Answer:
கவிஞன் யானோர் காலக் கணிதம்
கருப்படு பொருளை உருப்பட வைப்பேன்!
புவியில் நானோர் புகழுடைத் தெய்வம்
பொன்னினும் விலைமிகு பொருளென் செல்வம்!
இவைசரி யென்றால் இயம்புவதென் தொழில்
இவைதவ றாயின் எதிர்ப்பதென் வேலை!
ஆக்கல் அளித்தல் அழித்தல் இம் மூன்றும்
அவனும் யானுமே அறிந்தவை, அறிக! (- கண்ணதாசன் )

கருத்து:
நான் தான் காலக் கணிதன் கருப்படும் பொருளை உருப்படவைப்பேன்! புவியில் நல்லவர்கள் பலபேர் இருக்கின்றனர். பொன்னும் விலைமிகு பொருளும் இருக்கிறது. அது செல்வம், இதுசரி, இது தவறு என்று சொல்வது என் வேலை, செய்வது தவறாயின் எதிர்ப்பது என் வேலை சரி என்றால் புகழ்வது என் தொழில். ஆக்கல் காத்தல், அழித்தல் இம்மூன்றும் இறைவனும் நானும் மட்டுமே அறிந்த தொழில்களாகும்.

எதுகை: செய்யுளின் இரண்டாம் எழுத்து ஒன்றிவரத் தொடுப்பது எதுகை.

மோனை: செய்யுளில் முதல் எழுத்து ஒன்றிவரத் தொடுப்பது மோனை.
கவிஞன், காலம், கணிதம், கருப்படு

முரண்: சரி x தவறு, ஆக்கல் x அழித்தல்

சொல் நயம்: கவிஞன் யானோர் காலக் கணிதம்
கருப்படு பொருளை உருப்பட வைப்பேன்

என்ற சொற்றொடர்களை அமைத்துப் பாடலுக்குச் சிறப்புச் சேர்த்துள்ளார்.
(எ.கா) தெய்வம் எனத் தன்னைக் கூறும் கவிஞர் புகழுடைத் தெய்வம் என்ற சொற்றொடரைக் கையாளும் நயம் படித்து இன்புறத்தக்கது.

பொருள் நயம்: ஆக்கல் அளித்தல் அழித்தல் இம்மூன்றும்
அவனும் யானுமே அறிந்தவை

என்றும் ஆழ்ந்த பொருள் சுவை உடையது (எ.கா) தன் செல்வம் எது எனக் கூற வந்த கவிஞர், பொன் விலை உயர்ந்தது. அதைக் காட்டிலும் விலை உயர்ந்த கவிதைப்பொருளே என் செல்வம் எனக் கூறியிருக்கும். இக்கவிதையின்
பொருள்நயம் போற்றுதற்குரியது.

(ஆ) உங்கள் பள்ளியில் நடைபெறும் நாட்டுநலப்பணித்திட்ட முகாமின் தொடக்க விழாவில் மாணவர்களுக்கு வாழ்த்துரை வழங்க உரை ஒன்றை உருவாக்கித் தருக.
Answer:
இங்கு வந்திருக்கும் அனைவருக்கும் வணக்கம்.
எம்பள்ளியின் நாட்டு நலப்பணித் திட்டமுகாம் தொடக்க விழாவிற்கு வந்திருக்கும் அனைவரையும் வணங்குகிறேன்.

மாணவர்களின் மனதில் நாட்டை பற்றிய அக்கறை வளர வேண்டும். “ கடமையைச் செய் பலனை எதிர்பாராதே” அவர்களின் கடமைகளை உணரச் செய்ய வேண்டும். அப்போதுதான் பொறுப்பான சமுதாயம் வளரும். மாணவர்களின் எண்ணங்கள் உயர்ந்ததாக இருக்க வேண்டும். நாட்டின் மீது அக்கறைக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். சுற்று சூழலை சுத்தமாக வைத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். இந்த நாட்டுநலப்பணித் திட்டத்தில் பங்கு கொண்ட மாணவர்கள் அனைவரும் மிக சிறப்பாக தங்கள் பணிகளைச் செய்து காட்டினர். ஒவ்வொரு மாணவனும் ஆர்வமாகவும் சுறுசுறுப்பாகவும் இருப்பதைப் பார்த்தால் நம் நாடு விரைவில் வல்லரசாகும் என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை. வாய்ப்புக்கு வழிகொடுத்த அனைவருக்கும் வணக்கம்.

Today women in India occupy challenging positions. There are women pilots and women serve the armed forces too. There are successful IAS and IPS officers. Kiran Bedi is an example for successful police officer. There are women chief ministers, M.P.s and M.L.A.S. Our constitution guarantees equal rights to women. In Tamil Nadu, the right of inheritance has been given to women. Education and employment has been made a basic necessity for women. Though there are many progresses in the lives of women, still the other side of the coin is noteworthy and terrific. Dowry death and Eve teasing still prevails. Female baby is still considered a burden and female infanticide is still in existence. Male chauvinism is hurting women. Sania Mirza, Kalpana Chawla, Sunitha Williams and many such women add glory to womanhood. Government must give 50% reservations to women in higher education and career choice.

Question 43.
அ) சங்க இலக்கியங்கள், காட்டும் அறங்கள் இன்றைக்கும் தேவையானவையே
என்பதற்குச் சில எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள் தருக.
Answer:
அறத்தில் வணிக நோக்கம் கொள்ளாமை:
அறம் செய்வதில் வணிக நோக்கம் இருக்கக்கூடாது என்பது சங்ககால மக்களின் கருத்தாக இருந்தது. இப்பிறப்பில் அறம் செய்தால் அதன் பயனை மறுபிறப்பில் பெறலாம் என்ற வணிக நோக்குக் கூடாது எனக் கூறப்பட்டது.

“இம்மைச் செய்தது மறுமைக்கு ஆம் எனும்
அறவிலை வணிகன் ஆஅய் அல்லன்” – புறம்

எனச் சங்ககால வள்ளல்களில் ஒருவரான ஆய்பற்றி ஏணிச்சேரி முடமோசியார் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார். நோக்கமின்றி அறம் செய்வதே மேன்மை தருவது என்பது இதில் உணர்த்தப்பட்டுள்ளது.

அரசியல் அறம் :
மன்னர்களுடைய செங்கோலும் வெண்கொற்றக்குடையும் அறத்தின் குறியீடுகளாகப் போற்றப்பட்டன. அரசன் செங்கோல் போன்று நேரிய ஆட்சியை மேற்கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்பது பல பாடல்களில் வலியுறுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது. நீர்நிலை பெருக்கி நிலவளம் கண்டு உணவுப்பெருக்கம் காண்பதும் அதனை அனைவருக்கும் கிடைக்கச் செய்வதும் அரசனின் கடமையாகச் சொல்லப்பட்டது. குற்றங்களை, அறத்தின் அடிப்படையில் ஆராய்ந்து தண்டனை வழங்க வேண்டும் என்கிறார் ஊன் பொதிப் பசுங்குடையார். அரசன் அறநெறியில் ஆட்சிசெய்வதற்கு அமைச்சரும் உதவினர். நன்றும் தீதும் ஆய்தலும், அன்பும் அறனும் காத்தலும் அமைச்சர் கடமை என்கிறது மதுரைக்காஞ்சி.. ‘செம்மை சான்ற காவிதி மாக்கள்’ என்று அமைச்சர்களை மாங்குடி மருதனார் போற்றுகிறார்.

போர் அறம்:
தமிழர், போரிலும் அறநெறிகளைப் பின்பற்றினர். போர் அறம் என்பது வீரமற்றோர். புறமுதுகிட்டோர், சிறார், முதியோர் ஆகியோரை எதிர்த்துப் போர் செய்யாமையைக் குறிக்கிறது. போரின் கொடுமையிலிருந்து பசு, பார்ப்பனர், பெண்கள், நோயாளர், புதல்வரைப் பெறாதவர் ஆகியோருக்குத் தீங்கு வராமல் போர் புரிய வேண்டும் என்று ஒரு பாடல் கூறுகிறது. தம்மைவிட வலிமை குறைந்தாரோடு போர் செய்வது கூடாது என்பதை ஆவூர் மூலங்கிழார் குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கிறார்.

“எறியார் எறிதல் யாவணது எறிந்தார்
எதிர்சென்று எறிதலும் செல்லான்” – புறம்

இத்தகைய அறநிலைகள் இன்றைக்கும் தேவையானவை ஆகும்.

ஆ) தமிழின் சொல்வளம் பற்றியும் புதிய சொல்லாக்கத்திற்கான தேவை குறித்தும் தமிழ் மன்றத்தில் பேசுவதற்கான உரைக் குறிப்புகளை எழுதுக.
Answer:
முன்னுரை:
கால வெள்ளத்தில் கரைந்துபோன மொழிகளுக்கிடையில் நீந்தி தன்னை நிலை நிறுத்திக் கொண்டுள்ளது தமிழ். சொல்வளம் இலக்கியச் செம்மொழிகளுக்கெல்லாம் பொது என்றாலும் தமிழ் மட்டுமே அதில் தலை சிறந்ததாகும். தமிழின் சொல் வளத்தை நாம் பலதுறைகளிலும் காணலாம்.

தமிழின் சொல் வளம்:
ஆங்கிலம் போன்ற மொழிகளில் இலையைக் குறிக்க ஒரே ஒரு சொல் மட்டுமே உள்ளது. ஆனால் தமிழ்மக்கள் இலையை அதன் வன்மை, மென்மை, இவற்றைக் கொண்டு இலை, தோகை, ஓலை என பாகுபாடு செய்துள்ளனர். இதுமட்டுமன்றி தாவரங்கள், மணிவகை, இளம்பயிர்வகை, காய்கனி வகை, அடி, கிளை கொழுந்து என அனைத்து உறுப்புகளுக்கும் சொற்களைப் பகுத்து வைத்துள்ளனர்.

பூவின் நிலைகளைக் குறிக்கும் சொற்கள்:
அரும்பு: பூவின் தோற்றநிலை போது, பூ விரியத் தொடங்கும் நிலை மலர், பூவின் மலர்ந்த நிலை, வீ: மரம், செடியிலிருந்து பூ கீழே விழுந்த நிலை செம்மல், பூ வாடின நிலை.

தமிழின் பொருள் வளம்:
தமிழ்நாடு எத்துணைப் பொருள் வளமுடையது என்பது அதன் வினை பொருள் வகைகளை நோக்கினாலே விளங்கும். தமிழ் நாட்டு நெல்லில் செந்நெல் வெண்ணெல், கார்நெல் என்றும், சம்பா, மட்டை, கார் என்றும் பல வகைகள் உள்ளன. அவற்றில் சம்பாவில் மட்டும் ஆவிரம் பூச்சம்பா, ஆனைக் கொம்பன் சம்பா, குண்டு சம்பா, குதிரை வாலிச்சம்பா, சிறுமணிச்சம்பா, சீரகச்சம்பா முதலிய அறுபது. உள் வகைகள் உள்ளன. இவற்றோடு வரகு, காடைக்கண்ணி குதிரைவாலி முதலிய சிறு கூலங்கள் தமிழ் நாட்டிலன்றி வேறெங்கும் விளைவதில்லை.

