Read the passage given below and answer the following questions. (8 ) The Stonecutter Once upon a time there lived a stonecutter, who went every day to a great rock on the side of a big mountain and cut out slabs for gravestones or for houses. He understood very well the kinds of stones required for the different purposes and as he was a careful workman he had plenty of customers. For a long time he was quite happy and contented and asked for nothing better than what he had. Now in the mountain dwelt a spirit which now and then appeared to men and helped them in many ways to become rich and prosperous. The stonecutter, however, had never seen this spirit and only shook his head, with an unbelieving air, when anyone spoke of it. One day the stonecutter carried a gravestone to the house of a rich man and saw there all sorts of beautiful things, of which he had never even dreamed. Suddenly his daily work seemed to grow harder and heavier and he said to himself: "Oh, if only I were a rich man, and could sleep in a bed with silken curtains and golden tassels, how happy I should be!" And a voice answered him: "Your wish is heard; a rich man you shall be!" At the sound of the voice the stonecutter looked around, but could see nobody. He thought it was all his fancy, and picked up his tools and went home, for he did not feel inclined to do any more work that day. But when he reached the little house where he lived, he stood still with amazement, for instead of his wooden hut was a stately palace filled with splendid furniture. Questions: 1.

THE WEDDING PROCESSION OF THE RAGDOLL AND THE BROOM HANDLE AND WHO WAS IN IT T he Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It by Carl Sandburg The Rag Doll had many friends. The Whisk Broom, the Furnace Shovel, the Coffee Pot, they all liked the Rag Doll very much. But when the Rag Doll married, it was the Broom Handle she picked because the Broom Handle fixed her eyes. A proud child, proud but careless, banged the head of the Rag Doll against a door one day and knocked off both the glass eyes sewed on long ago. It was then the Broom Handle found two black California prunes, and fastened the two California prunes just where the eyes belonged. So then the Rag Doll had two fine black eyes brand new. She was even nicknamed Black Eyes by some people. There was a wedding when the Rag Doll married the Broom Handle. It was a grand wedding with one of the grandest processions ever seen at a rag doll wedding. And we are sure no broom handle ever had a grander wedding procession when he got married. Who marched in the procession? Well, first came the Spoon Lickers. Every one of them had a tea spoon, or a soup spoon, though most of them had a big table spoon. On the spoons, what did they have? Oh, some had butter scotch, some had gravy, some had marshmallow fudge. Every one had something slickery sweet or fat to eat on the spoon. And as they marched in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle, they licked their spoons and looked around and licked their spoons again. Next came the Tin Pan Bangers. Some had dishpans, some had frying pans, some had potato peeling pans. All the pans were tin with tight tin bottoms. And the Tin Pan Bangers banged with knives and forks and iron and wooden bangers on the bottoms of the tin pans. And as they marched in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle they banged their pans and looked around and banged again. Then came the Chocolate Chins. They were all eating chocolates. And the chocolate was slippery and slickered all over their chins. Some of them spattered the ends of their noses with black chocolate. Some of them spread the brown chocolate nearly up to their ears. And then as they marched in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle they stuck their chins in the air and looked around and stuck their chins in the air again. Then came the Dirty Bibs. They wore plain white bibs, checker bibs, stripe bibs, blue bibs and bibs with butterflies. But all the bibs were dirty. The plain white bibs were dirty, the checker bibs were dirty, the stripe bibs, the blue bibs and the bibs with butterflies on them, they were all dirty. And so in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle, the Dirty Bibs marched with their dirty fingers on the bibs and they looked around and laughed and looked around and laughed again. Next came the Clean Ears. They were proud. How they got into the procession nobody knows. Their ears were all clean. They were clean not only on the outside but they were clean on the inside. There was not a speck of dirt or dust or muss or mess on the inside nor the outside of their ears. And so in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle, they wiggled their ears and looked around and wiggled their ears again. 1.