VI. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 5´1=5
Japans top three automakers Toyota, Honda and Nissan have united with the Japanese energy firms in
a push to commercialise greener, hydrogen fuel cell cars and build a network of fuelling stations. Along

e t
with ten Japanese energy groups including natural gas and distributors the companies are aiming to
build 100 filling stations by 2015 in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka, the companies said in a

. n
statement. The automakers are making a renewed push behind fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), which

a
convert hydrogen into electricity and emit water vapour. The companies say that the creation of a

h
hydrogen supply infrastructure network is crucial. Manufacturers must work to reduce the production

b
cost of hydrogen powered vehicles in order to make them commercially viable. 'Japanese automakers

ti
are continuing to drastically reduce the cost of manufacturing such systems and are aiming to launch
FCVs in the Japanese market mainly in the country's four major metropolitan areas in 2015', they said

ra
'with an aim to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 emitted by the transportation sector.
Automakers and hydrogen fuel suppliers will work together to expand the introduction of FCVs and

up
develop the hydrogen supply network throughout Japan.' The companies did not say how much they
planned to invest in the project. (Source: The Hindu, January 15, 2010)

It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and started living there. Again
the animals remembered a resolution against this in the early days and again Squealer was able to con-

n
vince them that this was not the case. It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the

.
brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in. But some of the animals were disturbed when

a
they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recre-

ib h
ation room, but also slept in the beds. Boxer passed it off as usual with "Napoleon is always right!",
but Clover, went to the end of the barn and tried to read the Seven Commandments which were

at
inscribed there. Curiously enough, the Fourth Commandment said: 'No animal shall sleep in a bed with
sheets' Clover was puzzled because he had not remembered that it mentioned sheets.

Bengali poems modeled on medieval Indian devotional lyrics, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1913, its first award to an Asian. Representative translations followed, of philosophical plays such as
Chitra (1913) and the King of the Dark Chambers (1914) and his novels The Home and the World
(1919) and Gora (1924). His short fiction often comments powerfully and courageously on Indian

national and social concerns, in the collections Hungry Stones (1916) Broken Ties (1925) and the
House Warming (1965) and in the novella the Broken Nest. Tagore had on excellent command of
