Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the
passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have
happened. lt was well designed and carefully maintalned. lt carried the proper
number of lifeboats. lt had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage.
Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night. lt went
down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding
cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble
overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers
could pluck them from the cold sea. The flnal death toll amounted to 9'12 souls.
However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia
sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the
dead were women, children and the elderly.

'1. One can understand from the reading that

(A) the lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be
lowered

(B) design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the
Estonia ferry

(A) helped one another to overcome the tragedy that had affected them all

(B) were mostly young men but women, children and the elderly stood little
chance

(C) helped save hundreds of lives

{D) are still suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder

(E) told the investigators nothing about the accident

Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a problem since
settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth
century. By the '1930s, more than 282 million acres of farmland were damaged
by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has accelerated
due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. ln the years
ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replacB
petroleum scarcity as the nation's most critical natural resource problem.

While it's a noble thought to place the plastic bags in the recycling bin even
week, studies have proven that there are very few recycling plants th;t actuallv
recycle them. Most municipalities either burn them or send them off to the landfiil
after s.orting. This is because it can be expensive to recycle this type of plastic. lt
I doesn't melt down easily and is often not fit to be reused'in its originalforin.

The premise.of recycling these bags'is nice. Yet funding for the upgrading of the
recycling units just has not.happened and thus less than 1olo of ali 6ags a=re sent
to recycling.plants worldwide. Most are left to become a pollution prodiem in one
way or another.

There are always alternatives to plastic bags and lhe search for better and more
alternatives continues. Paper bags are a possible option, but they also take their
toll on the environment. The use of trees to increase the prodirction of paper
products will also have a negative environmental effect.

Reusable plastic bags are being introduced to regions that want to ouflaw the
plastic bags altogether. These are stronger and more durable and can be used
for three to Jive trips to the store. Of course, the reusable cloth bag is fast
becoming a favourite.among the environmental supporters. While so fai no bag
is without its issues, these.are the bags that are cuffently recommended for us6
to help protect environmental concerns.

Answer the following questions:

1. People object to the banning of plastic bags because they are:
(a) durable
(b) convenient
(c) easily disposable
(d) useful
P - 1576
 2. The environmental balance of the waterways is being thrown off because:

(a) the amount of plastic bags is decreasing the water level

(b) the breaking rate ofthese bags is slow

(c) many species of sea mammals are dying

(d) there are 300 million plastic bags lying in Atlantic Ocean

3. What do most municipalities do to the plastic bags?

(a) Send them off to the landfill

(b) Recycle them

(c) Clean and send them for reuse

(d) Leave them undestroyed

4. The best option to replace plastic bags is:

(a) paper bags

(b) reusable plastic bags

(c) cloth bags

(d) all of the above

st. Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Once an organ donor's family gives its consent and the organs are matched to a
recipient, medical professionals are faced with the onerous challenge of
transporting organs while ensuring that the harvested organ reaches its
destination in the shortest possible time. This is done in order to preserve the
harvested organs and involves lhe police and especially the traffic police
department.

P - 1576
The traditional method of transporting organs by road is referred to as a "green
corridor". This process entails police escorting an ambulance, so as to move
around tralfic - usually a specific traffic lane is chosen and all signals on the route
stay green lo ensure it to reach its destination in the shortest possible time. A
'green corridor' is a route cleared and cordoned off by the traffic police to ensure
the smooth and steady transportation of harvested organs, on most occasions, to
those awaiting a life-saving transplant. Organs tend to have a very sho(
preservalion time, such as the heart which has to be harvested and transplanted
within four hours or the lungs which can be preserved for only six hours once
thBy are harvested.

The first green corridor in lndia was created by Chennai Traflic Police in
September 2008 when they accomplished their task of enabling an ambulance to
reach its destination within 11 minutes during peak hour trafnc. That organ saved
a nine-year-old girl whose life depended on the transplant.

Similarly, such green coridors have been created by trafflc police of various
cities such as Pune, Mumbai, Oelhi NCR eic. Personnel are stationed at selected
points to divert, control and clear the trafric giving way to the ambulance. Apart
from this, a motorcade of police vehicles accompanies the arnbulance ensuring
that it does not face any problems. Delhi Traffic Police provided a green conidor
from lGl Airport to lnstitute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in VasantKunj for
transporlation of a liver. The distance of 14 kms was covered in 11 minutes.

