CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 English Term 2 Set 3 with Solutions

Time Allowed: 2 Hours
Maximum Marks: 40

General Instructions:

• The Question Paper contains THREE sections-READING, WRITING and LITERATURE.
• Attempt questions based on specific instructions for each part.

Section – A
Reading (14 Marks)

Question 1.
Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Donated Organs and their Transportation :
Once an organ donor’s family gives its consent and the organs are matched to a recipient, medical professionals are faced with the onerous challenge of transporting organs while ensuring that the harvested organ reaches its destination in the shortest possible time. This is done in order to preserve the harvested organs and involves the police and especially the traffic police department.

5. The traditional method of transporting organs by road is referred to as a “green corridor”. This process entails police escorting an ambulance, so as to move around traffic – usually a specific traffic lane is chosen and all signals on the route stay green to ensure it to reach its destination in the shortest possible time.

10. A ‘green corridor’ is a route cleared and cordoned off by the traffic police to ensure the smooth and steady transportation of harvested organs, on most occasions, to those awaiting a life-saving transplant. Organs tend to have a very short preservation time, such as the heart which has to be harvested and transplanted within four hours or the lungs which can be preserved for only six hours once they are harvested.

15. The first green corridor in India was created by Chennai Traffic Police in September 2008 when they accomplished their task of enabling an ambulance to reach its destination within 11 minutes during peak hour traffic. That organ saved a nine-year-old girl whose life depended on the transplant.

20. Similarly, such green corridors have been created by traffic police of various cities such as Pune, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, etc. Personnel are stationed at selected points to divert, control and clear the traffic giving way to the ambulance. Apart from this, a motorcade of police vehicles accompanies the ambulance ensuring that it does not face any problems. Delhi Traffic Police provided a green corridor from IGI Airport to Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in Vasant Kunj for transportation of a liver. The distance of 14 kms was covered in 11 minutes.

25. Experts point out the lack of a robust system to transport organs to super-speciality hospitals in least possible time. National Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO), the country’s apex organ donation agency, is now framing a proposal to airlift cadaver organs and will send a report to the Union Health Ministry. “Cadaver organs have a short life and so transplant should be done within a few golden hours.” Director (NOTTO) expressed, “Therefore, we are preparing a proposal for airlifting organs at any given moment.”

30. Most states do not have enough well- trained experts to retrieve or perform transplant procedures. Also, there is an acute shortage of advanced healthcare faculties to carry out a transplant. So, it is referred to other big centres in metropolitan cities. Organs retrieved from Aurangabad, Indore, Surat, Pune are sent to Mumbai as these cities uo not have super-speciality healthcare centres, informed offcials.

35. “In India, about fifty thousand to one lakh patients are suffering from acute heart failure and need heart transplant at any point of time. In a private set-up, a heart transplant costs ₹15-20 lakh which is followed up by post-operative medication of about ₹30,000 per month lifelong.”

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY EIGHT questions from the six given below. (1 x 8)

(A) Cite a point in evidence, from the text, to suggest that heart patients struggle for life in India due to robust system of organ transplants by government. (1)

(B) State any one reason that is evident from lines 10-15 to prove that the harvested organs must be delivered to the destination in the shortest time possible. (1)

(C) The writer thinks that the medical professionals face ‘onerous challenge of transporting organs’. Why does he think it to be ‘onerous challenge’? (1)

(D) Why does the Director (NOTTO) expressed that the transplant should be done within the golden hours? (1)

(E) Rewrite the given sentence by replacing the underlined phrase with another one, from lines 15 – 20. (1)

Teacher praised the students when they finished their task of performing the experiment in time.

(F) What does the use of the phrase ‘harvested organ’ suggest in the context of the writer’s description of transplant? (1)

(G) Select a suitable phrase from lines 15-25 to complete the following sentence appropriately.

