It deposed before the Commission that the man had asked the elephant to save his hut from the hurricane and as the hurricane had gained access to the hut owing to the unoccupied space in the hut, the elephant had put the empty, undeveloped space to a more economic use by occupying it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 14.<br \/>\nHow does the schoolboy view his experience in school in &#8216;The School Boy&#8217;?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nIn the poem, \u2018The School Boy\u2019 Blake makes a plea on behalf of little children who hate the experience of going to school because of the prevalent authoritarian ways of school authorities. In the poem, we see that it is a matter of utmost disappointment for the schoolboy to attend school on a sweet summer morning when actually he wishes to enjoy the mirth of summer. He is tired and even puzzled under the strict supervision of his teacher. The phrase \u2018cruel eye outworn\u2019 refers to the authoritarian eyes of the teacher that actually tire the boy. Instead of enjoying the pleasures of summer, the child has to compulsorily attend the school where he spends his day in boredom and dismay.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, in such a set-up, the child experiences weariness. He sits drooping out in the sea of tediousness. The child resents the assault on him by the oppressive personality of the teacher and the unnecessary words of erudition the teacher gushes out without attempting to understand either the child\u2019s intention at his urge for unchecked freedom. The learning\u2019s bower refers to a garden where the child can be taught in an interesting way, only if nature accompanies him instead of the school teacher.<\/p>\n<p>A bird which is born cheerful and jovial can never sing sweet songs if caged. Similarly, a child, if restrained under the umbrella of annoying fear, tension and the scepticism of his teacher, can never enjoy the natural instincts of joy and playfulness. A world full of rigid course of discipline will ruthlessly take away the beautiful spring \u2014 the childhood days \u2014 of a person\u2019s life. Thus, though the tone of the poem is not highly critical, Blake does make his point clear \u2014 don\u2019t kill the joy of learning.<\/p>\n<p>Question 15.<br \/>\nHow was Krishna cured when he had piles in&#8217;Around a Medicinal Creeper&#8217;?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nKrishna had piles problem and the only cure for it in allopathy was surgery. Krishna, an illiterate, was terrified of surgery and hence he went to the village godman for treatment. The godman, being old, could only give the description of the plant which could be used for his cure. Since the description matched the features of the miracle creeper, the author took him to the creeper which Appanna had tied to a tree and Krishna drank the ground tuber of the creeper with milk. He was cured completely in five days.<\/p>\n<p>Question 16.<br \/>\nDescribe the people and the place where the narrator lived in &#8216;Oru Manushyan&#8217;.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe place was quite a big city in the valley of a mountain. The inhabitants did not have the virtue of mercy in their heart and were a cruel lot. They were ready to do anything for money. Shocking incidents like murder, robbery, pickpocketing were the order of the day. The inhabitants worked as soldiers, money lenders and watchmen in banks\/mills\/commercial establishments. They had no knowledge of English and it was as though they were content in their own small world of malice and meanness.<\/p>\n<p>Question 17.<br \/>\nWhy does the poet describe money madness as our &#8216;vast collective madness&#8217; in &#8216;Money Madness&#8217;?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAccording to the poet, \u2018money madness\u2019 is directly related to the attitude of mankind towards those who do not have money. Mankind measures the worth of a man in society by the amount of money a man has. Mankind treats those who do not have money with a lot of contempt and humiliates them. No doubt, mankind gives such people bread to eat, but along with bread, such people will also have to suffer a lot of humiliation and cruelty. This attitude of mankind towards those who do not have money gives \u2018money\u2019 cruel power which terrorizes people. It is this terrorizing fear of getting humiliated by the society that makes people mad about money. Naturally, every individual craves to possess some money. That is why the poet describes \u2018money madness\u2019 as our \u2018vast collective madness\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Question 18.<br \/>\nWhy does the speaker wish to be a tree in &#8216;If I was a Tree&#8217;?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nIt is clear from the poem that the speaker has suffered the bane of discrimination in human society. His statement that if he were a tree no bird would ask him what caste he is, makes it clear that the speaker is made to feel ashamed of his caste repeatedly. When he states that the shadow of the tree which is formed on the ground when the sunlight falls on it, wouldn\u2019t feel defiled, it is clear that people keep him at a distance and do not allow even his shadow to come \u00a1n their way as he and his shadow are considered impure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When he talks about the sweet friendship with the cool breeze and leaves, it is clear that in society not many extend to him their hands of friendship. When he avers that raindrops wouldn\u2019t turn back from him considering him a dog eater, it is understandable that people from whom he hoped for sustenance just as a tree gets its sustenance from water, he got only abuse and rejection. When he writes that mother earth wouldn\u2019t flee from him with the fear of getting defiled, the picture of upper caste people shooing him away forms in the imagination of the readers.