PART A

(Q.1-3): Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct option to answer the questions that follow -

This is a great lesson for all of us to learn, that in all matters the two extremes are alike. The extreme positive and the extreme negative are always similar. When the vibrations of light are too slow we do not see them, nor do we see them when they are too rapid. So with sound, when very low in pitch we do not hear it, when very high we do not hear it either. Of like nature is the difference between resistance and non-resistance. One man does not resist because he is weak, lazy and cannot; the other man knows that he can strike an irresistible blow if he likes, yet he not only does not strike but blesses his enemies. The weak who shows non resistance is oppressed while the stronger one commits a sin if he offers resistance.

When we enter New York harbor, the first thing we see is the Statue of Liberty. What impresses us the most is its size and magnificence . Have you ever wondered how it came to be there? The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to mark the one hundred year anniversary of American Independence. In 1869, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi began to plan his concept for the monument. Bartholdi envisioned Liberty as a strong and proud figure, one who personified not only the majestic Greek goddesses of the past, but also the working men and women of the present. Finally in 1884, the work was finished and Liberty was packed into 214 crates and sent to New York city. But there was one problem. While the French had raised a lot of funds to build the statue, New York had not secured the funds to build its foundation. It was not until a New York newspaper implored people for donations that money became available. Finally, on 28th October 1886, Americans celebrated the unveiling of Statue of Liberty.

Writing

Q2. Write a letter to your elder brother who lives in Delhi, sharing your feelings about how you miss him at home. 

Ans.

Subject : Expressing Missing You

Dear [Brother's Name],

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and high spirits. It's been a while since we last caught up, and as I sit down to write this letter, I can't help but express how much I miss having you around at home.

The house feels a bit emptier without your laughter and the constant banter we used to share. Your absence has created a void that no one else can fill. I find myself reminiscing about the times we spent together – the late-night talks, the impromptu outings, and the shared jokes that only we seem to understand.

The daily routines seem mundane without your presence. The dinner table feels incomplete, and family gatherings are just not the same without you. Mom often mentions how she misses your favorite dishes and the warmth you brought to our home.

I understand that life in Delhi is busy and demanding, and I respect your pursuit of your goals. Still, I wanted you to know that your absence is deeply felt. Your room stands as a constant reminder of the lively spirit you brought into our lives.

I look forward to the next time you visit, and we can create more cherished memories together. Until then, please take care of yourself, and know that you are missed every day.

Sending you lots of love and warm wishes.

Yours affectionately,

[Your Name]