I warned Shamita to avoid travelling during the ………………… but she clearly didn’t pay any attention to it. Now let her be stuck in the there. (1)

(H) Why do the organ transplants are mostly referred to the metropolitan cities? (1)

(I) Analyse how can smaller cities perform the organ transplants with the help of government. (1)
Answer:
(A) As per the passage, in India, heart patients have to struggle hard as the cost of transplant in private hospitals is 15-20 lakh and around a monthly 30,000 expense lifelong on medicine thereafter which most of the people can’t afford.

(B) Harvested organs have very short preservation time like the heart that should be transplanted within four hours and lungs within six hours once harvested.

So, the time taken to deliver the organs to the destination must be the shortest possible.

(C) Transporting harvested organs is a oner-ous challenge for medical professionals because there is a lack of robust transport system for organs and the time once the organs are harvested, is very limited.

(D) The director means to say that the time that is available for the doctors to transplant the organ once it is harvested from the donor is limited. The surgery must be performed in that limited period of hours for it to work.

(E) Accomplished their task.

(F) The phrase refers to the organ that is taken out from the donor in order to be transplanted into a patient’s body.

(G) Peak hour traffic.

(H) Organ transplants are mostly referred to the metropolitan cities because of the lack of facilities and professionals to carry the transplant in small towns.

(I) The smaller cities can perform the organ transplants if the government opens super-specialty healthcare units and provide well-trained professionals for assistance.

Question 2.
Read the passage given below:

Dealing with nervousness can sometimes be a difficult thing to do. When you feel nervous, you tend to lose control to some extent. You can start to shake and tremble a bit or you can start to sweat and even get a bit dizzy. It may seem like a bad thing but this feeling that you experience is your body’s way of telling you something. Nervousness is a signal to your mind that you need to get ready. It can sometimes be mixed with the feeling of excitement as well

5. There are many situations that can cause a person to feel nervous. It can be a situation where you are about to make a, speech, appear for an interview or take an exam. All of these things can bring out that feeling of anxiety. It can cause you to stumble on your words. It can cause you to make a fool out of yourself in public It can cause you to just plain freeze up. It can even cause you to turn around and go back the way you came from.

10. However, there are ways and means by which you can learn to control nervousness and use it to your advantage. The first thing you need to do is understand the reason for your nervousness. Most of the times when you get anxious, it means that you aren’t as prepared as you think you should be. Often when it’s our first time doing something that is outside of 15. our comfort zone, we will feel a bit nervous but after we have done it over and over, we feel more confident about it. In other words, in order to feel less nervous about whatever is causing you to feel that feeling of nervousness, you need more practice. There is a difference between feeling nervous because you aren’t prepared and feeling excited because you’re anxious to show what you can do.

20. We often get nervous because we are afraid of what others might think of us. You don’t have to worry about that because more often than not people are too concerned with their own selves to focus on your faults. According to a study conducted on Americans, most of the people are afraid of ‘public speaking’.

What are you so afraid of?
% of Amencans who say they fear…..

25. The problem is that we are our own worst critics. American psychologist William James believes, “Human beings by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.” Visualise yourself doing a great job. Visualise yourself getting the results you want. Visualise

30. receiving praise and appreciation. Visualisation and affirmations have the power of bringing about a positive change in your thought patterns. Nervousness is something that can be dealt with through practice as well as realizing that life is too short to spend too much time worrying. If you want to do a good job, be prepared, think

35. positive and practice as much as you can.

On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer ANY SIX questions from the six given below. (1 x 6)

(A) What does the researcher mean by ‘changing the inner attitudes of mind’? (1)

(B) Why was this survey on ‘what are you so afraid of’ undertaken? (1)

(C) With reference to fig. 1, write one conclusion about Americans belief in superstitions. (1)

(D) What can be concluded by 11% of Americans being afraid of ‘strangers’, with reference to the fig. 1? (1)

(E) The real fear was the public itself, according to the survey. Substantiate. (1)

(F) Why is it said that ‘we are our own critics’? (1)

(G) Identify a word from lines 25 – 35 indicating the happening of a situation even when it is not present in real. (1)
Answer:
(A) By this, the researcher means that a person can change his outer aspects of life if he starts changing his inner thoughts of minds. A person should think positive in order to feel positive.

