Part A: 50 Marks
READING (26 marks)
Q1. (A) Read the passage given below.
1. Sitting in the front seats of the buses in my route was always a problem. We were always obliged to give
our seats for old and the weak. And the „weak‟ sure included pregnant women. For some reason, on my
route there would be a lot of pregnant women, always. It was almost like they were everywhere. A
hundred times I had given my seat to pregnant women, and seemed like it would never end. Every other
day that happened. „This madness has to end‟ Ithought.
2. Anyway I couldn‟t go into the houses of those pregnant women and shoot the men who often made
them pregnant. That left me to act in the bus selfishly. That one technique I brought up soon became a
hit in my own brains. Any signs of a woman with a bit larger belly walked into the bus, I just pretended to
be asleep. All was done. So that continued for a lot ofdays.
3. One particular day, I was sitting (not asleep since nobody wanting a seat was around) and an
acquaintance, Lipin, boarded the bus. Lipin was physically challenged at his legs. He was only as good
as a person with one leg. He sat to my side. I was sitting on the window side. We exchanged greetings
and he happily talked about the world where both of us lived. In front of his enthusiasm, I felt like I had
got nothing waist down and he was someone with so manylegs.
4. It was at that time out of nowhere a pregnant lady appeared. The bus didn‟t even stop anywhere, I felt
like she just materialised from the air. I went into my fake sleep in no time. Lipin kept talking for a while.
Suddenly I heard him offering his seat to that lady. There were sympathetic arguments over who is
weaker between a pregnant woman and a one legged person. I wondered why any of the other people
were not offering a seat to them; maybe they would be sleeping too. At last Lipin established that a
pregnant woman deserved the seat since she was carrying twosouls.
5. In my fake sleep, I could see everything happening in the bus. Lipin was standing there on his one good
leg and his selfless smile. I sat there beside the woman like a man totally blind at eyes andheart.

Q1. (B) Read the passage given below.

1. Food on the table is a very warm sight, but only few take preparation of the same as an art. That‟s why the
last room in the darkest corner of the house has always been reserved for the kitchen. Most of the time,
compared to other rooms, kitchens would be smaller in size and least furnished. Kitchens used to be
women‟s space, especially in traditional households where the joint family system was the order of t he
family structure, the women in the houses are supposed to cook and bring the food to the dining area
where men and guests usually eat. In some of the cases, women are implicitly expected to have their food
in the kitchenitself.
2. At least 86% of the newly built houses even in urban areas have smaller kitchens than master bedrooms.
The percentage of people preferring a well-ventilated kitchen overawell ventilated bedroom is less than
25%. In rural areas at least 50% of the old generation houses and not less than 30% of the newly built
houses have no kitchens inside the walled areas or the preliminary construction. Statistics also show that
not even 10% of the people invest in furnishing their kitchens the way they do with their drawing rooms.
3. As changes happened in all walks of life and gender roles changed elsewhere, in the kitchen as well men‟s
participation increased. In the present world, our greatest chefs are men; this has a whole socio-cultural
explication but quite interesting is how architecture and our sense of space management got meddled in,
especially in households.
4. In earlier days, when the joint family system used to be the order, there used to be a lot of people in the
house that at the same time when somebody is cooking, there will be enough people to engage the guests
as well. And not accidently, the people in the front used to be men and people in the kitchens used to
bewomen.

Now in the modern nuclear family days, there aren‟t enough people to allocate to kitchen works and guest
entertaining duties separately in individual houses, so the only option is for the same people to do both. For
this, either one has to take the guest to the kitchen or bring the kitchen to the guest. The second option gets
its material form when in modern day architecture, the kitchen is integrated to dining space. The traditional
gender roles also got transgressed at some point. When in earlier days cooking remained a women‟s job and
entertaining the guest was the men‟s job, these days participation is equal from the side of men and women
for theseactivities.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer ANY TEN questions from the eleven that
follow. (1x10 = 10)
i. What is the most appropriate premise on which the above passage could be constructed?
a. Kitchens are always a priority when it comes to house construction.
b. Women are demanding for more equality in housekeeping, the way they do this is by restructuring
the kitchen.
c. There is a connection between architecture, food culture and gender.
d. Even if the kitchen is placed in the middle of the house, traditional gender roles are never going to
change.
ii. Pick the option that lists statements that are NOT TRUE according to the passage.
1. More people prefer larger kitchens than bedrooms in their houses.
2. A lot of people take preparation of food as an art.
3. Over the course of time, men‟s participation in the kitchen has increased.
4. Kitchen is integrated into the dining space in modern day architecture.

iii.Which word has the same meaning as „intervene‟, in paragraph3?
a. Change b. Participate c. Explicate d. Me Meddleiv
iv. “... in modern day architecture, the kitchen is integrated to dining space.” What is the root reason for this?
a. In individual nuclear families there aren‟t enough members to separately manage guests and
kitchenworks.

kitchen centeredarchitecture.
c. Participation in household works became naturally equal as time passed.

him and all those 20,000 children out of the hot furnaces where they slog their daylight hours, often losing

is being rebuilt. We walk down stinking lanes choked with garbage, past homes that remain hovels with
crumblingwalls,wobbly doors, no windows, crowded with families of humans and animals coexisting in a
primeval state. He stops at the door of one such house, bangs a wobbly iron door with his foot, and pushes it
open. We enter a half-built shack. In one part of it, thatched with dead grass, is a firewood stove over which
sits a large vessel of sizzling spinach leaves. On the ground, in large aluminiumplatters, are more chopped
