II. Reading Comprehension
Read the following stories and select correct options
to answer the questions that follow.
Othman had a shock when his ten-year-old son, Hassan,
came into the house lugging a metal object in his hands.
“Look what I have found in the field, Father !” Hassan said
in the Malay Language. Othman said gently, “Hassan, please
put that thing down slowly on the floor, slowly, slowly.”
Othman had been in the army before he left it to run a shop
in his village ‘Kampung’ in Malay, and could recognise a shell
or a bomb if he saw one. The object found by Hassan was an
unexploded shell, a relic from World War II. Othman ushered
his whole family out of the house and called the police, who
in turn informed the military, as the latter had the experts
and the equipment to dispose of the unexploded shell by
detonating it in a safe place.
Soon a van carrying several policemen came on the scene,
and while waiting for the military to arrive, they cordoned
off the area so that people would be at some distance from
the shell in case it exploded. This caused many Kampung
dwellers to come as close to the scene as the police would
allow them, as they were keen to watch the show.
In due course, a military truck arrived with the bomb
disposal squad. While Othman’s family and some twenty
others watched from a safe distance, the soldiers carried the
UIEO VI Paper Code : UE-196 7 8
Class : 06
shell out of the house to a vacant uninhabited land some
distance away. They then detonated the shell, and the group
of men who heard the explosion, even though a good
distance away from it, cheered and clapped. But the work of
the soliders was not over. In case there were more of such
shells in the area where this was found, two soldiers went
over the area with metal detectors to find them.
In the meantime, word had got around in Kampung, and a
large crowd gathered to watch the proceedings. The police
had quite a job on their hands to keep the crowd as far as
possible from the area where the soldiers were at work. At
last it appeared that one of the soldiers had found a metal
object. The crowd grew excited, thinking that they would
witness another explosion. But the object was not a shell or
a bomb, only a rusty piece of metal. When the police
announced that there would not be another detonation, the
crowd was disappointed. But gradually they came to accept
that they were not going to see something exciting, and they
slowly slunk away.
36. About how many people watched the soldiers carrying
away the shell to a vacant land ?
(A) Many dwellers. (B) The entire village.
(C) Othman’s family plus some 20 others.
(D) All the policemen and all villagers.
37. The verb ‘to detonate’ means to . . .
(A) diffuse. (B) extinguish.(C) discard. (D) explode.

(C) Adjective. (D) Noun.
By the ninth day, the team was too exhausted to trudge
more than a few kilometres without collapsing. The terrain
had flattened out, and was much easier to cross than the
rocky slopes covered with vegetation. All of a sudden, it
started to pour, and they knew if the gully fills with water,
they could easily drown. The team scrambled up the side of
the mountain, slipping with every step and scraping their
mud-covered knees and hands. They reached a large, flat dry
rock that had enough room for them to sleep.
The next morning, they cooked the last of their rations,
eating slowly, their faces heavy with the knowledge that
they were lost, and if they did not find the main path by later
that day, they would be in dire straits. As they prepared to
set off, Eric reached down to pick up his jacket and suddenly
his foot slipped on the slimy rock and shot out in front of
UIEO VI Paper Code : UE-196
Class : 06
him. Before he could grab hold of anything or steady himself,
he tumbled backwards down the rocky slope.
Ted and Tracy watched in horror as he slid and slipped and
rolled down the slope that had taken so long to climb up the
previous day. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the body
stopped falling and rested at the base of the slope. “Eric !”
they screamed. Forty metres below, a hand waved weakly.
They threw down the rope and shouted at Eric to wrap it
round his waist so they could hoist him up. Two hours later,
they resumed the climb, crawling under heavy vines and
over fallen trees, and clambering over a rocky ridge, before
reaching an area of flatter terrain. But there was still no sign
of any path, and no signs that others may have passed that
way. By now, all they wanted was a sign of human life, but
they were beginning to lose hope . . .
41. What is the story of that apparently went wrong ?
(A) A picnic. (B) An expedition.
(C) A Nature stroll. (D) A rock climbing event.
42. What punctuation mark are the 3 dots at the end ?
(A) Interjection.
(B) Repeated full stops, by mistake.
(C) Ellipsis. (D) Parenthesis.
43. Which option is the synonym of ‘trudge’ ?
(A) climb (B) plod (C) trot (D) roam

Explanations and answers to select questions

17. Option (B) is the correct answer. Although the short form of ‘am not’ does exist as
“amn’t” in English language, while making a contraction for ‘am I not’ an irregular
contraction “aren’t I” is used. Please note, this ‘irregular contraction’ that is different
from its ‘short form’. The correct form would be “am I not”, in case a contraction is
not to be used.
25. Option (C) is the correct answer. If the reported speech relates to some universal or
habitual fact, then the Present Simple in the reported speech is not changed into the
corresponding past.