(B) The survey was undertaken to prove a study that people are their own critics. This gives birth to anxiety. Most of the people are scared of‘public speaking’ that shows people are scared of what others think of them.

(C) Clearly from the fig. 1, we can see that only around 8.5% of Americans are afraid of ghosts which prove that they are not at all superstitious to believe in them.

(D) The 11 % of Americans are afraid of ‘strangers’ that means they do not trust people and are insecure of their safety from the unknown people.

(E) Maximum Americans were afraid of ‘public speaking’. This means that people are afraid of being judged by other people. They fear each other’s criticism on them.

(F) It is true that we are our own critics because before people judge us, we are the ones who judge ourselves in our minds. We think low of ourselves even when no one has pointed out any finger towards us.

(G) Visualization.

Question 5.
Answer ANY FIVE of the six questions given below, with in 40 words each. (2 x 5)

(A) The misery of the poor tenants made Gandhiji want to help them. What was the misery of the peasants of Champaran? (2)

(B) At the end of the story ‘The Rattrap’, the peddler finally changes his ways and mind about the world. Elaborate briefly what awakened the change in the peddler.

You may begin your answer like this:
The peddler’s soul was rekindled by Edla’s kind and compassionate treatment ………………….. (2)

(C) ‘Life provides many charms yet it too causes suffering and pain’. Expound with reference to the statement based on your reading of the poem ‘A Thing of Beauty’. (2)

(D) Rationalize how ‘denizens’ and ‘chivalric’ add to our understanding of the tiger’s attitudes? (2)

(E) How do we know that Evans had no chance of getting through the O-level German examination? Why did he take the test? (2)

(F) Validate the friendship between Mr Lamb and Derry as ‘fruitful’. (2)
Answer:
(A) The peasants of Champaran were crushed immorally by the British landlords as they forced them to plant 15 percent of their holding with indigo and then surrender the entire harvest as rent for the estate. Later, when synthetic indigo was developed and indigo plantation was no longer profitable, the landlords asked the peasants to pay them compensation for releasing them from the 15 percent arrangement.

(B) The peddler’s soul was rekindled by Edla’s kind and compassionate treatment towards him. She treated him like a real Captain even after knowing his real identity of being a rattrap seller and a thief. This awakened the frozen heart of the peddler. His thoughts for the world to be a rattrap for people changed and he rose above his petty beliefs.

(C) Life is a journey that has both good and bad included in it. Each one of us complains of failures, the failings of human nature, the hardships and the diseases that we come across through life. Still, we love life against death as it has many charms and goodness in it.

(D) The poet has used the term ‘denizens’ for tigers to say that they are the citizens of the world of green forest. She has also used the term ’chivalric’ to describe the strength, bravery and might as qualities of the tigers.

(E) Evans did not have any chance of getting through the O-level German examination as he was not capable of understanding even a simple German expression of “Guten Gluck” (Good Luck) in the chapter. He was only taking the test in an attempt to escape the prison.

(F) The friendship between Mr Lamb and Derry proves to be so fruitful as Mr Lamb gives confidence and motivation to Derry to move forward in life. Derry’s interaction / with Mr Lamb leaves a lasting imprint on the young boy’s mind.

