2,, CBSE Second Semester English Language and Literature Chapter 10,, Chapters, Exercises,! ,, Discourse passage,, Carefully read the passage given below. ,, Paragraph 1, India 2020, by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, , 1. Nation is built by the imagination and relentless hard work of generations. One generation transfers the fruits of its labors to another, which then carries on the mission. As the next generation also has its own dreams and aspirations for the future of the country, it adds its own to the national vision; this is what the next generation strives to achieve. This process has been going on, and the nation is moving toward glory and strength. Vision 1: Freedom for India, 2. Any organization, society or even a country without a vision is like a ship sailing on the high seas without any purpose and direction. It is a clear national vision that constantly drives people towards their goals. 3. Our last generation, the glorious generation of freedom fighters led by Mahatma Gandhi and many others formulated the vision of a free India for the nation. This is the first vision of the people for the country. Therefore, it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and soon became a great inspiration and motivation for the people to join in the freedom struggle movement collectively. People from all walks of life worked together and worked hard to win freedom for the country. Second Vision: A Developed India 4. The next generation (of which I belong) set India on the path of economic, agricultural and technological development. But India has long been in the ranks of developing countries. Let us work together to develop a second national vision for India. I believe this is very possible and within 15 to 20 years. Developed country status, 5. What does developed country status mean to ordinary people? This means the great transformation of our country's national economy, becoming one of the largest economies in the world, compatriots living above the poverty line, with high levels of education and health, national security being reasonably guaranteed, and some key areas of capacity base being significantly improved, including exports in The production of high-quality products in the country increases, thereby making the countrymen generally rich. 6. What are the common linkages needed to accomplish these subgoals? The country's scientific and technological prowess is the key to achieving this developed status. Building on our strength, 7. The next question that comes to mind is: How is this possible? We must comprehensively and stylishly build and strengthen our national infrastructure. Therefore, we must build around our existing strengths, including our large pool of talented scientists and technicians and our abundant natural resources. .

(Nelson Manella), (d) Liberty cannot be granted in the truest sense; it must be done to this point. (F. D. Roosevelt), , Passage 2, 1. Archeology as a profession faces two main problems. First, it is the poor of the poor. Only negligible funding is available for excavations, and even less for publishing results and protecting excavated sites. However, archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. AVC funds archaeology and reduces the number of illegal digs. I recommend that scientific archaeological expeditions and government authorities sell unearthed artefacts on the open market. These sales will provide significant funding for the excavation and conservation of the archaeological site and the publication of the results. At the same time, they will break the grip of illegal miners on the market, thereby reducing the incentive to engage in illegal activities. 3. You may object to professionals mining knowledge instead of money. Furthermore, ancient artefacts are part of our global cultural heritage and should be enjoyed by all, not sold to the highest bidder.

Page 7:
4, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th, , Bidder. I agree. Don't sell anything of unique artistic or scientific value. But, you might answer, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. We are here to part. In theory, you may be right that every artifact has potential scientific value. Actually, you are wrong. , 4. I'm referring to the thousands of ceramic vases and antique lamps that are essentially copies of each other. In a small excavation in Cyprus, archaeologists recently discovered 2,000 small, almost indistinguishable jars in a courtyard, and even found a large number of precious royal seal imprints, called "melekh handles" - more than 4,000 to date example. , 5. The museum basement is simply large enough to store artifacts that may be discovered in the future. There wasn't even enough money to catalog the finds; as a result, they were never found and became as inaccessible as if they had never been found. In fact, with the help of computers, artefacts for sale are more accessible than those stored in crowded museum basements. Before the auction, everyone can take pictures and save the list of buyers in the computer. Buyers may even need to agree to return parts if necessary for scientific purposes. It is unrealistic to suggest that illegal excavations stop if cultural relics are sold on the open market. But the need for secret products will be greatly reduced. Who would want an unmarked jar when another jar is known and had its stratigraphic age excavated by professional archaeologists (454 words)? , question, answer any five of the seven questions, choosing the correct option, based on your understanding of the passage. , (i) According to the authors, the following are the lessons learned during the excavation? , (a) Archeology is the most important branch of study. , (b) Finding and preserving artifacts is integral to understanding our cultural history. , (c) There are many valuable hidden items on Earth that must be found and sold. , (d) Nothing should be hidden for too long. ,, (ii) Refer to the above paragraphs to select the option to complete the dialogue correctly. , Dev: I think in order to prevent old finds from being sold illegally, we should sell them on the open market. , Prachi: I agree, but... .......... ., (a) only non-imported and heavily excavated artefacts, (b) not artefacts of scientific or historical importance, (c) do we not It should be discussed that it is not our decision or concern, (d) (a) and (b), , (iii) choose the option that best conveys the message, in – "Actually, you are wrong.", (a) a One has to surrender everything to God and trust that everything will be alright. , (b) one must strive to do better in life, every step of the way. ,, (c) One cannot despair of life, try one's best to make things better. , (d) Money and success are the most important things in life. ,, (iv) Which of the following describes a person majoring in archaeology? , (a) Artifact collectors, (b) Knowledge seekers, (c) Knowledge smugglers, (d) Acquiring knowledge for commercial purposes, (v) Select the underlined option that correctly replaces "secret".

5, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th, , Passage 3, 1. Do children really need such a long summer vacation? , recently an expert asked this question. Obviously, taking such a long break hinders their development and hinders their learning process. Let's review your book, maybe that's what the experts say, if not so much. One would think kids do too much over the holidays rather than too little, as lessons, classes, camps and workshops involving swimming, art, character development, music, computers and more seem to cram their calendars. Even travel in the name of vacation seems full of exotic and bespoke destinations, and experiences accumulated in a short period of time. We can go to Europe in 10 days, Australia in a week and come back with digital memories and suitcases packed. In a sense, vacations are no longer about rest, but an intense pursuit of experiences not usually found in everyday life. Because every year the holidays mean one thing and one thing only - you return to your home country, bond with the emotional longing of extended family, and spend two years with a group of uncles, aunts, and cousins. moon. Bachelor of Science. An entire generation's happiest childhood memories seem to revolve around this annual ritual of homecoming and affirmation. Even as we return to the melting pot of community and continuity represented by the family, we make tacit apologies for the separation that the individual brings. Summer break is a difficult time full of togetherness, like who we are and what we seep from our individual selves into the collective pot. 3. Summer isn't really a break, it's a joint. It is a bridge used to reaffirm a person's connection to the larger community. One did not travel, the other returned. This is not an attempt at the new and extraordinary, but an attempt to emphasize the strength of the old and the ordinary. As times have changed, so has what we look for in our summer vacations. Today, we are even more attached, and work and summer vacations help us temporarily detach from this new source of identity. Summer break is becoming like a working holiday, especially for the kids. We now supplement our individual selves, and we do so with more material than we have in the past. But for people who grew up in different eras, summer vacation is the best time in their life, (429 words). Right, option. , (i) According to the article, the author nostalgicly refers to ancient summer vacations, what lessons can be drawn from the following? , (a) That's the age of adventure and new experiences that everyone is looking for. , (b) This is when everyone goes home and relaxes. , (c) This is the time when everyone apologizes to their loved ones. , (d) This is the time to mend broken relationships and build new ones. , , (ii) Refer to the above paragraphs to choose the option to complete the dialogue appropriately. , Jai: Vacation starts next week. Let's get together and decide where we want to tour. What do you think? , Prateek: No, I can't go with you. My parents,..., (a) they took me and my siblings to our grandparents village to meet our relatives, (b) they wanted me to stay at home and continue working on my studies, (c) to visit my grandparents and keep me at home, (d) want me to work during the holidays, (iii) choose the option that best translates the message to, 'Summer isn't really a break' , but a joint.', (a) It is a time to relax from the busy life. , (b) Friends will meet up during summer vacation to enjoy some time together. , (c) This is a career development time. , (d) People have the opportunity to connect with family members. , , (iv) As the author emphasizes in the first paragraph, what qualities do children in today's world exhibit during summer vacation?

