Question 3 (B) Imagine that you are researching the effects of a post-pandemic world on new-born  children. Referring to the fear of the unborn child in the poem Ans - After this huge pandemic situation, there must be changes in the world. The living style of every person has changed because of the safety standards and precautions. It changed the life of every person in a different manner but the life of an unborn child would be different because he had never seen the life before this huge pandemic situation. They see the world from a different angle. Life has become hard and, through these di­ficult times. One priority the challenge is identifying and discussing pandemic-related factors that can negatively affect children’s growth and development and impair each child’s full potential, in order to develop prevention strategies that enable a healthier and more productive population over both the short and long term. Children tend to be affected mildly. Relatively few children ...

B. Imagine you are the District Collector and wish to express your views on working in remote desert areas, interacting with the local people and their culture. You may write in 350- 500 words using essay, or novel, or dialogue format.   The climate in the deserts is extreme. The summers are very hot and dry. Sandstorms are common in this season. Water becomes scarce and in many places, there is a severe drought. Most places receive little or no rainfall. The winter days are sunny and cool. At night, because the sand cools down quickly, it becomes bitterly cold.  There are no permanent rivers in the deserts due to very poor rainfall. But in some places, the underground water rises to the surface. This forms small pools of water right in the middle of the desert. Such a place is called an oasis. Deserts are stretches of sandy or rocky land where rain and vegetation are scarce. Sometimes there is nothing for miles except mounds of sand. These are called dunes. Rajasthan, a state...

  B. Imagine you are the narrator of passage 1. Write a diary entry in about 350-500 words describing a typical day in your house. Dear diary,   Today I wake up early and see my father coming back from a very old mosque about 4 miles from our home after reading namaz and he brings a dozen coconuts tied together thrown over his shoulder. I don’t know the exact number of people my mother fed outsiders but I am quite certain that far more than all the members of our own family put together. after feeding all the outsiders I and my mother ate together, sitting on the floor of the kitchen. She places a banana leaf before me, on which she then ladled rice and aromatic sambhar, a variety of sharp, home-made pickles, and a dollop of fresh coconut chutney and it is was soo delicious and after that, I played with other children from our locality.   In the evening me and my father take me for evening prayers in our locality where we all neighbors. I had no idea about the m...

  Question 6 (A)What are the narrator’s views on his ‘saheb’? Do you agree with the narrator’s view when  he says, “I, for one, always keep to my place, always observe decorum.”?........ The narrator thinks sahib like the same pattern things. He likes dak Bangla's. sahib likes the old place very much more than his comfortable bungalow at the headquarters. he has an odd liking for queer places, uncouth people. If he didn’t, would he choose to be buried in this place instead of staying peacefully at the headquarters like other sahebs if his clothes are not ironed properly or his shoes not shined enough or if the driver shows up ten MINUTES LATE. YES, I AGREE WITH THE NARRATOR VIEWS   “I, for one, always keep to my place, always observe decorum’’. A young man needs to go out once in a while with his mates, watch a movie, have a few drinks, that kind of thing. Instead, in these places, after ironing Saheb’s clothes and making his bed and arranging his papers and arguing wit...

A. “The narrator of passage 1 comes from a happy, cultured family.” Comment on the given statement, with examples from the passage . My father, Jainulabdeen, had neither much formal education nor much wealth; despite these disadvantages, he possessed great innate wisdom and a true generosity of spirit. He had an ideal helpmate in my mother, Ashiamma. I do not recall the exact number of people she fed every day, but I am quite certain that far more outsiders ate with us than all the members of our own family put together.   My parents were widely regarded as an ideal couple. My mother’s lineage was the more distinguished, one of her forebears having been bestowed the title of ‘Bahadur’ by the British. I was one of many children—a short boy with rather undistinguished looks, born to tall and handsome parents. We lived in our ancestral house, which was built in the middle of the 19 th century. It was a fairly large pucca house, made of limestone and brick, on the Mosque Street ...

  Prayer Before Birth  Q3 (A)  In the Poem (passage 2), the phrase “I am not yet born; oh hear me” is repeated throughout  the poem. What effect does this paradoxical refrain create in the poem?...... "Prayer Before Birth" is a poem by the Anglo-Irish poet Louis MacNeice, written during World War II and first published in MacNeice's 1944 collection  Springboard . The speaker, an unborn child, prays for future guidance and protection from the horrors of the modern world, and possesses great foresight about humankind's capacity for self-destruction and violence. The speaker ultimately insists that, if this prayer cannot be answered, the speaker would rather not be born at all. The poem is thus a damning condemnation of the state humanity found itself in around the middle of the 20th century. The speaker makes a desperate plea (most likely to God, given that this is a “prayer”) asking for strength and guidance to navigate the world—a frightening, violent place in t...

  5 Democracy is thriving when people are aware of their duties and rights and the ways to fulfill their responsibilities. Discuss the role of Education in the same .   Shivaji was born in the hill-fort of Shivner near Poona in 1627. Soon Shahji, his father, moved to his new Jagir with his second wife leaving Shivaji and his mother Jija Bai under the guardianship of an able Brahmana, Dadaji Khondev. India at that time was under the Muslim rulers, the Mughals in the north and the Muslim Sultans of Bijapur and Golkunda in the south. All three ruled by right of conquest and made no pretence that they had any obligation towards the ruled. His mother, a maverick Hindu woman, groomed him right from birth to fight for the rights of the oppressed Hindus and overthrow the Muslim rulers. At the age of 12, Shivaji was assigned the Jagir of Poona by his father. By the time he was 16, he was committed that he was the divinely appointed instrument for the cause of Hindu freedom – a conv...

  B.A PROGRAME Q 3 :-Critically evaluate Factors affecting a child’s access to different levels of education. Education is a lasting process. Academic performance in primary education plays a crucial role in obtaining further educational opportunities. Thus, it is necessary to examine how family background affects children’s academic achievement at an early stage. Through analysis of data from the Chinese Family Panel Study in 2010(CFPS2010), this paper proposes two pathways through which family influences children’s academic performance. Firstly, parents compete for high-quality educational opportunities for their children and better educational opportunities lead to better academic performance. Secondly, parenting behavior and educational support for their children could cultivate children’s learning habits and affect academic performance. We also find urban students’ academic performance are more heavily affected by their families’ socioeconomic status compared with rural st...
