Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow

Prafulla Chandra Ray was born on 2 August 1861 in the district of Jessore, now in

Bangladesh, close to the birth place of Madhusudan Dutt, widely regarded as the Milton of Bengal. It was the best of times and the worst… The British had by now perfected their role

as masters and British values permeated the Indian upper classes to the very last 3 detail like table manners. That of course, was not the worst of the British influence. What was far more

demeaning to the educated Indians – and there were several – was the fact that senior government positions were closed to them. Being forfeited of one’s right in one’s land of

birth would become the rallying point for the Indian intelligentsia in the years to come. Ray’s father Harish Chandra Ray, a man of learning and taste, was closely associated with the

cultural and intellectual leaders of the time and exerted great influence on his son. Ray had

his early schooling in the village school founded by his father but soon his father shifted to

Calcutta and at the age of nine, little Prafulla set eyes for the first time, on the bustling city

that would be his home for many years to come. He was filled with wonder at the ever-

changing sights and sounds – the city seemed to change moods ever so often! His formal

schooling was interrupted due to illness but that did not affect his education.

A. The British perfected their role as masters because ______________________

B. The educated Indians felt insulted by the fact that ________________________

C. Prafulla Chandra Ray was greatly influenced by _________________________

D. Prafulla Chandra’s illness could not stop his ____________________________

READING

Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow

Flowers are the smiles of the earth. They fill the earth with rainbow colours and suffuse it

with enchanting odours. The earth attains paradisal beauty and charm when they blossom.

They have been a source of perennial joy to man since times immemorial. A sight of flower

alters our mood and uplifts our spirit. They add colour and vitality to life. Men have treasured

them as gold. Poets in particular are moved by their compelling grace, though every human

being is hypnotized by their magnetic charm. Wordsworth, the high priest of nature, wrote:

“To me the meanest flower that blows

Can give thoughts that often lie too deep for tears.”

2. Flowers are an important part of every household, especially in India. They are

indispensable for every religious ceremony or festival. Homes are decorated with colourful

flowers. Gods and Goddesses are pleased with the offerings of flowers. Flowers have really

made a niche for themselves in social activity. Gone are the days of shaguns and gifts.

Whether it is a birthday party, a wedding ceremony, a welcome or a valedictory function,

flowers are the in-thing nowadays. If you wish to wish somebody, there is no better way to

send/carry a bouquet of flowers. They bring cheer to the sick and the invalid. They tell the

recipient that you really care when one finds it difficult to express one’s feelings face to face.

On Valentine Day, which falls on 14 Feb, many a red rose is found in ever youth’s hand.

Thus, from a proposal to a wedding pandal to a doli/wedding car, there are flowers and

flowers all the way.

A.1.1 On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions

briefly: (3)

(a) Why are flowers called the smiles of the earth?

(b) How have flowers been a source of everlasting joy to man?

(c)What did Wordsworth, the high priest of nature, say?

A.2 Find words from the passage that mean the same as the following: (2)

a) make changes (para 1) ………………………….. b) farewell (para 2) …………………………..