முடிவுரை:
பண்டைத் தமிழ் மக்கள் தனிப்பெரும் நாகரிகத்தை உடையவராக இருந்திருக்கின்றனர். ஒரு நாட்டாரின் அல்லது இனத்தாரின் நாகரிகத்தை அளந்தறிவதற்கு உதவுவது மொழியேயாகும். ஆகவே “நாடும் மொழியும் நமதிரு கண்கள்” என்ற கூற்றின்படி பொருட்களைக் கூர்ந்து நோக்கி நுண்பொருட் சொற்களை அமைத்துக் கொள்வது நம் தலையாய கடமையாகும்.

• அனுமார் கால்களைத் தரையில் பதித்து உடம்பை ஒரு குலுக்குக் குலுக்கினார்.
•  தீயின் ஜ்வாலை மடிந்து அலை பாய்ந்தது. கைகளைத் தரையில் ஊன்றி அனுமார் கரணமடித்தார்.
• சுருண்ட வால் இவன் பக்கமாக வந்து விழுந்தது.
• கூட்டம் அச்சத்தோடு கத்தியபடி அலைக்கழிந்தது.
• அனுமார் பெரிதாகச் சிரித்துக்கொண்டு நின்றார். அனுமார் நின்றதும் கூட்டம் கொஞ்சம் அமைதியுற்றது.
• முன்நோக்கி நகர்ந்து வந்தது. அனுமார் நேசப்பான்மையோடு சிரித்து வாலை மேலே தூக்கிச் சுற்றினார்.
• தீ வட்டமாகச் சுழன்றது. வேகம் கூடக்கூட, கூட்டம் இன்னும் முன்னால் நகர்ந்து வந்தது.
• இவன் நெருங்கி அனுமார் பக்கம் சென்றான்.
• அனுமார் இன்னொரு பாய்ச்சல் பாய்ந்து வேகமாக ஆட ஆரம்பித்தார்.
  வர வர ஆட்டம் துரிதகதிக்குச் சென்றது. பதுங்கியும் பாய்ந்தும் ஆடினார்.
• ஆட ஆட, புழுதி புகை போல எழுந்தது. கழுத்துமணி அறுந்து கீழே விழுந்தது. • ஒன்றையும் பொருட்படுத்தாமல் ஆட்டத்தில் தன்னை இழந்தவராக ஆடினார்.
• மேளமும் நாதசுரமும் அவர் ஆட்டத்தோடு இணைந்து செல்ல முடியவில்லை.
  தடுமாறிவிட்டது
• மேல் மூச்சு வாங்க அனுமார் ஆட்டத்தை நிறுத்தினார். மேளமும் நாதசுரமும் நின்றன.
• அயர்ச்சியோடு மேளக்காரன் தோளிலிருந்து தவுலை இறக்கிக் கீழே வைத்தான்.
• ஆட்டம் முடிந்தது. தீர்மானமாகியது போல எஞ்சி இருந்த கூட்டமும் அவசர அவசரமாகக் கலைய ஆரம்பித்தது.

முன்னுரை – இளமைப் பருவம் – கல்வி – கனவு நனவானது – முதல் பயணம் – கல்பனாவின் ஆர்வம் – இரண்டாம் பயணம் – முடிவுரை.
Answer:
விண்வெளியும் கல்பனா சாவ்லாவும்
முன்னுரை:
விண்வெளிக்குப் பயணம் செய்த இந்தியாவின் முதல் பெண்மணி என்ற பெருமைக்குரியவர் கல்பனா சாவ்லா. நடுத்தரக் குடும்பத்தில் பிறந்து உலகமே வியந்த விண்வெளி வீராங்கனையாக வாழ்ந்த கல்பனா சாவ்லா அமெரிக்காவின் கொலம்பியா ஓடத்தில் இருந்து விண்வெளிக்குப் பறந்து ஆராய்ச்சிகளை மேற்கொண்டவர்.

இளமைப் பருவம்:
இந்தியாவின் ஹரியானா மாநிலத்தில் 1961 ம் ஆண்டு ஜுலை 1 ஆம் தேசி கர்னாஸ் என்ற ஊரில் பிறந்தார் கல்பனா. வீட்டின் நான்கு பிள்ளைகளில் அவர்தான் கடைக்குட்டி அவர் தந்தை ஒரு வியாபாரி, தாய் இல்லத்தரசி பொம்மை வைத்து விளையாடும் வயதில் கல்பனாவுக்குப் பிடித்த பொழுதுபோக்கு விமான ஓவியங்கள் தீட்டி அழகு பார்ப்பது விமானங்களின் சத்தம் கேட்டாலே வீட்டில் இருந்து தெருவுக்கு ஓடிவந்து அந்த அலுமினியப் பறவை, புள்ளியாக மறையும் வரை கண்கள் சுருக்கிப் பார்த்துக்கொண்டே நிற்கும் குழந்தைகளில் ஒருவர்தான் கல்பனாவும்.

கல்வி :
கர்னாவில் உள்ள அரசுப் பள்ளியில் ஆரம்பக் கல்வியை முடித்த கல்பனாவுக்கு அந்த வயதிலேயே விண்வெளி வீரராக வேண்டும் என்ற இலக்கு மனதில் பதிந்துவிட்டது. சண்டிகரில் உள்ள பஞ்சாப் பொறியியல் கல்லூரியில் விமானப் பொறியியல் பயில விரும்பினார். ஆனால் அது அப்போது ஆண்களின் படிப்பாக இருந்ததால் பெற்றோர் அனுமதிக்கவில்லை என்றாலும் கல்பனாவின் பிடிவாதத்தை அவர்களால் மாற்ற முடியவில்லை. அந்தக் கல்லூரியில் பொறியியல் பட்டம் பெற்ற கல்பனாவை 1982 ல் அமெரிக்கா வரவேற்றது. 1984 ஆம் ஆண்டு டெக்காஸ் விண்வெளி பொறியியல் துறையில் முதுகலைப்பட்டம் பெற்றார் கல்பனா. நான்கு ஆண்டுகள் கழித்துக் கொலோரடோ பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் விமானப் பொறியியல் துறையில் முனைவர் பட்டம் பெற்றார்.

கனவு நனவானது:
1993 ம் ஆண்டு ஒரு தனியார் நிறுவனத்தில் ஆய்வு விஞ்ஞானியாகச் சேர்ந்தார். அதற்கு அடுத்த ஆண்டே அவரின் விண்வெளி வீரர் கனவு நனவாகத் தொடங்கியது. நாஸாவில் விண்வெளி வீரர் பயிற்சி பெறுவதற்கு விண்ணப்பித்திருந்த சுமார் 3000 பேரில் ஆறு பேர் மட்டும் தேர்வானார்கள். அவர்களுள் கல்பனாவும் ஒருவர். ஜான்ஸன் விண்வெளி தளத்தில் பல்வேறு உடல் மருத்துவ பரிசோதனைகள், கடுமையான நேர்காணல்கள் ஆகியவற்றைக் கடந்து வெற்றிகரமாகத் தேர்ச்சிப் பட்டியலில் இடம் பிடித்தார்.

முதல் பயணம்:

1995 ஆம் ஆண்டு பயிற்சிகள் முடிந்து விண்வெளி வீராங்கனையாகத் தகுதி பெற்ற கல்பனாவின் முதல் விண்வெளிப் பயணம் 1997 ஆம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் 19 ஆம் தேதி நிகழ்ந்தது. ஆறு வீரர்களுடன் கொலம்பிய விண்வெளி ஊர்தியான எஸ்.டி.எஸ் 87-ல் பயணம் செய்வதற்குத் தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்ட கல்பனாவுக்கு அதில் ஆராய்ச்சி குறித்த முக்கியப் பொறுப்புகளும் தரப்பட்டன. பூமியை சுமார் 252 தடவை சுற்றிய அந்த விண்கலத்தில் சுமார் 10 மில்லியன் மைல் தொலைவு பயணித்த கல்பனா. சகவிண்வெளி வீரர்களுடன் வெற்றிகரமாகப் பூமிக்குத் திருப்பினார்.

கல்பனாவின் ஆர்வம்:
விமானம் மற்றும் கிளைடர்களை ஓட்டக் கற்றுக் கொடுக்க தகுதிச் சான்றிதழ் பெற்றதோடு மட்டுமல்லாமல் ஓட்டவும் அனுமதி பெற்றிருந்தார் கல்பனா. கொலம்பியா விண்வெளிப் பயணம் மேற்கொள்ளும் முன் கல்பனா முழுமனதோடு ஒரு காரியத்தில் ஈடுபடுபவர்களைப் பார்த்தால் எனக்கும் ஊக்கம் ஏற்படும் என்றார். ஆராய்ச்சியாளர்களின் சுயசரிதைகளை விரும்பிப் படிக்கும் அவர், தன் ஆசிரியர்களுக்கு எப்போதும் தன் நன்றிகளைத் தெரிவித்தபடி இருப்பார்.

இரண்டாம் பயணம்:
முதல் பயணத்தை வெற்றிகரமாக முடித்த கல்பனா. பிறகு அதே கொலம்பியா விண்கலத்தில் 2003 ஜனவரி 16 ஆம் தேதி ஆறு விண்வெளி வீரர்களுடன் மீண்டும் விண்ணுக்குப் பயணித்தார். பல விண்வெளி ஆராய்ச்சிகளை மேற்கொண்ட அவர்கள் பயணத்தை முடித்துக் கொண்டு வெற்றிகரமாக திட்டமிட்டபடி பிப்ரவரி ஒன்றாம் தேதி தரையிறங்க ஆயத்தமானார்கள். பூமியைத் தொட 16 நிமிடங்களே இருந்த நிலையில் அந்த சோக சம்பவம் நிகழ்ந்தது. கொலம்பியா விண்கலம் வெடித்துச் சிதறியது 41 வயது கல்பனா தேவதையாக விண்ணில் கலந்தார்.

முடிவுரை:
இந்திய அரசு கல்பனா சாவ்லாவின் சாதனைகளை நினைவு கூறும் வகையில் 2011 ம் ஆண்டு முதல் ஆண்டு தோறும் வீரதீரச் சாதனைகள் புரிந்த பெண்களுக்குக் கல்பனா சாவ்லா விருது வழங்கி கவுரவப்படுத்துகிறது. அந்த விண்வெளி தேவதை நம் வீட்டின் பல குட்டி தேவதைகளுக்குப் பிரியமான ரோல்மாடல்!