II. Reading Comprehension
Read the following stories and select correct options
to answer the questions that follow.
We were finally within a day’s drive of our destination. The
truck climbed narrow winding roads into the mountains,
above the patchwork of intense cultivation on the small
farms below.
We plunged into Bwindi National Park. The trees spread
their towering branches over the track, casting a dark gloom
below. We drove on, surprised by the apparent lack of visible
wildlife that we had grown used to in Africa. We glimpsed
only the white flash of two monkey tails disappearing into
the shadows. The quiet, when we stopped to camp for the
night, was deafening.
The next day was visiting day. We set off on foot to a nearby
village to start our trek. We had no idea, and neither did our
local guides, how far we would have to hike. We meandered
up the steep mountain on a constricted track made slippery
by the recent rain. One misstep and you could slide on the
mud all the way to the bottom of the valley, unless a banana
tree halted your downward progress ! But we were galva-
nised by one purpose : to see a family of Mountain Gorillas
in the wild.
At the top of the mountain, we turned our backs on
civilisation and entered the forest. After an hour of pushing
through thick grass and spiny bushes, we happened upon
UIEO VI Paper Code : UE-198 7 8
Class : 06
our first gorillas. We were taken by surprise. Three young
individuals looked at us curiously, with no sense of alarm.
After examining us with penetrating stares, they turned and
leapt into the undergrowth.
Our next encounter was with two youngsters wrestling with
each other. Engrossed in their play, they took not the
slightest notice as we surrounded them, with cameras
clicking in overdrive.
At last, in a more open part of the forest, we stumbled across
a clan : the old man silverback, a number of females and
youngsters of various ages.
A silverback is the strong, dominant leader of his family
troop which typically comprises 5 to 30 individuals. As the
leader, he makes all decisions and mediates in any conflicts.
He controls the movements of the group and leads them to
feeding sites, generally taking responsibility for their safety.
We sat and watched him and his family with reverence,
aware of the great privilege he was allowing us; he just sat
and watched us.

Zorkon peered out of the ship to get a better view of the
planet. It was hilly and barren, and the ground was covered
in purple dust. Scanning the area, he could see no sign of
life, only one hill after the next. He pulled his life detector
from his belt to take a reading. The detector flashed a red
light. So there was life there ! The problem, now, was where
that life form was.
Bara had pointed out the small planet on the screen as they
passed by in the ship. From space, it was covered in a grey
haze, but when the ship approached the planet it passed
through the haze and the surface atmosphere was clear and
bright. It had been a difficult landing because there were so
many hills.

When he stepped off the ramp, Zorkon got a closer look at
the dusty ground and found that it was parched and cracked.
Zorkon looked around again. It was perfectly still, but the life
detector continued to flash a red light. He switched on the
communicator attached to his collar and said, “Bara, the
detector is showing that there is some life form here, but I
am unable to locate anything.”
Bara’s voice emerged from the receiver attached to the
other side of his collar. “Stay down a few minutes longer.
Maybe something’s hiding after being scared off by the ship.
I’ll keep looking from inside here.”
Suddenly Zorkon heard the faint rumbling sound of thunder.
It was coming from deep in the ground. Zorkon looked down
at his feet and noticed the ground had begun to tremble
slightly. As the rumbling became louder, it began to shake,
and the dust rose up in a cloud around Zorkon’s feet.
“Bara !” Zorkon called out. Before he could receive a reply,
the thunder seemed to explode and the hill heaved
upwards, throwing Zorkon off balance. As he fell, Zorkon
reached for the ramp and grabbed it. “Bara !” From his collar
he heard Bara yell, “Zorkon ! I don’t think this is a hill !”

05. Option (C) is the correct answer. There is no verb as ‘Flabbergast’. All others are past tenses.
Please refer to the note below.
07. Option (B) is the correct answer. There is no word like ‘Arithmatic’ in the English language. Please
refer to the note below.
22. Option (B) is the correct answer. An RTC is correct. A word the first syllable of which sounds
like a vowel, takes the article ‘an’ and it is not decided by the first letter, whether it is a vowel
or a consonant as is generally believed. So, an hour, a university, a one-way street and a Road
Transport Corporation bus, but an RTC bus.
24. Option (A) is the correct answer. While changing the form from direct to indirect/reported
speech, the simple present tense changes to simple past tense. ‘Insisted’ is used because of the
word ‘must’ used in the direct speech.
23. Option (C) is the correct answer. The ‘a’ makes it ‘time’ as time is a singular noun here. It also
accordingly takes a singular verb. Please refer to the note below.