Question 6.
Answer ANY TWO of the following in about 120 words each. (4 x 2)

(A) ‘Aunt Jennifer’s fingers fluttering through her wool’. The given statement has a literal and a metaphoric meaning. Comment on both the meanings with a rationale in about 120-150 words. (4)

(B) Gandhiji faced a lot of difficulty in Champaran. Examine Gandhiji’s efforts in the light of this statement to secure justice for the poor indigo sharecroppers of Champaran with incidents shared from the text in about 120-150 words. (4)

(C) Precautions were taken by the prison authorities to ensure that the German exam was conducted smoothly and also under strict security for Evans. Substantiate the given statement with reference to the texts from the chapter ‘Evans tries an O-Level’ in about 120-150 words. (4)
Answer:
(A) The phase ‘Aunt Jennifer’s fingers fluttering through her wool’ has two different meanings in the poem. Literally, it highlights the Aunt’s growing age and her ‘ feeble fingers that couldn’t work properly on the paneL Due to the old age, Aunt’s fingers are trembling and shivering while holding an ivory needle and she is finding it difficult to pull the needle through the wooL Metaphorically, Aunt’s fingers are shivering because she is anxious and fearful of her husband’s presence. Her husband dominates her and oppresses her in their domestic marriage life. She is a dependent and enslaved woman who is ruled over by her husband and his decisions. She had to sever to him, irrespective of her will as her responsibility of being his wife. This oppressive nature of her husband has left a scary imprint on her mind and thus, her fingers shiver while she tries to pull the needle through the wool.

(B) Gandhiji faced a lot of problems in his efforts to secure justice for the poor sharecroppers of Champaran. First, in order to have complete knowledge about the case, he wanted to gather the facts of the pact So, he visited the Secretary of British Landlord’s Association for information. But he refused to give any information to an ‘outsider’.
Then he called upon the British official commissioner of the Tirhut division who mocked and advised Gandhiji to leave Tirhut. But Gandhiji did not leave and rather proceeded to Motihari. Then, he got an official notice to quit Champaran immediately. But Gandhiji disobeyed the order and was summoned to court.

In Gandhiji’s support, several lawyers and peasants were ready to go to jail with him. This demonstration of Civil disobedience and Non-violence proved to be a great effort for the Indigo sharecroppers of Champaran.

(C) To prevent Evans from escaping the prison, the prison authorities ensured a very high security to conduct his German exam smoothly. For this, the exam was scheduled to be conducted inside his prison cell. A parson from St Mary Mags was called to be the invigilator for the exam. Evans was placed in the heavily guarded Recreational Block of the prison for security reasons. There were two locked doors between his cell and the yard, which boasted of a high wall.

On the day of his exam, all the prison officers were kept on high alert. The Governor got a microphone installed in Evans’ cell to hear everything that it said inside the celL Stephens kept peeping into the cell every few minutes to check. Two prison officers, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Stephens, thoroughly checked his cell for any sign of possible escape. His razor, nail filer and nail scissors were also taken away to ensure security.

• Attempt questions based on specific instructions for each part.

Section – A
Reading (14 Marks)

Question 1.
Read the passage given below.

Once a man saw three masons along with some laborers constructing a temple. He observed the masons for three days and found that though the three of them were doing the same kind of work, there was a marked difference in their approach towards their job. He saw that the first mason reported for his work late, did his work half-heartedly and

5. sluggishly, enjoyed a longer respite, frequently checked the time on his wristwatch and left the work before time.

The second mason was very punctual in arriving and leaving, and did his work methodically. The third mason, however, would come before time, take little rest in the interval and often worked overtime.

10. The man naturally got curious and wanted to know the three masons’ outlook on their work. He asked them what they were doing. The first mason tapped his big belly with his hand and said, “I am earning food for myself.” The second said, “I am constructing a building.” The third mason looked at the huge building 15. and said, “I am building the house of God.”

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY EIGHT questions from the nine given below.

(A) Cite a point in evidence, from the text, to suggest that the first mason’s work was not up to the mark. (1)

(B) State any one trait of the second mason that is evident from lines 5-10 and provide a reason for your choice. (1)

(C) The third mason worked ‘overtime’ for building the temple. Why did he work ‘overtime’? (1)

(D) Why does the man get curious to know the reason behind every mason’s approach towards his work? (1)

(E) Rewrite the given sentence by replacing the underlined phrase with another one, from lines 5-10.