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (10) The holiday of Thanksgiving was born from the Puritan settlement of Plymouth, on the coast of present-day Massachusetts. Puritan separatists, desperate for religious freedom, left England in 1607 for the Netherlands under increasing pressure from the crown to conform. Although they were allowed religious freedom, they were not granted citizenship in the Netherlands, and hence, could not secure meaningful jobs and were restricted to those that were low-paying and unskilled. Some Puritans, disheartened by the drifting of their children from the church, made arrangements with the Merchant Adventurers (a London jointstock company) to relocate to America. Payment for their passage was made in exchange for future repayment and a percentage of future profits made by the settlement. 35 Pilgrims (as they would come to be known) boarded the Mayflower with 67 other passengers and set sail for Virginia on September 16, 1620. The treacherous voyage across the stormy Atlantic Ocean lasted 10 weeks. When the Mayflower finally approached America, it was nowhere near Jamestown or even Virginia. On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower reached land off present-day Cape Cod. Some historians believe the Mayflower never intended to sail to Virginia, but rather had secretly planned to sail to New England. Many of the passengers threatened mutiny because they were supposed to be brought to Virginia. As a result, the Mayflower Compact was drafted which guaranteed the equal treatment of all settlers in the new colony. The Mayflower Compact further documented the colony's continued allegiance to England, but also called for the establishment of an independent, civil government. The Compact was signed by 41 male passengers and the decision to remain at Plymouth, rather than to spend more time at sea was made. The settlers organized themselves into a group known as the Council of New England. The council promised one hundred acres of land to those settlers who remained at Plymouth for seven years. The Mayflower and its passengers explored the coast of Massachusetts for several weeks before finding the perfect spot at Plymouth on December 21, 1620. Life in Massachusetts was difficult for the settlers. Half of the original passengers on the Mayflower died of disease, starvation, and the harsh Massachusetts winter. Unlike Jamestown, however, Indian attacks were not a constant threat. Rather, the local Wampanoag Indians were responsible for the survival of the colonists. Squanto, who was kidnapped and had experienced life in Europe as a slave and later as an observer of European culture in a monastery, had recently returned to Massachusetts only to find his former village ravaged by death and disease. He assimilated into the Wampanoag village located at Plymouth and later joined the Pilgrim colony at Plymouth when they learned he could speak English. Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to establish friendly relations with the Indians and how to plant crops, fish, and trap mammals for the fur trade. If it wasn't for Squanto, the Wampanoag‘s and their sachem Massasoit, all of the settlers would have surely perished. One year after the landing of the Mayflower, the surviving Pilgrims celebrated their first fall harvest with a prodigious feast. They invited 91 of their Indian neighbors. The feast was the first ever Thanksgiving. 1. Why did the Puritans leave England? a. They wanted more money b. They wanted religious freedom c. They wanted new scenery d. They were kicked out 2.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (10) Lightning is a streak of electricity that occurs in every thunderstorm. You see lightning before you hear thunder because light travels faster than sound. Lightning is caused when the negative charge of electricity in the rain clouds meets the positive charge of electricity in the falling raindrops. Most lightning occurs from cloud-to-cloud, but some lightning occurs from cloud-to-ground, where it can start fires, melt metal, or be deadly to people. Although 90% of people survive lightning strikes, they can cause major internal injuries, burns, and hearing loss. 240,000 people are struck by lightning or are injured as a result of lightning every year. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of air and temperature inside and around a lightning strike. Such an expansion of air is known as a sonic shock wave. Did you know you can calculate the distance of lightning from its thunder? Thunder occurs after lightning because the light travels much more quickly than sound. In normal circumstances, lightning is 0.2 miles distant from a given location for every second that passes between the lightning and its thunder. Thus, if you see lightning in the sky and hear thunder five seconds later, the lightning is about one mile from your location. i. Lightning occurs.... a. in a few thunderstorms b. in some thunderstorms c. in most thunderstorms d. in every thunderstorm ii. Why do you see lightning before you hear thunder? a. Because lightning comes before thunder b. Because thunder causes lightning c. Because lightning causes thunder d. Because light travels faster than sound iii.