ஆ) குறிப்புகளைப் பயன்படுத்திக் கட்டுரை ஒன்று தருக.
பொதுமை – தகைமை – முறைமை – நிறையுடைமை – சுட்டுந்தன்மை – அறிவாண்மை – வளமை – மறுமை.
Answer:
உலகப் பொதுமறை பொதுமை :
இது தமிழிற்குக் கிடைத்த அரிய நீதி நூல். கரும்பென்றால் அடி இனிக்கும் எனக் கூறலாம். இதுவோ கற்கும் இடமெல்லாம் சுவையினைத் தருவதாகும்.

“எம்மதமும் எவ்வினமும் எந்நாளும்
சம்மதம் என்று ஏற்கும் தமிழ் வேதம்”

எனும் சுத்தானந்தரின் கூற்றின்படி எக்காலத்திற்கும் பொருத்தமுற அமைக்கப்பட்ட அழியாக் காவியம்.

தகைமை:
சிறு அடிகளில் உலகளந்த தகைமை இதன் பெருமையாகும். திருக்குறள் பல்வேறு அடைமொழிகளால் உத்தரவேதம், பொய்யாமொழி, வாயுறை வாழ்த்து, தமிழ்மறை எனக் குறிக்கப்படுகிறது. திருவள்ளுவரின் வேறு பெயர்கள் நாயனார், தேவர், முதற்பாவலர், மாதானுபங்கி, தெய்வப்புலவர், செந்தாப்போதார், பெருநாவலர் எனப் பலவாகும்.

முறைமை :
திருக்குறளானது 10 குறளினுக்கு ஒரு அதிகாரமாக 133 அதிகாரங்களைக் கொண்டது. அதிகார வரிசைகள் எல்லாம் பிற்காலத்தில் அமைக்கப்பட்டவை. மூன்று பிரிவுகளாக அறம், பொருள், இன்பம் எனப் பிரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அறத்துப்பால் 38 அதிகாரமும், பொருட்பால் 70 அதிகாரமும், காமத்துப்பால் 25 அதிகாரமுமாக அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. திருக்குறளின் உரையாக மணக்குடவர், காளிங்கர், பரிமேலழகர், பரிதியார், பரிப்பெருமாள் என்பவர்கள் உள்பட பதின்மர் உரை எழுதியுள்ளார். இதில் பரிமேலழகர் உரையே சிறப்பாகக் கருதப்படுகிறது.

நிறையுடைமை:
வாழ்க்கையின் நோக்கங்களைச் செய்யுளுக்கு இலக்காக்கி வைத்த பெருந்தகையார். உயர்ந்த தத்துவங்களை ஈரடியினில் அடக்கியவர். அதனால் பாரதியார்,

“வள்ளுவன் தன்னை உலகினுக்கே தந்து
வான்புகழ் கொண்ட தமிழ்நாடு” – எனப் போற்றுகின்றார்.

Question 30.
Describe the struggles underwent by the young seagull to overcome its fear of flying.
Answer:
The Young Seagull was afraid to fly and was alone on his ledge. He was more frightened than his siblings. His attempts failed. He had taken a little run forward and tried to flap his wings. But that was all he could do. He felt that his wings would not support him. He failed to muster up the courage and fly. His parents taunted, scolded and threatened him to leave him starving at the ledge unless he flew away. But nothing could make him fly. The seagull helplessly watched his parents flying with his brothers and sisters. The whole family went on taunting him for his cowardice.

Only his mother was looking at him. She had picked a piece of fish and was flying across to him with it. He leaned out eagerly. The mother was very near to him with the fish in her beak. Maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish. With a loud scream, he fell outwards and downwards into space. A terror seized him. His heart stood still. His mother swooped past him. He answered her with another scream. He saw his two brothers and sister flying around him.

The seagull completely forgot that he was not able to fly. He let himself free to dive, soar and curve at will. He was shrieking shrilly. He saw a green sea beneath him. He was tired and weak with hunger. His feet sank into the green sea and his belly touched it. He sank no farther. Now, his family was praising him and their beaks were offering him scraps of fish. He had made his first flight.
“Flying is learning how to throw yourself to the ground and miss”

Question 31.
Describe the challenge they faced with the weather condition.
Answer:
One day they were hit by a storm – it was scary to see very high waves, around 9-10 metres high surging the boat at a wind speed of 60 to 70 knots. Though they were prepared for the storm, it was quite challenging. Mountainous waves were surging from behind, pushing them forward. They were in the South Pacific. Luckily, they were sailing downwind. They took turns in steering the boat. When three of them were doing the watch at a time the other three rested.

It was so cold that it was difficult to stand outside for more than an hour. They watched enormous waves break over the top of the boat and sweep across the deck. One can imagine that a blast of saltwater soaking them completely. Sometimes the water would have gushed inside their living space, soaking all their clothes in sea water. The place would have been a mess.
“Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.”

Question 32.
What is the theme of the story, ‘The Night the Ghost got in’ by James Thurber?
Answer:
The theme of the story, ‘The Night the Ghost got in’ by James Thurber is surely of a supernatural kind. This story asks readers to accept the existence of the ghost mentioned in the title as a believable one. Many a time, ghost stories offer readers a sign for a common explanation for the events that the characters themselves trust are triggered by the bizarre scenario.

Although it seems very unlikely that a real ghost would have generated a commotion in the house, Thurber gives readers distressing indication that the sounds that he heard were undeniably supernatural.

For example, the police thoroughly investigate the house and say that all the doors and windows are locked from inside and nothing in the house is said to have been taken by burglars. The father and brother Roy, who are at first expected do have come home from Indianapolis early, do not feature in the play and are just characters mentioned during conversations.
“The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings.”

Question 33.
From the poem, ‘The Grumble Family’ what kind of behaviour does the poet want the readers to possess?
Answer:
L.M. Montgomery, from the poem, ‘The Grumble Family’ wants the readers to possess optimistic behaviour. The poet wants us to focus on the bright side of life and avoid the negativity around us, She wants us to learn to appreciate the beauty around us and avoid criticism. The poetess wants us to always try our best to be an optimist who sees the good and not the bad. Hence, she opines that it is wise to keep our feet from roaming into the Complaining Street and never growl at anything we do even if we are mistaken to be a complainer. Therefore, the poetess wants us to learn to walk with a smile and a song even when things go against our likes.
“A complainer is just an explainer of problems.”

Question 34.
Describe in your own words how the poem, The Secret of the Machines’ by Rudyard Kipling has an importance to current life.
Answer:
This poem written at the beginning of the twentieth century is about Industrialization. The poet starts by describing how the machines are created, wrought and taken from the ore-bed and mines. The only requirement for the machines is water, coal and oil. Further, Kipling enumerates the various skills of machines, such as pulling, carrying, pushing, lifting, driving, printing, ploughing, weaving, heating, lighting, running, racing, swimming, flying, diving, seeing, hearing, counting, reading and writing. Machines do exactly as it is programmed.

These machines have no feelings and any wrong handling can be dangerous for they are just machines with power invented by humans. The first intention of the poem reveals the progress of machines which is indeed a good thing for mankind. They make many things easier and facilitate the work of the humans.

The second purpose is to express that a machine can never replace a human-being, because a machine is devoid of feelings being the child of human brain. Hence man has full control over it, dependent on humans. By choosing the headline, “The secret of the machines” the poet wants to simplify that machines also have secret flaws where they don’t possess feelings nor identify a lie.

Any slip in handling it means instant death. At the time of mechanization, people gave importance to machines. So Rudyard Kipling wanted to make known the advantages and disadvantages of machines. I have come to the conclusion that the poem by Rudyard Kipling still has a current importance today and that for all advantages there are also disadvantages while using machines. “Industrialisation based on machinery, is a revolution wrought by technology.”

Worst of all, my salary was reduced, and I saw that marriage was out of the question. In my despair I consulted Professor Clinch about my dilemma, and as to some safe way of getting at the rubies. He said that, if my uncle had not lied, there was none that would not ruin the stones, especially the pearls, but that it was a silly tale and altogether incredible.

I offered him the biggest ruby if he wished to test his opinion. He did not desire to do so. Dr. Schaff, my uncle’s doctor, believed the old man’s letter, and added a caution, which was entirely useless, for by this time I was afraid to be in the room with that terrible box. At last the doctor kindly warned me that I was in danger of losing my mind with too much thought about my rubies. In fact, I did nothing else but contrive wild plans to get at them safely. I spent all my spare hours at one of the great libraries reading about dynamite.

Question 46.
Write a paragraph of about 150 words by developing the following hints. [2 x 8 = 16]
(a) Peter – cakes – his blind friend – dikes – people of Holland – keep the walls strong – safe and dry children know the danger – Peter’s father – mother’s errand – happy to see his friend sun was setting sound of trickling water – the danger realised – thrust his finger – tiny hole – nature protected – eyes closed – not asleep – the brave little hero of Holland.
Answer:
Peter is a little boy who lived in Holland. His father took care of the dikes called sluices so that ships could pass out of Holland’s canals into the sea. On a beautiful day in Autumn, Peter was asked to go and give cakes to his blind friend who lived on the other side of the dike by his mother.

After about an hour he returned home, but the climate had changed. It was raining and the water in the channel was rising. All of a sudden he heard the sound of dribbling water and he wondered from where the sound came, He then saw a small hole in the dike. He knew what that meant and due to the pressure of the water the hole would not stay the same. He feared danger. He climbed onto the dike and put his finger in the hole and hoped for someone to come to his help and cried out aloud. His mother mistook him to have stayed back with his blind friend and retired to bed.

The boy was sure that he had to stay awake the entire night and keep his finger in the hole to arrest the water from flooding Holland. The water in the canal was rising and if he would remove his finger from the hole in the sluice, the water would gush through and make the hole bigger and bigger. The town would obviously flood. When dawn broke, a man going to work heard the sound of Peter groaning and wondered what the little boy was up to. He was shocked at his reply but understood the danger and called for help. People came in with shovel and mended the hole. Peter was carried home and they all hailed him as the brave boy who saved Holland from drowning.

Answer:
Into Krishnan’s residence tottered the strangest, weirdest-looking bird, ZigZag. He was brought in by Somu’s cook, Visu. About a foot and a half tall, its bald head was fringed with a crown of shocking pink feathers while the rest of its plumage was in various shades of the muddiest and sludgiest brown. Its curved beak was sunflower-yellow and its eyes were the colour of cola held to sunlight. Visu introduced ZigZag as Ziggy-Zagga-king-of-the-Tonga and that he talks very beautifully.

He even added that he could recite French Poetry! In spite of all the praise showered on him, he stood cool and unmoved, with an expression of almost human grumpiness in his cola-coloured eyes. Arvind, tried his best to make ZigZag speak. He dashed into the kitchen and brought a plate with juicy fruit slices and some nuts. Bored eyes brightened as Zigzag picked up a walnut.

