He was definitely a little Jamaican — a strong little Jamaican. The other little fellow was smaller, but also sturdy — he was white, with hazel eyes and light-brown hair. Both were dressed in blue shirts and khaki pants. They wore no shoes and their feet were muddy. They were not conscious of mv standing there, watching them; they played on. The game, if it could be called a game, was not elaborate. The little white boy strode imperiously up and down, and every now and then shouted imperiously at his bigger playmate.

Answers

                                                           Part – A

1. ‘I call it my chicken drumstick/ joked Nick. What does ‘it’ refer to? How does it help him?
A. ‘It’ refers to the small foot on Nick’s left hip, which looks like a chicken drumstick. Nick feels that he would do nothing if he doesn’t have that small foot. It helps him j balance and enables him to kick. It helps him as a propeller while swimming and moving. He uses his small foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up be­tween his toes.

2. Why does Mrs. Slater decide to shift the bureau from her father’s room before the arrival of the Jordans? How does Henry react to the suggestion?
 A. Mrs. Slater is a greedy woman. She wants to steal the bureau of her father. The bureau is a fine piece of furniture. She wants to take the bureau into her posses­Sion. She is sure that the Jordans have no idea about the bureau as they have made their last visit before the bureau is bought. She doesn’t want her sister to have ashare of the bureau which she has always been longing for. She decides to shift the bureau from her father’s from before the arrival of the Jordans because she thinks that Mrs. Jordan will take that bureau as her share of her father’s property.
Henry wonders at the idea of Mrs. Slater and says that he cannot help to carry it as the bureau is strong and heavy. And he doubts whether the Jordans will come ^;        while he and his wife are shifting the bureau from the old man’s room. He suggests here to settle the matter with Elizabeth.

3. What does thephrase ‘opposite directions’ in the last sentence,suggest ? 
A. When the bus started moving, the author saw his father gradually receding into , the distance. The author felt that their journeys started in two opposite directions,
with him seated in the luxurious seat of a bus and father walking back-with tired legs on the pebble-strewn road. The phrase‘opposite directions’suggests that both  their directions were different. In the other sense, the writer’s way was a luxuri­ous one as he was an educated one and a government officer. He didn’t need to lead such a hard and laborious life like his father used to lead.

4. What did Ray’s detractors accuse him of ? Did Roberge agree to their accusation? If not, why ?
A.  Ray’s detractors accused Ray that he made reputation selling India’s poverty to . the West. Roberge does not agree with this. He feels that there is enormous spiri­tual poverty of some rich people which is much more deplorable than the material poverty depicted in the films.

5. Why did Bayaji return home?
A. Bayaji, a Dalit, left his native village to work as a labourer in the dockyard of Bombay. After reaching the age of sixty he retired and returned home hoping to settle into his ancestral village. He had imbibed many new ideas through his three decades and a half sojourn in the metropolitan city of Bombay. And he was also keen to demonstrate to his village community that he had done well, and was successful. He wanted to use his life savings to build a house.

6. How are people’s basic needs connected with the environment?
A. The basic needs of people are clean drinking water, food, firewood, timber and fodder for animals. All these come from land. As we know, land is connected with environment.

7. “Your children are not your children What does it mean? Do you agree with the statement or disagree ? Give reasons.
A. These words were spoken by Kalam’s father, Jainulabdeen in the context of his wife’s hesitation to send Kalam to Ramanathapuram. He told his wife the expres­sion “Your children are not your children” means as children are growing they have their own ideas. I agree with the idea of Kalam’s father because children have every right to form their own thoughts and ideas. The environment in society ‘ helps children to develop an individual attitude. Parents should take it easy.

8. If the writer had seen the second day’s game on the first day, what would he have thought about it ?
A. The narrator’s general conviction was that in his country’ Jamaica, all the people – blacks and whites, live in harmony and they do not distinguish each other with their colour and creed. Hence, if the narrator had seen the second day’s game on the first day, he would have realised it as a game and would not have excited over it.

He failed once again in business at the age of 24. He overcame the death of his sweetheart at the age of 26. He had a nervous breakdown at the age of 27. He lost a congressional race at the age of 34 and a senatorial race at the age of 49. But he did not stop contesting in elections.

2. What is your opinion on the conditions of urban poor people?
A. Due to urbanisation, the people of surrounding villages are reaching the towns and cities. Many of them are working in unorganised sector. As they are economically backward, they are settling in slum areas.
Usually they are occupying government unorganised (porambok) areas for their residences. Govt, also building colonies for them.

6. State why the organized sector is better than the unorganized sector.
A. Organised sector is better than unorganised sector. The reasons are :
Organised sector covers those enterprises or places of work where the terms of employment are regular and therefore, people have assured work. They are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and regulations which are given in various laws such as the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, Shops and Establish­ments Act etc. It is called organised because it has some formal processes and procedures. Workers in the organised sector enjoy security of employment. They are expected to work only for a fixed number of hours. If they work more, they have to be paid overtime by the employer. They also get several other benefits from the employers. They get paid leave, payment during holidays, provident fund, etc. They are supposed to get medical benefits and, under the laws, the employer has to ensure facilities like drinking water and a safe working environment. When they retire, many of these workers get pensions as well. People who work in the government or with companies or large establishments are all in the organised sector.