Savita moved in a very lazy way when her mother asked her to go and clean her room. (1)

(F) What does the use of the phrase ‘frequently checked his wristwatch’ suggest in the context of the first mason? (1)

(G) Select a suitable phrase from lines 10-15 to complete the following sentence appropriately.
I ……………………… to know the details when the teacher announced the picnic for the class. (1)

(H) A worker who is uninterested in his job works half-heartedly. How can we say that the first mason was ‘uninterested’ in his work? (1)

(I) Analyse why working ‘overtime’ is one of the features that can prove the love of work for a worker. (1)
Answer:
(A) As stated in the passage, the first mason had clearly done his work ‘half-heartedly, took a long break and went home early’. This shows that his work wasn’t up to the mark.

(B) The second mason was a disciplined man, because he did his work methodically.

(C) The third mason was not working considering the building to be an ordinary construction but a house of God. So, he gave extra time to build the temple.

(D) The man got curious to know the reason behind every mason’s approach towards his work as he observed the difference among all three mason’s working style even when they all were working on the same thing.

(E) Savita moved sluggishly when her mother asked her to go and clean her room.

(F) The phrase suggests the first mason’s urge to go leave the work for the day that he had to do unwantingly in order to earn for himself and go home.

(G) naturally got curious

(H) An ‘uninterested’ worker does not want to work for long hours. He gets away for a break whenever he gets a chance and is never punctual.

(I) When a worker works ‘overtime’, he either wants to earn more money or has an actual love for his job. Otherwise, no worker wants to work more than the time given to him.

Question 2.
Read the passage given below.

The present generation is well-updated in the use of internet and computers. The rapid development in computer technology and increase in accessibility of the internet for academic purposes has changed the face of education for everyone associated with it. Let’s look at the data arising out of a recent survey that was done to ascertain the time spent on utilisation of the computer and internet:

5. At present, many schools and universities have been implementing internet-based learning, as it supplements the conventional teaching methods. The internet provides a wide variety of references and information to academics as well as scientific researchers. Students often turn to it to do their academic assignments and projects.

10. However, research on the Net is very different from traditional library research, and the differences can cause problems. The Net is a tremendous resource, but it must be used carefully and critically.

15. According to a 2018 Academic Student e-book Experience Survey, conducted by LJ’s research department and sponsored by EBSCO, when reading for pleasure, almost 74% of the respondents said they preferred print books for leisure, whereas, 45% of respond¬ents chose e-books rather than the printed versions, for research or assignments.

20. When asked what e-book features make them a favourite for research, the respondents were clear. Having page numbers to use in citations, topped the list (75%); followed by the ability to resize text to fit a device’s screen (67%); the ability to bookmark pages, highlight text, or take notes for later reference (60%); downloading the entire e-book (57%); and allowing content to be transferred between

25. devices (43%) were the varied responses. Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY SIX out of the seven questions given below.

(A) What does the researcher mean by saying that internet should be used ‘critically and carefully’? (1)
(B) Why was this survey of time spend on computer and internet undertaken? (1)
(C) With reference to fig. 1, write one conclusion about the importance of internet in the lives of people. (1)

(F) Why is ‘traditional’ used as a significant feature of a library? (1)
(G) Identify a word from lines 5-10 indicating the generic study pattern used by the schools. (1)
Answer:
(A) The researcher means that though internet has many benefits and is required everywhere today but it must be used very cautiously as it may lead to a lot of misunderstandings.

(B) The survey was undertaken to ascertain the amount of time and work done through the use of internet. It shows the rapid increase in the use of internet over a period of time.

(C) From the fig. 1, it is clear that the internet has become very important in the lives of people as it shows that a high per cent of people use internet daily in their leisure time.

(D) Computers are used for ‘academic studies’ by a large per cent, which comprises of nearly 50% of the people, using it everyday.

(E) With the recent event of the pandemic and lockdowns, the schools have turned towards the online studies with the help of the internet. This has increased the use of the internet tremendously.

