Ans: When Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah landed Karachi on 7th August, 1947. He was calm and
serious. Perhaps he was thinking about the homeless people who migrated from India. Quaid-e-Azam always
hated violence and tyranny that’s why his behaviour was too severe on that day. He gave no sign of his
feelings if he felt joy or pride for what he had done. For only once or twice he smiled, and we could see a

Science and Scientists

that the work is inexact, it is badly arranged, it jumps to conclusion without sufficient evidences and the
author has allowed his personal prejudices to influence the report.
By scientific work then we mean that the work is as exact as possible, it is orderly arranged, it jumps to
conclusion with sound and sufficient evidence and the only task of scientific work is the prevalence of truth
without being affected by one’s own personal prejudices.

Play Section
Progress
Q1: Was Mrs. Meldon justified to kill her brother? Give reasons for your answer? (2016/2015/2012)
Ans: In my opinion, Mrs. Meldon was not justified in killing her brother as it was an illegal and
inhuman act to kill any person without a genuine reason. Discovering a bomb and patenting it for a
large amount of money is not a crime. Mrs. Meldon should not have taken such a cruel step of
stabbing a person to death for discovering a bomb. Actually, Mrs. Meldon was so sensitive and
touchy woman and she wanted to stop the horrors of warfare so she committed such an unethical
act but in any case we can’t break the law. If the law is broken anyhow, then you’re mistaken. As
per above mentioned facts, I assure that she was not justified in killing her brother.
‘Killing an innocent person is killing the whole humanity.’
Q2: How could Professor Henry Corrie’s invention revolutionize warfare? OR What expectation did Henry
Corrie have for his invention? OR Describe the Corrie’s bomb. (2019/2018/2017/2016/2012/2009)
Ans: Dr. Henry Corrie was a tyrant but a very intelligent scientist. He invented a big bomb full of
corrosive gases and explosive chemicals that could destroy the population of whole city as big as
Manchester. Corrie wanted to revolutionize warfare by means of his bomb because it will end up
the war very quickly. According to him, when the bomb will be dropped via any airplane or airship
then it would destroy a wide tract of district within no time and at the same time the bomb will
release odorless and colorless gases that will rot the bodies of those who inhale it.
‘I don’t know with which weapons the third world war will be fought, but the fourth world war will be
fought by means of sticks and stones.’ –Albert Einstein
Q3: What opinion does Mrs. Meldon hold about war? OR What is an ‘Organized butchery’ of young boys
according to Mrs. Meldon? OR Why was Mrs. Meldon against Henry Corrie’s invention?
(2019/2017/2015/2014/2013/2011/2009)
Ans: Mrs. Meldon hates warfare and concludes it as an organized butchery of boys where beloved
sons of their mothers are slaughtered by enemies. The bereaved mother then suffers a long period
of pain. Mrs. Meldon wanted to end up the war and she decided to take sides against those men
who are working to make war really horrible. This extreme feeling of her hatred for war can be

DUA-E-ILM COACHING CENTER Page 6
clearly reflected in the last moment of the play when she kills her only brother, Henry Corrie, who
wanted to make war more disastrous by means of his devastating bomb.
‘War is itself a problem and it can never solve problems.’ –Sahir Ludhyanwi
Q4: What should be the formula of victory in wars, according to Professor Henry Corrie? OR What opinion
does Professor Henry Corrie hold about war? (2010/2015)
Ans: Henry Corrie had a view that wars can never be end because human beings are all too
pugnacious and they are always ready to fight and make wars with each other. He thinks that the
only way to hinder the nations from engaging in warfare is to make war so horrible that no nation
could think to server their energies in battle. He also wanted to make war expeditious so that it can
be ended in a short period of time unlike the First World War which went on for a ridiculous period.
Corrie suggests that during wars first blow should be so powerful that the contender immediately
succumbs to it. That’s the formula of victory in war according to him. For the same reasons, he
developed a bomb to revolutionize warfare.
‘I don’t know with which weapons the third world war will be fought, but the fourth world war will be
fought by means of sticks and stones.’ –Albert Einstein
Q5: What are the views of Henry Corre about women? Is he justified? (2013/2011)
Ans: Henry Corrie was a misogamist, he hated women a lot that’s why he remained a bachelor in
spite of being an old age person. He says that women are so extra-ordinary in a negative sense,
they lack in concentration and application. They can’t devote themselves for any cause. That’s why
no women can ever be a great artist or scientist. In my opinion, Henry Corrie was utterly wrong and
his statement is so extreme being a misogamist. There are a lot of women in every walk of life who
make remarkable progress.
‘There is color in the picture of Universe due to the existence of women.’ –Allama Iqbal
Q6: Who was Tom? How did he die? (2012)
Ans: Tom was the father of Eddie and husband of Mrs. Meldon. He loved his son a lot. When Eddie
enlisted himself as a soldier in British army and after that he was killed in France by means of a
shell then Tom could not bear the news of his son’s death. Due to extreme attachment of Tom with
his son, he got died due to heart attack when he came to know about the death of his only son,
Eddie.
‘War seems to me an organized butchery of boys.’ –Mrs. Meldon
Q7: What did Mrs. Meldon discover on the death anniversary of her son, Eddie? (2017/2010)
Ans: Mrs. Meldon met with a man on the death anniversary of her son who was in the same battalion as
Eddie. He told Mrs. Meldon that Eddie was died due to a shell while he was in trench with other soldiers. His
body was mutilated due to the explosion of shell and so his body was not buried because there was nothing
to bury.