Experts point out the lack of a robust system to transport organs to super-
speciality hospitals in least possible time. National Organ & Tissue Transplant
Organisation (NOTTO), the counlry's apex organ donation agency, is now
framing a proposal to airlift cadaver organs and will send a report to the Union
Health Ministry. "Cadaver organs have a short life and so transplant should be
done within a few golden hours." Oirector (NOTTO) expressed, "Therefore, we
are preparing a proposal for airlifting organs at any given moment."

Most states do not have enough well-trained experts to retrieve or perform

lV. Answer any two of the following questions, choosing one from each group.

GROUP A

39. Read the following passage carefully and answer the queslions below.

The sage of science, Einstein, was sitling in a depressive and pensive mood one
evening. His eyes were brimming with tears. The pain was evident on his face.
He peeped out of the window of his room. The sun had sel a few minutes back.
The sky was filled with a reddish glow. At this sunset, he felt,that it was humanity
that had sunk into devilish darkness and the reddish glow in the sky was the
blood of humanity spilling all over the sky from earth. With tired steps, he walked
back to his chair and settled down. lt was the 9th of August 1945. Three days
back, he had felt the same agony as lf someone had tom him apart. He was
deeply hurt and depressed when he heard on the radio that America had
dropped an atom bomb on the Japanese city, Hiroshima. Today, within three
days another bomb was dropped on another city, Nagasaki and lakhs of people
had been killed.

He had heard that the blast released so much energy that it had paled all past
destructions in comparison and death had played out a pitiable dance of
destruction. The flames that broke out of the bomb were buming, melting and
exploding buildings. Scared of the heat of the bomb, people had jumped into
lakes and rivers, but the water was boiling, and the people too were bumt and
killed. The animals in the water were already boiled to death. Animals, trees,
herbs, fragrbnt flowering plants were all turned Into ashes. The atomic energy
destruction had just not stopped there. lt had entered the atmosphere there and
had spread radiation that would affect people for generations to come and would
also ring aboul destructive irreversible biological changes in animals and plants.

As the news of the atomic atack reached Einstein, and he became aware of the
glaring horror of the abuse of atomic energy, his distress and restlessness knew
no bounds. He could not control himself and picked up his violin to turn his mind
onto other things. While playing the violin, he tried to dissolve his distress in its
sad notes but couldn't. He was burning on the embers of destruction; his hea(
was {illed with an ocean of agony and tears just continued streaming
uncontrollably out of his eyes, Night had fallen. His daughter came up and asked
him to eat something as he had not taken anything for the last four days. His
voice was restrained, and he said, "l don't feel like eating."

'14 P - 1s76
He could not sleep that night. Lying down, he was thinking how he had drawn the
attention of the then American President Roosevelt towards the destructive
powers of an atomic bomb. He had thought that this would be used to scare
Hitler and put an end to the barbarism that Hitler was up to. However, Roosevelt
kept him in the dark and made false promises. Eventually, he had abused
Einstein's equation of E=MC2 that resulted in destructive experinients. His
actions had made science and scientists as murderers. Einstein kept on thinking
for a long time. Eventually, he slipped into sleep. When he woke up at dawn,
there was a new dawn in him too. The atomic threat had transformed his heart.

The next day, he decided to disassoclate himself from the scientiflc policy of the
goyernment and all governmental institutions. He decided to open educational
institutions for children, adolescents, and youth institutions where along with
science, spirituality will be compulsorily taught. -
To inaugurate this institution, he had invited two great philosophers, Bertrand
Russell and Albert Schweitzer. Ten other great scientists who had won Nobel
Prizes in different fields were also invited. They all saw' a different Einstein, not a
great scientisl but a sage in him. The institution was opened by garlanding a
photo of lvlahatma Gandhi. While garlanding the Mahatma, he became emotional
and said with a lump in his throat, "l bow down to the great man who fought for
the independence of his country through non-violence. He could do so because
he was a truthful man and true spiritualist."

Those who teach science should be taught spirituality too. Without harmony
between science and spirituality, the destruction would contiRue unabated. A few
years after this institution was built, a Japanese delegation came to meel him.
Einstein broke down in the meeting and said, "You can give me any punishment
and I will accept it. Anyway, I have decided to lead my life in penitence." The
Japanese were moved by his sincerity and forgot their grief.