Question 5.
Answer ANY FIVE of the six questions given below, with in 40 words each. (2 x 5)
(A) The peddler compared the world to a ‘rattrap’ meant for human beings. Why? (2)

(B) You are a supporter of Gandhi in his fight for justice for the sharecroppers. State a reason to let your group know why Gandhiji agreed to the planters’ offer of a 25 percent refund to the farmers.

You may start like:

Gandhiji asked the indigo planters for a 50 per cent refund to the farmers but the planters offered only 25 percent to him. However (2)

(C) Keats lists several things of beauty given to us by nature in the poem. List them. (2)

(D) The poet has used the metaphor ‘massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band’ to express the tyranny of aunt’s husband. Explain. (2)

(E) ‘All of Jack’s stories used to be on the same pattern’. Justify. (2)

(F) Rationalize what did Derry’s mother think of Mr Lamb. (2)
Answer:
(A) The peddler used to sell rattraps. Once he had a revelation that this world is a big rattrap for human beings in the form of joys, comfort and riches. These things are nothing but tempting baits which lure people towards them and when they get closer to it, it traps them inside it forever like a helpless rat.

(B) Gandhiji asked the indigo planters for a 50 per cent refund to the farmers but the planters offered only 25 per cent to him. However, Gandhiji accepted their offer because for him, the amount of the refund was of less importance but the fact that the planters had been forced to surrender a part of their rights was more important. This is the reason why he agreed to their settlement.

(C) According to Keats, there are plenty of bounties that we receive from the nature free. The sun, the moon, the shady bushes, the daffodils, the dark passages that stream make to keep themselves cool in summer, and the streams of clear water are all things of beauty for us.

(D) The poet metaphorically says that the weight of uncle’s wedding band is so heavy for Aunt because of her heavy responsibilities. She has to bear domestic tyranny of her husband and follow his orders her entire life.

(E) Jack had a similar pattern of telling story to Jo every night. The story would be about any creature named as Roger. Roger would have a problem in his life and to sort it, he would get the wise owl. The wise owl would then tell Roger to go to the wizard to help him. And the wizard would solve Roger’s problem at the end. This was the basic storyline of Jack’s stories.

(F) Derry’s mother was apprehensive of Mr Lamb. She thought that it wasn’t, right for Derry to continue meeting Mr. Lamb as she had not really heard good things about him. She had been warned by people about Mr. Lamb, so had viewed him as a suspicion.

Question 6.
Answer ANY TWO of the following in about 120 words each. (4 x 2)

(A) How does Keats show his unhappiness with his fellow human beings in the poem, ‘A Thing of Beauty? Write your answer in about 120-150 words. (4)

(B) Human being is a social animal that requires to communication with others in order to learn, teach, grow and spread love. Examine the Rattrap in the light of this statement, in about 120 – 150 words.

(C) Derry gets inclined towards Mr. Lamb in spite of being an introvert in the chapter ‘On the Face of it’. Substantiate with reference to text, in about 120-150 words. (4)
Answer:
(A) In the poem, ‘A Thing of Beauty’, Keats shows his unhappiness with his fellow human beings by stating that there is a ‘dearth of noble man’ in today’s world as there are only a few human beings who are noble in characters. Most of the men today are very selfish and opportunists who do not think about the welfare of others.

Earlier, the earth has seen men who were giving, magnanimous and kind in nature. They rose above the petty differences by being caring and loving towards each other. Unlike them, today’s men are very self-centered and unkind to the human nature. They even destroy the beautiful bounties of nature for their own happiness.

(B) Human being is a social animal that requires to communication with others in order to learn, teach, grow and spread love. No human can live a serene life if he is isolated. Similarly, in the story ‘The Rattrap’, we see three incidences where the consequences are aresult of human’s loneliness.

First of all, the rattrap seller, who came up with a thought that this world is he rattrap itself in the form of riches. It lures human beings with the help of money, materials and joys as baits. People, who try to get this worldly happiness, get trapped and lost inside it forever. He had this negative relevation because he was lonely man who was left with his thoughts alone.

