the central idea of the passage from the
given quotes.
“Life is about creating and living “Imagination is more important than
experiences that are worth knowledge.” - Albert Einstein
sharing.” -Steve Jobs
(1) (2)
“Happiness is not something readymade; it “When you want something, all the universe
comes from your own actions.” conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
—Dalai Lama —Paulo Coelho

(3) (4)
 a) Option (1) b) Option (2)
c) Option (3) d) Option (4)

D. What is Undernourishment?
1. Read the extract and answer the question that follows:
Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a
spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established, traditional
institutions of state and society—like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies,
property and the family—should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not
propose a return to the society of prerevolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from
the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen
traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make state power more effective
and strong. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the
abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of
Europe. In 1815, representatives of the European powers—Britain, Russia, Prussia
and Austria— who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a
settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke
Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of
undoing most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic
wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution,
was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon.
 A series of states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French
expansion in future:

1. Identify the purpose to convene Congress of Vienna in 1815.

2.What did conservatives focus on at the Congress of Vienna?
3. How did the Congress of Vienna ensure peace in Europe?
3. Read the extract and answer the question that follows:
In1956, an Act was passed to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, thus
disregarding Tamil.
The governments followed preferential policies that favored Sinhala applicants for
university positions and government jobs. A new constitution stipulated that the state
shall protect and foster Buddhism. All these government measures, coming one after
the other, gradually increased the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils.
They felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders
was sensitive to their language and culture. They felt that the constitution and
government policies denied them equal political rights, discriminated against them in
getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their interests. As a result, the
relations between the Sinhala and Tamil communities strained over time. The Sri
Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggles for the recognition of Tamil as an
official language, for regional autonomy and equality of opportunity in securing
education and jobs. But their demand for more autonomy to provinces populated by
the Tamils was repeatedly denied. By 1980s several political organizations were
formed demanding an independent Tamil Eelam in northern and eastern parts of Sri
Lanka.
1. What is the moral reason behind power sharing?
2. What are the demands of Sri Lankan tamils?
3.For a long time it was believed that all power of government must reside in one
person or group of persons located at one place. Give reason.
4. The tension between Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities was
more acute in Brussels’. Give reason.
5. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow-
Some human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining and quarrying
too have contributed significantly in land degradation. Mining sites are
abandoned after excavation work is complete leaving deep scars and traces of
over-burdening. In states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and
Odisha deforestation due to mining have caused severe land degradation. In states
like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra overgrazing is one of
the main reasons for land degradation. In the states of Punjab, Haryana, western
Uttar Pradesh, over irrigation is responsible for land degradation due to water
logging leading to increase in salinity and alkalinity in the mineral processing like
grinding of limestone for cement industry and calcite and soapstone for ceramic
industry generate huge quantity of dust in the atmosphere. It retards the process
of infiltration of water into the soil after it settles down on the land. In recent
years, industrial effluents as waste have become a major source of land and water
pollution in many parts of the country have contributed significantly in land
degradation. There are many ways to solve the problems of land degradation.
Afforestation and proper management of grazing can help to some extent.
 Planting of shelter belts of plants, control on over grazing, stabilization of sand
dunes by growing thorny bushes is some of the methods to check land
degradation in arid areas. Proper management of waste lands, control of mining
activities, proper discharge and disposal of industrial effluents and wastes after
treatment can reduce land and water degradation in industrial and suburban areas.
1. Explain the interdependent relationship between nature, technology and
institutions.
2. “Resources are a function of human activities”. Elaborate the statement with
suitable arguments.
3. How far it is correct to say that the availability of resources is a necessary
condition for the development of any region? Explain.
4. How far it is correct to say that it is possible to reverse land degradation?

4. A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 48 cm in front of a
mirror by keeping the flame at a distance of 12 cm from its pole.
i) Suggest the type of mirror he should use.
ii) Find the linear magnification of the image produced.
iii) How far is the image from its object?
iv) Draw ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
Read the below given paragraph and answer the following questions:
5. As we know that, in case of concave mirrors when a ray of light parallel to principal
axis strikes the mirror and after reflection it passes through principal focus of the
concave mirror. Also, a ray which is passing through the principal focus of the
concave mirror after reflection goes parallel to the principal axis. And the ray of
light which is passing through the centre of curvature of concave mirror after
reflection retraces the same path in backward direction. Because of converging
property of concave mirrors they are used in solar furnaces to concentrate more light to
produce huge amount of heat energy. They are also used in search lights, torches,
head lights of vehicles so that a strong parallel beam of light will be produced. Also,
in case of shaving mirrors concave mirrors are used to see larger face of the
person.
While convex mirrors are used as rear view mirror in vehicles to see the traffic
behind the person for safe driving. As these mirrors are curved outwards they has
wider field of view. In convex mirrors the image formed is always diminished,
virtual and erect.
In concave mirror, when the object is at infinity the image formed will be at focus F
and which is highly diminished, point sized, real and inverted.
i) In case of concave mirror when the image formed is virtual and erect?
ii) In which case the image formed is of same size as the object in case of concave
mirrors? Draw ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
iii)Which mirrors are called as converging and diverging mirror?
iv)According to sign conventions what is the sign of focal length of concave mirror
and convex mirror.