Which of the following isNOT true about thunder? a. You hear thunder after lightning because light travels faster than sound. b. Thunder occurs because of the rapid expansion of air and temperature inside and around a lightning strike. c. If you see lightning and hear thunder five seconds later, the lightning is five miles away d. Air expansion that results in thunder is called a sonic shock wave. vii. What do the paragraphs have in common? a. They describe specific instances of lightning and thunder b. They describe lightning and thunder in popular culture c.

The second paragraph describes a cause and the first does not ix. What word is could be a synonym for circumstancesas used in the following sentence: In normal circumstances, lightning is 0.2 miles distant from a given location for every second that passes between the lightning and its thunder. a. situations b. ways c. problems d. averages x. Which of the following sentences contains an approximation? a. Such an expansion of air is known as a sonic shock wave. b.

Science Social Studies For admission to class 9 Time: 3 Hrs Total: 250 marks English Q 1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: 1. When I learned that my 71 year old mother was playing scrabble against herself, I knew I had to do something.‖Who‘s playing?‖I asked one day when I saw a half – finished game on the table. ―My right hand versus my left.‖ ―Excuse me? ―I said. ―Well your father doesn‘t play and I want to keep my mind sharp.‖ An admirable pursuit but I questioned whether my mother‘s solitary version of Scrabble would achieve that goal. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn‘t sure my mother was ready for a cyber Scrabble. It had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy a microwave. Nevertheless, we packed our old PC, complete with Scrabble and word processing programmes and delivered it to my parents‘ home. Thus, began my mother‘s adventure in the worlds of computers. 2. It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching assignment for me. I‘ve taught children and adults of all ages but never thought I would be teaching my mother to do anything. Despite the look of horror on her face when she first saw our gift, my mother was eager to get started. She sat mesmerized as the screen lit up and the various icons presented themselves. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little spiral book. I wondered how she‘d fare without me. Thereafter, she only spoke on her game on the computer to me. She even forgot to ask her stock question, ―What did you have for supper?‖ It was no longer on the agenda. Instead she talked about RAM, ROM and the CPU- terms spilled effortlessly from her mouth. My mother had acquired a new mother tongue. 3. My mother isn‘t the only one experiencing a personal growth spurt. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally overcome his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Then, after a couple of months ago, I heard dad‘s gruff voice on the phone. ―Why didn‘t mum answer?‖. ―She‘s on the computer.‖ My father and I have had more conversations in the last two months than we‘ve had in the previous 20 years. After a lifetime of being her child, I was finally the one with knowledge to share with my mum. But even now, I realize that she continues to teach me. I am learning that no matter how old you are a willing spirit is capable of anything. I) Answer the following questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. (10) What do we know about Mother as an individual when she starts playing Scrabble on her own? What do we get to know about the son-in-law from the passage? Mother was against the use of modern technology. Do you agree / disagree? Give reasons Who were the learners in the passage and what did they learn?

(4) Kāsiga School Sample Question Paper English Maths Geography Economics For admission to class 11 Commerce Time: 3 hrs Total: 150 marks English Section A The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its dreary gray days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and soaking in the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn‘t fair. We suffered through months of school and miserable weather for those scant ten weeks of freedom and balmy weather. Any day that I could not spend at the beach or playing ball with my friends seemed like a punishment for something I didn‘t even do. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a Dickensian orphan. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, soI was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was technically at work. It was those days that I would resign myself to whatever was on television or any books that I could find lying around. I‘d crawl through the day and pray eachnight that the rain would not be there the next day. As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as eagerly anticipated. Mostly, the days run together, bleeding into each other so that theyno longer seem like separate entities and instead feel like continuations of the same long day. Everything seems monotonous and dull, and an ennui or listlessness kicks in. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I complain about how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which offers a reprieve-admittedly one that is all too short—from thetorture of 100° and humid days. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful—and considerably cooler—weather tomorrow. Q1. Tick the correct option: 1) The passage makes use of language that is A.metaphorical (5) B. rhetorical C.formal D.ambiguous 2) According to the passage, summer is different for adults because A.rain brings with it cold temperatures for the following days B.the weather is much warmer than it is for children C.they do not get a long time off from work for the season D.they better know how to occupy their downtime 3) According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the narrator as a child? A.He or she was often bored on summer days. B.He or she preferred cooler weather. C.He or she liked staying indoors. D.He or she had no siblings. 4) Compared to how he or she was as a child, the narrator as an adult is A.more realistic B.less excitable C.more idealistic D.less calm 5) As used in the final paragraph, the word reprieve most nearly means A.permanent conclusion B.short continuation C.higher level of pain D.temporary break Q2. Answer the following questions: (15) A.The author of this passage describes his or her feelings about rainy summer days. In general, how do you feel about such days?

We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its dreary gray days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, laying on the sand and soaking in the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn‘t fair. We suffered through months of school and miserable weather for those scant ten weeks of freedom and balmy weather. Any day that I could not spend at the beach or playing ball with my friends seemed like a punishment for something I didn‘t even do. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a Dickensian orphan. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, soI was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was technically at work. It was those days that I would resign myself to whatever was on television or any books that I could find lying around. I‘d crawl through the day and pray eachnight that the rain would not be there the next day. As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as eagerly anticipated. Mostly, the days run together, bleeding into each other so that theyno longer seem like separate entities and instead feel like continuations of the same long day. Everything seems monotonous and dull, and an ennui or listlessness kicks in. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I complain about how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which offers a reprieve-admittedly one that is all too short—from thetorture of 100° and humid days. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful—and considerably cooler—weather tomorrow. Q1. Tick the correct option 1) The passage makes use of language that is (5) A.metaphorical B. rhetorical C.formal D.ambiguous 2) According to the passage, summer is different for adults because A.rain brings with it cold temperatures for the following days B.the weather is much warmer than it is for children C.they do not get a long time off from work for the season D.they better know how to occupy their downtime 3) According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the narrator as a child?