In recent days, Delhi residents have protested against government approval to cut down 14,000 trees in south Delhi. Faced with harsh criticism, the state construction company tasked with rebuilding six colonies in South Delhi on Monday assured the Delhi High Court that no, the project would only provide temporary relief by cutting down trees before July 4. Many of the proposed trees are mature native fruit trees that provide fresh air, shade and water for humans and are home to many bird species. These areas of Delhi act as the "lungs" of the city. However, project reports ignore these qualities. 2. Large buildings in India are difficult to manage. The ministry systematically lobbied for its exclusion from the country's environmental regulations and managed to win privileges for itself in the environmental formalization process. As of 2006, most construction projects are approved on the basis of application forms rather than detailed appraisal reports. In 2014, schools, colleges and educational institution dormitories were exempted from environmental permits as long as they follow certain sustainability parameters. In 2016, developments smaller than 20,000 square meters were allowed, provided they submitted a self-declaration of compliance with environmental standards. Due to these privileges, construction projects make a significant contribution to urban air and noise pollution, as well as the city's high water consumption. Compensatory reforestation to replace project felled trees has failed due to low survival rates, low seedling rates and lack of monitoring. 3. However, all regulators are wary of large buildings. The Urban Development Minister said the public campaign was "uninformed". But this is far from the truth. In an urban cultural society with high internet penetration, the lack of official information on urban development and its impact can only be understood as an indirect form of public silence. There are no public hearings on urban works, projects, and the government feels that citizens have nothing to say about them. Since Delhi is run by numerous agencies, you can run from one pillar to another and still not know who is in charge of what. Residents are now calling on the government to redesign the city in an inclusive way. Governments could commit to reviewing these projects. The already huge air pollution problem plagues the city in winter. What is the biggest lesson that can be learned from the above passage from the following? ,, (a) Steps must be taken to ensure that no government can do whatever it wants and hurt someone in the process. , (b) steps must be taken to ensure that any construction is in compliance with environmental regulations. , (c) Measures should be taken to ensure a large number of trees are planted around cities. , (d) The public shall take steps to prevent any construction that may adversely affect the environment.

7, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th, , (ii) Refer to the above paragraphs to choose the option that can adequately complete the conversation. , Kajal: Many trees were felled to make room for new apartments near our community. Yes, very unfair. The birds are gone. don't you agree? , Vaibhav: ..................., (a) No, I do not agree. We need more houses to live in, (b) yes, I do. But that's not bad. They will build houses out of wood, (c) no, no. None of our business, (d) yes, I know. This is very detrimental to nature and all living things,,, (iii) Choose the option that best conveys the following message: "These areas of Derry act as the 'lungs' of the city.", (a) Due to the presence of many trees, the Department of Urban Development Provides oxygen to large parts of the city. , (b) Urban societies provide oxygen to large parts of cities due to the presence of many trees. , (c) The South Delhi area provides oxygen to most of the city due to the presence of many trees. , (d) Delhi uses most of the oxygen in the city due to the abundance of trees. , (iv) What qualities do large architectural firms exhibit when extracting privileges for them in the process of environmental formalization? Choose one of the options below. , (a) cunning and selfishness, (b) charity and improvement, (c) mistreatment of the poor, (d) evil and hostility, (v) A Portmanteau [words like brunch (breakfast +, lunch )] is a word spelling in which parts of several words are combined to form a new word. , From the options below, choose the compound word that appears in the paragraph above. , (a) Changes , (c) Smog,, (b) Knockdown, (d) Recharge,, (vi) Select the qualities discussed in the row - "However, these qualities were omitted from the project report". , (1) The presence of trees brings benefits to all living things. , (2) People's enthusiasm for protecting the environment. , (3) The importance of trees in the environment. , (4) The lax approach of the judiciary. , (5) Destruction and noise pollution accompanying the project. , (a) 1 and 3, (b) 2, 3 and 5, (c) 1, 4 and 5, (d) 2 and 4,, (vii) choose the option that contains the correct meaning of the given set language. , Treat/handle with kid gloves, (a) Annoy someone by treating them like a child., (b) Equal someone with a child., (c) Dealing with someone with delicate and wit. , (d) To say that someone is too naive. , , Paragraph 5, 1. Everything a man sees and every sound he hears is part of a life created for it as a whole. No matter how important or insignificant, no event in the universe happens by chance. No flower blooms or withers by chance. No one is born or dies by pure coincidence. No one gets sick by accident, nor does it develop uncontrollably. In each case, these events were specifically ordained by God from the moment they were created. 2. Destiny is what you create unconsciously. You can also create it consciously. You can rewrite; everything we do in the form of mental processes does. If you can get in touch with your inner core, if you can experience that the source of creation is within you, and then turn your full attention to yourself, you can rewrite your own destiny. As far as I know this is true. .If I take all these things from you, including your body and mind, which are just accumulation, you will feel like nobody. 4. When you become a true individual, your destiny is yours. The individual comes from "indivisible" - it can no longer be divided. It can't be everywhere. The reason why people who are in a spiritual process, rushing for spiritual growth, not getting marriage, kids and relationships is because the moment you have a wife or a husband, you fall into a trap. "I" identifies with others. Sanyasi and Brahmacharya just mean to bring your attention back to you. When I say "you", it's just "you", not your body or mind.

Page 11:
8, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10, , 5. If you can't do that, choose a status. When you say "you," make it you and your guru. You will not hesitate to attach to the Guru because you can have sex with him all you want, but he will not have sex. When you become "mature", you can let go of your attachments. For other relationships, it's never like that. Even if you want to break free, others will not let you go. So just create a desire to grow, to dissolve, to know. What must happen will happen. Once you become a human being, your destiny is your own. Once your destiny takes place in consciousness, the next step will happen automatically because the life within you has the intelligence of freedom of choice. total disregard for others, based on your understanding of the article, answer any one, (d) skeptical and belittling, five of seven questions, choose the correct one, (v) choose the option with the underlined that, option. , which can be appropriately replaced by "entanglement" (paragraph 5). , (i) According to the following paragraphs, (a), he is very angry at what can only be called, is the author? , (a) Destiny can be changed and rewritten if one focuses on one's surroundings. , (b) Destiny can never be changed by selfish people like Sanyasis and Brahmacharyas. , (c) Everyone creates his own destiny. , (d) Everyone's fate has been decided by God. , , (ii) Refer to the above paragraphs to select the option to complete the dialogue correctly. , Maya: I have decided to become a Sanyasi and follow the path of Spiritualism. Please join me. , Atharva: ..................., (a) Yes, after all this is the path of self-discovery. , (b) Yes. What's left in the world anyway? , (c) no. It's a farce and doesn't teach anyone anything. , (d) no. The individual thought promoted by spiritualism is very selfish and harmful to society. ,, (iii) Which of the following sentences in the above paragraph is not an example of "is happening"? , (a) "As far as I know, this is true.", (b) "Once you become a true individual, your destiny is yours.", (c) "What must happen will happen.

(Stephen Richards), (b) To the still mind, the whole universe surrenders. (Lao Tzu), (c) until you have a spiritual understanding of who you are, not necessarily a religious feeling, but a spiritual deep down, you cannot begin to take control. (Oprah Winfrey), (d) You have to grow from the inside out. No one can teach you, no one can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. (Swami, Vivekananda). Neglected, but properly nurtured. This changed in the later Vedic era, when daughters were considered a social burden. Only girls from upper-class families had the right to education and adequate food. In Muslim families, they are educated at home, while Hindu girls are fortunate enough to receive their primary education in nearby schools.

Page 12:
9, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10, , 3. Since then, the status of women in society will only get worse. However, in the 19th century, many social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Annie Besant, MG Ranade, Jyotiba, Phule, Swami Dayanand Saraswati etc. stood up for the emancipation of Indian women. Indeed, Raja Ram, Mohan Roy was a fervent advocate of female education. , 4. Since then, great progress has been made in various fields, but unfortunately, girls are still neglected. The birth of a girl was frowned upon in most families, and even when accepted, she was considered inferior to a boy and her education was considered unimportant as it seemed like a waste of money to most parents. They found this unreasonable, since they would later have to spend a lot of money on her dowry. It can be seen that the female literacy rate is not satisfactory, which directly affects the overall development and growth of the nation. 5. For India to become a developed country, it must pay attention to women's education. The old African proverb - "Educating a man is educating a person, educating a woman is educating a whole family (country)" education. If women were educated then all the problems in India like female infanticide, dowry, female suicides, domestic battering, female malnutrition, child marriage and other related atrocities would disappear. Education provides basic qualifications to perform certain economic, political and cultural functions and enhances the socioeconomic status of women. Reduce inequality. If your standard of living improves, it indirectly improves society.

