1. Read the following excerpt from an article that
appeared in the magazine section of a local daily.
The ban on single-use plastic is impractical. The
purpose of articles such as bags and packing material
is ultimately to make human life easier Plastic articles
make this convenient, so they shouldn't be banned.
Write an analytical paragraph for the given argument.
You could give rationale/evidence that would
counter/strengthen the argument. (cose 2023)
Ans. The given lines exclaim that the ban on single-use
plastic Is impractical as Ithas made human life easter
From the very beginning in the morning and working
throughout the day till night. we are surrounded by the
substance named plastic. It is unavoidable however it
cannot be denied that plastic is a threat even bigger
than that of anything else. Single-use plastic takes,
hundreds of years to decompose. and much of it ends
Up in our oceans, harming marine life and disrupting
ecosystems. Additionally. the production of plastic
Tequires significant amounts of fossil fuels and
contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, Alternatives
to single-use plastic, such a5 reusable bags and
biodegradable packaging, are readily avallable and can
provide the same convenience without the negative
environmental impact. Therefore. the ban on single-
use plastic is not only practical but also necessary for
our planet. The need of the hour in India is strict laws
and their enforcement. However. plastic even then
shall continue to be in use at the ground reality until
the perfect substitute of plastic Is invented.

in households in a metropolitan city in India. Study
the information carefully and write a paragraph

Consumption of water In households of metropolitan

‘The consumption of water is maxinum in toilet with
a percentage of 26. The modern sewer system has
tended the more use of water. 2256 of water Is used
in clothes wasting as here also tre use oF ButomOBE
washing machines in these blg cities is done in a
considerable amount and this implies too much
wastage of water than the actual consumption.
Ukewlse, we came to observe that besides water
being used in bath for 2%. 16% of water Is used
in shower, THs car be-conddered ar urwi- ect
especially by the educated people of such big cities.
Every time when there is an appeal for preserving
water for future, shower is always suggested to be
replaced by the use of bucket and mug for bathing
Perhaps, it fell in dat years, Water used generally
through taps or faucets is 17%, Water consumption
in dishwashing Is 19 of the total consumption,
Water used for other activities is 2% which might
be used for cooking purpose. drinking purpose or
watering plants, etc. We come across another grim,
reality of not the water consumption but actually. the
water wastage through the leaks which contribute
to 14% and consequently becomes a concern which
needs Immediate attention. Majority of educated
and sophisticated people reside in metropoltan

Ans. The given table contains data related to_annual
increase in the number of vehicles in majar Indian
cities,
The data has been presented in descending order of
population of 4 major metrapalitan cities of India,
Te, Mumbai, Kolkata. Delhi and Chennai. The
passengers have been categorised into two on the
basis of purpose of purchase. ie, whether a person
Is making purchase privately or for intermediate
purpose. Under private purposes, the two wheelers,
cars and jeeps have been taken into comparison
Under intermediate purpose. taxls and three
wheelers have been taken into consideration. it can
be deemed that the vehicles under intermediate
will be used for commercial purpose or for resale
purpose
IF the scenario of Mumbal Is observed, the increase
in number of two wheelers is roughly double the
‘number of increase of cars and |eeps, whereas there
Is no increase observed in taxis and three wheelers.
If we compare and analyse the statistics of Kolkata
the number of private vehicles has been similar with
lust a difference of 196,
Whereas the rate at which the annual increase Is
observed in three wheelers is 3 times the number
of taxis in Kolkata
AAs far as Delhi's annual increase in the number of
vehicles 5 concerned, the similar increase could
be observed in the three wheelers and the two
wheelers with just a difference of 0.5%. Delhi
reports the minimum number of annual increase in
tauls, However, the maximum annual increase in the
‘number of taxis Is observed in Chennai with 36.6%.
Chennai has the maximum annual increase in most
types of vehicles as in contrast with the other three
cities. The minimum increase has been observed in
three wheelers in Chennai

Ans. The double bar graphllustrates the percentage growth
in different sectors in a developing country over 2
ten-year period. fram 2012 to 2022. The graph clearly
indicates that the education sector experienced the
highest percentage growth in 2012. with a percentage
of 25%, but decreased to 13% by 2022. On the other

rate of 18% in 2012. which increased to 20% by 2022
The government sector remained stable at 18%. The

6. Given below are the pollution figures for some major
towns and cities in India:
‘Suspended

Sulphur J Nitrogen

Ludhiana
Dethi
Chennai
Ans. The_given
figures for suspended particulate matter, sulphur
dioxide and nitrogen oxide in major Indian cities, These
figures are a cause of concern. The permissible limits
for these pollutants are 200, 80 and 80 respectively.
However, Ludhiana, Delhi. Mumbai and Chennai have
reported higher levels than the permissible limits.
Delhi exceeds the permissible Umits of suspended
particulate matter, sulphur dioxide. and nitrogen oxide
bya huge margin ands clearly the most polluted city.
‘The high levels of pollution in Delhi can be attributed
to a range of factors such as vehicular emissions,
industrial activities and construction work. Mumbai
and Ludhiana also report alarming levels of suspended
articulate matter Chennai, on the other hand. 1s,
somewhat lower in terms of suspended particulate
matter. From the figures it Is obvious that the issue of
pollution in indian cities requires immediate attention
and action. Measures such as promoting public
transportation, stricter regulations for industries, and
yromoting renewable energy sources will surely help
In addressing this problem.

10. Read the following excerpt from an ontine post of a
website on educational practices.
Kids who appreciate how much effort, time and
care goes into growing food will understand how
important farmers are, and why it’s important to take
care of our Earth. In the world of today, gardening
needs to be given more importance than sports,
music and dance in all schools because it creates
environmental stewards and outdoor learning
laboratories that help the child and community for
years to come.
Write a paragraph to analyse the given argument.
You could think about what alternative explanations
might weaken the given conclusion and include
rationale/evidence that would strengthen/counter
the given argument. (cose Sop 2022-23)
‘Ans. FOR: It is rightly sald that in the world of today,
gardening needs to be given more importance than
sports, music and dance in all schools. Sports, music
and dance contribute only towards personal growth
while the current times need attention towardsan issue
LL Tsering, of class X, is conte:
that is global in nature. With growing food wastage
in many homes today, the efforts of the farmers are
discredited. Gardening at school will open a world of
first-hand learning experiences of sowing, watering
‘and harvesting processes. it will inculcate sensitivity
patience. empathy, gratitude and value for one's hard
work They will feel accountable for Mother Earth. It
will make them efficient and create environmental
stewards. Unlike sports. music or dance. gardening,
goes beyond just enjoyment to create aware and
responsible citizens of the future.
oR
AGAINST: Gardening, definitely, should not be given
precedence over sports, music and dance in all
schools. Gardening will require good planning with
hands-on guidance and continued supervision by the
teachers, The slow growth progress of plants as well
as_continuous hard work will make students lose
intrest. Small targets or goals would be missing
wheraas the danger of destruction of their work due
to rains. intrusion of grazing animals or a pest attack
is [ust Uke to set in a feeling of defeat. On the other
hand sports. music and dance are uplifting activities
which display faster results. are enjoyable and
inculcate team spirit, collaboration and confidence
These activities help students express and de-stress
successfully. So, maintaining thelr due importance in
the school’s co-curriculum is vital.

Tsering sensitivity, while admirable. may hinder her

leadership skills. While her willingness to help peers
is commendable, it may also distract her from her
responsibilties as the School Captain. Finally, Tsering’s
focus on the excellent outcome of tasks assigned
