SECTION-B (Descriptive Type Question)
1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
I like to collect stamps of various countries. This is my hobby. I have been doing it since my school days. My friends send me stamps and some I take out from the envelopes that I re-ceive from them. When new stamps are released I go and buy them from the General Post Office. I arrange the stamps in three books according to the country and the denominations. Old stamps are precious. The term for stamp collection is ‘philately’.
Questions :
(i) What is the writer’s hobby?
(ii) How does he collect the stamps?
(iii) How does he arrange the stamps?
(iv) What is ‘philately’?
Or,
There are, it must be admitted, some matters in regard to which the memory works with less than its usual perfection. It is only a very methodical man, I imagine, who can always remember to take the medicine his doctor has prescribed for him. This is more surprising because medicine should be one of the easiest things to remember. Certain psychologists tell us that we forget things be-cause we wish to forget them.
Questions :
(i) Where does memory work less?
(ii) Who always remembers to take medicines regularly?
(iii) What should be the easiest thing to remember?
(iv) What is the psychologist’s opinion?
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
Earlier, lamps, lights and candles were seen at every house. But with the progress of technologies, even small children are seen playing and experimenting with laptops, mobiles and many more equipment. Nowadays children are seen clicking photos at the time when prayers are going on. It is obvious that han-dling these modern gadgets most of the time can have worse effects on health. Addiction to it can make one physically handicapped and mentally absentminded.
Questions :
(i) What could be found in every household earlier?
(ii) What is the new generation addicted to?
(iii). What will happen if gadgets are used for a long time?
(iv) What will be the impact of this addiction?
Or,
Even in the modern society, girls are brought up to believe that the main responsibility of women is housework and bringing up children. This is reflected in the gender division of labour in most families. Women do all the work inside the home such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, looking after children etc. And men do all the work outside the home. It is the mindset than men are not going to do the household work. The result of this is that although women constitute roughly half of the population, their role in public life is minimal in most societies.
Questions :
(i) What are girls brought up to believe?
(ii) What kind of work does a woman do?
(iii) What is the mindset of the general public?
(iv) What is minimal in most societies?
3. Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow :
I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Questions :
(i) What was the poet doing?
(ii) What did the poet see?
(iii) Where were the daffodils and what were they doing?
Or,
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with show.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
Questions :
(i) Who is the speaker and where has he stopped?
(ii) Where does the owner of the woods live?
(iii) What does the horse think?
4. Answer any five of the following questions :

(h) What does the poet say about the lamps in a town?
(i) Why could Halku not sleep in the field at night?