It refused to speak, dropped one wrinkled eyelid in a solemn wink and flew clumsily to deposit the nut on the enormous chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Silently and slowly, all the fruit on the plate was transferred to the chandelier and the blades of the ceiling fan. As soon as the cook Visu left, Zigzag, still perched on the curtain rod, went off to sleep.

Rough Boys
My parents kept me from children who were rough
And who threw words like stones and who wore torn clothes.
Their thighs showed through rags; they ran in the street And climbed cliffs and stripped by the country streams.
I feared more than tigers their muscles like iron
And their jerking hands and their knees tight on my arms.
I feared the salt coarse pointing of those boys Who copied my lisp behind me on the road.
They were lithe, they sprang out behind hedges Like dogs to bark at our world. They threw mud And I looked another way, pretending to smile,
I longed to forgive them, yet they never smiled.

Part – III

Answer any seven questions (Q.No: 32 is compulsory) [7 × 4 = 28]

Question 23.
Explain the process of controlled and uncontrolled chain reactions.
Answer:
Controlled chain reaction:

• In the controlled chain reaction the number of neutrons released is maintained to be one. This is achieved by absorbing the extra neutrons with a neutron absorber leaving only one neutron to produce further fission.
• Thus, the reaction is sustained in a controlled manner. The energy released due to a controlled chain reaction can be utilized for constructive purposes.
• Controlled chain reaction is used in a nuclear reactor to produce energy in a sustained and controlled manner.

Uncontrolled chain reaction:

• In the uncontrolled chain reaction the number of neutrons multiplies indefinitely and causes fission in a large amount of the fissile material.
• This results in the release of a huge amount of energy within a fraction of a second.
• This kind of chain reaction is used in the atom bomb to produce an explosion.

Question 24.
What are the factors that affect the speed of sound in gases?
Answer:
Effect of density: The velocity of sound in a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the gas. Hence, the velocity decreases as the density of the gas increases.
v ∝ \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{d}}\)

Effect of temperature:
(i) The velocity of sound in a gas is directly proportional to the square root of its temperature.
(ii) The velocity of sound in a gas increases with the increase in temperature, v ∝ \(\sqrt{\mathrm{T}}\) Velocity at temperature T is given by the following equation:
v_T = (v₀ + 0.61 T) ms^-1

Here, v₀ is the velocity of sound in the gas at 0° C. For air, v₀ = 331 ms^-1. Hence, the velocity of sound changes by 0.61 ms-1, when the temperature changes by one degree Celsius.

Effect of relative humidity: When humidity increases, the speed of sound increases. That is why we can hear sound from long distance clearly during rainy seasons.

Question 25.
(i) Classify the types of force based on their application.
Answer:
Based on the direction in which the forces act, they can be classified into two types as:

1. Like parallel forces
2. Unlike parallel forces.

1. Like parallel forces:
Two or more forces of equal or unequal magnitude acting along the same direction, parallel to each other are called like parallel forces.

2. Unlike parallel forces:
If two or more equal forces or unequal forces act along opposite directions parallel to each other, then they are called unlike parallel forces.

(ii) How is the circulatory system designed in leech to compensate the heart structure?
Answer:
The circulation in Leech is Haemocoelic system. There are no true blood vessels. The blood vessels are replaced by channels called Haemocoelic channels or canals filled with blood like fluid. The coelomic fluid contain Haemoglobin. There are four longitudinal channels. One channel lies above (dorsal) to the Alimentary canal, one below (ventral) to the Alimentary canal.

The other two channels lie on either (lateral) side of the Alimentary canal, which serves as a heart and have inner valves. All the four channels are connected together posteriorly in the 26th segment. Thus the circulatory system is designed in Leech to compensate the heart structure.

(b) (i) Explain the mechanism of cleansing action of soap.
Answer:
A soap molecule contains two chemically distinct parts that interact differently with water. It has one polar end, which is a short head with a carboxylate group (- COONa) and one non polar end having the long tail made of the hydrocarbon chain.

The polar end is hydrophilic (Water loving) in nature and this end is attracted towards water. The non-polar end is hydrophobic (Water hating) in nature and it is attracted towards dirt or oil on the cloth, but not attracted towards water. Thus, the hydrophobic part of the soap molecule traps the dirt and the hydrophilic part makes the entire molecule soluble in water.

When a soap or detergent is dissolved in water, the molecules join together as clusters called ‘micelles’. Their long hydrocarbon chains attach themselves to the oil and dirt. The dirt is thus surrounded by the non-polar end of the soap molecules. The charged carboxylate end of the soap molecules makes the micelles soluble in water. Thus, the dirt is washed away with the soap.

(ii) Differentiate soaps and detergents.
Answer:
Soaps:

• It is a sodium salt of long chain fatty acids.
• Its effectiveness is reduced when used in hard water.
• Soaps are biodegradable.

Detergents:

• It is a sodium salt of sulphonic acids.
• It is effective even in hard water.
• Most of the detergents are non-biodegradable.

Question 35.
(a) (i) Explain the functions of the thyroid hormones?
(ii) How are stem cells useful in regenerative process?

(i) Functions of the thyroid hormone:

• Increases oxygen consumption in tissues.
• Production of energy by maintaining the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) of the body.
• Helps to maintain normal body temperature.
• Controls growth of the body, bone formation and development of gonads.
• Essential for normal physical, mental and personality development. Hence also known as personality hormone.

(ii) Stem cells useful in regenerative process:
Sometimes cells, tissues and organs in the body may be permanently damaged or lost due to genetic condition or disease or injury.

In such situations, stem cells are used for the treatment of diseases, which is called stem cell therapy.
In treating neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease neuronal stem cells can be used to replace the damaged or lost neurons.

(iii) The study of fossils is known as Palaeontology.

[OR]

(b) Explain with an example the inheritance of dihybrid cross. How is it different from monohybrid cross?
Answer:
The dihybrid cross involves the inheritance of two pairs of contrast characteristics, round – yellow seeds and wrinkled – green seeds.

When pea plants having round- yellow seeds cross bred with pea plant having wrinkled – green seeds, in the first generation (F₁), only round yellow seeds were produced.

No wrinkled – green seeds were obtained. Round yellow colour seeds were dominant and wrinkled-green seeds were recessive.

When round-yellow seeds were cross bred by self-pollination, four types of seeds having different combinations of shape and colour were obtained in F₂ generation. They were
round yellow, round green
wrinkled yellow, wrinkled green
The phenotypic ratio in F₂ generation is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
i.e. 9 – Yellow, round
3 – Yellow, wrinkled
3 – Green, round
1 – Green, wrinkled

Monohybrid cross:

• Monohybrid cross is a genetic cross that involves a singles pair of genes which is responsible for one trait
• Monohybrid ratio in F₂ generation is 3 : 1

Dihybrid cross:

• Dihybrid cross is a genetic cross that involves two pairs of genes which is responsible for two trait
• Dihybrid ratio in F₂ generation is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

Question 29.
Narrate the extensive search operation made by the policemen in the house.
Answer:
The arrival of the police blows the whole event out of proportion. The cops call out for the front door to be opened, and when no one in the house goes downstairs, they break it in. They go upstairs to find the narrator, still walking around with a towel over him after his bath. The mother insists there were burglars though the police confirms that all doors and windows are bolted from inside. The police set about probing the house, moving furniture and emptying closets.

At one point, a policeman’s inquisitiveness makes him point out an unusual old musical instrument, a zither, to another officer. The police are suspicious of the family members’ strange behaviour. When the narrator’s grandfather, sleeping in the attic, makes a slight noise, the policemen spring into action. They race upstairs to investigate. The narrator fears trouble because his grandfather feels that the Civil War is in progress.

When the policemen arrive at his door, he is convinced that they are Meade’s army and calls them deserters. He slaps a policeman sending him to the floor and takes the man’s gun from his holster and shoots at him, hitting him in the shoulder. He fires twice more and then goes back to bed. Back downstairs, the police feel defeated. They bandage the wounded officer and search the house again.

Question 30.
How is Dr. Watson used to trap Smith without his knowledge by Sherlock Holmes?
Answer:
Dr. Watson is called by Mrs. Hudson to tend Holmes, who is apparently dying of a rare tropical disease, Tarpaunli fever, contracted while he was on a case at Rotherhithe. Holmes forbids Watson to go near him because the illness is highly infectious. Although Watson wishes to examine Holmes himself or send for a specialist, Holmes demands that Watson
wait several hours before seeking help.

While Watson waits, he examines several objects in Holmes’s room. Holmes is angered when Watson touches things on his table stating his dislike for people fidgeting his things. At six o’clock, Holmes asks Watson to turn the gaslight on, but only half-full. He then instructs Watson to bring Mr. Culverton Smith from 13 Lower Burke Street to see Holmes but to make sure that Watson returns to Baker Street before Smith arrives. Watson goes to Smith’s address. Although Smith refuses to see anyone, Watson forces his way in.

Once Watson explains his duty on behalf of Sherlock Holmes, Smith’s assertiveness changes significantly. Smith agrees to come to Baker Street within half an hour. Watson excuses himself, saying that he has another appointment, and returns to Baker Street before Smith’s arrival. Believing that they are alone, Smith is frank with Holmes and explains how he murdered his nephew Victor. At the end, Holmes calls for Watson to come out from behind the screen, to present himself as another witness to the conversation. Holmes explains his illness was feigned as a trick to induce Smith to confess to his nephew’s murder.
‘A detective s perspective traps the criminal. ’

Question 31.
Give a detailed account of all thoughts and questions in the narrator’s mind while accompanying Aditya from the tea shop to Sanyal’s house?
Answer:
The narrator had noticed the keen interest of Aditya in seeing the tea shop at Bramhapur if it still existed. They saw Sasanka Sanyal another customer seated in one comer of the Nagen’s Tea Cabin. When that customer was asked to leave by Nagen the owner, he behaved in a strange manner and reacted sharply. Before leaving the place, he stretched himself, raised his lean arm and with diluted eyes recited a poem by Tagore.

On hearing this poem and seeing the customer’s strange gesture of Namaste, Aditya’s expression changed. The narrator noticed the eagerness in Aditya to know who the gentlemen was and what he was doing. The information he had received from Nagen uncle perturbed Aditya. He was distressed perhaps to know that the man lost his wife and only son last year. When he left, Aditya was bent on knowing where the gentleman stayed and drove straight to his ancestral house with firm determination. His nerves seemed overwrought for some reason and he felt a strong necessity to visit his house.

Aditya was totally a different person now and he expressed keen interest to visit his house where he lived twenty nine years ago. ‘
“Memories are sometimes pleasant yet disturbing.”