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase \u2018branching out\u2019 makes \u00a1t clear that the hopes and aspirations of the lower caste people are curbed and they are not allowed to make use of their potential. Through the image of the sacred cow coming to the tree and giving the tree the joy of being touched by the three hundred thousand gods sheltering inside her, the speaker shows that entry to sacred places is denied to him. It could even be an ironical reference to the higher caste people who worship cows as divine but fail to see divinity in their fellow human beings. It could even be a mockery of the upper caste people who worship thousands of gods but have no respect for their brethren.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when the speaker says that if he were a tree he would have the privilege of being burnt In the holy fire or becoming the bier, it is clear that, as a human being, he knows that he would be shunned even after death and wouldn\u2019t be allowed a decent death. Thus, as a human being, in life and death, he would be condemned, but as a tree, he would live a life of dignity and joy. Thus the speaker makes \u00a1t clear that instead of being born as a human being in a society which practises discrimination, it is better to be born as a tree or any other creature in nature, as in nature there is no discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>Question 19.<br \/>\nGive an account of Mara&#8217;s meeting with the king on a stormy night in &#8216;Watchman of the Lake&#8217;.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWhen Mara fell at her feet, the Goddess asked him to rise up and hear her intently. She told him that she was the Goddess of the Lake and that river Veda was her plaything. She asked him to leave the hut at once and save his life. Mara asked her what was going to happen. She told him that she was going to destroy the tank that imprisoned Veda. When Mara told her that they had built the tank at her command, the Goddess replied that she was in a different mood and wanted to splash away the waters of Veda. Mara told the Goddess that the waters of Veda would wash away hundreds of villages and towns and the king\u2019s capital beyond if the bank was removed.<\/p>\n<p>Mara prostrated before her and begged her to stay her hand and not to carry out the devastation until he came back after informing the king about it. After meeting the king he requested the king to get him executed and prevent him from returning to the Goddess. Though the king disliked the suggestion, finally he granted Mara\u2019s wish and got him executed. The Goddess stayed her hand, did not destroy the tank and waited for Mara\u2019s return. Thus, Mara saved the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Question 20.<br \/>\nHow does the poem &#8216;The Farmer&#8217;s Wife&#8217; bring out the plight of the farmer&#8217;s wife and her self-assertion?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe poem \u2018The Farmer\u2019s Wife\u2019 is structured like a dramatic; monologue In which the woman addresses her dead husband, as though he was sitting right in front of her. In veiled anger and a mocking tone, she tells him that it was a virtue that he had died without being forced to suffer the humiliation of standing before his creditors with a bent head and a hand stretched out or selling off his crops. But she is a sinner and hence having been born as a woman, with a bent head and a hand outstretched, had to sell her self-esteem all through her life. She asks him why he had left her to suffer despite knowing her status in society. She accuses him of intentionally committing suicide, despite being aware of her predicament as a \u2018widow\u2019. She castigates him for consuming poison and poisoning her existence.<\/p>\n<p>Using the cotton crop as an analogy, she tries to convey the idea that the \u2018cotton crop\u2019 has a limited life and once it is sold, or it perishes owing to vagaries of weather, we forget it once and for all. But, her family has to continue to take out a living, generation after generation.<\/p>\n<p>She questions the popular idea of \u2018manhood\u2019 as propagated by society. She recalls how she had struggled hard to keep his family alive, despite being kicked and verbally abused by him, in a drunken mood. She tells him sarcastically, that she had suffered such cruel treatment, only because she had firmly believed that he would act like a real \u2018man\u2019 and would take care of her family. She mocks him for dying like a coward and giving her a death blow. She accuses him of being selfish, self-centred and irresponsible. She admits that it was true that the crop he had hoped to raise had perished and hence his debts had remained unpaid. Consequently, they were looked down upon and were forced to cry in humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>At this juncture, he had only thought of \u2018his crop\u2019 and \u2018his dignity\u2019 and hence had taken recourse to suicide. But, by doing so, he had proved that he was utterly selfish, and Irresponsible husband and father. He should also have thought of his duty and responsibility, as a husband and to his four children, which she had borne and harvested from her womb. She asks a rhetorical question \u2018Can I leave them to the wind like worm-eaten cotton pods?