The man showed sympathy and gave permission to keep its trunk only, as there w\u00e4s enough place only for its trunk and himself. But the elephant slowly sneaked in and occupied the whole hut and threw him out, by saying that it would protect his hut from the hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>Question 14.<br \/>\nDescribe the school boy\u2019s experience inside the school.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe poet William Blake relevantly argues on the education of the children. He says that the boy is cry happy being with nature and he learns freely in nature as he loves to rise happily in the seminar morning. But when he thinks of school, his happiness disappears and he feels the school is a prison. The boy does not think freely in school. The poet excellently says that the boy sits in the school in fear and anxiety and he questions how he can learn the subjects. When the child loses his happiness he doesn\u2019t show interest in learning and it becomes a major obstacle for his mental and physical growth.<\/p>\n<p>The poet emphasizes nature. He says, the boy gets happiness in the singing of a bird and watching the huntsman. Nature is a sweet company to him. But when the boy enters formal schooling, he spends the time in irritation and anxiety. The poet stresses on free-learning and informal schooling, that is learning in nature. That helps to widen his mental horizon and physical growth The poet is not arguing against education but discourages formal schooling and encourages informal learning. He gives valuable advice to the parents to give a lot of sweet memories of learning in childhood so that the child gets \u00e0ll round development and ensures the future of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Totally; the poem is an excellent attempt to bring out the torture felt by the children at formal schooling. The poem gives the message to discourage formal schooling and encourage free learning for children.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions 1st PUC English Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South)\" width=\"146\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 15.<br \/>\nWhat was the story behind mara\u2019s loss of teeth in \u2018Around a medicinal creeper?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nOnce Mara and his friend laid a trap and caught a barking deer. As they had to divide it equally between them, the\u2019 took it near to the stream and divided the meat. They wrapped their portions in some leaves and brought them home. In Mara\u2019s house, they got ready to cook. but when Mara opened the packet to take out the meat. It was a surprise as instead of the meat, there was a live wild buck when it saw Mara, it jumped up and ran out of his house. When Mara was trying to catch it, as usual, Mara\u2019s wife ignorantly took the leaves and threw them into the fire. This incident shows that Indians do not think of what happened and why? But they simply go according to the situations and never turn the circumstances to their advantage. This is the big weakness of Indians.<\/p>\n<p>Question 16.<br \/>\nGive an account of the embarrassing experience of the narrator at the restaurant in \u2018Oru Manushyam\u2019.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nOnce. the narrator went to a restaurant with fourteen nipples in his wallet kept in the pocket and ate a full meal consisting of chapatis and meat curry. He drank tea. The bill was eleven annas He searched his pocket to pay the bill, but was shocked that his wallet was not in his pocket and someone had stolen it. When he said the same to the oner. the owner caught him by the lapels and ordered him to pay up. But as he did not have an\u2019 moue\u2019, he offered to keep his coat there and later ould bring sonic money and claim the coat. But the owner asked him to take off all his clothes. When he was removing them with great humiliation, a stranger came and helped the narrator by paying his bill.<\/p>\n<p>Question 17.<br \/>\nExplain why the speaker wants to be a tree in the poem \u2018If I was a tree.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe speaker wanted to be a tree because no one would discriminate against it and birds wouldn\u2019t ask to what caste it belonged and sunlight would (approach) embrace it and its shadow wouldn\u2019t be termed polluted. It can make friendship with the cool breeze, and raindrops would not go back by thinking that it is untouchable, The tree would feel happy with the touch of a sacred cow and it would get the opportunity of providing shelter for the hundred thousand Gods said to be residing in the cow. The tree can become pure when it i\u0161 cut into dry pieces and burnt in the holy fire and can help the sinless dead body b becoming a bier on the shoulders of four good men.<\/p>\n<p>The poem describes the sense of equality. present in nature. Sunlight and cool breeze treat everybody with love and spread their sweetness to all without discrimination. Unlike some humans who feel polluted getting in contact with the untouchables. nature has no such sense of superiority. All are equal in their eves.<\/p>\n<p>The poem also presents social discrimination, as the speaker is much humiliated by the social discrimination and wanted to become a tree to escape from discrimination in society. He feels the safety, purity, and generosity, and helping nature of a tree more than in human beings. In society, a man without thinking of helping others thinks which is pure and which is polluted. He neglects and discriminates against some and appreciates others in name of caste. creed and religion. So this practice is meaningless and the practice must be prohibited to sustain equality in society.<\/p>\n<p>Question 18.<br \/>\nWhat kind of hardships did the slaves suffer at the hands of the slaveholders in \u2018Fredrick Douglass?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe slaveholders sexually exploit the slave women and the children born out of this also follow this condition of slavery. Mother and child are separated to avoid any filial bonding. Children born like this are a constant reminder to the wives of the masters about their parentage and they take a sadistic pleasure in ill-treating these mulatt9es.<\/p>\n<p>They are whipped and beaten for the slightest offense and if the master shows any favors to them, they get punished further. The slaves are whipped mercilessly for the smallest mistakes. As it is they are made to work from morning till night without rest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions 1st PUC English Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South)\" width=\"146\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 19.