Q. 3. Explain the phrase - awareness of ends
of human life.
Ans. Awareness of the ends of human life =
Know the purpose of human life = know
what we are born in this world for =

@N u L .
Q. 4. How to distinguish the words that end
with pronunciation S and Z
eg. Cats - Cats
(pronunciation - phonetic symbol)
apples How can we distinguish these type of
words without using a dictionary?
Ans. 'S' after the sounds p, t, k, f is pronounced 's'.
cups, cats, books, proofs, in all these
cases 's' is pronounced 's'
'S' after b, d, g, l, m, n, and ng usually
pronounced, 'z' only if it comes at the
end of the words.
jobs, roads, eggs, leaves, calls, dams,
tins, songs - in all these cases 's' is usually pronounced 'z'
'S' coming after vowel sounds at the end
of the word is pronounced 'z'
eg: is, was, has, fees, etc
When a word ends in ss, the sound is 's'
and not z
This will be explained more detailedly in
our future lessons exclusively on pronunciation.

Q. 2. Please fill in the blanks with appropriate

words.
Ans.
i) These are unlawful acts and may lead to
your arrest
ii) Seizing his property is an unlawful act