\u2019 She Intends to say that \u2018crops\u2019 can be left to perish and not her children.<\/p>\n<p>She expresses her contempt saying that he had died like a coward most irresponsibly without bothering about his kids. In the last part, she expresses her stance as a \u2018mother\u2019. She declares that she would stay alive not merely to take care of her children but also to show to her children how to embrace life and to struggle for life with a clenched fist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 21.<br \/>\nWrite a note on the cruelty of Mr Plummer in &#8216;Frederick Douglass&#8217;.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMr Plummer was so ruthless that Captain Anthony, who himself was a cruel slaveholder, was enraged by the cruelty of Plummer. Mr Plummer, as the overseer, was in charge of the farm and the slaves and exploited the situation fully to torment the slaves. He went around with not only the cowskin but also a heavy cudgel and cut and slashed women\u2019s heads horribly. Mr Plummer comes out as a man who took sadistic pleasure in hurting others.<\/p>\n<p>Question 22.<br \/>\nWhat were the different ways in which Nicola and Jacopo earned money?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNicola and Jacopo seem to be jacks of all trades. ln addition to selling strawberry, the boys sold the newspaper, shined shoes, ran errands such as procuring American cigarettes and opera tickets for the foreigners and acted as their tour guides in not only taking them around the beautiful place but also giving them useful information as to which restaurants served good pasta. It looks as if they were prepared to take up any and every avenue of making money. But, what is remarkable is that none of these tasks has even an element of dishonesty or underhand dealing and the boys are honourable in all that they do.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">III. Answer one of the following in about 200 words. (1 \u00d7 6 = 6)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 23.<br \/>\nHow does the play &#8216;Watchman of the Lake&#8217; bring out both the protective and destructive faces of nature?<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\n&#8216;Money is the root of all evils in the society.&#8217; Examine this statement with reference to the poem &#8216;Money Madness&#8217;.<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nBabar All&#8217;s school took shape out of an individual&#8217;s responsibility towards society. Elaborate.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe play makes it very clear that nature is both protective and destructive and that we are at the mercy of nature. We see the same river Veda as the life-giver, life maintainer and life destroyer. The play shows \u00a1t as the whim and fancy of the Goddess, for whom River Veda is a plaything. But, what the author tries to show is that nature can impact us in different ways at different times and we are not in a position to understand why it acts as it does. But, what is important is that we should protect nature and not exploit it.<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nThe poem \u2018Money Madness\u2019 makes an attempt to tell the reader how our fear of the cruel power of money will lead finally to our self-destruction. The speaker argues that if we develop a fear for the cruel power of money, then It will result in making the whole mankind develop a collective madness. This collective money madness is a result of each individual\u2019s presumption that if he or she does not earn enough money and get society\u2019s approval that he or she is a person of worth, then he or she will be put to a great deal of humiliation. Then society will give the individual enough food to survive, but along with the food, society will also criticize the individual for not earning enough. It is this fear of being looked down upon by society that makes people crazy for money and this way collective madness sets in.<\/p>\n<p>Once this collective madness sets in, then we start killing each other and we start humiliating those who do not have enough money even to give them food, fire and shelter which ought to be available to everyone free of cost irresp\u00e9ctive of whether one has enough money or not.<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nIt is undoubtedly true that Babar Au\u2019s school took shape out of an individual\u2019s responsibility towards society. Babar All lived in the Bhapta neighbourhood of Gangapur village in West Bengal\u2019s Murshidabad. The village was known for its backwardness and people of direst poverty lived there.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, though there were quite a good number of government schools in the village which offered free education to the children in the village, most of the parents being very poor could not afford to send their children to the government schools as they did not have enough money to buy books, school uniforms and other essential things. Instead of going to school, most of the boys in the village helped out their families by working as mechanics, day labourers, grass cutters, live stockholders, etc., and the girls worked as maidservants in the village.