Q8: Who was Eddie? How did he die? (2009)
Ans: Eddie was the only son of Mrs. Meldon. He enlisted himself in the British army during the first
world war. When he became a captain, he went to the line in France where he was hiding in a
trench with other soldiers. After a few days, a shell came right into the middle of the trench which
killed all those who were hiding in it. The bomb utterly obliterated Eddie and his comrades.
‘War seems to me an organized butchery of boys.’ –Mrs. Meldon
Q9: Why did Mrs. Meldon call herself the most lonely woman? (2018)
Ans: Mrs. Meldon calls herself the most lonely woman because she was a bereaved mother whose only son,
Eddie, died in the battle field during the first world war. She was also a widow. Her husband, Tom, died due
to a heart attack. She left with her only brother but he was utterly absorbed in his scientific experiments.
Hence, she consider herself the most lonely woman in the entire world. She shows her feeling by exclaiming
that:
‘I am the most lonely woman, cruelly alone.’
The Count’s Revenge
Q1: Why and from whom did the Count of Monte Cristo want to take revenge? OR What was the past
story of Count of Monte Cristo? OR Who brought about the disgrace of the Count of Morcerf and why?
(2018/2016/2015/2013/2009)
Ans: The count of Monte Cristo, formerly known as Edmond Dantes, was a sailor before and his shop docked
at Marseilles after a long voyage. He wanted to marry a beautiful Catalan girl named Mercedes. There was a
fisherman, Fernand Mondego, who also wanted to marry Mercedes. So, Fernand Mondego hatched a
conspiracy with his friend and proved Edmond Dantes a spy of exiled French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
Edmond Dantes was sent to and underground dungeon for life time imprisonment. He passed fourteen
years there and somehow he escaped from the prison and became so rich. For this reason, he wanted to
take revenge from the Count of Morcerf formerly known as Fernand Mondego.
‘An evil doer is always punished.’
Q2: What charges were leveled against the count of Morcerf? (2016/2013/2010)
Ans: In 1823, when the Count of Morcerf was a captain in French army, he surrendered the fortress of
Yanina to Turks after taking bribe. He proved guilty in the chamber of deputies. Firstly, he denied the charge
but at the same moment a woman was brought there who was a live evident of the incident.
Q3: ‘The Count of Morcerf was a villain through and through.’ Support the statement by textual evidence.
(2019/2016)
Ans: : The count of Monte Cristo, formerly known as Edmond Dantes, was a sailor before and his shop
docked at Marseilles after a long voyage. He wanted to marry a beautiful Catalan girl named Mercedes.
There was a fisherman, Fernand Mondego, who also wanted to marry Mercedes. So, Fernand Mondego
hatched a conspiracy with his friend and proved Edmond Dantes a spy of exiled French emperor Napoleon
Bonaparte. Edmond Dantes was sent to and underground dungeon for life time imprisonment. He passed
fourteen years there. In this way, we can conclude that the Count of Morcerf was an antagonist through and
through.
Q4: Why did Albert challenge the count of Monte Cristo to fight a duel? OR What were Albert’s plan to
avenge the family honor? (2017/2014/2012/2009)

Beauchamp told Albert that the Count of Monte Cristo was the same person who published the articles
about treachery of the Count of Morcerf in his newspaper. After knowing these facts, Albert challenged the

the Countess of Morcerf to the house of the Count of Monte Cristo successful? Discuss. OR Why did Albert
not fight a duel with the Count of Monte Cristo? (2018/2012/2011/2010)
Ans: When the Countess of Morcerf came to know that her son, Albert, challenged the Count of Monte
Cristo to fight a duel with him then she visited the palace of the Count of Monte Cristo in Champs Elyssess to
beg for the life of her son from him. This visit was quite successful as the Countess of Morcerf came to know
about the villainy of her husband and she told everything to Albert after getting back home. Albert made his
mind not to fight a duel and beg for forgiveness from the Count of Monte Cristo.
Q6: What does the Count of Morcerf say when the Count of Monte Cristo discloses his identity? (2011)

