Directions(Q. 1 to 15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. In a village in the East, there lived an old couple. They did not have any children and never spent an extra paisa on themselves. They never repaired their house or cooked good food. One day, a family moved into the village, it was their sons second birthday and they sent two delicious laddoos to the old couple. The couple ate the laddoos with great relish. For days after they could talk of nothing else. Finally the old man could take it no more. He said to his wife, Lets buy the ingredients to make just two laddoos. His wilfe agreed but said, If I make the laddoos at home, the neighbours will know and will want a share. Lets cook in the woods behind our hut. That way no one will ever know. The next day the old man purchased the ingredients from the market and they set off to the woods. Having never prepared food like this before, they ended up with three laddoos instead of two. The old couple returned home with the sweets, dying to eat them. But there was a problem. It was my idea and I went to the market, so I ought to get two, said the old man. But his wife

refused to give in so easily and said, Since I prepared the sweets. I ought to have two. The day wore on and the argument continued. At last, the old man suggested, Let us not talk to each other. Whoever breaks the silence first will get one laddoo and the other person two. His wife agreed. Hours passed, but neither of them spoke and finally they fell asleep with the bowl of sweets between them. That evening one of the neighbours knocked on the door but the couple did not answer for fear of losing the bet.

Directions(Q. 115) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Once upon a time, there lived an old lion. The lion, the king of the forest had grown old. He becamefrail and due to this, he could not hunt for food. With each passing day he became more and more weak. He realized that he would not live for long if it continued like that. He thought how could he arrange for his food ? After pondering over it for quite some time, he decided that he should have an assistant. The lion thought that a fox would be the best person to handle this position as he was intelligent and clever. He summoned the fox and said, Dear friend, I have always liked you because you are smart. I want to appoint you as my minister and advise me on all the affairs of the forest. The old lion also asked the fox, that since he was the king of the forest, he should not have to hunt for his food. With respect to this, the foxs first duty as minister was to bring him an animal to eat every day. The fox could not refuse the king and accepted the offer. After the conversation, the fox went out to find an animal for the lion. On the way, he met a fat donkey. He said My friend, I have got good news for you. You are very lucky. Our king, the lion has chosen you to be his chief minister. He asked me to meet you and inform you about his decision. The donkey was scared of the lion and said, I am afraid of the lion. He might kill me and eat me up. Why has he chosen me as his chief minsiter ? I am not even fit enough to be a minster as I am not as intelligent as other animals. The clever fox laughed and, said, Dear, you dont know your great qualities. Our king is dying to meet you. He has chosen you because you are wise, gentle, and hard working. By serving the king, you will be the second most powerful animal of our forest. Imagine, all the other animals will respect you and seek favours from you. You must not lose your greatest chance in life. So, the poor donkey was convinced and got ready to go along with the fox.

In this way, the fox managed to attract the donkey to the lions den. When the fox and the donkey approached, the lion was hungrier than ever. But he kept a smiling face and said, Welcome, my dear friend. Come near me. You are my chief minister. As the donkey came closer, the lion pounced on him and killed him instantly. The lion thanked the clever fox and was happy to get the food. As the lion sat down to take his meal, the fox said, Your Majesty, I know you are very hungry but a king must take a bath before his meal. The lion thought it was a good idea and told the fox to keep a watch on the carcass of the donkey. The fox silently sat down to keep a watch of the donkey and thought to himslef, I took all the trouble of getting the donkey here. It is I who deserve the best portion of the meal. Thus, the fox cut open the head of the donkey and ate up the whole brain. When the lion returned he shouted, What happened to the donkeys brain ? I wanted to eat the brain first.

As soon as he saw the robber, he jumped upon him and killed him at once. The bell fell on the ground. After a few days, a group of monkeys passed through that way. They spotted the bell and carried it to their home in the forest. They found the jingle of the bell very interesting. Subsequently every one of them became very fond of the bell and started playing with it. After every tiring day, the monkeys would sit on the top of a hill in the forest in the night and enjoy the melodious sound of the bell. The people of the village were afraid of the noise.

Directions(Q. 1-15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. A sobbing little girl stood near a small school from which she had beenturned away because it was too crowded. I cant go to School, she sobbed to a priest as he walked by Seeing her shabby,unkempt appearance, the priest guessed the reason and taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the school class. The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to study. Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted priest, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements. As her poor little body was being moved, a worm and crumpled purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump. Inside were founded 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, This is to help make the little school bigger so more children can go to school. For two years she had saved for this offering of love. When the priest tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the stage, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion. He challenged his assistants to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building. A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands. When told that the school could not pay so much, he offered it for a 57 cent payment. Religious members too made large subscriptions. Cheques came from far and wide. Within five years the little girls gift had increased to $250,000 a huge sum for that time.
