Anne Frank’s family was forced to hide from the Gestapo.

Answer:

C. Otto Frank had business connections in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
i. Polythene shopping bags and wrappers are a potential threat to urban environment. Once you have discarded them after use, you do not lose your link with them. They return to you in a variety of ways, though you do not realise it. For example, they choke your drains and provide breeding facilities to deadly germs.
ii. A recent study has shown that about 250 tonnes of plastic waste come out of various colonies of major cities every day. This disrupts the sewer system, the essential arteries of city life, choke the land mass and clog the pores of the wetlands.
iii. Unfortunately, even the villages and small towns are not free from this danger. Millions of people returning to their home towns everyday carry their shopping in colourful bags. This pleases their family and children, who after preserving them for a time dispose them in wells, rivers, tanks and drains. Many throw them off into the fields. They do it with a sense of pride, to show off. When their neighbours see that their men from the cities regularly send them those good things of life, they are impressed.
iv. All over the world the worst offenders are the upper income groups of the so-called posh colonies. Though educated, the residents of these affluent areas are unaware of the damage done by the plastic bags. Millions of children in schools carry their lunch boxes in plastic bags. They callously throw them away and cause an unhealthy environment.
v. As it is convenient for mothers to wrap the food in plastic, it is difficult to persuade them against doing this. According to a drill master of a school, it becomes a drill to clean the fields after the children leave. When the midday meal scheme is fully implemented, it must be seen that no plastic wrappers are used.
vi. As these wrappers are light in weight, they are borne aloft by the wind causing visual shocks. Unlike cotton or paper bags they remain undissolved in the mud and stop rain water from seeping deep in the earth. This affects the natural growth of greenery.
Questions:
a. How do polythene bags become health hazards?
b. What are the findings of the latest research about plastic waste?
c. How do the school children pollute the environment?
d. How do plastic bags hamper the growth of greenery?
e. Find the synonyms for the following words from the given passage:
thrown & wealthy
f. Find the antonyms for the following words from the given passage:
poor & shame
g. Give an appropriate title to the passage.
h. Write the meanings of the following words and frame sentences which should not match the content of the passage.
Damage & posh
i. Give the essence of the passage in not more than 75 words.

Q1. Read the following text critically and answer the questions given below.

In its widest sense, government means the framework and rules by which decisions that affect a community as a whole are arrived at and carried out. In a narrower sense, however, government is a person or body of persons giving effect to the framework or rules. There are different forms of governments depending on the manner in which a government is run such as monarchies, military dictatorships, civilian dictatorships and democracies. Monarchs, military men and civilian dictators often wield unlimited power which might result into tyranny and despotism. A democratically elected government exercises power and authority granted by the constitution and traditions.

A government is good, if it aims for the good of the people . The primary objectives for which such a government comes into existence are to maintain the rule of law look after its citizens without discrimination and fulfill their needs and work toward the establishment of welfare programs for the people. Only a government that has come into existence as an expression of the will of the people and adopts policies for the welfare of the people will have popular support. For this reason, a democratically elected government is certainly preferable to a benevolent dictatorship.

In the real world there are three important qualities which citizens look for in their governments. The first is that the government should be representative; the second, that it should provide a reasonable degree of stability; and the third that it should look after the wellbeing of its citizens.

The citizens of a country may sometimes demand policies that are short-sighted and disastrous in the long run. This is often seen in regard to economic policies. A good government is one that formulates and implements policies that are beneficial for the citizens and also ensure future prosperity of the country. That is to say, a good government should be expected to think for the future as well as act for the present requirements - about defense, economic development, education and employment.

A good government should rise above the narrow views of the people and take measures, however unpopular and repugnant they may be when they are taken, to solve present problems and ensure a bright future. It must be prepared to accept constructive criticism and enter into a dialogue with dissident groups with a view to making its policies and measures acceptable. It always aims at the good of the people. The men and women forming such a government are persons who have the support of the people with them in good or bad times.

To conclude, it may be said that a representative government i.e. a democratically elected government which is stable and which can act with circumspection and vision for the prosperity and welfare of its citizens as well as for the future of the nation as a whole is to be considered a good government. A good government should therefore take cognizance of what years ago Jean- Paul Rousseau wrote in his Du Contract Social about the ultimate source of authority of a good government. According to him, the government is only an agent of the people in whom vests the ultimate source of authority and for whom the government is functioning.
