He settled across the frontier just quarter of an hour away by rail, and started market-gardening and lived comfortably there after.
Question 15.
How should parents raise their children according to the speaker of ‘On Children’?
Answer:
The speaker in the poem ‘On Children’ speaks and advises parents not to be possessive in shaping their children’s goals. The prophet tells that children are sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself. They come through parents but God is the original creator of children and parents are merely actors who act on the wish of God. He says that though the children live with parents, they do not belong to them. The prophet says parents can give their love, not thoughts. He clearly states that parents can only shelter their body, not their soul. The generation gap is universal and life
never goes back to the past but moves forward into the future. Prophet draws metaphor of ‘Bows and Arrows’ to compare parents to bows, children to arrows and God as the Archer. The parents must bend for the happiness of their children, only then arrows fly fast which means children will be able to achieve their goals. The prophet advises parents to allow children to grow freely and live according to their wish as the archer loves the bow that is stable.
Question 16.
What account does Don Gonzalo give Dona Laura about his cousin’s life after the duel?

When Laura accuses that Gonzalo’s cousin had deserted Laura, Gonzalo tries to explain his cousin’s actions. As per him, on that fateful night after badly wounding the merchant in a duel, fearing arrest, his cousin first took shelter at Gonzalo’s place. Later he went to Seville and then to Madrid. Fie wrote many letters to Laura, same even in verse.
Perhaps, they were intercepted by Laura’s parents and she never received any, and consequently never replied to his cousin. Heart broken. his cousin had joined the army and in Africa, in a trench had met a glorious death with Spain’s flag in hand whispering Laura’s name.
Question 17.
Give an account of the strategies used by Tammanna to destroy Basavaiah.
Answer:
At the height of their enmity, Basavaiah forcibly acquired to hundred acres of Tammanna’s land and fenced them off.Tammanna could not take that lying down. Tammanna’s advisors suggested to him about the various means available for getting back his land. These varied between taking recourse to police, moving the court of law, or plain violence taking law into their hands and attacking Basavaiah openly.
All the above may lead to prolonged enmity with no end in sight. Tammanna was in search of some unique way to end the enmity as well as to annihilate Basavaiah completely. He hit upon the idea of composing his experiences and Basavaiah’s bad behaviour in ballad form and singing them. He was quite good at that and his fame spread. Basavaiah failed in trying to emulate him.
Tammanna was felicitated as the best poet and Basavaiah could only watch in mute anger and humiliation. The rivalry had moved to an invisible abstract domain, where Basavaiah had no answer to Tammanna’s approach.
Question 18.
Why according to Borges will books never disappear?
Answer:
During the course of his interview by Roberto Alifano, Borges touches upon the significance of books in a person’s life. lebel leves that books will never disappear from the face of the earth. Among the many inventions of man, the book is the most as tounding one. Other major inventions are extensions of our bodies, whereas books are the extensions of man’s imagination and memory.
In some memorable passage, he refers to literature as a controlled dream. He likes dreaming with remembering the past, which is nothing but a sequence of dreams. Books he feels are the great memory of all centuries. Their function is irreplaceable. He concludes in an ominous note that if books were to disappear, history would disappear and surely man would also disappear forever.
Question 19.
How according to the speaker does one find heaven on earth in ‘Heaven, If You Are Not On Earth?
Answer:
‘Heaven, If You Are Not Here On Earth’ was penned originally in Kannada, by the noted Kannada poet Kuvempu. He wonders that the much revered heaven, if not on earth, where else could be found? If the humans themselves by their thoughts qualities and deeds cannot become Gods and nymphs, who else can be the gods and nymphs, he questions in uncertainty. One can attain divinity and inner beauty by one’s actions and the wherever they are, that place truly becomes heaven.
Kuvempu describes nature in graphic detail and paints a beautiful picture with his words. The streams with a big roar rush along, making surf at the edges of waves when merging with the sea. The gentle sun tenderly spreads the sunshine over the verdant greenery and plants, enveloping them lovingly as if caressing with his soft touch. When we chance upon the fields with their bumper yields under the moonlight, we also see the happy and lovely faces of the farmers.
These sights make earth nothing but heaven. The poet takes in all these wonderful sights, assimilates their beauty. and in his colorful narrative, gives the essence of it all in words that others can read and visualize the heaven on earth.
Question 20.
According to George Mikes, the people of Brazil are both leisurely and speed-loving. Explain.
Answer:
Mikes says that nobody hurries in Brazil. Reaching a destination an hour early a day late or not at all does not matter. The grey pavements are decorated with beautiful black mosaics, as people have plenty of time. The author comments that these leisurely people love speed. They drive recklessly and over speed and sometimes accelerate, when they see pedestrians. Pedestrians life in Brazil is becoming more hazardous everyday. Drivers are on the look out for pedestrians.
When a driver notices a pedestrian step off the pavement, he regards him as a fair game, takes aim and accelerates. The pedestrian jumps, leaps and runs for his life. The driver and pedestrian are like hunter and prey. Every tenth of a second is a matter of importance and drivers cut in and overtake on both sides. Thus, the people of Brazil are both leisurely and speed loving.
Question 21.
‘Roof is a clever manipulator.’ Justify.
Answer:
Roof was a popular figure in his village Umuofia. He was in the service of the Minister of Culture, Chief Honourable Marcus Ibe. He was an expert in election campaigning and could sense the mood of the electorate. Roof successfully conducted whispering campaigns. He had to shell out more than the two shillings each he had initially offered the village elders. The POP candidate Maduka offered five pounds to Roof to cast his vote to the POP on the night prior to the election.
Roof was made to swear on Iyi to put in his papers to POP, on otherwise the Iyi would take note. On the election day, Roof was caught in a fix. He could not deceive Marcus, he thought of returning back the five pounds. But the sight of five pounds mesmerised Roof. Roof suddenly had an idea. He tore the ballot paper into two and ensured to put one half for Maduka first with a verbal announcement and the other for Marcus. Roof was thus able to absolve himself of his guilt.
Question 22.