Next was the lonesome retired crofter who craved for a human company. It was because of the desire of having a friend that made the crofter trust a complete stranger. He showed his private earnings to the peddler and as a result, lost all his earnings to him.

In the end, we also find that the ironmaster and his daughter were lonely. They had nobody to spend their Christmas Eve with, so, they insisted that the peddler should spend Christmas Eve with them even after knowing that he was a thief.

(C) Derry is an introvert due to his disability. He doesn’t like to be around people because they consider him frightful and ugly. They avoid him as they are afraid of him. His parents seem to be worried about him and his future. But one thing that inclines Derry to Mr. Lamb is that both Derry and Mr. Lamb suffer from physical impairment. While Derry has one side of his face disfigured and burnt by acid, the Mr. Lamb has a leg of tin because his real leg got blown off during the war. Also, apart from the physical disabilities, Derry finds signs of loneliness and disappointment in Mr. Lamb’s life that is quite similar to his own but Mr. Lamb’s approach towards his life is very positive, different than Derry’s.

Mr. Lamb provides Derry with a new approach to things. He tells him to see, hear, feel and think about things around him. He should not hate others as hatred is worse than acid because it bums the inside of a person. He told Derry that he has all the God-given limbs. He must work towards making his life better. Mr. Lamb’s positivity and understanding of Derry as a person inclines Derry towards Mr. Lamb.

Answer:
Switch: It is a multi-port bridge with a buffer and a design that can boost its efficiency and performance. It is a data link layer device. The switch can perform error checking before forwarding data which makes it very efficient as it does not forward packets that have errors and forward good packets selectively to correct port only. In other words, switch divides collision domain of hosts.

Gateway: It is a passage to connect two networks together that may work upon different networking models. It basically works as the messenger agents between systems that takes data from one system, interprets it and transmits it to the other system. It is also called protocol converter. It can operate at any network layer. It is more complex than the switch.

I saw ‘Jaws’, the popular shark movie, the summer it came out, in 1975 and became paranoid about sharks. Though I kept swimming after Jaws, it was always with the vague fear that a shark’s teeth could tug on my leg at any moment. Never mind that there’d

5. been only two shark bites since 1900 on the Connecticut coast, where I lived.

So, when I got this assignment for the National Geographic magazine. I decided to accept and do what I’d never wanted to do: swim with the sharks. I had to go to a place in the Bahamas known as Tiger Beach and dive with tiger sharks, the species responsible for more

10. recorded attacks on humans than any shark except the great white. It was to be my first dive after getting certified – which meant it would be my first dive anywhere other than a swimming pool or a quarry – and without a diver’s cage. Most people who got wind of this plan thought I was either very brave or very stupid.

15. But I just wanted to puncture an illusion. The people who know sharks intimately tend to be the least afraid of them, and no one gets closer to sharks than divers. The divers who run operations at Tiger Beach speak lovingly of the tiger sharks the way people talk about their children or their pets. In their eyes, these sharks aren’t man-eaters any more than dogs are.

20. The business of puncturing illusions is never just black and white. My fellow divers had hundreds of dives under their belt and on the two-hour boat ride to the site in the morning of our first dive, they kept saying things like, “Seriously, I really can’t believe this is your first dive.” All this was okay with me until I reached the bottom and immediately had to fend off

25. the first tiger shark, I had ever laid eyes on. However, when I watched the other divers feeding them fish and steering them gently, it became easy to see the sharks in a very benign light.

I think it would be unfair not to mention that though tiger sharks are apex predators, they act as a crucial balancing force

30. in ocean ecosystems, constraining the numbers of animals like sea turtles and limit their behaviour by preventing them from overgrazing the sea grass beds. Furthermore, tiger sharks love warm water, they eat almost anything, have a huge litter and are the hardiest shark species. If the planet and its oceans continue to warm, some species will be winners and others will be losers, and tiger sharks are likely to be winners.

