    ANSWER
    I. Read the passage given below. Marooned in the South Atlantic Ocean between Argentina and Antarctica, the glaciated peaks and billowing tundra grasses of South Georgia cast a dramatic scene. Though the crescent-shaped island is technically a British Overseas Territory, it’s also claimed by Argentina and is so remote and hard to get to that many people have never even heard of it. There’s no airport, so the only access is by boat from Tierra del Fuego or the Falkland Islands, a journey of at least two days and nights across some of the roughest seas in the world. But South Georgia’s remote location is the island’s secret blessing, because here, well away from humans, nature is flourishing. In fact, South Georgia has such a stunning and surprising array of biodiversity that this near-Antarctic oasis is often referred to as “The Galapagos of the Poles”. Located about 1,000 km east of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia is the largest dot in a spectacularly picturesque but inhospitable archipelago called South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. It’s about 160km from tip to toe and covers an area of about 3,527 sq km. The island was first spotted by sailors in the 17th Century, but it wasn’t until 1775 that Captain James Cook made the first landing. It’s a harsh but magnificent environment, where snow-capped mountains more than 2,000 m tall plunge into deep fjords, and crystal blue glaciers calve into the frigid waters with a thundering rumble. Three-fourths of the island is covered in permanent ice and snow; and with no major land masses nearby for protection, it’s frequently battered by vicious South Atlantic winds. South Georgia has no permanent residents. Around 30 people live here temporarily, made up of scientists at the King Edward Point research base and summer staff who manage the visitor centre and museum for the few tourists willing and able to make the long journey. They come on small cruise ships or yachts, crossing from Ushuaia, Argentina, via the Falkland Islands and then on to Antarctica. But there is no accommodation on the island for visitors, and access is restricted, with landings limited to just 100 people on shore for no more than a few hours at a time. All this makes South Georgia one of the least-visited tourist destinations in the world, with only around 10,000 visitors last year. Remarkably, this inhospitable frozen rock is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. In 2011, a British Antarctic Survey study identified almost 1,500 different animal species in and around the island – from tinyworms to mammoth blue whales – leading scientists to conclude that South Georgia boasts more biodiversity than the Galapagos Islands. South Georgia’s surprising array of life stems from its proximity to the Antarctic Convergence, a natural boundary where the warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the colder waters of the Southern Ocean. The resulting nutrient-rich currents create perfect conditions for Antarctic krill, which then attract predators like fish, whales, seals and penguins.

    Sometimes I think Grand Central is growing like a tree, pushing out new corridors and staircases like roots. There's probably a long tunnel that nobody knows about feeling its way under the city right now, on its way to Times Square, and maybe another to Central Park. And maybe - because for so many people through the years Grand Central has been an exit, a way of escape - maybe that's how the tunnel I got into... But I never told my psychiatrist friend about that idea. (i) The above extract is NOT an example of. (a) allegory (b) analogy (c) metaphor (d) imagery (ii) Charley decided not to tell his psychiatrist friend about his idea. Choose the option that reflects the reaction Charley anticipated from his friend. (a) "That's such a lovely comparison. Why don't you become a writer, Charley?" (b) "Oh Charley. It is so sad to see your desperation to run away! So very sad." (c) "Maybe that's how you entered the third level. Who would have thought?!" (d) "You need help, my raving friend.

    The significance and responsibility or role of education is very high. Education is very much important in our life. We should never underestimate the importance of education in life be it any education, formal or informal. Formal education is the education we get from school colleges etc. and the informal one is from parents, friends, elders, etc.

     

    Education has become a part of our life as education now a day is needed everywhere it is literally a part of our life. Education is important to be in this world with contentment and affluence. To become successful, we need to be educated first in this generation. Without education, people will dislike you think you as a majority, etc. Also, education is significant for the individual, communal and monetary development of the country or nation.

     

    The worth of education and its consequence can be unstated as of the truth that the minute we are born; our parents begin educating us about a vital thing in life. A toddler starts learning innovative words and develops a vocabulary based on what his parents teach him.