Question 32.
How was the last lesson different from earlier lessons?
Answer:
The last lesson was different from earlier lessons in numerous ways. It revealed the love and respect of the teacher and students for their mother tongue. Even the teacher was unusually kind and did not scold children. M. Hamel taught very patiently, with utmost dedication and sincerity. It seemed as if he wanted to give all that he knew before going away.

He was dressed at his best and his ‘iron ruler’ was not used even to rap it on the desk. The last lesson was attended by villagers with deep remorse to show their love and respect for their mother tongue and also to M. Hamel. The students listened very carefully and everybody was absolutely quiet. Franz regretted for not learning his lesson. The last lesson was indeed emotional. It stirred patriotic feelings and awakened the villagers to the importance of their mother tongue.
“The bird of love flies on two wings-
Faith and Dedicated Service.”

Question 33.
Describe the tree which adds to the mystery of the house.
Answer:
The poem, ‘The House on Elm Street’ by Nadia Bush is a dark poem. The house and the tree depict darkness and also a mysterious feel. Trees generally grow green. It is a representation of fertility and robust nature. Unlike a tree’s characteristic features the tree beside the mysterious house is also mysterious. The tree stands erect with no leaves in them.

There is no fall of leaves during autumn and there is no leaves sprouting during spring. There aren’t any leaves on the tree for the leaves to dry during summer nor for the snow to cover the leaves with snow during winter. This tree doesn’t grow tall nor does it get small. It is quite a mystery to see a living tree appearing lifeless!
“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man s desire to understand.”

Question 34.
Bring out the essence of the Poem ‘Life’ in a Nutshell.
Answer:
Henry Van Dyke, one of the greatest American short story writers and poets, has surpassed the act of writing skillfully. ‘Life’ is no doubt one of his priced literary pieces. This poem is a pinnacle of expressive embarkment on the quest of self-revival from the glum beats of monotony. It has a very deep and farsighted meaning held within it and this is evident from the very beginning of the poem. The poem is the poet’s own reflection on his life and tells his point of view on the more important things in life.

The poet advices the readers from his life experiences. We feel that he is now an older man reflecting on his younger days. Through his words he is explaining to us what he is taking away as most important to live is the best life possible. Life is too short to get caught up in the moment or worry about the past. On the other hand, it suggests that we look forward to what the future holds. We sometimes find ourselves brooding on the bad times and we forget about how much good there is in the future.

The poet is making us understand this concept and be more aware of reality. “Life is short and if we enjoy every moment of everyday, We will be happy no matter what happens or changes our way!”

As he walked beside the canal, he noticed how the rains had swollen the waters, and how they beat against the side of the dike, and he thought of his father’s gates. “I am glad they are so strong,” he said to himself. “If they gave way what would become of us? •These pretty fields would be covered with water. Father always calls them the ‘angry waters.’ I suppose he thinks they are angry at him for keeping them out so long.”

As he walked along he sometimes stopped to pick the pretty blue flowers that grew beside the road, or to listen to the rabbits’ soft tread as they rustled through the grass. But oftener he smiled as he thought of his visit to the poor blind man who had so few pleasures and was always so glad to see him. Suddenly he noticed that the sun was setting, and that it was growing dark. “Mother will be watching for me,” he thought, and he began to run toward home. Just then he heard a noise. It was the sound of trickling water!

Question  43.
Make notes or write a summary of the following passage.
Question
A proper consideration of the value of time will inspire habits of punctuality. “Punctuality”, said Louis XIV, “is the politeness of kings.” It is also the duty of gentle men and the necessity of men of business. Nothing begets confidence in a man sooner than the practice of this virtue and nothing shakes confidence sooner than the practice of this virtue and nothing shakes confidence sooner than the want of it. He who holds to his appointment and does not keep you waiting for him shows that he has regard for your time as well as for his own.

Thus punctuality is one of the modes by which we testify our personal respect for those whom we ” are called .upon to meet in the business of life. It is also conscientious in a measure for an appointment is a contract, expressed or implied and he who does not keep it, breaks faith as well as dishonestly loses character.

Question 46.
(a) Mulan – legendary Chinese warrior – grown up child – aging war expert – neglects convention and regulation – disguises – registers in lieu – saves father from death – secretly takes his place – rises to the needs – daring – hardships – firm determination – confident and brave – Self-belief – China’s greatest heroines.
Answer:
The Story of Mulan portrays the legendary Chinese warrior Hua Mulan. This old Chinese folktale is about the story of the young Chinese maiden who learns that her wizened, old and frail father is to be called up into the army in order to fight the invading Huns by the Chinese Emperor. When the Huns invade China, one man from every family is called to arms. She hears of the order that every family must send one man to the army while washing clothes.

Mulan’s father, who is frail and aged decides to fight for his country though it is clear that he will not survive an enemy encounter. He decides to go to war but is prevented by her daughter with her outrageous decision. Knowing her father’s frail state, she decides to disguise herself and join in his place without second thoughts. In the army, Mulan proves to be a brave soldier who is later put in charge of other soldiers. Her battles goes so well that more soldiers are added. After a few years, Mulan becomes the General of the entire army. Suddenly, bad fever swept through the army. Many soldiers including Mulan become a prey. The arrival of the doctor brings to light the hidden truth.

Many soldiers disapprove such a thought, though some soldiers see the winning chances. Just then a soldier announces the surprise attack by the enemies. With no time to debate, the soldiers spring to action at the command of the General who hears this from inside her tent. She gets dressed and though not strong, she stands tall. She instructs the soldiers to attack knowing very well her strategic planning that all her soldiers acknowledge and win the battle.

It was such a big victory that the enemy gave up, at last. The war was over, and China was saved! The Emperor forgives Mulan and was glad that Mulan had ended the long war. He wanted Mulan to stay with him in the palace and be an advisor but as she chose to go to her family, the emperor gave her six horses and six fine swords so that her people will know that he thinks of her.

(b) Explain the mother’s love with reference to the story, ‘The Aged Mother’ by developing the hints.
The despotic ruler decree – mother’s love – pure and unselfish – guides – kind mode of death – summit of Obatsayuma – son’s danger – untrodden path – wisdom and experience – breaks twigs – guide for return journey.
Answer:
The story of the Aged Mother, a folklore from Japan, tells a story about the care and wisdom of a mother to his son, their condition and the son’s love and gentle respect. This story talks about the conflict in the poor farmer’s mind.A mother’s affection is something that none can describe. It is composed of insightful sustenance of sacrifice and pain which is eternal and unconditional.

The thought that “A mother’s love is invaluable and can never be equated to further belongings that a child might own’ perturbs the narrator. The law pronounced by the tyrant ruler fills the heart of the poor farmer with deep remorse. Instead of putting his mother to death in the hand of the cruel law he decides to give his mother a kind mode of death. He takes his mother to the bare summit of Obatsayuma and plans to abandon her there.

The mother too is pained on the way to the summit of the mountain. Her heart grows concerned because she knows that her son will be in danger on his way back because he is not familiar to the paths and hence she breaks the twigs and drops it quietly on the road to serve as a guide for her son’s return journey.

Question 47.
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
As a young boy, one of my favourite pastimes was hunting frogs along the banks of a pond near our home. I was unaware of their unique visual powers that enabled them to elude me so easily. Later I learnt that the frog’s optical field is very much like a blackboard wiped clean, and that the only images it receives are objects that directly concern him. These little amphibians are never distracted by unimportant things, but are aware only of essentials and whatever may be dangerous to them.
In life we frequently become preoccupied with the vain things of the world. We allow our lives to become so cluttered with materialistic and insignificant concerns that we lose our perspective of the things that endure.

Questions.
(a) What was the young boy’s favourite pastime activity?
(b) What is unique about the frog’s vision?
(c) Why was the author never able to catch a frog?
(d) What is the lesson we must learn from the frog?

An angel writing in a book of gold:

And to the presence in the room, he said,
“What writest thou?” The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered “The names of those who love the Lord.”
“And is mine one?” said Abou. “Nay, not so,”
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low.
But cheerily still and said, “I pray thee then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men.”
The angel wrote and vanished.

And showed the names whom the love of God has blessed.
And lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest.

(குறிப்பு – சுற்றுச்சூழல் மாசுபடுவதைத் தடுக்கச் சட்டங்கள் இயற்றப்பட்டிருந்தாலும், ஒவ்வொருவரின் உள்ளத்திலும் ஏற்படும் மாற்றமே சுற்றுச்சூழலைப் பாதுகாக்கும்)
Answer:
சுற்றுச்சூழல் :

‘சுத்தம் சுகம் தரும்’, ‘சுத்தம் சோறு போடும்’, ‘சுத்தம் கடவுள் தன்மைக்கு ஒப்பானது’ என்னும் பழமொழிகள் தூய்மையாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதை வலியுறுத்துகின்றன.

புறந்தூய்மை நீரான் அமையும் அகந்தூய்மை
வாய்மையால் காணப் படும்

என்கிறார் திருவள்ளுவர். உடலின் தூய்மை நீரால் அமைவதுபோல உள்ளத்தின் தூய்மை வாய்மையால் அமைகிறது என்பது இக்குறளின் பொருள். அதுபோல வீட்டையும் வீட்டின் சுற்றுப்புறத்தையும் நாம் தூய்மையாக வைத்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

வீட்டில் எப்போதும் தூய்மை இல்லாமை, காற்றோட்டம் இன்மை, போதிய வெளிச்சம் இன்மை, கெட்டுப்போன பொருள்களை உண்ணல், நோயாளியுடன் இருத்தல், அழுக்கு ஆடைகளை உடுத்துதல், இயற்கைச் சூழல் இன்மை ஆகிய காரணங்களால் நமக்கு நோய்கள் வருகின்றன.

அரசியல் தலைவர்களோ, அறிஞர்களோ கலந்து கொள்ளும் ஒவ்வொரு விழாவின் போதும் கட்டாயமாக ஒரு மரக்கன்றை நட்ட பின்னரே விழா நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். வீடுகளைச் சுற்றிலும் மரங்களை வளர்க்க வேண்டும்.

‘நோயற்ற வாழ்வே குறைவற்ற செல்வம்’ என்னும் பழமொழிக்கு எடுத்துக்காட்டாய் வாழ வேண்டும். சுற்றுப்புறம் தூய்மையாக இருத்தல் வேண்டும். குப்பைக் கூளங்கள் இல்லாமல் எல்லா இடங்களிலும் இயற்கை அன்னை கொலு வீற்றிருக்கச் செய்தல் வேண்டும்.

Question 43.
(அ) தமிழின் சொல்வளம் பற்றியும் புதிய சொல்லாக்கத்திற்கான தேவை குறித்தும் தமிழ்
மன்றத்தில் பேசுவதற்கான உரைக் குறிப்புகளை எழுதுக.
Answer:
முன்னுரை:
கால வெள்ளத்தில் கரைந்துபோன மொழிகளுக்கிடையில் நீந்தி தன்னை நிலை நிறுத்திக் கொண்டுள்ளது. தமிழ் சொல்வளம் இலக்கியச் செம்மொழிகளுக்கெல்லாம் பொது என்றாலும் தமிழ் மட்டுமே அதில் தலை சிறந்ததாகும். தமிழின் சொல் வளத்தை நாம் பலதுறைகளிலும் காணலாம்.

