Reasons

Kitchen wastes can be

i. non-biodegradable, like plastic bags, glass

ii. Biodegradable like vegetable peels, egg

shells, [1/4x2]
Characteristics

Non-biodegradable

these do not disintegrate hence difficult to dispose off; look ugly if left around

i. need either recycling or reused by dissolving

ii. any other (any

Biodegradable

it decomposes quickly; produce bad smell if not disposed off

i. can be used to produce manure

ii. any other (any

[1/4x2]

Both are low cost

i. Both are safe for disposal of waste

ii. Both need little or no water for disposal

v. Both can be constructed in small space
/ Any other (any three)

(Elaborate these points)

[1x3=3]

35. i. more personal attention given to each member and given chance to prove oneself
hence positive self concept develops.

ii. focus on family and children hence children get individual attention

iii. children learn to take responsibility and become independent

iv. children learn to manage within means

v. any other

(Elaborate these with adequate reasoning) (any

four) [ Vz x8=4]

36. Social function

i. Enables people to sit together and eat. This gives satisfaction.

ii. At gatherings such as weddings, birthdays parties, food serves as an instrument

for
developing social relationships.
iii. Depending upon the degree of formality of relationships, the menu planned
would be
more elaborate if the guests are formal.

iv. Sharing of food is a token of friendship;

v. Serving of favourite dishes is an expression of attention and recognition

vi. A person’s social status is known through the food served.

vii. Any other (any four)

Emotional function Food satisfies certain emotional needs of the human being

i. Food which is nutritionally adequate may not always give a sense of satisfaction
to the
consumer..

ii. Food provides an outlet for stress. A difficult examination in school may cause a
child to
eat less or not at all.

iii. An adolescent with no friends may try to compensate by eating more, thereby
satisfying
needs.

iv. children who are and lonely, may make demands for food , just to gain attention.

v. Mood of a person is elevated by the type of food served. An outing for special
treat lifts up
the spirit of a person.

vi. Any other (any

four) [

37. i. Taps open to the full capacity while washing dishes/clothes/brushing

teeth/shaving

ii. Water pipe is used to wash cars/floors

iii. Using shower for bathing

iv. Taps leak

v. In case of intermittent supply water stored is thrown away to fill fresh water
vi. Any other (any four)
Suggestions:

i. Use bucket and mug for bathing

ii. If leaking immediately get taps repaired

iii. Open taps to half capacity while washing dishes

iv. Take water in a bucket to wash cars.

v. Take water in a mug while brushing and keep taps closed

vi. Use electronic taps.