(Colin Powell), , Passage 8, 1. In the past, when war broke out there was a hero, and when society fell there was a savior. Over the centuries, adversity has inspired people to rise to the occasion and display special skills that have earned them the title of leaders. 2. The driving force behind a leader's actions and behavior is his intuition. She guides him silently, telling him what to do, which way to go, and how to develop skills that will enable him to overcome whatever challenges life throws at him. Almost all of Abraham Lincoln's endeavors in his life failed. However, his instincts drove him to press on and eventually win the highest political leadership in the United States. 3. What is instinct? Is it genetic or cultivated? Instinct is what makes a newborn feel hungry or cold, making them cry for help. , 4. It is best described as a compass for objective observation, and although we are born with it, we tend to lose it. Instinctive touches that come with age. 5. If everyone is born with this feeling, why do some become leaders and others not? First, the external environment largely determines our evolution. All those who are deprived of opportunities to develop, their potential ability to become leaders. , 6. The second reason has to do with internal attitudes. There are many people who, despite having all the right opportunities, still fail. This is because they are insensitive to their instincts, ignoring all the signals that might make them act accordingly. Listening is a critical skill that needs to be developed over time. While our previous experience allows us to list and place evaluated options, in the end it is our intuition that helps us decide which one to choose. At times like these, people who align with their intuition are more likely to make the right decisions than those who don't. Instinct is like a mental exercise. When a leader gives an emotional speech to his team in an attempt to motivate them to action, he can always tell, even before he finishes, whether he is successful or not. In fact, he was constantly regulating his behavior throughout the course of the conversation. For the greater good of all involved. ,, Questions, answer any five of the seven questions based on your understanding of the passage, and choose the correct option. , (i) According to the author, which of the following, is the greatest lesson about instinct? , (a) Instincts, if properly cultivated, can help a person become a great leader. , (b) Instinct, if properly cultivated, helps a man to make correct observations. ,, (c) Intuition, if cultivated properly, can help a person to be very successful. , (d) Intuition, if properly cultivated, can help a person regulate his behaviour. , , (ii) Complete the dialogue by selecting the appropriate option referring to the above Jyoti: In my life, I don't have many opportunities to help develop my leadership skills.

My mother took me to the downtown hospital several times and tried various medicines. ., 2. After a short interview, he went out.

Give me a glass of this preparation, it tastes bitter, but after about an hour, I start to feel relief. After about three days, the constant abdominal pain stopped and I remember having a better appetite. I have enjoyed the healing power of medicinal plants ever since. For the rural populations of the world, herbalists are the only ones who deal with their medical problems. 4. In African cultures, traditional healers have long been considered influential spiritual leaders who use magic and religion in conjunction with medicine. The disease is treated through personal mystical spiritual powers and the application of plants that have been found to have particularly healing powers. Each of them uses medicinal plants. The first are herbalists, who often have the prestige and reputation of being true practitioners of traditional medicine. The second group represents miracle doctors. They are fetish priests whose practice relies on what they call supernatural diagnostic abilities. The third is the wizard, a practitioner who is believed to have the ability to stop the witch's evil deeds. Plants are very famous in ancient Asian medicine. The owner said it can cure high blood pressure.

(Karen Rose), , Passage 10, 1. Frankness is probably one of the most overrated virtues! that's why. Because there are no limits, no filters, and candor is a recipe for breaking up relationships, even the closest ones. This kind of frankness is understandable, acceptable and even "cute" only for children under the age of five. Speaking (and more importantly, writing) is an important life skill. Think is a popular acronym for True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind. This works really well as a filter in our minds.

Page 17:
14, , CBSE 2nd Semester English Language and Literature 10th, , 3. What to say is really good, but only in conjunction with the other attributes of the acronym, especially the last one, kindness. In glamorously telling the truth as we see it, we often forget to be kind. We blurt out "truth" even when doing so is completely meaningless and unnecessary, let alone inspiring! Often, being honest is more damaging than being noble. Only those who don't care about the consequences have the ability to "speak their minds" anytime, anywhere. When relationships are at stake, choosing the right time, place, and words to communicate the uncomfortable truth is critical. Even then, only when absolutely necessary and with great kindness. , 4. Unpremeditated speaking can be more dangerous in other situations, for example, when someone entrusts us with a secret. The hallmark of maturity is the ability to keep secrets. Very young children cannot understand the concept of secrecy. For them, every piece of information is interesting, new and should be shared. We all learn to keep secrets as we grow older, but we tend to only keep our own secrets, not those entrusted to us by others. We may blurt out what our friends have told us, perhaps accidentally, but often to appear important in the eyes of others. It gives us a sense of power to know things our friends don't, and it takes a conscious effort to keep the information private. , 5. But this is the true test of an important life skill: self-control. To reveal a friend's secret is to betray friendship. This can lead to gossip spreading, which can destroy peace of mind and even lives. Words without thinking will bring about the end of the world. , 6. Communication is of course very important. But even more important is being thoughtful and compassionate. , (442 words), Speaking well is a skill: Speaking nicely is a life skill. , Questions, Answer any five of the seven questions based on your understanding of the passage, choosing the correct option. , (i) According to the authors, of the following, the acronym "think" is the most important lesson? , (a) necessary truths must be shared. , (b) The truth should always be shared with others. , (c) Only essential truths should be shared with kindness. , (d) One should always keep a friend's secret. , (ii) Choose enough options to complete the conversation Refer to the above passage, Prachi: I should tell my sister that our parents are divorced, don't you think?

India's air pollution is worse The most pressing problem in recent years. Toxic air is not only a major health and environmental problem, it also has enormous economic costs: it hinders development and affects people's well-being. In 2015, more than 1.1 million people in India died prematurely due to air pollution, according to the Health Effects Institute. In 2019, air pollution was responsible for around 18% of all deaths in the country. It cost the economy about 1.4 percent of GDP that same year. Research has identified severe negative effects of air pollution on many sectors, including labor productivity and crop yields. , industrialization and population growth. In 2020, India ranked third among countries with the worst air quality in the world, according to IQAir. The north alone has no fewer than 13 of the 15 most polluted cities in the world. 3. Governments launching policy initiatives and setting up regulators and other agencies, all aimed at fighting air pollution; they are very inappropriate. The current situation points to the need for better, more effective ways to improve air quality across the country, especially in the densest and most populous urban spaces. It is imperative to increase the role of technology and encourage private sector partnerships with each other and with governments to address air pollution. It is equally important to engage the grassroots, especially the most vulnerable, through community-based initiatives. 4. However, any effort must begin with accurate and timely air pollution information. This will ensure greater awareness of the magnitude of the crisis and its multiple impacts. Adequate messaging should also seek to inspire individual action and a collective commitment to a future, (323 words) where there is clean air for all. ,, Questions, answer any five of the seven questions, and choose the correct option based on your understanding of the passage. , (i) The purpose of the above paragraph is to..., select the correct option. , (a) improve the air quality in India, (b) highlight the problem of poor air quality in India, (c) recommend necessary measures to improve the poor air quality in India, (d) show the harmful effects of air pollution, (ii) choose suitable The options are declared with the following two points. , (1) The Indian government has adopted various measures and measures to deal with the air pollution problem. , (2) In the end, the initiative has achieved positive results, and the air quality has been greatly improved. , (a) (1) is the result of (2), (b) (1) is the ratio of (2), (c) (1) is independent of (2) (d) (1) is true (2) is False, (iii) Which of the following statements about air toxicity is true?

The Snow Leopard Project was introduced to India by the Snow Leopard Project Committee established by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The Indian government promoted protection, protection and preservation of India's unique high-altitude wild populations and their habitat natural heritage through participatory policies and actions in 2009. 3. The Tiger Project and the Elephant Project are very common in India, and the former attracted worldwide attention in 1973. There are also Tibetan wolves in the Himalayas. The project is not only about protecting the snow leopard, but like the tiger project, it is considered an umbrella species, protecting it while protecting other species and the habitat they collectively form. , 5.

India has commissioned two nuclear power plants, one at Tarapur and the other at Rana Pratap Sagar. , each with an installed capacity of 420 MW. Two other sites, one at Narora and one at Kalpakkam, are operational. This energy will be able to supply the nation's energy shortage. If industry is operating at full capacity, output will be higher, so per capita income will increase and inflation will be offset. 2. With the help of controlled nuclear explosions, artificial dams can be built. In fact, for a dam to be built there, there would have to be two massive gables enclosing a deep valley close to the channel of the river. These conditions are not present everywhere. Thus, mountains can be blown up with the help of controlled nuclear explosions. This also helps in road construction in hilly areas. In fact, some of India's borders are mountainous, making military operations quite difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to build roads in these areas even for the sake of national security. 3. With the help of radiation, the shelf life of vegetables and fruits can be increased. In tropical countries like India, perishable fruits require long-term preservation. Radiation prevents the emergence of onions and potatoes, which are in high demand abroad.

25, , CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th, , Similarly, fruits such as bananas and mangoes, which have great export potential, can be stored for a long time. There will be no change in the texture or taste of the fruit. , 4. Nuclear techniques can also be used for medical purposes. Radioactive iodine is said to be useful in detecting thyroid disorders. Similarly, India, with the help of UN experts, successfully prepared an irradiated vaccine that immunized sheep against a lung disease that used to kill a large number of sheep every year. 5. Properly processed nuclear fuel is also used in space satellites. Weather satellites can predict cyclones and rainfall with extreme accuracy. Communication satellites can help transmit information over long distances. In a big country like India, communication satellites are needed. , 6. Radiation is also used to prepare mutant seeds. Many varieties of rice and some grains are prepared in the Tarapur laboratory. This will increase our agricultural output and help India become better economically.

26, CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th, , Passage 8, 1. The term "child labor" is generally defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and dignity and is detrimental to their physical and mental development. Refers to work: - in Mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to the child; and/or, - Interfering with the child's ability to attend and participate fully in school, causing the child to drop out of school prematurely or requiring the child to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and demanding work . , 2. There are many interrelated factors that contribute to the prevalence of child labor. Child labor is both a cause and a consequence of poverty. Family poverty forces children into the labor market to earn money. Some are engaged in child labor to supplement family income, and many also to survive. They miss out on educational opportunities, further exacerbating intergenerational family poverty and hindering economic growth and social development. Child labor deprives children of the skills and education they need for decent work opportunities as adults. Inequality, lack of educational opportunities, slow demographic transition, cultural traditions and expectations contribute to the persistence of child labor in India. Age, gender, race, caste and deprivation all affect the type and intensity of work children do. , 3. Child labor remains a persistent problem in today's world. The latest global estimates indicate that globally 160 million children (63 million girls and 97 million boys) were in child labor at the start of 2020, nearly one in 10 of all children in the world. 79 million children - almost half of all working children - are engaged in hazardous work that directly threatens their health, safety and moral development. , 4. Global progress against child labor has stalled since 2016. The percentage of working children remained unchanged over the four-year period, while the absolute number of working children increased by more than 8 million.

As the virus began to spread around the world, some Indians began to return to their relative safety home . When Kerala recorded India's first case of COVID-19 on January 30, 2020 (IDFC Institute, 2020), the state was ready. Four days before the first case was recorded, the Government of Kerala (GoK) had issued new guidelines for the coronavirus which stipulated case definitions, screening and sampling protocols, hospitals, preparedness and monitoring. , 2. In the following weeks, a series of comprehensive measures were launched. Rapid screening and isolation of patients and quarantining of contacts delayed the spread of imported cases by up to 40 days until the first cluster occurred in Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. A total of 14 confirmed cases were reported in the following two days. From the day the first COVID-19 case was registered. The state was able to act quickly due to its relatively efficient public health system, backed by a strong socioeconomic base and experience with Nipah virus in 2018. Kerala was prepared to deal with the pandemic as early as January. The state has followed proven strategies of case finding, isolation, contact tracing and vulnerability mapping to contain the virus. , 4.

India's nuclear power plants are controlled by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL), a state-owned company established in 1987. As of November 2020, India has 7 nuclear power plants. 2. Kudankulan Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu is the largest nuclear power plant in India by capacity with a total installed capacity of 2,000 MW currently and another 2,000 MW under construction. It is the only nuclear power plant in India that uses pressurized water reactors (PWRs) instead of boiling water reactors (BHWRs) or pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs). The installed capacity is 6,780 megawatts (MWe). Among the 18 reactors are pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR) and 4 are light water reactors (LWR). , 4. India's nuclear power program was initiated at independence under the leadership of Homi J Bhabha. The Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) is manufactured by Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam, Limited (BHAVINI), a company wholly owned by the Government of India and under the administrative control of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). , 5.

Chapter Test, !, , Discursive Passages, 1. Read the article below. , 1. In life, we sometimes have disagreements with people. When this happens, it's important to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. But of course, that's easier said than done. 2. How you start the conversation is very, very important. Imagine you're a student sharing an apartment with another student who you don't think shares chores. If you say, 'Look, you never do chores,' an argument can quickly turn into an argument. It's more constructive to say something like, "I think we'd better look at how we split the chores." 3. If you're wrong, admit it! This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument, apologize and move on. If you do this, the other person will respect you more in the future. 4. Don't overdo it. Try not to say things like "You always come home late when my mom comes over for dinner," which may only happen twice. This will only make the other person think that you are not being reasonable and may prevent them from hearing your argument. 5. Sometimes we cannot prevent arguments from becoming arguments. However, if you start arguing with someone, it's important to get things under control. 6. Don't raise your voice. Raising your voice will only make the other person lose their temper too. If you find yourself raising your voice, stop and take a deep breath. If you can speak calmly and quietly, you will find that your partner will be more willing to think about what you are saying. 7. It is also important to cut to the chase. what are you saying. Don't bring old topics into other questions, or try to bring them into other questions. Just focus on solving one problem and save the rest for another time. 8. Call "timeout" if necessary. If you feel like the argument is getting out of hand, then you should say, "Listen, I'd rather talk about this tomorrow when we're all calm down." Wait until the next day when you're both less tense and irritable before continuing the discussion. You may also find that problems are easier to solve. , 9. Some people think that arguing is always bad. This is not true. Conflict is a normal part of life, and dealing with it is an important part of any relationship. If not, learn to argue properly, and when a real problem arises, you won't be ready to face it together. Think of smaller courts as training sessions. Learn to argue cleanly. This will help your relationship grow stronger and last longer. , Based on your reading, please answer the following eight questions. , (i) According to the authors, this is easy to come up with but hard to do? , (a) have disagreements with people. , (b) Don't let peaceful arguments turn into heated ones. , (c) never raise your voice, (d) get into a heated argument with a friend. ,, (ii)) Which of the following steps should you take to stop arguing, according to paragraph? , 1.

We live in an age of wonders and miracles. It's called the "Age of Science" and different aspects of our lives that have happened over the past few centuries have been attributed to science. That's entirely true, but it's only one side of the coin. The downside is that as we move further and further away, some things that are vital to humanity are left behind. Under the onslaught of our changing ways of life, aided by the wonders of technological advancement, values ​​such as compassion and concern for our fellow human beings are slowly being eroded. 2. Take the Internet as an example. On the one hand, having information and knowledge just one click away is good for everyone and makes our lives a lot easier. On the other hand, it severely limits physical contact with teachers, friends, and elders. Therefore, the learning obtained by one person is incomplete, because he cannot easily accept the advice given by another person based on his acquired knowledge and practical experience. , 3. Today, the ease with which a small child can access and navigate the Internet still amazes older generations. But even more astonishingly, it ignores fundamental human traits in friendship, society, relationships, and family values. With all of today's technological advancements and gadgets, children often miss out on the richest childhood experiences, such as playing outside and playing games with friends, which, in addition to being great fun and physical stimulation, are also nurturing. Qualities like teamwork and discipline are small when it comes to time spent on a computer or phone, because entertainment can never truly replace the overall benefits of outdoor play. 5. For my part, I think this era of rapid development creates at least as many problems as it solves. The reason is that the basic goal of life, the pursuit of happiness, has been replaced by the pursuit of money. In our current society, money and happiness are considered analogs, but in reality they are not. In this unbridled pursuit of money, no one these days has time to appreciate the beauty of life, which consists of a simple act of kindness to someone in a time of need. Think about where we are really going - development or destruction? Do we have to wait until people are so alienated from each other that we can't see the suffering of our own kind through blind greed, or can we still mend our ways? Based on your reading, answer any of the ten questions below., (i) Based on the article, this is like one side of a coin saying that lives are changed because of science because (a) the age of science brings wonders and miracles. , (b) Different aspects of life are changed by science. , (c) There is another side of the coin. , (d) This side of the coin is realistic enough to be worth looking at. ,, (ii) Choose the option that best captures the central idea of ​​the given citation. , (a) "The most important journey in our lives is to do good in the world, especially to improve the human condition, human values, dignity and human rights."? – Amit Ray, (b) “People often use the wrong metrics, and the impression is unavoidable—that they seek power, success, and wealth for themselves, and admire others, underestimating The true worth of others. Lives.”? –Sigmund, Freud, (c) “The saddest aspect of life now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”? – Isaac Asimov (d) “Better give me the truth than love, money, or fame.” – Henry David Thoreau, (iii) The Internet hinders the full development of children by: (a) encouraging friendship, Human traits in society and family., (b) Enrich children's outdoor play experience., (c) ) Provide virtual experience friends and gadgets., (d) Foster teamwork and discipline., , (iv) Which of the following Out of the values ​​that humans lose with progress?, 1. Materialism, 3. Concern, 5 Respect, (a) 1 and 3, (c) 1,5 and 6, , 2., 4., 6., (b), (d), , kindness, empathy, equality, 5 and 6, 2, 3 and 4

If you just look at the number of purchases, in domestic malls, you would think that brick India's mortar retail space is booming. By the end of this year, shopping malls in India will have more than 87 million square meters of shopping area. The country already has 570 functional malls, a number that has doubled in the past five years. 2. However, there is a problem: shoppers are no longer shopping in malls. What seemed to be the great growth story of Indian retail is turning into one of vacant buys, complexes and stalled projects, with developers dropping midway instead of trying to make them profitable. Data suggest that online shopping may be to blame. Brick and mortar stores carry huge discounts, and e-commerce brings comfort to young people who no longer feel the need to go to a point of sale to buy something. Reports show that 80-85% of the space in new malls is empty. Starting with the big cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai, then Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, all mall owners face this problem. In these shopping cities, rents have dropped by more than 40% due to fewer steps. , 4. Meanwhile, online shopping has grown by more than 350% in just one year, the report added. DS Rawat, Secretary General of ASSOCHAM, said: “Beyond convenience, rising fuel prices, safety, reasons, online discounts and availability, there are a plethora of options for consumers to stay indoors.”5 Even so, incomes are some malls. Reason: anchor store. Anchor stores are those specialty stores that offer exclusive products that are not normally available online. Brands like Zara, H&M and even Starbucks are serving as anchor stores for mall owners, who are sometimes eager to hire them, offering revenue-sharing models and larger exclusive spaces. Plus, mall owners are being forced to determine their priorities directly, with movies and dining out still being one of the last things people can't get to. "The arrival of mall syndrome has accelerated the growth of movie theaters, as multiplexes are the anchor tenants in most malls," Shravan, Shroff, Managing Director, Shringar Cinemas. compared to other countries. However, with India hitting 300 million people online by the end of the year, those numbers will soon grow exponentially, leaving mall owners and retailers with the daunting task of luring people away from your computer. At a time when developers are slowing down projects, brick and mortar calls.

