Read the passage given below. (10)<\/strong><br \/>\n(1) Ghost nets aren\u2019t supernatural, but they are legitimately scary. A ghost net is a fishing net that\u2019s been lost or abandoned in the ocean. They are one particularly appalling part of the global ghost fishing problem, which includes fishing gear abandoned in the water. Any net or line left in the ocean can pose a threat to marine life. Just because a net is no longer used by fishers doesn\u2019t mean it stops working. These nets continue to trap everything in their path, presenting a major problem for the health of our oceans and marine life.<br \/>\n(2) Ghost nets entangle sea turtles, dolphins and porpoises, birds, sharks, seals and more, apart from catching fish. The nets keep animals from moving freely, cause injuries and keep mammals and birds from rising to the surface for air. Since hundreds of animals can be caught in a single net, this threat is monumental. The ghost nets harm coral reefs too\u2014breaking corals, exposing them to disease and even blocking the reefs from needed sunlight.<br \/>\n(3) Ghost nets are also a major contributor to the ocean plastics\u2019 crisis. Most modern nets are made of nylon or other plastic compounds that can last for centuries. According to a 2018 study in Scientific Reports, ghost nets make up at least 46 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Those abandoned fishing lines and nets that do breakdown never go away; they just become smaller pieces of plastic. Marine animals mistake this microplastic for food and eat it, which can harm internal organs, keep them from eating and expose them to toxic chemicals.<br \/>\n(4) Exorcising ghost nets from our oceans will require commitment, cooperation and innovation. Many groups are working to remove ghost nets from the sea and are collaborating with local fishers and governments around the world to identify target areas and remove as many nets as possible. In 2015, a single World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF)-led mission in the Baltic Sea hauled up 268 tons of nets, ropes and other material.<br \/>\n(5) To stop these nets from becoming ghosts in the first place, conservation organisations advocate for fishing gear that can be traced to its owner so anyone dumping nets can be fined and refundable deposits on nets to encourage returning or recycling rather than littering. Tools like sonar reflectors that can make ghost nets easier to find and working with small-scale fisheries to develop more sustainable fishing gear and practices are other suggestions. It is only by attacking this problem from all sides, together with conservation partners, fishers and supporters, can we banish ghost nets and protect our oceans.<br \/>\n(437 words)<br \/>\nAdapted\u2014https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/stories\/our-oceans-are-haunted-by-ghost-nets-why-that-s-scary-andwhat-we-can-do\u201424<\/p>\n<p><strong>Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the questions given below. 1&#215;10<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-roman;\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Complete the sentence by choosing an appropriate option.<br \/>\nGhost nets have been named so because they ________<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: upper-alpha;\" start=\"1\">\n<li>cause much harm to the marine life.<\/li>\n<li>are functional though not in use by fishers.<\/li>\n<li>are not owned by anyone.<\/li>\n<li>act as a snare for all animals in oceans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Comment on the writer\u2019s reference to the ghost nets in paragraph one, as a health problem for the oceans.<\/li>\n<li>List the two ways being entangled in a ghost net is likely to impact a walrus.(Clue: Think about the type of animal a walrus is)<\/li>\n<li>Select the option that conveys the opposite of \u2018negligible\u2019, from words used in<br \/>\nparagraph two.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: upper-alpha;\" start=\"1\">\n<li>unimpressive<\/li>\n<li>monumental<\/li>\n<li>exposing<\/li>\n<li>threat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>The writer would not agree with the given statements based on paragraph three,<br \/>\nEXCEPT:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: upper-alpha;\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Most ghost nets take a few years to completely disintegrate.<\/li>\n<li>Ghost nets contribute to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.<\/li>\n<li>Most ghost nets provide nutrition to marine animals, upon disintegration.<\/li>\n<li>Ghost nets can curtail freedom of marine animals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Some records share that fishing nets used to be made of common rope using natural fibres, prior to the 1960s.

Read the passage given below. (10)<\/strong><br \/>\n(1) It is generally accepted that leadership development should be a part of the education system&#8217;s responsibility for preparing individuals to participate in a democratic and progressive society. Many schools, colleges and universities, across nations, provide their students with leadership courses, curricular programs and co-curricular programs that are designed to develop students\u2019 formal knowledge about leadership as well as opportunities and experiences to develop students as leaders and actually practise leadership. Yet, only a handful of studies have sought to understand leader development from the students\u2019 point of view, with students describing their own experiences and what they learned from them in their own words.<br \/>\n(2) A 2014 descriptive study sought to understand student leadership with research through key events via the following research questions:<br \/>\n<strong>Research Question 1:<\/strong> What key events do student leaders in college, report as significantly<br \/>\nimpacting their development as a leader?<br \/>\n<strong>Research Question 2:<\/strong> What lessons do student leaders in college, report learning as a result of the key events they have experienced?<br \/>\n<strong>Research Question 3:<\/strong> Are certain key events more likely to be linked to particular lessons?<br \/>\nApproximately 130 students were contacted and the 72 interested, were interviewed.