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY EIGHT questions from the nine given below. (1 x 8)

(H) Apex predators serve to keep prey numbers in check. How can we say that tiger sharks are apex predators? (1)
Answer:

• Because tiger sharks restrict the number of sea turtles (by feeding on them), and act as a balancing force in the ecosystem. If the numbers weren’t constrained, it would result in the depletion of sea-grass which supports other marine life forms.

Detailed Explanation: Tiger sharks restrict the number of sea turtles by feeding on them and thus, act as a balancing force in the ecosystem. If the numbers of the turtles weren’t constrained, it would result in the depletion of sea-grass which supports other marine life forms.

Answer:

• Reduces the possibility of extinction or destruction due to harsh conditions, as large numbers would ensure that some definitely survive.

5. processed foods thus increasing the risk of chronic diseases in urban IndiAnswer: Therefore, nurturing healthy eating habits among Indians from an early age would help to reduce health risks.

To date, little is known about the quality and quantity of foods and beverages consumed by urban Indian adolescents. This lack of evidence

10. is a significant barrier to the development of effective nutrition promotion and disease prevention measures.

Interestingly, while there were no gender differences in the consumption of legumes and fried snacks, the survey found more females consumed cereals, vegetables and fruits than their male counterparts.

In conclusion, the report suggested that schools ought to incorporate food literacy concepts into their curriculum as they have the potential of increasing the fruit and vegetable intake in teenagers. Additionally, healthy school canteen policies with improved availability, accessibility, variety and affordability of healthy food choices would support the consumption of nutritious food in students.

Or
What is WWW? Also, explain HTML and URI.
Answer:
Needs of computer networking are as
follows
(a) Resource Sharing Computer networking also allows the sharing of network resources, such as printers, scanners, dedicated servers, backup systems, input devices and Internet connections. By sharing resources, unique equipment like scanners, printers etc., can be made available to all network users simultaneously without being relocated, eliminating the need for expensive redundancies.

Data Protection and Redundancy Computer networking allows users to distribute copies of important information across multiple locations, ensuring essential information is not lost with the failure of any one computer in the network. By utilising central backup systems both on-site and off-site, unique documents and data can be gathered automatically from every computer in the network and securely backed up in case of physical computer damage or accidental deletion.
Or

• The World Wide Web (WWW) or Web in short, is an ocean of information, stored in the form of trillions of interlinked web pages and web resources.
• The resources on the web can be shared or accessed through the Internet.
• HTML HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a language, which is used to design standardised web pages so that the web contents can be read and understood from any computer. Basic structure of every web page is designed using HTML.
• URI Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a unique address or path for each resource located on the web. It is also known as Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Every page on the web has a unique URL. For example, https://www.mhrd.gov.in, http:// www.ncert. nic.in, http://www.airindia.in, etc.

(ii) What do you mean by bandwidth and data transfer rate of a channel?
Answer:
In data communication, the transmission medium is also known as channel. The capacity of a channel is the maximum amount of signals or traffic that a channel can carry. It is measured in terms of bandwidth and data transfer rate as described below
Bandwidth Bandwidth of a channel is the range of frequencies available for transmission of data through that channel. Higher the bandwidth, higher the data transfer rate. Normally, bandwidth is the difference of maximum and minimum frequency contained in the composite signals. Bandwidth is measured in Hertz (Hz).

• 1 kHz =1000 Hz
• 1 MHz =1000 kHz = 1000000 Hz

Data Transfer Rate: Data travels in the form of signals over a channel. One signal carries one or more bits over the channel. Data transfer rate is the number of bits transmitted between source and destination in one second. It is also known as bit rate. It is measured in terms of bits per second (bps). The higher units for data transfer rates are

• 1 Kbps = 2¹⁰ bps=1024 bps
• 1 Mbps = 2²⁰ bps=1024 Kbps
• 1 Gbps = 2³⁰ bps=1024 Mbps
• 1 Tbps = 2⁴⁰ bps=1024 Gbps