Use the information provided to write a paragraph about India's enduring poverty problem. Mention regional trends and how the landscape has changed over the years. , , Title, , Poverty: India's Perennial Problem Poverty in India manifests itself in many ways. It has become one of the greatest persistent problems facing our country today. Whether they are landless, street shoemakers, rags, collectors, peddlers, or beggars, they all belong to the category of "poor". Although the number of people living below the poverty line has decreased, the problem persists. The bar chart provided compares the percentage of the population living below the poverty line in different Indian states for two years (1973-74 and 1999-2000). Reductions in poverty were pronounced in all states. Encouragingly, two of those states saw very large declines. In about 26 years, poverty in Gujarat fell by 27%, from 48% to 15%. West Bengal saw a similar drop of 36%, from 63% to 27%, over the same time period. Meanwhile, many states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha are showing slow declines.

Using the four economic indicators it shows, the living standards of these countries in 1982. From the data we have, we can say with certainty that the standard of living in the United States is the highest of the five countries. The United States is a developed country with a per capita GDP of $13,160. It has a relatively high daily caloric intake and a high life expectancy at birth. The country also has a low infant mortality rate. These factors are much lower in other countries than in the US. The range of indicators provided shows similar trends for Egypt, Indonesia and Bolivia. Of the three countries, Egypt appears to have the highest standard of living. , Ans., Diabetes Burden in India India, a country of rapid socioeconomic development and urbanization, accounts for a substantial share of the global burden of diabetes. Studies conducted in different regions of India have shown that the prevalence of diabetes is increasing not only in the urban population but also in the rural population due to the urbanization of lifestyle parameters. There is also a high prevalence of prediabetes. Recent studies have shown that rapid impairment of glucose conversion and diabetes tolerance in the southern states of India have reached approximately 20% of adults with diabetes in urban areas and approximately 10% in rural populations. The availability and accessibility of diabetes care, and because of awareness of the disease, the glycemic outcomes of treated patients are far from ideal. Younger age of onset and lack of good glycemic control may increase the incidence of vascular complications. The economic costs of treating diabetes and its complications are considerable. It is fitting that the Government of India has launched a national program for the management and prevention of diabetes and related metabolic disorders. Lifestyle modification is an effective tool for primary diabetes prevention in India.

The graph shown shows the magnitude of the air pollution problem, especially in Nagpur. The graph shows a dramatic increase in urban air pollution levels. There is no doubt that the people of Nagpur suffer from various respiratory diseases. While air pollution levels were not very low in 2000, the air quality was much better than what future generations have breathed and are breathing. ., from 2005 to 2010, levels of carbon dioxide in the air fell, which may indicate awareness of the problem. , but this factor is not surprising given the sudden and dramatic change after 2010. The quality of the air keeps decreasing and the percentage of carbon dioxide keeps increasing. Gas levels reach around 855 to 890. Since then, many government policies, programs and advocacy sessions have been launched to create awareness and find solutions. As a result, carbon dioxide levels slowly drop. This decline shows that there are still many changes that need to be implemented to make our environment pollution-free. our whole country. Numerous programs and programs have been launched across the country to protect populations of this enigmatic animal, and they appear to be working well. A graph is provided showing the growth of the tiger population in the country. Poaching, one of the biggest dangers to declining numbers, is the first thing to be tackled. Cameras are placed at different locations where the tigers come and go. In addition to cameras, forested areas have also been converted into reserves where poaching is prohibited. To this end, approximately 5.22 kilometers of foot surveys were carried out to ensure the area continues to be a habitat for the species. As a result, the declining numbers started to increase. Tiger numbers increased from 1,411 in 2006 to 1,706 in 2010, then to 2,226 in 2014 and 2,967 in 2018. Growth areas include Madhya Pradesh, where the tiger population stood at 526 in 2018. Other states with high tiger populations are Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Assam with 524 and 442 tigers respectively , 312, 284, 190 and 190 respectively.

In the research conducted, it was found that since the 1990s there has been a substantial increase in the number of deaths due to violence. The numbers shown in the data are staggering. There is absolutely no decline, but the death rate from violence has increased exponentially. In 1990, the death rate was 2.5, which increased to 3.5 in 1995. This continuous increase was most pronounced between 2000-2005, when the death rate rose from 4.5 to 6,5. In 2010, it increased to 7.5, and currently, it doesn't seem to be stopping. This situation is really sad and requires immediate action. Our young people can play an important role in bringing this crime map under control. There are many ways in which they can contribute to peacemaking. They can awaken people's need for peace. They can help the police by catching criminals. Today's young people have the power to make the world a peaceful and peaceful place to live. , , 7. Read the following report and write an analysis based on the data provided. , , Single-use plastic water bottles allow harmful substances to "leak" into soil and water. Bottles usually don't start to crack for a hundred years or more. Its decomposition is accelerated by extreme weather conditions, such as very, very hot or very cold temperatures. , , The dangers of using plastic The millions of tons of plastic found on the ocean floor and even in the stomachs of animals has gotten a lot of media attention lately. The issue of plastic's harmful impact on the environment has been a topic of discussion for a long time. However, in recent years, the harm of plastic to the human body has become increasingly prominent. It's not a hidden fact that only a fraction of the plastic used every day is recycled and reused. Most everyday plastics end up in landfills or bodies of water, where they take thousands of years to decompose. During those years, the plastic seeps into the soil and water. Studies around the world are warning about microplastics in the land and water we use. They have long-term negative effects on ecosystems and adversely affect human health. Over the years, plastic leach reaches the water table and pollutes the water with toxic substances. Water enters our food chain and makes us susceptible to many diseases. One such substance that researchers have identified is bisphenol A, which has been shown to negatively impact human health. Given how little research in this area has been successful, we need to understand that plastic is dangerous for everyone. We should not use it as part of the ecosystem, but minimize its use in our daily life. , , 8.

There is a playground behind the school, a farm to the southwest and houses to the west as part of its complex. In the 1980s the house and farm were replaced. The school has added parking and a science area. Farmland was transformed into a sports field. The latest extension was carried out in 2010, when the complex and its various parts were adjusted. While the science building remains the same, the playground and sports field areas have been reduced to allow more parking for cars.

We prefer to go to our favorite fast food restaurant at least once a week or at least once a month. This propensity to eat fast food is evident in the graph above, which shows how often Americans dine at fast food restaurants. Overall, most Americans would rather go to a fast food restaurant once a week or once or twice a month throughout the period. Meanwhile, very few people go to fast food chains, either every day or not at all. This number seems to change almost imperceptibly. During those three years, 2003, 2006, and 2013, Americans ate fast food only once or twice a month or a week, with a break of about 30-35%. Americans who eat fast food every day or never are consistently below 5%. several times a year.

The given data shows the data on the number of digital devices purchased in Rishunagar during the period 2015-2019. According to the data provided, purchases of common digital devices such as smartphones and computers increased between 2015 and 2019. Computer sales declined as smartphones increased in functionality, except for an increase in computer purchases in 2017. Both computers and smartphones have become central to people's lives, especially workers. As a result, more and more people bought both products. Sales of these digital devices increased substantially from 2015 to 2017. However, sales and purchases fell sharply in 2018. Compared to 2017, the number of smartphone purchases in the market was relatively low in 2018. This trend is limited to 2018, as in 2019, sales of digital devices are once again growing exponentially. Although there are many reasons for these fluctuations, it is safe to say that the digital age has gained momentum in Rishonagar.

