Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and write the option you consider the most appropriate, in your
answer sheet (5 Marks)
It is probable that illness and infection caused by food contaminated with bacteria which produce diseases,
have existed since the beginning of time. Drinking water can be made safe by treating it with chlorine. Milk
can be made safe by heating it and then packing it in sterilised containers. But it is either very difficult or
simply not possible to treat most of the things we eat, in either of these ways. All that can be done is either
to prevent bacteria from entering the food, or to stop them form growing after they have entered.
For a long time, it was believed that some substances called ptomaines were agents of food poisoning but
it was finally discovered that these ptomaine found in rotten food, can be swallowed without the harmful
effects that follows it. In 1888, about 60 people, all of whom had eaten meat taken from the same animal,
were taken ill, and one man died. Dr. Gaertner, a German bacteriologist, was able to isolate the food
poisoning bacteria (Salmonella) which had caused the outbreak; and put forward the theory that all food
poisoning was due to the presence of such bacteria.

Pindari glacier is a range of four glaciers, namely Sunderdunga, Namik, Pindari and Kafni. To go to pindari
glacier it is a 54 km. Trek and the walking part is normally covered in four days. In this trek, we cross many
mountains and forests and see a lot of wildlife. We were eight members in the team. The whole trip took
us ten days in the mountains. Throughout the way our guide and my father explained to us about the
various features of the Himalayas we were passing through. We had to face bad weather for two days.
There was steep climb at some places and as we climbed up we were affected by high altitude sickness and
lack of oxygen and we felt very tired.
Pindari glacier is surrounded on all sides by snow covered peaks such as Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, Nanda
Khat, Bailiuri and many more. This glacier is a frozen river of ice and settled in such a way that it looked like
a huge staircase. There I saw all physical features such as gorges, moraines, hanging valleys, etc.

but also many other kinds of people such as teachers of English language, social historians, and
interested members of the public.
Professor Coleman said, in a world where there`s more multimedia available than text, audio

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

Listen! The mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder-everlastingly.
Dear child! dear girl! That walkest with me here
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought
Thy nature is not therefore less divine;
Thou liest in Abraham`s bosom all the year,
And worshipp`st at the temple`s inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not