     

    Educated people make the country more developed. So education is also important to make the country more developed. Importance of education can’t be felt unless you study about it. Educated citizens build up high-quality political philosophy. This automatically means that education is responsible for the high-quality political philosophy of a nation, state a particular place doesn’t matter of its area. Now a day the standard of someone is also judged by someone’s education qualification which I think is right because education is very important and everyone should feel the importance of education.

     

    The obtainable learning or educational system today has been abridged to a swap of commands or instructions and information and not anything extra. But if we compare today’s educational system with the before ones that are in previous times the purpose of education was to instill high-quality or superior or good values and ethics or principles or morality or simply morals in an individual’s consciousness. Today we have drifted away from this ideology because of the rapid commercialization in the education segment.

     

    People suppose that an educated being is one who is able to become accustomed to his situations as per the necessity. People should be able to make use of their skills and their education to conquer difficult blockage or obstacle in any area of their life so that they can take the correct decision at that correct moment. All this quality makes a person an educated person.

     

    A good education makes an individual develops socially. Economically

    ANSWER
    UNSEEN PASSAGE- 1 Attempt any 8 questions out of 10 [8 Marks] (I) Human beings are in the process of dramatically reshaping the Earth's ecosystems. As far back as the 19th century, some scientists have noted that the current era is defined mainly bh the impact of human activity. Now, there is an emerging consensus among Earth scientists that we have indeed entered a new period of geological time, the Anthropocene epoch. (II) Scientists who study the history of the Earth usually divide the geological time according to major changes to the biology and climate of the Earth. For instance, the ancient Cambrian period, some 500 million years ago, is distinguished by a sudden explosion in the diversity of life, including the emergence of the ancestors of many modern species. More recently, the Pleistocene epoch, which ended about ten thousand years ago, is notable for the glaciers that swept over much of the Earth. The new Anthropocene epoch would be distinguished from all earlier times in Earth's history by the dramatic impacts of human activity on the Earth. (III) Though Earth scientists debate exactly when the Anthropocene began, there is a clear consensus that human changes to the environment are real and extreme. For one, many life forms have become, and are becoming, extinct as a result of human activity. For this reason, some palaeontologists argue that the human impacts of the Anthropocene began at the end of the last Ice Age, around ten thousand years ago. The fossil record indicates that around that time, many large animals, such as woolly mammoths and giant sloths, went extinct shortly after humans arrived in their ranges. (IV) The pace of human-caused extinctions has only increased in the past several hundred years. The growth and spread of human populations, caused by advances in seafaring technology and agriculture, has led to overexploitation of fraglie ecosystems, introduction of invasive species, and pollution, causing many extinctions. The international Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has found that, of species surveyed on its "Red List", about a fifth of all mammals and reptiles and nearly a third of amphibians are in danger of extinction. (V) This ongoing rapid loss of species has been described as a mass extinction, as servere as the event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. To some ecologists, this steep decline in biodiversity suggests that the Anthropocene epoch began in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the rate of extinction shot up dramatically. (VI) Human activity is also altering the climate as a whole. Since the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, humans have significantly altered the atmosphere by mining and burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Some by-products of the use of these fuels, such as carbon dioxide, are greenhouse gases that trap solar energy on Earth. To assess the impact of these greenhouse gases on the Earth, scientists have had to investigate the history of the Earth's climate. Ice cores, samples of ice layers that have trapped atmospheric chemicals over time, have supplied scientists with millennia of year-by-year information about greenhouse gas concentrations and atmospheric temperature. (VII) Evidence from ice cores clearly shows that the Industrial Revolution brought about a sudden jump in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, along with an increase in temperatures. A scientific consensus exists that this ongoing rise in temperatures has resulted in warming of the oceans, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events. Thus, some climatologists propose that the Anthropocene's onset occurred with the Industrial Revolution and its effects on Earth's atmosphere. (VIII) Whenever the Anthropocene is judged to have begun, its impact is undeniable. Human activity has changed the face of the planet ; the global ecosystem has been and is being reshaped, the composition of the atmosphere has been altered, and even weather patterns are changing in response to human activity. The consequences of these changes will affect life on Earth for millions of years to come, leaving a mark of human activity that may well outlive humanity itself.

    The Last Lesson Text-Flamingo Q3 Multiple Choice Questions based on an extract A. Poor man!