74,, CBSE Term II English Language and Literature 10th,, CHAPTER 03,, Subject-Verb, Agreement, In This Chapter..., !, , Rules Involved in Subject-Verb Agreement, , !, , Subject and Verb Personally and Number , , !, , Chapter Practice, , Many times we need to write sentences that only contain the, subject and verb. The subject can be a noun, a proper noun, a noun (person or place), or an abstract noun. Singular verb, plural subject → plural verb, when we form a sentence, we are talking about a person or a thing. The part of the sentence that states a person or thing is called the subject of the sentence and the part that gives us more information about the subject is called the predicate of the sentence. , , the subject can be singular, plural, uncountable, , —, —, —, , a book, an egg, a key, woman, boy, flower, sugar, water, air, , the subject and the verb in, Person and number, subject and verb must be in person and number. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. , , (i) subject singular → verb singular, eg. I'm in the classroom., (ii) subject plural → verb plural, eg. They are in the classroom., (iii) Use plural verbs when two or more singular subjects are brought together. ,For example. Mrs. and Mr. Gupta are going to market., (iv) When two subjects come together to express an idea, singular, use the verb. ,For example. Earning bread and butter is essential for living., (Bread and butter is symbolic and expressing an idea, which is susting), (v) Everyone, someone, nobody, anyone, anyone with a singular verb., eg Nobody is perfect in this world ., (vi) Plural verbs for nouns joined by 'and' eg Sita and Gita are going to Mumbai., (vii) 'nor' if the subject is joined by 'or', 'neither', 'or' Consistent with the subject closest to it, for example, he or his friend is the culprit. , (viii) The title of a book, play, story or musical work, even if it is plural, takes a singular verb., For example, "Three Musketeers" is a very good book.

Page 78:
CBSE Term 2 English Language and Literature 10th, , (ix) When a plural noun occurs between a singular subject and its verb, the verb agrees with the singular subject. Each of the apples is juicy., (x) Use a singular verb if the word is connected to a singular subject through "with". For example The Prime Minister, with his cabinet colleagues must be present., (xi) For example, if the subject is followed by "as well as", the verb must agree with the first subject, whether it is singular or plural. My friends and my father are going outside., (xii) Two nouns qualified by each or all, although joined by "and", they require a singular verb. For example, All boys and all girls went vaccinados., (xiii) None is singular, but receives plural/singular verbs depending on the meaning involved in the sentence. , eg (a) No chance to speak. , (b) I asked for a maid, but no one was there. , (ivx) When a plural noun is a proper noun for a single object or a collective unit, it must be followed by a singular verb. For example The United Nations is not an effective body for world , peace., (xv) Nouns such as glasses (glasses), pants, pants, shoes, people, police, scissors always take plural verbs. Also, 75, descriptive nouns, such as the rich, the blind, the guilty are, are always plural. (a) Your shoes are shiny., but it becomes singular when worn with 'a pair of'., (b) A brand-name pair of shoes are very expensive these days., (xvi) Uncountable nouns such as advice , news, media,, stationery, weather, progress are singular, and the verb is singular. For example, Advice should not be offered unless requests., (xvii) news, physics, economics, measles, letters, aerobics and other nouns are plural in form, but are considered singular. For example, Aerobics is good exercise., (xviii) Collective nouns take singular verbs when the set is considered as a whole. Plural verbs are required when emphasizing individuals, eg (a) The oil supplier cartel has submitted a report. , (b) The oil supplier cartel is divided on this issue. , (ixx) Use a singular verb when the plural noun denotes a specific quantity or quantity, eg. (a) Fifty rupees is too much for this wallet. , (b) Two-thirds of the city was in ruins.

This story highlights the importance of traditional bread-making methods on all occasions. No occasion in Goa is complete without bread. No wedding is complete without including a sweet bun called a "bol". No party or gathering is complete without cake and balls. Today, elders still remember those ancient and famous breads made by Portuguese bakers. From childhood to old age, remember, Portuguese bread. This shows that bread is an important part of Goan life that continues to this day. Thus, our traditional practices keep our past heritage alive and nourish us.

102, , CBSE Semester 2 English Language and Literature 10th, , 2. “In our childhood in Goa, the baker was our friend, companion and guide.” What does this sentence tell us about the character of the baker? ,, Resp. The testimony given tells us that the baker was a highly respected person in Goan society. He will guide the children to develop good behavior habits. This happened when he softly berated them for peeking into his basket. He taught children to respect their elders. That's when he said "good morning" to the lady of the house. He is very casual with the kids. Therefore, the narrator sees him as a friend and a partner. He's not just a salesman interested in selling what he makes. Even scolding the children, he also gave them bracelet bread and their choice of sweet rolls. A feast or banquet loses its charm without bread. Cakes and balls are a must for Christmas and other holidays. The presence of a bakery in the village is absolutely essential. As such, he was an important figure in Goan society at the time. ,, 3.

Bank 2021, , !, , long-answer questions, 1. Describe Siddhartha Gautama's journey to Buddhahood. , CBSE 2020, , Ans. Gautama Buddha was born into a royal family in 563 BC. His name was Siddhartha Gautama. At the age of twelve, he was sent to study. He studied all the holy Hindu scriptures. At sixteen he married a princess, and they had a son. He lived a real life for ten years, free from the sufferings of the world. However, when he was twenty-five, he saw a sick man, then an old man and a funeral procession. Finally, he met a monk begging. This is the first time he encounters the harsh realities of life. These visions upset him so much that he decided to give up worldly pleasures. He left his family and became a monk. He went into the world in search of spiritual knowledge. Siddhartha Gautama wandered for seven years in search of wisdom and truth. Finally, he sat down and meditated under a big plane tree. He vowed to stay there until he attained enlightenment. Seven days later, Gotama attained enlightenment. He was called "Buddha," which means "enlightened one" or "awakened one." He began to teach and spread his message of wisdom and truth. , , 2. Life is full of trials and tribulations.

She took the dead child to her neighbor's house

Page 128:
125, CBSE 10th Semester 2 English Language and Literature, for remedies to bring him back to life. Her neighbors thought she had lost her mind because she couldn't, accepting that their son was dead. It was then that someone suggested that she go to meet Shakyamuni Buddha. When she met Gautama Buddha, he gave her a practice. She was asked to collect mustard seeds from a house where no one died. She went from house to house, but could not find a house in a city where no one died. Just like that, she realizes that death is a part of life, and whoever is born will die one day. Thus, the Buddha changed his understanding of death through this practice. The Buddha told her that only the wise don't suffer and accept reality. Grief brings nothing but pain and suffering to the body. If you are calm, you will stay away from sorrow and get happiness. This gave him the strength to overcome his pain. , , 3. Through Gotami's story, what was the Buddha trying to teach ordinary people? The lesson the Buddha taught Gotami about death and suffering is that they are an integral part of life. No one can escape this truth. One day he will meet his predestined end. People who come into this world will die one day. So, when mourning the loss of a loved one, one should remain calm and collected. So, um, never mind the pain. Otherwise, they will suffer even more. Wise people, however, never complain or mourn their losses. They never try to bring their dead relatives back to life, as Gotami wants to do. They accept the truth and overcome their grief. Those who overcome grief will be blessed. Therefore the wisdom is that one should not be troubled by pain, suffering or death. , , 4. What lesson did Kisa Chotami learn the second time around that she didn't learn the first time? , , Answering that Gotami lost her only son, she was so distraught that she took her dead son and ran to all the neighbors to pick him up, healed him, and brought him back to life. Finally, she went to Buddha for medicine to cure her son. Buddha felt she needed to realize that death and sorrow are inseparable truths of life. , it was difficult for her to accept this fact. So Buddha asked her to take mustard seeds from a house where no one had died. Kisa Gotami visited from house to house. Then she realizes that there is no house where no one has died, that death is common to all. She went back to the Buddha, who told her that life in the world is full of troubles and sorrows. He gave her examples of ripe fruit and clay pots with a short "life". In this way, he made her realize in the next second that death is inevitable, and no one can save someone from death, even the closest person. After wandering for seven years, he finally sat down under a bodhi tree and vowed to stay until enlightenment came. After seven days of enlightenment, he renamed the tree the Bodhi tree and began teaching and sharing his new understanding.

In the end, Romov said that he had come to propose to Natalia (Chubkov's daughter). Natalya went into the living room and was surprised to see Romov. She welcomes Lomov and starts talking about working in the fields. Suddenly, she noticed Romov's attire and asked him if he was going to the prom (party). Romov told her the reason for his visit. But instead of talking about the proposal, Lomov told her about the good relationship between Lomov and Chubkov. He also mentioned the Bois Meadows he inherited from his aunt. He hugged and kissed Lomov. He told Lomov that he had been waiting a long time for this offer. He further assured her that Natalya would also agree to the offer and would call her. ,, After hearing Lomov call Oxen Meadows his, Natalya tells Lomov that Oxen Meadows does not belong to him.

Natalya also said she could make grass, which was a gift to Lomov. He supports Natalia and tells Lomov that the cattle meadow is their property. The argument escalated to the point where Lomov and Chubukov started calling names at each other and their families. Chubukov asked Lomov not to talk to him like that because he was twice his age and it was disrespectful. Lomov called Chubkov a predator and threatened to take Chubkov to court. This angered Chubkov, who claimed that Romov's grandfather was an alcoholic and that his little aunt Nastasya had run off with an architect. He also called Romov a villain, a scarecrow and a monster who dared to propose. It all got Romov excited, and his health went from bad to worse.

