Q1. Read the passage given below and write the option that you consider the most appropriate in your answer sheets: (10marks)
Buñol in Spain is famous for its produce, tomatoes. But its notoriety comes from the locals' habit
of wearing the produce as well as tasting it. On the last Wednesday of every August Buñol hosts
La Tomatina, the world's largest vegetable fight.
La Tomatina started with a good laugh. During the forties, in Buñol's main town square, a num-
ber of friends started a tomato fight for unknown reasons. Soon enough, however, their rowdy
hooliganism drew passers-by into the fray. They had so much fun that from that day onward, the
fiesta has been celebrated annually and has grown ever bigger each year.
The night before La Tomatina, the narrow streets beneath the town's imposing medieval bell
tower are filled with tomatoes. Early Wednesday morning official instigators begin ceremoni-
ously pelting the awaiting crowd with their precious cargo:
Soon the streets are awash in tomato seeds and pulp. The madness continues until more than
90,000 pounds of tomatoes have been hurled at anything that ducks, runs, stops, turns about, or
fights back. Once the battle is over in less than half an hour, the warriors head down to the river
to remove the saucy mess from hair and body. (197 words)

Q2. Read the passage given below and write the option that you consider the most appro-
priate in your answer sheets: (5 marks)
The growing rate of crime among the youth today is a matter of great concern. It ranges from
kidnapping, extortion and even murder. The once sensitive, caring, loving and compassionate
young man immortalized by Ruskin Bond and R. K. Narayan is today a character confined to
books alone. The new world has turned him into a criminal with no moral sense or ethical re-
sponsibility. The young are selfish in their thoughts, action and existence. They are like para-
sites; thriving on extravagant consumption of illegal material. And when this becomes an addic-
tion, all means of self - control, morals and ethics take a beating at individual and social spheres.
There can be various reasons as to why the youth are going wrong. Increasing competition
leads to stress and cutthroat competitions. Stress related problems like suicides are on the
rise. The rush to succeed takes them astray. Nuclear families have made youth selfish, self
centered and intolerant. The gap between the rich and the poor has led to frustration in the lower
classes. Media popularizes criminals like Harshad Mehta, who shot to quick fame and fortune.
This allures the youth. Above all, the snags in the Indian legal system, corruption at all levels, as
well as loss of values have all worsened the situation. (208)
A. The reason for alarm in the present day world is………..
a. increase in form of crime

a. books are full of good characters
b. the world is full of good characters
c. good characters are found only in books
d. books should have good characters
C. The main reason for suicides is………………….
a. increasing competition
b. increasing crime
c. failing exams
d. selfish people
D. The break up of the joint family system has made people…………………
a. selfish
b. criminals
c. happy
d. sad
E. The antonym of 'worsened' is……………
a. deteriorated
b. improved