தமிழின் சொல் வளம்:
ஆங்கிலம் போன்ற மொழிகளில் இலையைக் குறிக்க ஒரே ஒரு சொல் மட்டுமே உள்ளது. ஆனால் தமிழ்மக்கள் இலையை அதன் வன்மை, மென்மை இவற்றைக் கொண்டு இலை, தோகை, ஓலை என பாகுபாடு செய்துள்ளனர். இதுமட்டுமன்றி தாவரங்கள், மணிவகை, இளம்பயிர்வகை, காய்கனி வகை, அடி, கிளை கொழுந்து என அனைத்து உறுப்புகளுக்கும் சொற்களைப் பகுத்து வைத்துள்ளனர்.

பூவின் நிலைகளைக் குறிக்கும் சொற்கள்:
அரும்பு: பூவின் தோற்றநிலை போது, பூ விரியத் தொடங்கும் நிலை மலர், பூவின் மலர்ந்த நிலை, வீ: மரம், செடியிலிருந்து பூ கீழே விழுந்த நிலை செம்மல், பூ வாடின நிலை

தமிழின் பொருள் வளம்:
தமிழ்நாடு எத்துணைப் பொருள் வளமுடையது என்பது அதன் வினைபொருள் வகைகளை நோக்கினாலே விளங்கும். தமிழ்நாட்டு நெல்லில் செந்நெல் வெண்ணெல், கார்நெல் என்றும், சம்பா, மட்டை, கார் என்றும் பல வகைகள் உள்ளன. அவற்றில் சம்பாவில் மட்டும் ஆவிரம் பூச்சம்பா, ஆனைக் கொம்பன் சம்பா, குண்டு சம்பா, குதிரை வாலிச்சம்பா, சிறுமணிச்சம்பா, சீரகச்சம்பா முதலிய அறுபது உள் வகைகள் உள்ளன. இவற்றோடு வரகு, காடைக்கண்ணி-குதிரைவாலி முதலிய சிறு கூலங்கள் தமிழ் நாட்டிலன்றி வேறெங்கும் விளைவதில்லை.

முடிவுரை:
பண்டைத் தமிழ் மக்கள் தனிப்பெரும் நாகரிகத்தை உடையவராக இருந்திருக்கின்றனர். ஒரு நாட்டாரின் அல்லது இனத்தாரின் நாகரிகத்தை அளந்தறிவதற்கு உதவுவது மொழியேயாகும். ஆகவே “நாடும் மொழியும் நமதிரு கண்கள்” என்ற கூற்றின்படி பொருட்களைக் கூர்ந்து நோக்கி நுண்பொருட் சொற்களை அமைத்துக் கொள்வது நம் தலையாய கடமையாகும்.

• அவர்கள் உண்டபின் அவர்களுக்கு வெற்றிலை பாக்கு கொடுத்து இளப்பாற வைத்தோம்.
• பின் அவர்கள் வீட்டிற்குச் சொல்லும் போது அவர்களுக்குப் பரிசுப்பொருள் கொடுத்து வீட்டின் வாசல் வரை சென்று வழி அனுப்பி வைத்தோம்.

Question 44.
(அ) அன்னமய்யா என்னும் பெயருக்கும் அவரின் செயலுக்கும் உள்ள
பொருத்தப்பாட்டினைக் கோபல்லபுரத்து மக்கள் கதைப்பகுதி கொண்டு விவரிக்க.
Answer:
கதைக்கரு:
கிராமத்து மனிதர்கள் காட்டும் விருந்தோம்பல் பகிர்ந்து கொடுக்கிற நேயம்.

கதைமாந்தர்கள் :

• சுப்பையா
• கிராமத்து மக்கள் . அன்னமய்யா
• மணி

முன்னுரை:
கிராமத்து வெள்ளந்தி மனிதர்கள் காட்டும் விருந்தோம்பல் இயல்பான வரவேற்பும் எளிமையான உணவும் பசித்த வேளையில் வந்தவர்களுக்குத் தம்மிடம் இருப்பதை பகிர்ந்து கொடுக்கிற மனித நேயம் ஆகியவற்றை இக்கதைப்பகுதி எடுத்துக்கூறுகிறது.

கிராமத்து காட்சி :
அதிகாலை நேரத்தில் பாச்சல் அருகு எடுத்து முடித்துவிட்டுக் காலைக் கஞ்சியைக் குடிக்க உட்காரும் வேளையில் அன்னமய்யா யாரோ ஒரு சன்னியாசியைக் கூட்டிக் கொண்டு வருவதைக் கண்டான் சுப்பையா வரட்டும் வரட்டும். ஒரு வயிற்றுக்குக் கஞ்சி ஊற்றி நாமும் குடிப்போம் என்றார். கொத்தாளி அந்தப் புஞ்சை சாலையோரத்தில் இருந்ததால் தேசாந்திரிகள் வந்து இவர்களிடம் தண்ணீரோ, கஞ்சியோ சாப்பிட்டு விட்டுப் போவது வழக்கம்.

அன்னமய்யா கண்ட காட்சி:
நடக்க முடியாமல் உட்கார்ந்து உட்கார்ந்து எழுந்திருந்து ஆயாசமாக மெதுவாக நடந்து வந்து தாடியும் அழுக்கு ஆடையும் தள்ளாட்டமுமாக நடந்து வந்து கொண்டிருந்தவனைப் பார்க்கும் போது வயோதிகனாகவும் சாமியாரைப்போலவும் எண்ண வைத்தது. தற்செயலாக இவனைக்கண்ட அன்னமய்யா அவன் அருகில் சென்று பார்த்த பிறகுதான் தெரிந்தது அவன் ஒரு வாலிபன் என்று, கால்களை நீட்டி புளிய மரத்தில் சாய்ந்து உட்கார்ந்திருந்த அவனை நெருங்கிப் பார்த்தபோது பசியால் அவன் முகம் வாடிப்போயிருந்தது.

அன்னமய்யாவின் செயல்:
பசியால் வாடிப்போயிருந்த அவன் முகத்தில் தீட்சணியம் தெரிந்தது தன்னைப் பார்த்து ஒரு நேசப்புன்னகை காட்டிய அந்த வாலிப மனிதனைப் பார்த்துக்கொண்டே நின்றான் அன்னமய்யா. குடிக்கக் கொஞ்சம் தண்ணீர் கிடைக்குமா? என்ற அவனைத் தன்னோடு மெதுவாக நடக்க வைத்து அழைத்துச் சென்றான் அன்னமய்யா.

அன்னமய்யாவின் விருந்தோம்பல்:
வேப்பமரத்தின் அடியில் ஏகப்பட்ட மண் கலயங்கள் இருந்தன. அதில் அன்னமய்யா ஒரு கலயத்தின் மேல் வைக்கப்பட்ட கல்லை அகற்றிச் சிரட்டையைத் துடைத்துச் சுத்தப்படுத்தி அந்த கலயத்தில் பதனமான வடித்த நீரை அவனிடம் உறிஞ்சி குடிங்க எனக் கொடுத்தான். உட்கார்ந்து குடிங்க என்று உபசரித்தான். பிறகு கலயத்தைச் சுற்றி ஆட்டியதும் தெளிவு மறைந்து சோற்றின் மகுளி மேலே வந்ததும் வார்த்துக் கொடுத்தான். பிறகு அன்னமய்யா அந்த புது ஆளைச் சுப்பையாவின் வயலுக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்று கம்மஞ்சோற்றைச் சாப்பிட வைத்தான். அந்த வாலிபன் அன்னமய்யா என்ற பெயரை மனசுக்குத் திருப்பித் திருப்பிச் சொல்லிப் பார்த்துக் கொண்டான். எவ்வளவு பொருத்தம் என்று நினைத்துக் கொண்டான்.

முடிவுரை:
வந்தவனுக்கு எப்படி ஒரு நிறைவு ஏற்பட்டதோ அதை விட மேலான ஒரு நிறைவு அன்னமய்யாவுக்கு ஏற்பட்டது. வயிறு நிறைந்ததும் தூங்கிவிடும் குழந்தையைப் பார்ப்பதுபோல அவனை ஒரு பிரியத்தோடு பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தான் அன்னமய்யா.

முன்னுரை – பாரதத்தில் கணினியின் வளர்ச்சி – கணினியின் பயன்கள் – பிற துறைகளில் கணினி – கல்வி நிலையங்களில் கணினி — முடிவுரை.
Answer:
இந்தியாவில் கணினிப் புரட்சி

முன்னுரை:
உலக நாடுகளிடையே இந்தியாவும் முன்னேற்றமடைந்த வளர்ச்சியுற்ற நாடாக வேண்டும். இக்கனவு நனவாகுமா? இதற்குப் பாரதம் பல துறைகளிலும் நன்கு உழைக்க வேண்டும். அவற்றுள் ஒன்றுதான் கணினிப் புரட்சி. உலக நாடுகள் அனைத்தும் கணினித் துறையில் வளர்ந்த அளவிற்கு நாமும் உயர வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணம் தான் 1984இல் கணினியைக் கொணர்ந்தோம். அன்றைய பிரதமர் திரு. இராஜீவ் காந்தி அவர்கள் கணினிக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்து முதலிடம் அளித்தார்.

பாரதத்தில் கணினியின் வளர்ச்சி:
முதன் முதலாக மும்பையிலுள்ள டாடா ஆய்வு மையம் தான் 1966இல் கணினியை இயக்கத் தொடங்கியது. நம் நாட்டிலுள்ள மின்னியல் கழகம் கணினிகளை வாணிக நோக்குடன் தயாரிக்கத் தொடங்கியது. மின்னியல் துறையில் ஒரு புரட்சி ஏற்பட்டது. அப்போதைய பிரதமர் திரு. இராஜீவ் காந்தி அவர்கள் இந்தியாவிற்கு நல்ல எதிர்காலம் நல்கும் என வலியுறுத்தினார். வேலையில்லாத் திண்டாட்டத்திற்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைக்கும் அளவிற்கு மின்னியல் துறையை வளர்த்தார். தற்போது நல்ல அடிப்படையுடன் கணினித் துறை பல துறைகளிலும் நிலைபெற்று விட்டது.