<br \/>\nHow does the poem bring out the plight of a woman in \u2018The Farmers Wife\u2019?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe poem \u2018The Farmer\u2019s Wife\u201d is a tragic poem that reflects the helpless conditions of farmers&#8217; widows. The plight of the widows is explained by one such widow. The poet uses many phrases to contrast her condition with that of her dead husband. She called the farmer \u2018virtuous\u2019 and herself a poor sinner. The farmer was unable to pay the debts and he left all the debts to his wife, so she was very sad about his act of committing suicide. The feminist concept was also highlighted in the poem, the phrase \u201cI was born with a head bent\u201d justifies the discrimination in our society between men and women. Man is born with his head held high, but a woman is born with her head bent. But he did not face his creditors bravely and left all this to his wife to solve.<\/p>\n<p>She accused her husband that he poisoned himself and gone away by poisoning his wife&#8217;s existence. She remembered the memories of his beating, blaming, drinking, and kicking haunting her. She never dreamt that he would commit suicide. It was true that the crop was gone but the debt remained there and dignity had hit the dust. She expresses her helplessness that how would she be able to bear the burden of their four children. She compared her condition with \u201cworm-eaten cotton pods.\u201d She got ambiguous and asked what was that and why he committed suicide.<\/p>\n<p>At last, she confidently asserts her determination to struggle out her life even without her husband for the sake of her children. So, she shows a strong will to survive against all difficulties, Her voice is raised against society in general.<\/p>\n<p>Question 20.<br \/>\nHow does the speaker\u2019s attitude undergo a change in the poem \u201cAn old woman\u201d?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe poem An old woman\u201d depicts the worst condition of an old woman, who is an old beggar near the Horseshoe shrine. She holds the sleeves of the passers-by. and follows them asking for a fifty paise coin. Even though by appearance she looks like a beggar. she has her self-respect and in return for the fifty paise, offers to show the tourists around the Horseshoe shrine. She laments about her helplessness in those wretched hills to eke out a living.<\/p>\n<p>Her physical appearance evokes sympathy in the passers-by. Phrases like \u201cbullet holes for her eyes, \u2018\u2018cracks that begin around her eyes spread beyond her skin\u2019\u2019, and shatterproof crone describes the pathetIc condition of her miserable existence.<\/p>\n<p>Question 21.<br \/>\nWhat was the story told by the nurse about the two boys in \u2018Two Gentlemen of Verona\u2019?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe boys were true \u2018gentlemen\u2019, very refined and sensitive in character. They were devoted to their sister, and in order to earn money for her treatment undertook all kinds of jobs available in Verona. They sold fruit, shined shoes. ran errands and hawked newspapers and worked hard throughout the day. This shows that they did not consider any job below their dignity. Though they were not born to do such jobs, they learned them and performed them well.<\/p>\n<p>Their eagerness to learn and perform varieties of jobs demonstrates a sacrificing, loving nature that is ready to go to any extent to secure the happiness of the loved one. They were also selfless because very earnestly they saved the money they made to pay for their sister\u2019s treatment but never on clothes or on themselves. Both of them were proud boys. They did not discuss their problems with anyone, and very few people knew about their sister and her hospitalization. Even when the narrator took them to the hospital. they went in by themselves and did not speak to him about their sister. They, especially Nicola. did not like to ask for anyone\u2019s help. They display the real characters which exemplify a true gentleman.<\/p>\n<p>The story begins with Luigi\u2019s implication that the two boys might be this selling fruits that they had stolen. What unfolds later proves how wrong his suspicion was. The boys prove to be every inch gentlemen and gain respect from the narrator. They arouse feelings of love and respect in the nurse at the hospital too.<\/p>\n<p>Question 22.<br \/>\nWhat harsh realities of life have drawn the speaker&#8217;s attention much more than the beauty of his beloved?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThough he loved her deep when he comes to realize that there are other truths than his love. He became helpless towards his beloved. He honestly says his love would be the same but he can\u2019t spend the time for her love because there are many problems in the country for which he has to give attention, like poverty and helpless destitute.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions 1st PUC English Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South)\" width=\"146\" height=\"13\" \/><\/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 poem \u2018Money madness\u2019 bring out the collective madness that affects individuals?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe poem Money Madness by D.H. Lawrence focuses on how a man becomes more materialistic and loses the values and sentiments in society He respects money over relationships Society goes on measuring a man in terms of money. A man who does not have money does not get respect from society and those who have money get respect and are obeyed by all. So to get all these social status, the man gives much importance to money and he never helps other fellow beings who may be in difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>The poet says that man has this money madness and it is widely spread among men. He affirms that if society goes behind money, individuals to goes behind the same. He confirms that no man gives a pound without pain and no man gives ten pounds without trembling, and the man loses his generosity. Man makes money, but money makes man and many things. So, the man fears monk and tries to accumulate them and respects it instead of other men. The poet also warns that money-less people should not be treated with neglect and shouLd not be treated based on status.