SECTION  A
(Reading Skills, Grammar, Vocabulary, Note-making and Summary)
Q.1. (A) Read the following extract and answer the questions given below: (11) [15]
One day, king Amrit and Chandan were taking a walk on the terrace of the palace. The
terrace offered beautiful view of the surroundings, and they could see far into the distance.
They spotted the weekly market from up there, with people in colourful clothes buying and
selling all kinds of things. There was plenty to buy and people had money to buy too. There
were no poor people to be seen anywhere. The King watched with a smile on his face. He was
delighted to see the prosperity of his kingdom. Like any good ruler he was happy when his
people were happy.
He turned to Chandan and said, “See how contented my people are. But I want to check
this first-hand by talking to them. Tomorrow, summon people from all walks of life to the
court and I will ask them myself how they are doing.” Chandan was used to the King’s
strange requests, and went off to carry out this order.
The next day, the king arrived in the court humming a happy tune to himself. Seeing all
the people gathered there waiting for him, he was even more pleased. He cleared his throat

Vitamins are either fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) or water-soluble (B vitamins, including
niacin, folic acid and riboflavin, and vitamin C). They consist mainly of the elements
nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in body fat, while
water-soluble vitamins are used or quickly excreted in the urine.
Vitamin A is essential for the eyes, skin, hair and bones; the B vitamins help enzymes
to function; C is essential for the formation of collagen; D helps the body absorb calcium; E
prevents cell damage, and K helps blood clotting. Most vitamins cannot be produced by the
body and so must be obtained directly from food.

Oil is one of the world’s major sources of energy. We depend on it as fuel for heating.
transport and generation of power.
For centuries, animal and vegetable oils have been used for cooking and as a source of
artificial light. But it is mineral oil which meets most of the world’s needs today.
Crude mineral oil comes out of the earth as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong
smell. It is a complex mixture of many different substances, each with its own individual
qualities. Most of them are combinations of hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions.
Such hydro-carbons are also found in other forms such as bitumen, asphalt and natural gas.
Mineral oil originates from the carcasses of tiny animals and from plants that live in the sea.
Over millions of years these dead creatures form large deposits under the sea bed and ocean
currents cover them with a blanket of sand and silt. As this material hardens, it becomes
sedimentary rock and effectively shuts out the oxygen so preventing the complete
decomposition of the marine deposits underneath. The layers of sedimentary rock become
thicker and heavier. Their pressure produces heat, which transforms the tiny carcasses into
crude oil in a process that is still going on today.
The earth’s crust is split into a few huge continental plates which move continuously
rather like rafts on a sluggish tide. Geologists call this movement as ‘continental drift’.
(1) What does the extract tell us about? (1)
(2) In which form does crude mineral oil come out of the earth and from what does it
originate? (2)
(3) How is ‘continental drift’ formed? (2)
(4) According to you, how can we stop the excess use of energy? (2)
(i) Oil is one of the world’s major sources of energy.
(Rewrite it as a negative sentence without changing its meaning) (1)
(ii) As this material hardens, it becomes sedimentary rock.
(Make it a compound sentence) (1)
(iii) Geologists call this movement as ‘continental drift’.
(Frame a ‘Wh-question’ to get the underlined part as an answer) (1)
(6) Give the antonyms from the extract for:
(i) artificial (½)
(ii) lighter (½)
(B) Write a brief summary of the above extract with the help of the points given below and
suggest a suitable title.
Oil as a source of energy — our dependence — types of oil — mineral oil — origin of crude
oil — formation of crude oil — forming of sedimentary rocks — continental drift.

(Poetry)
Old women do not fly on magic wands
nor make obscure prophecies

government hospitals.

(Rapid Reading and Composition)
Q. 5. (A) Read the following extract and rewrite it from the point of view of the boy. (4) [8]
[You may begin with: My mother hopes that I am preparing…]
“I hope you’re preparing for your exams,” she wrote back. “After all, there’s not much we
can do about a skeleton that’s been hidden away for ten or fifteen years. Anyway, there were
two newspapers in the cupboard. The Daily Chronicle, published from Delhi on January 18,
1930, is complete. That was four years before you were born. The main headline refers to the
‘Bareilly Train Disaster’ in which thirteen passengers were killed and nineteen seriously
injured. There are also two pages of book reviews, including a review of ‘The Glenlitten
Murder’ by E Phillips Oppenheim. I think you have read some of his books. Books on the
Riviera.
“The other book is about the spirit world, and the possibility of communicating with those
who have passed from this material world. Perhaps we can summon up the spirit of the person
who inhabited the skeleton? She could tell us how she met her end. Old Miss Kellner holds
seances and table-rappings. But how would she summon up a spirit if she doesn’t know who
it was in the first place?
“The second newspaper – incomplete – is the Civil and Military Gazette of March 2, 1930.
This was published from Lahore, and as you know, Mr. Kipling worked on it a few years
earlier. The front page is missing, but page 5 carries an ad for a film called ‘The Awakening
of Love starring Vilma Banky. Vilma was a popular heroine when I was a girl. Nothing much
else of interest except for a small item under the headline. Elder Murder Sequel’:”
(B) Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue between Herman and Roma in
about 120 words. (4)
[You may begin with: Herman You must have suffered too, fear, a constant companion..]
I imagined how she must have suffered too, fear a constant companion. And yet here
we were both survivors, in a new world.
“There was a camp next to the farm.” Roma continued, “I saw a boy there and I would
throw him apples everyday.”
What an amazing coincidence that she had helped some other boy, “What did he look
like?” I asked.
“He was tall, skinny, and hungry. I must have seen him every day for six months.”
My heart was racing. I couldn’t believe it. This couldn’t be. “Did he tell you one day
not to come back because he was leaving Schlieben?”
Roma looked at me in amazement, “Yes!”
“That was me!”
I was ready to burst with joy and awe, flooded with emotions. I couldn’t believe it! My
angel!
“I’m not letting you go.” I said to Roma. And in the back of the car on that blind date, I
proposed to her. I didn’t want to wait.
354
354
“You’ re crazy!” She said. But she invited me to meet her parents for Shabbat dinner
the following week. There was so much I looked forward to learning about Roma, but the
most important things I always knew: her steadfastness, her goodness. For many months in
the worst of circumstances, she had come to the fence and given me hope. Now that I’d found
her again, I could never let her go.
That day, she said ‘Yes’. And I kept my word. After nearly 50 years of marriage, two
children and three grandchildren I have never let her go.
OR
(B) Read the following extract and extent it by adding an imaginary paragraph of your own
in about 120 words:
Rosalind and Orlanda were married at once in the forest and on the same day Oliver
who was no longer selfish and wicked, married Celia. Just as they were going to be married, a
messenger came to ask Duke senior to go back to his dukedom. Celia’s father, Duke
Frederick, had mended his wicked ways and asked his brother to return.
Frederick had set out with an army to fight the old Duke, but on his way he had met a
wise and holy man, who had persuaded him that it was wrong and wicked to drive his elder
brother from the court. So Frederick had given up the dukedom and the good Duke could go
home again. There was great rejoicing in the forest of Arden, under the greenwood tree.
Frederick was forgiven, and Duke senior and his followers returned from the forest to live
happily in their own homes.
