Q.1. Select any two of the following
passages and answer the question given below
them:
5+5=10
A. I have more veneration for that character than for any other.
That boldness, that fearlessness and that tremendous love! He was born for the good of men. How to help them-
that was his only concern. Throughout his life he never had a thought for
himself. And consider his marvellous brain! No emotionalism. That giant brain never
was superstitious. Six hundred years before the birth of Christ, at the time when Buddha lived, the
people of India
must have had wonderful education. Extremely free-minded they must have been. Great masses followed him.
Kings gave up their thrones; queens gave up their thrones. People were able to
appreciate and embrace his teaching,
so revolutionary, so different from what they had been taught by the priests
through the ages. But their minds must
have been unusually free and broad.
(i) Write the title of the lesson from which the above noted
passage has been taken. Who is the writer of the
lesson?
(ii) What qualities of Buddha have been mentioned by the
author of this lesson?
(iii) When did Buddha live? Why does the author feel that
people had wonderful education when Buddha lived in India?
(iv) Why did people appreciate the
teachings of Buddha?
(v) Point out those words in the passage which have the following
meanings:
a. Very great b.
tending to blind faith.
B. If bad manners are infectious, so also are good manners. If we
encounter incivility, most of us are apt to become uncivil but it is an unusually uncouth person who can be
disagreeable with sunny people. It is with manners as with the weather.
``Nothing clears up my spirits like a
fine day’ said Keats, and a cheerful person descends on even the gloomiest of
us with something of the benediction of
a fine day. And so it is always fine weather on a polite conductor’s bus, and
his own civility, his conciliatory address and good- humored bearing, infect his passengers. In lightening their
spirits he is lightening his own task. His gaiety is not a wasteful luxury but a sound investment.
(i) Write the name of the lesson from which the above noted
passage has been taken. Who is the author of this
lesson?
(ii) What is common between bad manners and good manners?
Who, according to the writer, is an unusually

bus conductor have been described by the writer in this

C. If only he had managed to wake up in good time all might have
been well. As it was, he did wakeup until the assistants were already arriving next morning. When he saw a
couple of them approaching, he panicked and began to run. They naturally gave
chase. In the end he was able to
escape only by quickly taking off his newly found clothes. So once more he
found himself invisible but naked in the
chill January air.
This time he decided to try the stock of a theatrical company
in the hope of finding not only clothes but also something that would hide empty space above his shoulders.
Shivering with cold he hurried to Drury
Lane, the centre of the theatre world.
