General Instructions:

(i) This paper is divided into three sections: A, B and C. All sections are compulsory.

(ii) Separate instructions are given with each section/question, wherever necessary. Read them carefully and follow them.

SECTION A – Reading (30 Marks)

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully: (12 Marks)

1. There are about 35,000 known spider species, although scientists estimate that there may be about 180,000 species in the world. Spider webs are built from silk, which is produced within the body of the spider and pulled out of two openings, or spinnerets, with the spider's hind legs. All spiders have two claws on their feet, but web-spinning spiders have three. They are used not only to pull the silk, but also to grip and release the web’s threads and provide traction as they move along the web.

2. Spiders are noted for web building, yet many kinds never use their talent in this manner. Instead of building silken traps they hunt their prey, stalking and leaping on their victims or hiding or pouncing on them.

3. Webs vary in style from the irregular cobweb that neat housewives constantly dust away, to the beautiful silken orbs that we so often


find outdoors. There are four general types besides the irregular mesh and the orb; we find the funnel webs and the sheet webs. Until the spiders are fully grown, the male as well as female spiders spin silk and construct webs. However after their last molt the males no longer engage in spinning but often linger on or near the webs of their mates.

4. Spiders are justifiably known as master architects. Messy as an irregular mesh web may appear, it is nevertheless built on a definite plan and is very efficient. The central maze is a widespread trap. Within this may be a densely woven sheet, combining such materials such as leaves and grains of sand with the silk thus serving as a shelter for the little builder. Anchoring the maze firmly to supports are long lines, which have small knobs of sticky silk near their base. When a small insect brushes against a sticky line it is snared and as it struggles the line breaks and tethers the victim. The common house spider and other members of the family prepare webs of this type.

5. The sheet web has been developed on a platform like plan, with the webbing closely woven on a horizontal plane. A platform is created and on this insects jump, fly or drop, often being stopped in their flight by lines which the spider has crisscrossed above the platform. After building the platform or sheet, the spider clings to its underside. At times it constructs another sheet below so that it is sandwiched between two silken barriers. When victims land on the top sheet, the spider pulls them through the silk. Sheet webs are built to last a long time.

6. Even more permanent than these sheet webs is the handiwork of the funnel web spiders. Outside the retreat in which it lives, a


member of this family starts to spin its webbing until a smooth runway is created. If this is on the ground it suggests a sheet and if suspended from vegetation, a tiny hammock. In any case it looks like a good landing field to insects. However, after alighting they find themselves bogged down in a soft trap, and the spinner, which has been waiting at the mouth of its funnel retreat, quickly attacks them. As one of these spiders grows to adulthood, and as long as it remains active, it continues to add to its structure. Gradually a thin small mesh becomes a large thick blanket. In autumn these webs are at their peak, and especially when covered with dew, maybe seen spreading over acres of grasslands like dainty fairy woven carpeting.

1. The ban on the use of polybags is imposed and lifted with such


rapidity that making the consumer regards it a farce! However, these so-called convenient, user-friendly bags are a death trap for many creatures. Its use also affects the common man though he doesn’t realise it yet. The Supreme Court stated that the excessive use of plastic bags and their unregulated disposal has been choking lakes, ponds and urban sewage systems. This poses a threat that is far more serious than the atom bomb for the next generation.

2. This observation from a bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and S .J. Mukhopadhaya came on a PIL filed by two Andhra Pradesh-based NGOs drawing the court's attention to 30-60 kg of plastic bags recovered from the stomachs of cows because of their irresponsible disposal and the defunct municipal waste collection system.

3. The court issued notice to the Central and state governments on the PIL seeking ban on use of plastic bags in municipal areas which did not have a prompt garbage collection, segregation and disposal system. The NGOs said the absence of a proper system allowed cows to rummage through garbage bins and eat foodstuff disposed of in plastic bags; these bags, in turn, get stuck in their stomach. Not only does plastic choke these bovine creatures, the plastic residues enter the human food chain through dairy and animal products stated the PIL.

4. The bench, however, wanted to address the larger issues arising from indiscriminate use of plastic bags, which not only posed a grave threat to nature and environment but also to the human race itself. It suggested that the petitioner make the manufacturers and a television channel, which has been running


a campaign against use of plastic, parties to the PIL for a wider scrutiny of the important issue.

5. “We want to expand the scope of this petition. Unless we examine a total ban on plastic bags or put in place a system for manufactures mandating them to collect back all plastic bags, the next generation will be threatened with something more serious than the atom bomb”, the bench said. The court also drew the petitioner's attention to large quantities of water packed in plastic pouches, which were thrown around in undisciplined manner across the countryside every day, "A rough estimate shows more than 100 million water pouches are thrown away," the bench said.

(I). On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate option: (1x2=2 Marks) 1. The scope of this petition can be expanded by

a. a partial ban on plastic industry b. making it mandatory for the manufacturers to collect

back all plastic bags and involving a TV channel advertising it

c. involving the school students d. checking the packing industry

2. The polybags which were found strewn in

undisciplined manner across the countryside every day were used to package a. potable water b. milk c. clothes and accessories


d. a variegated range of consumer goods

(II). Answer the following questions as briefly as possible: (1x6=6 Marks)

3. What makes the public regard the ban on polybags farcical? 4. Why was the PIL lodged? 5. According to you, was it so serious an issue that it required

intervention by the Supreme Court? 6. How does plastic residue find its way into the human food

chain? 7. In what circumstances would it be alright to use plastic

bags? 8. What is wrong in using plastic pouches for potable water? 9. Why is the threat from the use of polybags described as

being worse than that from the atom bomb? 10.The unregulated disposal of polybags poses a bigger crisis

than their use. Comment.

(III). Find words from the passage which are similar in meaning to the following: (1x2=2 Marks) a. residues (Paragraph 3) b. petitioner (Paragraph 5)


The day the child is born, the parents start dreaming of making him/her a doctor, engineer, architect or an IAS. As the child grows, their hopes and aspirations start growing. They start visualising their children earning handsomely and leading successful lives. Having an ideal career for their children is a dream, especially so


of parents of a teenager! Most youngsters, at that age, however, wrongly believe that they are at the beginning of their career path. Little do they realise that they had stepped onto that path soon after they were born! Right from infancy, the type of toys and books, then their school studies, recreational activities and hobbies help the children gravitate towards such interests. These interests fuel the parents’ ambitions for their precious darling. Getting a job is not as crucial as choosing the right career path – one that promises more personal satisfaction and growth, and of course, earnings that will let them live a good life. So making a wise choice becomes all the more important. Developing a keen assessment of personal attributes is essential for making the right career decisions but most youngsters are not so aware. In fact, many of them admit that they need help in planning their careers. Inexperienced, unsure and ill-informed, young people often turn to others for help, and rightly so. Many parents mistakenly try to ‘tell’ their children – directly or indirectly – about their expectations of their ward’s career. This often results in the child following his parents’ dream, not his own; later on, the youth grows up to be an unhappy and dissatisfied professional! Youngsters are often seen relying on their peers for career guidance, which may not always prove to be reliable. Parents can play a judicious role in getting an aptitude assessment and arranging counselling for their wards. Parents must assist their wards in making an informed decision rather than forcing their will or thrusting their own unfulfilled dreams on their children. a.