132,, CBSE Second Semester English Language and Literature No. 10,, 8. How would you rate the neighborhood of Lomov and Chubukov? , CBSE Question Bank 2021, Ans. "The Lomovs and the Chubkovs have always been the friendliest, and I would almost say, had the most affectionate respect for each other" seems true at first glance. Lomov and Chubukov had been neighbors for many years, so Lomov came to Chubukov's house to propose to Natalya. However, as we move forward, this relationship may not be as cordial as it seems. They often quarrel over some trivial matters, and they don't have any trust in each other. They insult and insult each other, but still maintain the semblance of a happy relationship. , , 9.

Natalya Stepanova learned that her father had come to propose because she was secretly in love with Lomov, and she asked her father to call him back. She may have been expecting that Romov would fall in love with her and propose to her. , , 12. What purpose did the playwright use Lomov's palpitations in the play? The play "Proposal", as the name suggests, is the story of Romov's proposal to Natalia. However, all the characters in the play are playing tricks, which delays Romov's purpose. The playwright then exploits Lomov's palpitations for the purpose of the proposal. The offer was made and accepted only after Lomov fell into a coma with palpitations. How did Natalya and Lomov lose their temper over trivial matters? , CBSE 2018, Resp. Neighborhood relations must have been harmonious, which was lacking in Lomov and Natalya. When Romov came to Chubkov's house to propose to Natalia, Chubkov was overjoyed. When Natalia entered the room, she also politely chatted with Romov. At the time, when they started talking about a piece of land called "Bois Meadows," they began arguing about their ownership, claiming the land was theirs. Chubukov also begins to defend Natalya and curse Lomov. No sooner had the argument ended than Romov and Natalya started arguing about whose dog was better. It can be seen from these quarrels that both parties lost patience because of some trivial matters and forgot about the marriage proposal. They should follow the principle of forgive and forget. They should be polite to each other. They shouldn't complain and blame each other for some trivial things. They should understand each other and help each other. , , 2. The proposal was forgotten because of petty quarrels. Which is the correct approach for Lomov and Natalya? , CBSE 2020, Ans. Lomov came to Chubukovs to propose to Natalya (his daughter). They've been neighbors for a long time and are of marriageable age. As Romov prepares to propose to Natalya; they start arguing over a piece of land called Oxen Meadows, claiming it as theirs. Her father also got into the argument and swore, Lomov, that they forgot to propose. But after Romov left, Chubkovs remembered the proposal and told Natalia about it. She immediately called Lomov back, and they started bickering again about their dog. All three claim their dogs are better than other dogs. Once again they forgot about the offer because they were arguing over trivial matters. This wouldn't have happened if they had done the right way to talk to each other calmly. Natalya and Lomov should understand that if they marry, Oxon Ranch will belong to both of them. They should have been polite and patient with each other, not rude and stubborn. Cow meadows and dogs are poor things to discuss before a marriage proposal.

CBSE Semester 2 English Language and Literature No. 10, , 3. Neighbors should have cordial relations, Lomov and Natalya did not. Describe the first, the struggle between them. , CBSE 2015, Ans. There must have been a cordial relationship between the neighbors, which Romov and Natalya lacked. Lomov came to the house of his neighbor Chubkov and proposed to his daughter Natalia.

Lomov even claimed to have documents proving that the land was his property, and he told Natalia that her aunt's grandmother had given those meadows to her father's grandfather to use without compensation. Forty or a few years, they began to think and theirs. But Natalia is not convinced, insisting they are her family. The quarrel was even accompanied by Natalia's father Chubkov. However, instead of settling the issue, he got into an argument with Lomov. They even started insulting each other, and after a while, Lomov left the house. They all showed discord with each other, fighting over trivial matters. you!

True, the key to happiness is "Don't complain, but Accept the status quo.” The poet Walt Whitman exemplifies this statement in the poem “Animals.” In this poem, animals are compared with humans to highlight their differences. Animals are known for their joy, equality , simplicity, and many other "symbolic" characteristics, are ranked as far above and superior to human beings. The poet explains his beliefs by saying that animals are simple creatures who never complain about their situation. They have accepted their natural surroundings and thus feel happy and satisfied with their lives. Humans on the other hand have never accepted nature. They always complain about her, so they try to change her. Therefore, they live unhappy lives. Humans keep growing Their expectations and their demanding, greedy and selfish nature make them unhappy.

The word "realio trulio" creates a wonderful poetic effect that makes the poem fun to read. In fact, there are no such words as "realio" and "trulio". In fact, they mean "really" and "truly" respectively. Biggest difficulty? , CBSE Question Bank 2021, Ans. Custard might be the perfect poster child for his belief that a person's true nature comes out in the toughest of times. This is because Castard showed his true brave nature during the fierce battle with the pirates. Before this incident, he was considered a coward by his roommates. The humble dragon has proved its bravery in the face of adversity. Analyzing certain qualities, such as bravery and courage, is situational and spontaneous. Express your opinion with reference to the poem "The Story of Custaron". , Ans. Granted, bravery and courage are situational and spontaneous. This fact is aptly conveyed in the poem "The Story of Longcasta". Dragons are considered cowards. He was taunted and cried for a good safe cage. Unlike Belinda and her other pets, he never brags about his bravery and courage. Everyone else, including Belinda, Ink, Wink, and Mustard, claims to be brave. They even made fun of Castard's cowardice. However, when they showed their talents, none of them could face the danger directly. They hide somewhere in the house. Only Kastard dares to go head to head with the fearsome pirate. Not only fight pirates, but also eat pirates. This is a dangerous situation where Castaard reacts spontaneously. His courage and bravery were shown in a threatening situation. So qualities like grit and grit are really situational and spontaneous. , , 2. Do you think someone should be laughed at for their preferences and choices in life? Long., Ans. In my opinion, one should never make fun of anyone based on their lifestyle and choices. It should always be remembered that choices and preferences may depend on unexplained factors. In the poem "The Story of Long Kashida", Kashida made a choice, that is, he wanted a "safe cage". He prefers comfort and safety. However, Belinda and her other pets always laughed at him. They thought he was a coward because he chose to stay in the cage and made fun of him. Custard the dragon quickly proves that his choice of comfort doesn't make him a coward. In fact, instead of all of Belinda's "brave" pets fighting the pirates, it's Karstard. It was Castard who bravely faced the pirate and killed him. So never judge anyone by their choices. Appearances can be deceiving. Just like the cowardly but brave dragon, others can behave differently from him/her, he/she is your preference.

This achievement is one of Richard's many in science. Richard's childhood, Richard lived in Pennsylvania, USA, the only child of his parents. With no one to play football or baseball with, he got into the habit of collecting items like rocks, fossils and coins. He is also very interested in astronomy and enjoys stargazing all night long. , Richard's mother: his real partner, Richard lost his father in third grade, so his mother was his only partner. His mother encouraged his interest in learning. She took him on trips and bought him telescopes, microscopes, cameras, mosaic materials, and many other equipment. She also supports his hobbies, inviting his friends to play with him. Even when Richard had nothing to do, she found him a job. She supports his intense curiosity, bright mind, and desire to learn. As a result, Richard got high marks in school. Richard read the book "The Travels of Emperor X", and Richard had a keen interest in butterflies since he was a child. By the time he was in second grade, he had collected all 25 species of butterflies found in his hometown. He is tired of collecting butterflies. But his mother gave him a book, The Travels of Monarch X. This book opened up a whole new world of science to Richard. Butterfly migration. Readers are instructed to tag butterflies for PhD research. Frederick A Urquhart, University of Toronto, Canada. After your mom wrote to Dr. Urquhart, Richard started tagging butterflies. Soon, however, he started creating them. He took a monarch, took her eggs. As the butterflies grow, he marks their wings and releases them. This process went on for many years, and his basement became a home for butterflies. Soon, he lost interest because he didn't get much feedback. , attending the county science fair, Richard began learning what real science was in seventh grade. At the county science fair, everyone except him won an award. That's when he realized that other people had been doing real experiments, and he was just showing a neat slide of the frog's organization. Failure fueled Ebright with a competitive spirit.