<\/p>\n<p>The poet fears for mankind that if it measures another man only in terms of money, there would be no future for human relationships. If people do not regain sanity about money. certainly, money has got men down to become its slaves. So. the poet offers a genuine solution that bread sho\u00fald be free, shelter should be free and fire should be free to all the people in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the overall view of the poem. the poet worries about man\u2019s greed for money and offers a better solution for a better tomorrow<br \/>\n(OR)<br \/>\nIs there any logic in labeling Mara a lunatic by the village headman? &#8211; Substantiate.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe headman thought that Mara was a lunatic as he was wandering around without any work and also disturbing other workmen who were busy laying a road. He had shared with some of the workers and the headman his dream about the Goddess and the Tank. The headman was not convinced and thought that Mara was only fooling around. Even though Mara\u2019s dream about the Goddess\u2019 instructions to build a tank to hold the waters of river Veda would have been for the benefit of the village, he was not taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, to avoid Mara meeting the King with his story about the Goddess, the headman made Bhima one of his workmen to keep Mara captive under his care till the King\u2019s passing their village. But Mara managed to outwit Bhima and landed in front of the King from a tree and spoke to the King about his dream.<\/p>\n<p>The headman was prejudiced against Mara in calling him a lunatic and definitely not justified in his conclusion.<br \/>\n(OR)<br \/>\nDo you think that Babar Ali\u2019s act of thoughtfulness has enabled poor children to move towards growth? discuss.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nBabar Mi\u2019s school was started when he was only nine while playing a game. Very soon. children began to love his way of teaching and flocked to his \u2018school\u2019. Babar did not charge any fee for his teaching. He also got the help of the local educated people, who came and taught the children. Babar was successful in getting the help of nine high school student volunteers. The oldest and most educated of them is Debarita who goes to College in Behrampur.<\/p>\n<p>Babar himself studies in class XII in a school quite far from his house. He commutes the long-distance, attends classes in the mornings, and comes back in the afternoons to his \u2018school\u2019 to teach youngsters who have worked hard in the mornings and are now ready for learning. The fact that his school is entirely free, he and his staff teach well, there is a midday meal, and his school is recognized by the Vest Bengal Government, attracts many students to his school.<\/p>\n<p>The increasing strength of his school just shows how eager people are to get their children ed\u00fccated, and how good. selfless work gets noticed by people soon. Those who cannot afford education in the regular schools, do not mind sending their children to learn from teachers like Babar. This only proves that Indians are realizing the significance of education in life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions 1st PUC English Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South)\" width=\"146\" height=\"13\" \/><\/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>A man was sitting in a garden. When he saw the incredible sight of a cocoon with a tiny opening through which a butterfly was trying to emerge. He watched for an hour captivated, as the butterfly struggled to come out of that tiny hole, bit by bit, flapping its wings, shaking itself fighting to free its body. But even after an hour of frantic struggling, it seemed that the poor little insect was making no progress. It had probably got as far as it could on its own.<\/p>\n<p>So the man decided to help the poor butterfly. With gentle hands, he tore open the hole in the cocoon, just a bit wider to allow the butterfly to emerge easily. The butterfly came out. It had a shriveled body and tiny wings. It looked weak and tender.<\/p>\n<p>The man eagerly waited. the butterfly\u2019s wings to open up and expand for it to fly away. But that did not happen. In fact, the butterfly stayed weak and shriveled unable to fly.<\/p>\n<p>Tire man did not realize that in his attempt to help the butterfly, he had in fact harmed it. The struggle to break free from the cocoon is nature\u2019s way of preparing the butterfly to learn to fly. As it fights to emerge from the restrictive cocoon, fluids from the body get pushed into the wings making them stronger, making them larger, enabling them to fly. Without, the struggle, the butterfly stays weak and unable to fly.<\/p>\n<p>No Struggle, no success. That\u2019s as true for butterflies as it is for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Question 24.<br \/>\nWhere was the man sitting?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe man was sitting in a garden.<\/p>\n<p>Question 25.<br \/>\nWhat did he see?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nHe saw the incredible sight of a cocoon with a tiny opening<\/p>\n<p>Question 26.<br \/>\nWhat was the butterfly trying to do?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe butterfly was trying to emerge.<\/p>\n<p>Question 27.<br \/>\nHow long did the man watch the butterfly?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nHe watched for an hour.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/KSEEB-Solutions.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions 1st PUC English Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South)\" width=\"146\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 28.<br \/>\nWhat did the man do then?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe man decided to help the poor butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>Question 29.<br \/>\nMan\u2019s attempt to help the butterfly was<br \/>\n(a) Useful<br \/>\n(b) Harmful<br \/>\n(c) Meaningful<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n(b) Harmful<\/p>\n<p>Question 30.<br \/>\nAss a prefix to the word \u201cprepare\u201d to make its antonym.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nUnprepared.<\/p>\n<p>Question 31.<br \/>\nThe word \u2018enable\u2019 means<br \/>\n(a) incapable<br \/>\n(b) capable<br \/>\n(c) Uncapable<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n(b) capable<\/p>\n<p>Question 32.<br \/>\nWhy was the butterfly unable to fly?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe butterfly was weak and unable to fly.<\/p>\n<p>Question 33.<br \/>\nWhat is the message of the passage?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNo struggle, no success.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V.