send you to the tomb again.’
Q7: What are two dominating qualities of Albert? (2017)
Ans: The first dominating quality of Albert was his bravery and boldness. When he came to know that his
friend the Count of Monte Cristo was the one who disgraced his family, Albert at once decided to fight a
duel with him in spite of the marksman skills of the Count of Monte Cristo.
The second quality of Albert is his dignified attitude towards family honor. He did not anyway compromise
on this matter.
Q8: Why did the Count of Monte Cristo write his will? (2019)
Ans: In the end of Scene II, the count of Monte Cristo wrote his will and got it signed by Morrel and
Bertuccio. He has done this because of the meeting with the countess of Morcerf. She begged him to forgive
her son and hindered him to kill Albert. The count of Monte Cristo promised that he will shoot the first fire
in air and on Albert’s turn, he will be shot. So, he prepared his will because he knew that he was going to die
in the morning.
IMPORTANT PARAGRAPHS
FACEBOOK AND THE STUDENTS/ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA/SOCIAL NETWORKING
Facebook is the world’s largest social network used daily by millions of individuals worldwide, but
privacy and safety is far from this amusing social network. Facebook can be accessed by anyone,
and anywhere, which makes it unsafe, risky and concerning. Individuals who make a facebook
account have their private information displayed to the entire world, and even if they private their
information, it can never be safe online. Facebook is accessible in some schools throughout the
world, but it should be banned since it has a negative affect on children and their studies. Facebook
causes students to lose their concentration towards studies and school. Due to facebook bullying
has begun to affect many school children. Facebook is not only unsafe, but causes children to have
lower self esteem. Facebook has so many negative affects in people’s lives, and should not be
accessible to school children under any circumstances. To begin with, facebook causes students to
lack in their studies and school. When facebook is accessible at school, children spend their time on
facebook when they should be studying and concentrating on their assigned tasks. Facebook is like
a dark hole for children that will ruin their career and future. Also, having access to facebook in
computer oriented classrooms causes children to concentrate on facebook instead of the teacher’s
lectures. Furthermore, facebook is like a jail, you sit in front of it all day and you do not experience
the things happening around you. Facebook also snatches away any form of physical activity
children should have during school. In conclusion, facebook causes children to lack in school and
have less effort towards their studies. It also causes children to suffer from low self esteem due to
it’s social activities and social cliques. Facebook is like a weapon for bullies who use it to easily

humiliate and harm their victims. This social networking site may seem exciting and catching from a
far, but once you are close, it is far from safe and entertaining.
USES AND ABUSES OF CELLPHONE
A mobile phone or cell phone is an electronic telecommunication device with the same basic capability as a
conventional fixed-line telephone, but which is also entirely portable and is not required to be connected
with a wire to the telephone network. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, a mobile
phone can support many additional services such as SMS for text messaging, packet switching for access to
the Internet, and MMS for sending and receiving photos and videos. In less than twenty years, mobile
phones have gone from being rare and expensive pieces of equipment used by businesses to an all pervasive
low-cost personal item. In many countries, mobile phones now outnumber land-line telephones, with most
adults and many children now owning mobile phones.
As with many new technologies, concerns have arisen about the effects on health from using a mobile
telephone. There is a small amount of scientific evidence for an increase of certain types of rare tumours
(cancer) in long-time, to persistent heavy users. Another controversial but more lethal concern is the
correlation with road traffic accidents. Furthermore, students waste a lot of time using mobile phone and
making friends which affects their studies badly.
Despite all the abuses of cell phones, one cannot deny the uses of mobiles. They are one's easily available
help in case of an emergency. They save a lot of time and energy in making multiple calls to track a single
person.
All one has to remember is that mobiles were invented for our convenience and not to create
nuisance. If used judiciously, wisely and with public etiquette, mobiles can be of great use.
Technology is here and it is here to stay. It is indeed up to us to let it guide our lives or to allow our
sense of reason to control the right use of technology.
ESSAY: WATER SHORTAGE IN KARACHI /
PROBLEMS OF KARACHI CITY
Many areas of Karachi are facing an acute water shortage due to slackness of Sindh
government and other authorities, compelling citizens to drink bottled and tanker water.
A few years ago, only summer seasons witnessed water shortage in Karachi but now, the
citizens have to face water-related crisis in all seasons. Karachi is a mega city of Pakistan
which requires more than 1,000 million gallons of water per day for fulfilling the water need
of its high population.
The three main reasons of this problem are the rule of tanker mafia, lobbying of mineral
water companies and Karachi Water and Sewerage Board.
The role of water tanker mafia in the metropolis nowadays is worse than ever. Many areas of
the city depend on the water tankers because they have no supply of water from KWSB. The
rule of tanker mafia in Karachi had made the water situation worst.
Secondly, the lobbying of mineral water companies has also made the life of Karachiities
worst. They first basically targeted the people of elite class and then by soft advertisement
goes through the mind of the people of all classes and give them the sense of hygiene water
which is of course only the mineral water. The use of mineral water is nowadays a status
symbol too but like the water tanker every people of the society can’t afford it.
Last but not the least, poor power supply and water shortage have a major connection with
each other. In most of the areas, the water supply timing by KWSB and load-shedding hours
are same so people can’t be able to store water.

Water is a basic necessity of life but unfortunately, people of Karachi don’t have full access
to it. By going through all the three hurdles in the path of getting water, people end up using
unhygienic water on which they have easy access. In Karachi, people usually have the
problem of stomach related diseases and this is unfortunately because of no supply of clean
drinking water.