A. On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following

questions by choosing the most appropriate option.

(i) Besides two great philosophers how many other scientists were invited by

GROUP B

42. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.

'NOW, what lwant is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts
alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing elqe, and root out eveMhing else. You can
only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of
any service to them, This is the principle on which I bring up my own children,
and this is the principle on which I tiring up these children. Stick to the facts, sir!'

The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a school-room, and the
speakels square 'forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every
sentence with a line on the schoolmastefs sleeve. The emphasis was helped by
the speaker's square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base,
while his eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by
the wall.

The emphasis was helped by the speaker's mouth, which was wide, thin, and
hard set. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's voice, which was inflexible,
dry, and dictatorial. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's hair, which
bristled on the skirts of his bald head a plantation of firs to keep the wind from its
shining surface, all covered with knobs, like the crust of a plum pie, as if the head
had scarcely warehouse-room for the hard facts stored'inside. The sPeaker's
obstinate carriage, square coat, square legs, square shoulders, nay, his very
neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp, like
a stubborn fact, as it was - all helped the emphasis.

'ln this life, we want nothing but Facts, slr; nothing but Facts!'

The speaker, and lhe schoolmaster, and the third grown person present, all
backed a little and swept with their eyes the inclined plane of little vessels then
and there ananged in order, ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into
them unlil they were full to the brim.

20 P - 1576
Thomas Gradgrind, sir. A man of realities. A man of facts and calculations A man
who proceeds upon the principle that two and two are four, and nolhing over, and
who is not to be talked into allowing for anything over. Thomas Gradgrind, sir-
imperatively Thomas-Thomas Gradgrind. With a rule and a pair of scales, and
the multiplication table always in his pocket, sir, ready to weigh and measure any
parcel of human nature, and tell you exactly what it comes to. lt is a mere
question of figures, a case of simple arithmetic. You might hope to get sorire
other nonsensical belief into the head of George Gradgrind, or Augustus
Gradgrind, or John Gradgrind, or Joseph Gradgrind (all supposititious, non-
existent persons), but into the head of Thomas Gradgrind-no, sir!

ln such terms, Mrcradgrind always mental,y introduced himself, whether to his

private circle of acquaintance or to the public in general. ln such terms, no doubt,
substituting the words'boys and girls', for'sir', Thomas Gradgrind now presented
Thomas Gradgrind to the litle pitchers before him, who were to be filled so full of
facls.

lndeed, as he eagerly sparkled at them from the spacious cellar cellarage before
mentioned, he seemed a kind of canion loaded to the muzzle with facts, and
prepared to blow, them clean out of lhe regions of chaldhood at one discharge. He
seemed a galvanising apparatus, too, charged with a grim mechanical substitute
for the tender young imaginations thal were to be stormed away.

'Girl number twenty,' said Mr. Gradgrind, squarely pointing with his square
forefinger, 'l don't know that girl. Who is that girl?" SissyJupe, sir,' explained
number twenty, blushing, standing up, and curtseying. 'Sissy is not a name,' said
Mr. Gradgrind. 'Don't call yourself Sissy. Call yourself Cecilia.' 'lt's father as he
calls me Sissy, sir,' retumed the young girl in a trembling voice, and with another
curtsey. 'Then he has no business to do it.' said
Mr. Gradgrind. 'Tell him he mustn't. Cecilia Jupe. Let me see. What is your
.
lalhefl' 'He belongs to the horse-riding, if you please, sir. Mr. Gradgrind
frowned, and waved off the objectionable calling with his hand.'We don't want to
know anything about that, here. You mustn't tell us about that, here. Your father
breaks horses, doesn't he?' 'lf you please, sir, when they can get any to br€ak,
they do break horses in the ring, sir' 'You mustn't tell us about lhe ring, here.
Very well, then. Describe your father as a horse-breaker. He doctors siok horses,
I dare say?' 'Oh yes, sir.'Very well, then. He is a veterinary surgeon, a fanier,
and a horse-breaker. Give me your definition of a horse.' (Sissy Jupe was thrown
into the greatest alarm by this demand.)

21 P - 1576
 'Girl number twenty unabie to defrne a horse!'said Mr. Gradgrind, for the general

Bitzer, yours.' (,qdapted from Charles Dicken's Hard Times)