156, Richard's eighth grade project, for his next project, he wrote to Dr. Urquhart asked for comments and received many suggestions. Soon, Richard achieved his first success. For Richard's eighth-grade project, he was trying to find the cause of a viral disease that killed monarch butterflies. Richard believed the disease could be spread by beetles. He tried to raise caterpillars in the presence of beetles, but he failed. However, he won an award at the county fair. Richard's next project, in The Viceroy Butterfly, Richard's next project is to test the theory that the Viceroy butterfly replicates the Monarch butterfly. Butterfly Viceroy Yes, to protect yourself from birds, because birds don't like to eat monarch butterflies, they like to eat viceroy. He found that starlings only eat monarch butterflies and butterflies, not common bird food. The project placed first in the Zoology Division and third in Richard's Hormone Discovery at the County General Science Fair. , cell life. The purpose of the original project was to find out the cause of the twelve gold spots on the monarch chrysalis. Together with another science student, Richard built an apparatus that showed that the spots produced a hormone that was required for the butterfly to fully develop. The project earned Richard first place at the county science fair and entry to the international science and engineering fair. There, he earned a third in zoology and had the opportunity to work in the entomology laboratory at the Walter Reed Army Research Institute. Advanced, study the emperor chrysalis. Won the first prize at the International Science Fair that year. During his senior year, he grew imperial wing cells in a culture. He showed that these cells develop into normal butterfly and wing scales only when the golden blobs are fed with hormones. This experience won him the first prize in zoology at an international exposition. All the while, he went on to work in Army labs and also got an opportunity to work in a USDA lab. There, using advanced technology from the Department of Agriculture, he was able to determine the chemical structure of the hormone. Early on, he came up with the idea for a new theory of cellular life while looking at x-rays of the chemical structure of hormones. He believes his research can shed light on how cells read their DNA blueprints. Richard and his college roommate, James R. Wong, spent the night modeling molecular plastics to show how this happened. They later wrote a paper together to explain their theory. He became a graduate researcher at Harvard Medical School, where he began experiments to prove his new theory. If his theory is correct, it could lead to new ways to prevent certain cancers and other diseases. Richard: Richard is a generalist, he is not just a scientist. He is a generalist. He is a champion debater and public speaker. He is also an accomplished kayaker and outdoor enthusiast. He is also a great photographer. In his high school, he was a member of the Debating and Model United Nations clubs. There he met Richard A. Weiherer, a professor of social studies whom he greatly admired and an advisor to two clubs. Richard: A real scientist, sir. Weiherer praised Richard for his hard work. He also praised Richard's healthy competitiveness, which is all about doing the best you can. Richard has all the qualities that make him a true scientist. He has a top-notch mind, curiosity and a willingness to win for the right reasons.

Why do you think she was called Sulekha at that point in the story? , NCERT, , Resp. The word "Bholi" means fool. Throughout history, she's been a douchebag, barely expressing her opinion on anything. The word Sulekha means "one who has a good sense of words". In this story, the word has a larger meaning of becoming a literate, wise and mature human being. During her upbringing, Bholi literally turned into Sulekha, and she was sure to be her when she got married, announcing to the world that she was no longer Bholi but Sulekha. ,,!,, Long answer type Questions, 1.

Education provides the necessary stimulus to overcome personal obstacles. , about the "Bholi" curriculum, explaining the role of education in shaping the lives of children. , CBSE 2012, or How does education change Bholi's personality? , CBSE 2020, Answer Education brought about a drastic change in Bholi's character. Bholi was a late born child. As a child, she was a docile girl, pockmarked and stuttering. She didn't speak until she was 5 years old. For these reasons, she was a neglected child by her family. No one cared about her and she lost all confidence in herself. When her father was forced to send one of his daughters to school, Bholi was the first choice. In school, Bholi flourished. The teacher treated her with love and care like she had never seen before. She encourages the girl, guides her, and becomes a girl of her own. Bholi learned to read, write and speak without stuttering. As a result, she became confident and independent, while also knowing her rights. She learned to fight what she thought was wrong. It is precisely because of her upbringing that she dared to oppose her fiancé and refuse to marry a greedy man. Bholi, now independent, told her parents that she would teach at the school and take care of her parents, her elders. This Bholi is in stark contrast to the effeminate old Bholi, all because of his upbringing.

She had an accident (falling out of her crib) when she was 10 months old and lost her spirits. She also started to stutter when she spoke. Later, she became unsightly with acne marks on her face and body due to smallpox infection. All this caused her family and other children to treat her badly, causing her to become withdrawn. To help these children face the world bravely, we must treat them with love and care and encourage their integration into society.

After reading Bholi's story, you decide to write a blog about the importance of educating a girl and how education makes her stronger. Write this blog and express your opinion. , CBSE Question Bank 2020,, Ans. The importance of educating girls, the right to education is one of the fundamental rights recognized in our Constitution. Yet, in many parts of our country, parents do not send girls to school. Education has long been seen as a "privilege" that only boys deserve, as it is believed that girls should only focus on homework, chores and caring for their families. Due to their lack of education, they were abused even more because they never knew what was right and what was wrong. This understanding comes from education, which is why we must educate girls. This will help them understand what is good for them and enable them to take a stand and fight for their rights. This will prevent abuse, as has happened to many people. Only in this way can they be truly safe and happy. Education also helps them become independent, helping them become more confident and self-reliant, rather than dependent on family, which only leads to more abuse and resentment. ,, 3.

Satisfied with the dowry, Bishamber proceeded with the ceremony, but Bholi refused to marry him. She told her father that she would not marry such a greedy man as Bi Shanbo.

Planning your time may seem like a waste of time in itself; however, the benefits of time management are enormous. This reduces stress, increases productivity, efficiency, professional and personal growth, and more. .Time is something we cannot store or preserve for later use. We cannot get back wasted time; therefore, we need to learn how to use it effectively. If we are to manage time effectively, we need to be organized and focused. 3. With time management skills, we can do more with less. Time management includes effective activity planning, goal setting, deadlines, delegating work, prioritizing activities, and more. 4. Most people feel that they always have too much to do and too little time. Managing your time wisely will help you find the right balance between time and work. Some people multitask in order to get work done within a specified time frame. , 5. This sometimes leads to poor performance in the various tasks assigned. The biggest mistake you can make at work is rushing to meet a deadline without the necessary rest or relaxation. It is impossible for anyone to focus on work and get good grades without taking into account the breaks in between.

The Walt Disney Company became the first website to ban its channel TV, radio stations and stop food manufacturers from selling malnourished fattening crap to children. The ban covers foods that contain too much sugar, too much salt, or a meal that exceeds 600 calories. Unsurprisingly, angry mobs say banning smoking in public places and blocking trans fats in food is bad enough, but denying them comfort drinks by the liter is almost a violation of human rights. Not just happily picking your own poison. They also want a super dose of it guaranteed to kill it sooner or later. After smoking, obesity is the biggest public health problem, causing more preventable disease and death than malnutrition. Overweight and obesity are the leading causes of death worldwide, killing 2.8 million adults each year. Globally, the number of obese people has more than doubled since 1980. There are many reasons for poor lifestyle choices, nearly all of which are socioeconomic, such as low education and limited income. Like the deadly infection, obesity and the resulting type 2 diabetes affect the poor more than the rich, largely because processed and fast food are cheaper than healthy home-cooked meals and take less or no time to prepare Need to prepare. However, choice is not enough. What is needed is to get the kids out of their chairs and into the playground. Too much screen time, social media, online and video games, and television are making healthy children fat and putting them at risk for type 2 diabetes in their second decade of life. This lifestyle disease, which interferes with the way the body metabolizes glucose, typically affects people in their fifties and sixties and is associated with a range of complications.

For thousands of years, tourism has been an eternal industry. Despite its haphazard and highly chaotic beginnings, it has a place in every corner of history. The current tourism landscape in India is on the rise, with destinations gaining traction both globally and domestically. As the youngest country in the world, it’s no surprise that millennials are spending more time and money traveling than previous generations. That could be huge for the economies of several states that rely heavily on tourism, as long as it's sustainable. 2. Unsustainability is widespread across the country, in states with more domestic tourist flows than foreigners. Dev Bhoomi is a good example. No, no matter how popular it is, tourism in Uttarakhand is completely shut down. , 3. Approx. 80% of tourists come to complete Char Dham Yatra. This uncontrolled tourism puts enormous pressure on natural facilities and infrastructure. The pass is prosperous and the accommodation is extremely scarce, resulting in most of the illegal buildings being built on the river bank. ’, pollution levels are rising, rising, temperatures are recovering. The Ganges directly endangers native species in Rishikesh and Haridwar due to illegal construction and pollution of its banks.

We know roads are infrastructure, but the Forest Conservation Act requires project developers to plant trees in degraded non-forest/forest areas equal to or twice the number of felled trees respectively, to compensate for what didn't happen. 5. Regardless of what the numbers say, if we expect sustainable tourism to be a target market, the rest of the pecking order will not have much choice. Making a conscious effort to be a responsible tourist and thinking about how you can serve the local community/environment in some way (big or small) can act as a catalyst to undo this turmoil caused by ignorance.

It happens to all of us, no matter how hard we try to delay the process. We grow old. Plastic surgery can remove wrinkles, sagging skin can be tightened through facelifts, and hairdressers can dye gray hair into a younger color, but we can't be young forever, what matters is the quality of life.