SECTION – III

GROUP-A
15. What is the geographical impact of the Himalayas in influencing the Indian climate?
A. The geographical impact of the Himalayas in influencing the Indian climate:
The formation of the Himalayas influences the climate in various ways. These act as barriers protecting the great plains of India from the cold winds of central Asia during severe winter. The Himalayas are reason for summer rains and monsoon type of climate in regions that are beyond the western ghats of India. In its absence this region would have remained drier. The Himalayan Rivers have a perennial flow since these are fed by the glaciers and bring a lot of silt, making these plains very fertile.

16. “The Indian agriculture depends completely on the monsoon.” Describe the cycle of the monsoon patterns.
A. The climate of India is strongly influenced by the monsoon winds. The sailors who came to India during olden days noticed the regular periodic reversal of winds. They used these winds to sail towards the Indian coast. Arab traders named this seasonal reversal of wind system ‘monsoon’.
1) The monsoon forms in the tropical area approximately between 20°N and 20°S latitudes.
2) The heating of land creates low pressure on the Iandmass of Indian subcontinent.
3) Southwest monsoon ‘on set’ reaches Kerala and gives rain to western ghats and northeast India except in coramandal coast.
4) It is operated in two branches, Arabian sea branch and Bay of Bengal branch.
5) Retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature.
6) Lower pressure conditions move to Bay of Bengal by early November.
7) Bulk of the rainfall of the coramandal coast is derived from depressions and cyclones.

17. (A) From Which year did the population increase continuously?

A. The population growth is less in the decade 1911-21.
(D) For how many years is the census being taken in India?
A. The census is being taken in India for ten years once.

18. In which place has the water level gone down in your area? What are the reasons for the reduction of water levels according to your opinion?
A. The water level gone down in many of our areas. The groundwater is useful for both domestic purpose and for agriculture. If groundwater is not available there will be many problems. .
My opinion is that because of modernization of agriculture motor pumps of high horsepower are being used. Very deep bore wells cause for drawing out water from the ground. Water has become a source of business many Multinational companies draw water and sell in the form of bottles. Water conservation is also a major issue and it is taken as a serious one.

GROUP -B
19. What is the influence of globalization on the Indian economic system? What are the advantages of extending globalization to India? Express your opinion.
A. Globalisation has been of advantage to consumers, particularly the well-off sections in the urban areas. There is greater choice before these consumers who now enjoy improved quality and lower prices for several products. As a result, these people today enjoy much higher standards of living than was possible earlier. Among producers and workers, the impact of globalisation has not been uniform
Firstly, MNCs have increased their investments in India, which means investing in India has been beneficial for them. MNCs have been interested in industries such as cell phones, automobiles, electronics, soft drinks, fast food or services such as banking in urban areas. These products have a large number of well-off buyers. In these industries and services, new jobs have been created. Also, local companies supplying raw materials, etc., to these industries have prospered.
Secondly, several of the top Indian companies have been able to benefit from the increased competition. They have invested in newer technology and production methods and raised their production standards. Some have gained from successful collaborations with foreign companies.
Moreover, globalisation has enabled some large Indian companies to emerge as multinationals themselves!
Globalisation has also created new opportunities for companies providing services, particularly those involving IT. The Indian company producing a magazine for the London based company and call centres are some examples. Besides, a host of ser­vices such as data entry, accounting, administrative tasks, engineering are now being done cheaply in countries such as India and are exported to the developed countries.

20. How does the lifestyle of people influence the environment? What are your suggestions to protect the environment?
A. There is a strong bondage between the life style of human kingdom and environment’. Environment fulfills many of our needs. The people of a region lives according to their environment. Their traditions, cultures, festivals etc., are based on their environment.
My Suggestions :
1. Natural resources should be used limitedly.
2. Forest should not be cut down. We should take care of them.
3. Industrial wastes should be recycled.
4. The establishment of industries which release more pollution should be restricted.
5. People should be enriched with the knowledge of environment.

21. Do you think that the public distribution system managed by the government is providing proper food security? Express your opinion in an elaborate manner.
A. Fair price shops are most important means of foodgrains in India. Government is supplying foodgrains at low prices to the needy people.
The Indian government came out with a new law in 2013 called the National Food Security Act to legalise peoples’ Right to Food. It applies to approximately 2/ 3rd of the population of India. As per this law, every person of low income families is entitled to 5 kilograms of foodgrains per month at subsidised rates. Among poor families, the poorest ones are entitled to 35 kilograms of foodgrains. For a few years, the central government will supply rice, wheat and millets for Rs.3, Rs.2 and Rs.l respectively Under this law, if required, a maximum of 75 per cent of people living in rural areas and 50 per cent of urban population have the right to buy foodgrains from public distribution system. If the government is not able to arrange foodgrains, it will give cash for the people to buy foodgrains. This law also envisages providing free cooked meals for pregnant women, lactating mothers, children aged 1- 6 coming to anganwadis and mid-day meals for children aged 6-14 in schools.
Thus governments are distributing foodgrains to people through different programmes.

22. (A) Which kind of houses are more in Rampur Village?
A. Huts and thatched houses are more in Rampur village.