<\/p>\n<p>However, Babar All, being the son of a jute seller, was financially better off than the others and hence went to school and got a formal education. Moreover, Babar Ali\u2019s father Nasiruddin Sheikh, believed that education is man\u2019s true religion and encouraged his son\u2019s education. Babar Ah, who realized that he was one of the fortunate souls in the village, felt that he must do something for the other, less fortunate children in the village. He had a strong desire to bring about a transformation in the lives of the poor and the underprivileged children who were working as mechanics, day labourers, grass cutters, livestock herders, maidservants, etc. during the day instead of getting a formal education in a government school. Babar All wanted to change this. That is why he took the initiative of opening his very own school.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Babar Ali\u2019s school, \u2018Anand Siksha Niketan\u2019, grew out of a game in which Babar All used to act as a teacher. Since his friends had never seen the inside of a school, they enjoyed playing students. His students ended up learning arithmetic and enjoying it. This idea of a school became a reality in 2002. The school which started with eight students initially, had student strength of 800, after nine years. Babar All\u2019s little afternoon venture is now a registered and recognized school of the West Bengal state government. Thus, Babar All\u2019s school took shape out of an individual\u2019s responsibility towards society.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">IV. Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it. (10 \u00d7 1 = 10)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Born on March 21, 1916, Bismillah Khan belonged to a family of professional Shehnai players. At the age of six, he moved to Banaras where his maternal uncle Ali Baksh introduced him to the nuances of playing the simple reed instrument, the Shehnai. For many years the temple of Balaji and banks of Ganga became the favourite haunt where Bismillah could practice for hours in solitude. The flowing waters of Ganga inspired him to improvise and invent &#8216;ragas&#8217; which were earlier considered to be beyond the range of Shehnai.<\/p>\n<p>His first reward came at the age of 14, as the best performer at the All India Music Conference in Allahabad in 1930. In 1947 he won three medals at the music conference in Calcutta. On the first Independence Day, 15th August 1947, he played at the invitation of the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru. Awards and recognitions came fast. He participated in the World Exposition in Montreal, Cannes Art Festival and Osaka Trade Fair. An auditorium was named after him in Tehran called Tahar Mausiquee Ustaad Bismillah Khan. The World Music Institute celebrated his 80th birthday in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of having travelled all over the world Khan Saab, as he is fondly called, was fond of Banaras and Dumraon. Once, one of his students wanted him to head a Shehnai school in the USA and recreate the atmosphere of Banaras there. But Ustaad asked him if he could take the Ganga there. Talking about Balaji temple he said, &#8220;I have tears in my eyes when I visit the place&#8221;. About Dumraon he said, &#8220;How can I forget the place of my birth?&#8221;. While in Mumbai, I think of only Varanasi and the holy Ganga. And in Varanasi I miss Dumraon. No wonder Khan Saab ever thought of migrating from Banaras unlike some stars like Pandit Ravi Shankar or Ustad Allaudin Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Answer the following in a word, a phrase or a sentence each:<\/p>\n<p>Question 24.<br \/>\nHow old was Bismillah Khan when he moved to Banaras?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nBismillah Khan was six when he moved to Banaras.<\/p>\n<p>Question 25.<br \/>\n______ introduced Bismillah Khan to the nuances of playing Shehnai.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAM Baksh.<\/p>\n<p>Question 26.<br \/>\nWhere was the &#8216;All India Music Conference&#8217; held?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe &#8216;All India Music Conference&#8217; was held in Allahabad.<\/p>\n<p>Question 27.<br \/>\nWhat inspired Bismillah Khan to improvise and invent ragas?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe flowing water of Ganga inspired Bismillah Khan to improvise and invent ragas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 28.<br \/>\n______ played Shehnai for Free India from the ramparts of the Red Fort.<br \/>\n(a) Khan Saab<br \/>\n(b) Pandit Ravi Shankar<br \/>\n(c) Ustad Allaudin.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n(a) Khan Saab.<\/p>\n<p>Question 29.<br \/>\nWhere is the auditorium named after Bismillah Khan Saab situated?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nIn Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>Question 30.<br \/>\nBismillah Khan&#8217;s birthplace is _______<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nDumraon.<\/p>\n<p>Question 31.<br \/>\nWhere was Khan Saab&#8217;s 80th birthday celebrated?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAt the World Music Institute in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Question 32.<br \/>\nThe Prime Minister offered a _______ (invite) to Khan Saab to play at the Red Fort.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\ninvitation.<\/p>\n<p>Question 33.<br \/>\nAdd a suitable prefix to the word &#8216;wanted&#8217; to write its antonym (re, un, de).<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nunwanted.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V.
