SECTION A - READING 20 Marks
1.Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow – The cactus is a plant which grows in very hot, dry places. They do not have leaves. Instead, they Have spiny needles which stick out of their stems. There are many shapes of the cactus. Some are small and round. Others are tall like columns or pillars. Some are shaped like tubes or bells. Some are shaped like wheels. Some grow as trees or shrubs. Others grow as ground cover. Cactus flowers are big, and some of them bloom at night. Their flowers come out at night because they are pollinated by insects or small animals that come out at night. Insects and small animals carry pollen from one cactus to another. Most cacti live in North and South America. Others live in Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. Cacti do not have very large leaves because large leaves would allow the water to evaporate. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas. When it becomes a gas, it is light enough to move through the air. That would be bad for the cactus because the cactus needs the water to live. Some cacti have waxy coatings on their stems, so that water will run down the stem to the roots. Cacti can absorb water from fog in the air since it does not rain very much in the desert. Most cacti have long roots which can spread out close to the surface so they can absorb a lot of water on the occasions when it rains.

being the Emergency between 1975 to 1977.

our lives.
Answer: The following are the important issues that the media has failed to focus on:
Unsafe drinking water: Every year thousands of people die due to illness
caused by contaminated water. But media seldom discusses this issue.
Slum demolition: There have been instances where the media chooses one
issue over the other when they are happening simultaneously. There has been

ignoring the slum demolition that was going on in Mumbai in that week.

also a social advertisement.
Answer: Though branding, at the outset differentiates the products from non-branded
ones; it is not enough. This is because there are a number of brands available in the

role of advertising comes in. Advertising helps in
Differentiating the product from that of the competitors.

Answer: Advertisements have a significant place in our social and cultural life. We
discuss the advertisements we watch/hear or read and also tend to judge people based
on the brand products they use. Social values and personal emotions are used so that
people are easily convinced to buy the product. Such strategies work well in a culturally
rich nation like ours.

Answer: 8. Slash and burn agriculture is a way of cultivating land in which
farmers cultivate a piece of land by slashing/cutting the trees and bushes.
These are then burnt, which releases the nutrients in the soil. New crops
are grown in this cleared field for a few years. Since the fertility of the land
is lost after a few years of cultivation, the used land is abandoned and a
new set of land is cleared for cultivation. In the mean time young trees
grow in the old field. In this way soil fertility is restored. People can then
return to the old land and start cultivating it again.