கணினியின் பயன்கள்:
மக்கள் சபையிலும், மாநில சட்டமன்றங்களிலும் கூட கணினி பயன்படுகிறது. தேர்தல் முடிவுகளை உடனுக்குடன் அறிவிப்பதிலும், வானொலி, தொலைக்காட்சி நிகழ்ச்சிகளைத் தயாரிப்பதிலும் கணினித் தொழில் நுட்பம் அங்கம் வகிக்கிறது. எல்லா மாநிலத் தலைநகரங்களிலும், மாவட்டத் தலைநகரங்களிலும் கணினி மயமாக்கப்பட்டுவிட்டது. போர்க்கால அடிப்படையில் வங்கிகள் யாவும் கணினியை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டுவிட்டன. தேசிய மயமாக்கப்பட்ட வங்கிகளைக் கணினியைக் கொண்டு கண்காணிக்க உதவுகிறது. தேசிய காப்பீட்டுக் கழகம் பெரிய அளவில் கணினி மயமாக்கப்பட்டு விட்டது.

பிறதுறைகளில் கணினி:
போக்குவரத்துத் துறையான விமான, இரயில் துறைகளில் இருக்கை முன்பதிவு செய்யவும், அவற்றைக் கட்டுப்பாட்டுக்குள் செயல்பட வைக்கவும் கணினி பயன்படுகிறது. குற்றவாளிகளைக் கண்டு பிடிக்கக் கூடிய முறைகள் கையாளப்படுகின்றன. மருத்துவத் துறையில் இரத்தப் பரிசோதனை, இருதய ஆய்வு, அறுவைச் சிகிச்சையிலும் கூட குறிப்பிடத்தக்க அளவில் பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது.

கல்வி நிலையங்களில் கணினி:
வணிகம், தொழில், தபால், தந்தி போன்ற பல துறைகளிலும் கணினிபுரட்சி ஏற்பட்டு விட்டது. கல்வி நிலையங்களில், பல்கலைக் கழகங்களில் கல்வி மேம்பாட்டுப் பணிகளைச் செய்து விடுகிறது. பலரும் கணினி பற்றிய கல்வி நிலையங்களைத் துவங்கி பட்டம், பட்டமேற்படிப்பு என வகைப்படுத்தி இந்தியாவில் அனைவருமே கணினி அறிவு பெற்றுத் திகழ வாய்ப்பினை ஏற்படுத்தி விட்டது. இதன்மூலம் நம்நாட்டு இளைஞர்கள் மேனாடுகளில் சென்று வேலைவாய்ப்பு பெற்று நிரம்பப் பொருளீட்டும் வாய்ப்பும் பெற்றுள்ளனர். கணினித் தொழில் நுட்பம் செய்திகளை அனுப்பவும், தொலைதூர நாடுகளிடையே தொடர்பு ஏற்படுத்தவும் பெரிதும் உதவுகிறது. கல்வி நிலையங்களில் கணினி ஒரு பாடத் திட்டமாக அமைந்துள்ளது. தற்கால இளைஞர்கள் கணினியை விரும்பிக் கற்று புரட்சி ஏற்படுத்துவதில் முனைந்துவிட்டனர்.

முடிவுரை:
கணினித்துறை, நம் நாட்டின் எதிர்காலத்தில் மிக விரைவாகவும், திறமையாகவும் செயல்படும் என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை. பாரதத்தின் தொழில் வளர்ச்சிக்கேற்ப கணினித் துறை பெருமளவில் வளர்ச்சி பெறுவது இயற்கை நியதிகளில் ஒன்றாகிவிடும்.

Was the young seagull same at the beginning and at the end of the lesson? Compare and contrast the two kinds of the same seagull in the lesson.
Answer:
No, the young seagull was not the same bird at the beginning and at the end of the lesson. In the beginning, the young seagull used to be all alone on his ledge. His two brothers and his sister had flown away the day before. He had been afraid of flying with them. Whenever he tried to flap his wings, he was seized with fear. He felt certain that his wings would never support him. His father and mother flew around calling to him shrilly.

They were constantly scolding and taunting him. They were threatening to let him starve on his ledge unless he flew away. However, the young seagull was more confident and sure of his success in the end. Maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish. After trials and errors, his wings spread outwards. He was soaring gradually downwards forgetting all his hesitations and fears. He could float on the ocean now. His success was welcomed by his family. They were praising him now and their beaks were offering him their scraps of dog-fish.

Question 30.
“Technology is a boon to the disabled”. Justify.
Answer:
The differently abled, Alisha and David’s life has been transformed because of Technology. It is a boon to the disabled. Assistive technology is designed to help people with disabilities. Typing was impossible, but now Dragon Dictate helps the disabled to speak for words to be printed on screen. Technology can control a computer screen even with Eye Gaze.

Technology is vital to be free and independent. For verbal communication, Liberator Communication Device, with eye movements to communicate verbally is used. It has a Bluetooth adaptor and took a couple of weeks to leam using it. Communicating with people was very difficult before. An ACTIV controller also in the headrest of a mobility chair is used to control TV, Blu-Ray and music players.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication is also the product of technological advancements and a boon to the disabled. EC02 linked to an interactive whiteboard is used to teach PE lessons. Technology also helps control the Play Station, MP3, electric wheelchair and ECO point Eye Gaze to communicate and access the computer. Thus, Technology is a boon to the disabled.
“Technology is not just a tool. It can give learners a voice
that they may not have had before.”

Question 31.
Highlight the factors responsible for the all-women Indian Navy crew to carry out their expedition.
Answer:
The support the crew members received was a major factor. When they knew that they were doing well and looked after themselves well, in spite of all apprehensions they were supportive. The crew members’ personal aim and target mattered a lot. Mostly they wanted to make sure that they complete the journey with ultimate honesty without the use of engines. Than the destination, the journey was important. So their contention was to make sure that they go by the rules of circumnavigation without any means of repulsion and anybody else’s assistance.

The presence of mind and common sense to make decisions and act quickly was an added factor. They had to quickly do an analysis of problem solving techniques. Ego should never come amidst them. Team work helped them to collaborate and work together. Mutual understanding was important too.

One would heat the water while the other would heat the gloves or even rested. Over all the confidence you had in each other than the trust and acceptance as every member of the crew to be a family was a must to carry out the expedition.
“It’s about women helping women and women doing things
together and supporting each other. ”

Question 32.
Give an account of the last day of M. Hamel in school.
Answer:
The story described what was just another ordinary day for Franz who started very late for school that morning. Franz, who played truant with French class, feared M. Hamel’s iron rod. He came to the school thinking he would be punished as he had not leamt his lesson on participles. In fact, he was reluctant to go to school. Initially, he thought of spending the bright warm day outdoors enjoying the chirping of birds and seeing the drilling of Prussian soldiers at the back of the sawmill. On the way, Franz passed the Town hall, where he saw a large crowd reading the bulletin board which had been a source of all bad news. Franz rushed to his classroom, overseeing it for the fear of being chided.

When Franz arrived at the school, his classmates were already seated and the teacher had already started teaching. The back benches were occupied by grim and solemn villagers including the Mayor, The Postmaster, Hauser and many others. To his surprise, M. Hamel was in his Sunday clothes. Franz found M. Hamel to be kinder than usual. Franz was shocked to know that it was the last French lesson and the German teacher would start classes the next day.

He was full of regret for not learning his mother tongue and felt a sudden love for French. He even started liking M. Hamel and forgot all about his ruler. When M. Hamel asked Franz to recite the rules of participle, he was petrified. M. Hamel didn’t scold him and remarked that the only problem with people of

Alsace was procrastinating learning. He blamed parents and himself for exploiting children. Hamel then talked of the French language, calling it the most beautiful language in the world. He said that when we were enslaved knowing our mother tongue was similar to having the key to prison. As the church clock bell struck twelve, M. Hamel with a choked throat wrote on the Blackboard Vive La France!, i.e. Long Live France and dismissed the class.
“Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime.”

Section – II

Answer any TWO of the following in utmost 10 lines. [2 x 5 = 10]

Question  33.
Give summary of the poem, ‘The Grumble Family’.
Answer:
There is a family that no one ever wants to meet on Complaining Street in ‘Never-are- Satisfied’ city where River Discontent also runs. They growl at everything and hence something goes wrong. Even if their station is high or humble, they are known by the name of Grumble. The weather is always at extreme conditions and they scold at each other at both seasons. Everything is topsy-turvey with people who live on the gloomy Complaining street.

Even when they are satisfied with everything, there isn’t a doubt that they would growl about not having anything to grumble about. The strangest thing is not a single person in the Grumble family can accept the family name because no Grumbler will accept that he is a grumbler nor associated with such qualities. They are so contagious that anyone who says with them for a bit too long become a grumbler himself. Hence, it is wise to keep our feet away from Complaining Street.

Therefore, let us learn to walk with a smile on our lips and a song in our mouth even when things go against our desires. One should never belong to the family of Grumble, even if the status changes drastically.
“Be grateful and you won’t grumble.
Grumble and you won’t be grateful.”

Question  34.
‘Some crickets have four legs and some have two’. Elucidate this statement from the poet’s point of view.
Answer:
The poet is comparing the lazy crickets to the two-legged creatures – the human beings. The poetic device Metaphor is perfectly used to fit into the situation. Everyone knows that crickets have four legs. But he says some have two to compare the silly cricket to the two¬legged human-beings who sometimes are as lazy and silly as the cricket in this poem.

The poet wants to suggest that this story is not entirely a fable; rather, it is related to the real world. Surely, some people are as careless and lazy as the cricket is. Likewise, some humans like the cricket also don’t plan out for the future or for the bad times. They just enjoy the present moment. The poet is thus calling such people as mindless as the cricket.
“God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.”

It just sits there, never getting small or ever growing tall,
How could this be?
Answer:
Next to the house, is a tree. The tree too is mysterious like thee house since it has no leaves in any of the seasons. The tree is barren during winter, spring, summer and autumn. The poetess says that the tree just stays there and never grows tall nor becomes short. She wonders how a tree could survive without any leaves or without any growth.

Question 42.
Write an article in about 150 -200 words on ‘Disaster Management’.
Answer:
Disaster Management
Our country is prone to disasters like floods, drought, cyclones, or earthquakes. We do not . have any clear-cut policy of disaster management nor any force to tackle the situation. Adhoc measures are adopted to cope with every disaster. We wait and watch for others to join the fray. There are heated arguments over jurisdiction—centre or state liability, official assessment and surveys before any help is rushed out to the affected area.

The slow response results in the loss of precious human life and valuable property. We must have clear-cut, well defined guidelines for disaster management. A well-trained task-force having special equipment and trained personnel should be constituted. Its controlling officer should have the authority to  take decisions and ensure their speedy implementation.

Better transport and communication facilities will ensure better results. Bureaucratic set-up should not be allowed to interfere with the work of the disaster-management group.

Question 43.

One fine day when Tom was already groping in fear that the iron box may explode with careless handling by someone, found between the leaves of his uncle’s Bible, a numbered list of the stones with their cost. It was dated two years before his uncle’s death. Many of the stones were well known, and their enormous value was also mentioned. Several of the rubies were described with care and curious histories of them were given in detail.

