PART A 20 Marks

❖ Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

Planes
People began to travel by plane during the 1920s. But the planes were very
uncomfortable and even quite unsafe. In the 1930s many improvements were
made, but passenger planes had only two engines and they carried only about
a thousand litres of fuel. They could not travel very far. This meant that a flight
from New Delhi to London took several days, with stops for refuelling.
Modern passenger planes can carry six hundred people. Travelling now is very
comfortable. Food is served in the flight and there is plenty of entertainment
on board.
Modern planes have four powerful jet engines and can fly at speeds of over
eight hundred kilometres per hour. They carry more fuel so they can travel a
long distance non-stop. This means that a flight from New Delhi to London
takes only about ten hours.
Today, engineers are working on a super jumbo jet. It will probably be shaped
like a triangle with three very powerful engines at the back. It will be able to
carry a thousand passengers in great comfort. There will be restaurants and
perhaps even a gym on the plane. It will be able to fly 12,000 kilometres non-
stop and will be extremely fast.

❖ Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
“Oh, if I were only a prince!” said the stonecutter to himself, as the carriage
vanished around the corner. “Oh, if I were only a prince and could go in such
a carriage and have a golden umbrella held over me, how happy I should be.”
And a prince he was. Before his carriage rode one company of men and
another behind it; servants dressed in scarlet and gold bore him along, the
coveted umbrella held over his head. He had everything his heart desired, yet
it was not enough. He still looked around for something to wish for, and when
he saw that in spite of the water he poured on the grass the rays of the sun
scorched it, and that in spite of the umbrella held over his head each day his
face grew browner and browner, he cried in anger, “The Sun is mightier than I;
oh, if I were only the Sun!”
And the mountain spirit answered, “Your wish is heard; the sun you shall be.”
And the sun he was and felt himself proud in his glory. He shot his beams
above and below, on earth and in heaven; he burnt up the grass in the fields