III. Answer the following in about 200 words: 1 x 6 = 6
Question 23.
“Conservation of Biodiversity sustains both nature and culture”. Discuss in the light of Vandana Shiva’s essay.
Answer:
Biodiversity encourages co-creation with nature. It is based on democratic principles as it ensures equal rights to all creatures. Bio-diversity believes in abundance and freedom, cooperation and mutual giving. It brings about living economies. Monoculture not only affects nature but also life and its values. Diverse thought process ceases and life loses vitality and colour and aesthetic sensibility. Life turns dull and monotonous.
Vandana Shiva learned about bio-diversity in the Himalayan forests, and transferred those lessons learnt to the protection of biodiversity on their farms. She started saving seeds from farmer’s fields and then realized they needed a farm for demonstration and training. She started the seed bank. ‘Navadanya Farm’ was started in 1994 in the Doon Valley located in the lower elevations of the Himalayan region of Uttarkhand. She conserved and grew 630 varieties of rice, 150 varieties of wheat and hundreds of other species, Biodiversity helps to produce more food and nutrition per acre and reduces malnutrition and improves human health.

How does the speaker of ‘Water’ trace the journey of water using it as a witness?
Answer:
The poem ‘Water’ very effectively describes the pains and problems of Dalits. The upper caste people did not allow dalits to draw water from the wells. The poetess makes us feel the pain of humiliation the ‘ dalits undergo just for a pot of water. The poet says that only “Water” understands and no other human being understands their feelings. The edge of a well where women draw water never dries and in the same way untouchability will never be removed as even today it is practised in many areas. Water also knows the discrimination between upper and lower castes, likewise Negroes and whites.
It also knows the difference between a Samarian woman and Jesus Christ. Water also knows the minute differences between a cobbler and a tailor. Water also knows the agony of the panchama, who is not having the right to draw a pot of water, waits all day near the well with his empty pot until a shudra arrives. Water is the witness of all exploits made on Dalits.
An untouchable has to wait to draw water from a well until an upper caste person will pour her water from a distance but will fall all over her in his lust. The water is personified and recalls the incident when a dalit woman named Suvarthamma from the village of Karamchedu who came to draw water from the tank, saw that the upper caste boys were washing dirty buckets they had used to feed their buffaloes directly in the drinking water tank.
When a dalit boy asked them to stop washing the buckets, they beat up the dalit boy. Suvarthamma protected the dalit boy from the upper caste boys by lifting her pot. This resulted in a big quarrel between the Kammas and Dalits. Water has witnessed all these quarrels till now. The poet remembers the time she spent at the wada for a glass of water throughout the day. She tells that water is a movement and not the chemical formula H2O.
She also remembers the Mahad struggle at Chadar tank which became a symbol of bloodshed for a drop of water. Because of lack of water people of wada used to take bath only once a week. The poet remembers how she had gone to fetch water from a distant irrigation canal in her childhood and how her veins were bursting while carrying the pots on her head. She also remember the Mallepalle village incident when the village caught fire and was burnt, as there was no pot of water to extinguish the fire.