One was said to be the famous “Sunset ruby,” which had belonged to the Empress-Queen Maria Theresa. One was called the “Blood ruby,” not because of the colour but on account of the murders it had occasioned. The pearls were described with care as an unequalled collection. Concerning two of them, they seemed to have done much evil and some good. One, a black pearl, was mentioned in an old bill of sale which seemed queer.

Mother India
Is there aught you need that my hands withhold.
Rich gifts of raiment or grain of gold?
Lo! I have clung to the East and West Priceless treasures tore from my breast.
And yielded the sons of my stricken womb To the drum – beats of duty, the sabres of doom.
Gathered like pearls in their alien graves Silent they sleep by the Persian waves,
Scattered like shells on Egyptian sands.
They lie with pale brows and brave, broken hands They are strewn like blossoms mown down by chance On the blood-brown meadows of Flanders and France.
Can ye measure the grief of the tears I weep Or compass the woe of the watch I keep?
Or the pride that trills thro’ my heart’s despair And the hope that comforts the anguish of prayer?
And the far and glorious vision I see Of the torn red banners of victory?
When the terror and tumult of hate shall cease And life be refashioned on anvils of peace,
And your love shall offer memorial thanks
To the comrades who fought in your dauntless ranks,
And your honour the deeds of the deathless ones,
Remember the blood of my martyred sons!

Answer any seven questions (Q.No: 32 is compulsory) [7 × 4 = 28]

Question 23.
State the universal law of gravitation and derive its Mathematical expression.
Answer:

This law states that every particle of matter in this universe attracts every other particle with a force. This force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centres of there masses. The direction of the force acts along the line joining the masses.

Force between the masses is always attractive and it does not depend on the medium where they are placed. Let m₁ and m₂ be the masses of two bodies A and B placed r metre apart in space

Force, F ∝ m₁ × m₂, F ∝ \(\frac{1}{r^{2}}\)
On combining the above two expressions,
F ∝ \(\frac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}\)
F = \(\frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}\)
Where G is the universal gravitational constant. Its value in SI unit is 6.674 × 10^-11 N m² kg^-2.

Question 24.

• Light does not need any medium for its propagation. It can even travel through vacuum.
• The speed of light in vacuum or air is C = 3 x 10⁸ ms^-1
• Different coloured light has different wavelength and frequency.

(ii) State Rayleigh’s law of scattering.
Answer:
Rayleigh’s scattering law states that “The amount of scattering of light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength”.
Amount of scattering S ∝ \(\frac{1}{\lambda^{4}}\)

Question 25.
(i) A torch bulb is rated at 3V and 600 mA. calculate it’s (a) power (b) resistance (c) energy consumed if it is used for 4 hours.
Answer:
Given
V = 3V
I = 600 mA = 600 × 10^-3 A
(a) Power (P) = VI = 3 × 600 × 10^-3 = 1800 × 10^-3
P= 1.8 W (or) watt.

(b) Resistance (R) = \(\frac{V}{I}\)

R = 5 Ω

(c) Power (P) = 1.8 W and t = 4 hours
= 4 × 60 × 60 = 14400 second.
Energy consumed (E) = P × t
= 1.8 × 14400 = 25920 joules
E = 25.9 Wh

(ii) Why does sound travel faster on a rainy day than on a dry day?
Answer:
When humidity increases the speed of sound increases. That is why we can hear sound from long distances clearly during rainy season.

• An atom is no longer indivisible.
• Atoms of the same element may have different atomic masses.
• Atoms of different elements may have same atomic masses.
• Atoms of one element can be transmuted into atom of other elements. In other words, atom is no longer indestructible.
• Atoms may not always combine in a simple whole number ratio.
• Atom is the smallest particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.
• The mass of an atom can be converted into energy E = mc².

Question 27.
How is Aluminium extracted from Bauxite?
Answer:
Bauxite is the chief ore of aluminium. The extraction of aluminium from bauxite involves two steps:
(1) Conversion of bauxite into alumina – Baeyer’s process.
The conversion of Bauxite into Alumina involves the following steps:
Bauxite ore is finely ground and heated under pressure with a solution of concentrated caustic soda at 150° C to obtain sodium meta aluminate.

On diluting sodium meta aluminate with water, a precipitate of aluminium hydroxide is formed. The precipitate is filtered, washed, dried and ignited at 1000°C to get alumina.

(2) Electrolytic reduction of alumina – Hall’s process.
Aluminium is produced by the electrolytic reduction of fused alumina (Al₂O₃) in the electrolytic cell.
Cathode: Iron tank linked with graphite
Anode: A bunch of graphite rods suspended in molten electrolyte.
Electrolyte:

Pure alumina + molten cryolite + fluorspar

Temperature: 900 – 950° C
Voltage used: 5 – 6 V
Overall reaction:
2 Al₂O₃ → 4 Al + 3 O₂ ↑

Question 28.
What are the structures involved in the protection of brain?
Answer:
The brain, controlling centre of all the body activities is covered by three connective tissue membrane (or) meninges.

• Duramater – is the outermost thick fibrous membrane.
• Arachnoid membrane – is the middle thin vascular membrane providing web-like cushion.
• Piamater – is the innermost thin delicate membrane richly supplied with blood. Meningeal membranes protect the brain from mechanical injury.

Question 29.
(a) Why did Mendel select pea plant for his experiment?
Answer:

• The pea plant is self pollinating and so it is very easy to raise pure breeding individuals.
• It has a short life span.
• It is easy to cross pollinate.
• It has deeply defined contrasting characters.
• The flowers are bisexual.

(b) What is the importance of valves in the heart?
Answer:
The valves are the muscular flaps, that regulate the flow of blood in a single direction and prevent backward flow of blood.

Question 30.
Differentiate the following:
(i) Light dependent reaction and Light independent reaction
Answer:
Light dependent reaction:

• It is called Hill reaction or Light reaction.
• The reaction is earned out in Thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
• It is carried out in the presence of light.
• Photosynthetic pigments absorb the light energy and convert it into chemical energy ATP and NADPH₂.

Light independent reaction:

• It is called Dark reaction or Biosynthetic pathway or Calvin cycle.
• This reaction is carried out in the stroma of the chloroplast.
• It is carried out in the absence of light.
• CO₂ is reduced into carbohydrates with the help of light generated ATP and NADPH₂.

(ii) Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration
Answer:
Aerobic:

• Occur in the presence of oxygen.
• Carbon dioxide, water and ATP are produced.

Anaerobic:

• Occur in the absence of oxygen.
• Lactic acid, Ethanol and ATP are produced.

Question 31.
(a) What is metastasis?
Answer:
The cancerous cells migrate to distant parts of the body and affect new tissues and this process is called Metastasis.

(b) What are the effects of hybrid vigour in animals?
Answer:
The superiority of the hybrid, obtained by cross breeding is called heterosis or hybrid vigour.
Effects of hybrid vigour:

• Increased production of milk by cattles.
• Increased production of egg by poultry.
• High quality of milk is produced.

When the pressure of gas is kept constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
(i.e.,) V ∝ T .
\(\frac{V}{T}\) = constant

(ii) Derive the ideal gas equation.
Answer:
The ideal gas equation is an equation, which relates all the properties of an ideal gas. An ideal gas obeys Boyle’s law, Charles’ law and Avagadro’s law,
According to Boyle’s law
PV = constant ……… (1)
According to Charles’s law,
\(\frac{V}{T}\) = constant …….(2)
According to Avagadro’s law,
\(\frac{V}{n}\) = constant ……(3)
After combining equations (1), (2) and (3)
\(\frac{P V}{n T}\) = constant ……..(4)

The above relation is called combined law of gases. If you consider a gas, which contains μ moles of the gas, the number of atoms contained will be equal to (i times the Avagadro’s number, NA
(i.e.,) n = μ N_A
using equation (5) equation (4) can be written as
PV / μ N_A T = constant

The value of the constant in the above equation is taken to be k_B, which is called as Boltzmann constant (1.38 × 10^-23 J K^-1). Hence, we have the following equation,
PV / μ N_A T = kB
PV = μ N_A k_B T
Here μ N_A k_B = R, which is termed as universal gas constant whose value is 8.31 Jmol^-1_1K^-1
PV = RT
Ideal gas equation is also called as equation of state because it gives the relation between the state variables and it is used to describe the state of any gas.

(b) How is ethanol manufactured from sugar-cane?
Answer:
Molasses is a dark coloured syrupy liquid left after the crystallization of sugar from the concentrated sugarcane juice. It contains 30 % of Sucrose, which cannot be separated by crystallization.

(i) Dilution of Molasses:
Molasses is first diluted with water,to bring down the concentration of sugar to about 8 to 10 percent.

(ii) Addition of Nitrogen Source:
Molasses contains enough nitrogenous matter to act as food for yeast during the fermentation process. If the nitrogenous matter is poor, ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate is added.

(iii) Addition of yeast:
This solution kept in large fermentation tank and yeast is added to it kept at about 303K for a few days. During this period, the enzymes invertase and Zymase present in yeast, convert sucrose into ethanol.

The fermented liquid is technically called wash.

(iv) Distillation of wash:
This wash containing 15 to 18% alcohol, is now subjected to fractional distillation. The main fraction drawn is an aqueous solution of ethanol which contains 95.5% of ethanol and 4.5% of water. This is called rectified spirit. This mixture is then refluxed over quicklime for about 5 to 6 hour and then allowed to stand for 12 hours. On distillation of mixture pure alcohol (100%) is obtained. This is called absolute alcohol.

Question 35.

[OR]

(b) (i) How does locomotion take place in leech?
Answer:
Locomotion in leech takes place by:

• Looping or crawling movement: Crawling movement is brought about by the contraction and relaxation of muscles. The two suckers serve for attachment during movement.
• Swimming movement: Leeches swim very actively and perform undulating movement in water.

(ii) How does Fossilization occur in plants?
Answer:
Fossilization in plants: The process of formation of fossil in the rocks is called fossilization.
The common methods of fossilization includes:

1. Petrifiction: Minerals like silica slowly penetrate in and replace the original organic tissue. This method can preserve hard and soft parts, (e.g.) wood fossils.

2. Mold and Cast: A replica of a plant or animal is preserved in sedimentary rocks. When the organism get buried in sediment it is dissolved by underground water leaving a hollow depression called Mold. It shows only the original shape and not the internal structure. Minerals or sediments fill the hollow depression and forms a cast.

3. Preservation: The entire plant may be preserved to protect from the organism from decay. Ice or amber (tree sap) can be used for preservation.

4. Compression: When the organism dies, the hard parts settle at the bottom of the sea bed and are covered by sediment. The process goes on continuously and the fossils are formed.

5. Infiltration: The precipitation of minerals takes place which later on infiltrate the cell wall. The process is brought about by several mineral element such as silica, calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