Water which has the capacity to give life or destroy it, had destroyed many villages in Coastal Andhra and Tamil Nadu in the form of Tsunami in the year 2001. She also reminds us how water creates struggle between states. Water can ignite struggles and strikes letting blood flow and can sit innocently as if nothing has happened inside a bisleri bottle as mineral water.
Finally, the poet concludes that the water for which many lives were lost, many wars were fought has now become an international commodity. With water, every person lives. It is the elixir of life but then everybody is destroyed when struggles are happening for want of water. This is ironically questioned by the poet.

‘Man goes on living for some revenge.’ To what extent is this true in case of Basavaiah and Tammanna in ‘The Gardener’?
Answer:
In a far-off place, once there was a man called Tammanna. He had everything, ten acres of wet land, a comfortable house and people ready to do his bidding. The most important among all his possessions was his rival Basavaiah.
If Tammanna bought four more acres adjacent to his land, Basavaiah also followed suit. If one had ten friends, the other acquired fifteen admirers. To begin with, it was a healthy competition. Gradually it rose to such a pitch that there was no land left in the village for them to buy. All land belonged to either Tammanna or Basavaiah. Tammanna had one thousand acres and Basavaiah owned eight hundred. Basavaiah could not tolerate this. He sent word to Tammanna asking him to sell two hundred acres. Tammanna did not agree. He was prepared to buy all the land that belonged to Basavaiah. Basavaiah was mad with rage. He went along with his people and acquired two hundred acres of Tammanna’s land forcibly. A fence was built around that land. Tammanna could not tolerate this invasion.
The quarrel between these two had sucked in all their supporters, who advised Tammanna about the various means available for getting back his land. Tammanna was in search of a method that could annihilate Basavaiah completely. He hit upon the idea of composing all his experiences in the form of ballads and singing them. Basavaiah had no answer to this. Tammanna performed his agricultural tasks more diligently. His reputation started spreading all around. His songs started making a mention of Basavaiah’s cruelty and meanness. Scholars of folklore were after him. Tammanna was felicitated as the best poet of his times. The rivalry between Basavaiah and Tammanna started moving away from things that were visible, towards an invisible, abstract domain.
One day Tammanna was ill. Tammanna thought of yet another method of punishing Basavaiah. He thought his death alone could destroy Basavaiah.Man needs wealth, education and fame, yet he goes on living for some revenge. Tammanna gave up everything and went away. In a few days, Basavaiah passed away. He had no more reason to live. Thus human relationships rely on strange things like revenge, rivalry and challenge.

The following line graph provides information about the growth of population in India over a period of 50 years. Using the information, write a report in about 120 words.
The above line graph gives information and highlights the growth of population in India over a period of 50 years from 1961 to 2011. From 1961 to 1991 the chart clearly shows a gradual increase of population. But after 2001, till 2011 it shows a stable rate. The population increased from 390 millions in 1961 to 1000 million in 1991. This period saw eradication of infant mortality to a great extent because of the developments in the medical field and healthcare. There were also major breakthroughs in the treatment of TB,cancer and heart problems leading to longer life spans. So it is clear that population growth was tremendous from 1961 to 1991 and it was stabilized from 2001 to 2011 due to education and awareness among individuals about small family norms.
