SECTION A READING

Q 1. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow: 10 Marks

No one would quarrel with the state for having honoured Rasipuram Krishnaswamy
Laxman with Padma Vibhushan. For Laxman the creator of the silent but observant
` C o m m o n M a n ' w h o h a s k e p t t h r e e generations of readers of The Times of India
company at breakfast, is no friend of power and wealth.
Apart from a brief interval, Laxman has been continuously at work for the last Fifty-eight years,
recording foibles with an unsparing, independent eye. He has punctured the pride of many
people through his cartoons which take a close look at peoples pretences and bring them out
in the open in a matter of fact manner. Even now he has the ability to frankly criticise
people and their actions and he continues to offer amusement to the people of India.
The Common Man, The legendary hero of Laxman's pocket cartoon You Said It' has
represented the Indian since the late 1940's. As a voiceless witness — accompanied by his wife
or by a changing cast of characters — he has battled several things. If no one remembers today
who The Times of India cartoonist was before Laxman came in, it is because there was none.
Laxman who joined the paper in 1947 had become indispensable within ten years. Having
launched off as a freelance cartoonist in Mysore, he had hoped to work
in Delhi. He first came to Mumbai only to look at the sights. His tourist adventure
become more serious when a friend offered to take him to Mumbai Stock Exchange. After
amusing himself, watching the shouting and gesticulating at the stock exchange, he
walked down the Meadows Street. He saw a large board which read — The Free Press
Journal. He went in to meet the editor and was given a job.
He did a variety of daily cartoons, caricatures and Sunday specials for the Free Press Journal. India
had by then achieved independence but at the cost of partition. Laxman the caricaturist,
had a field day with Gandhi, Jinnah, Mountbatten, Nehru and other 'actors' in those
momentous dramas.
Laxman soon quit the The Free Press Journal and joined The Times of India. He just walked into
The Times of India office, `No one stopped me, so I wandered in, came up to the third floor
and asked to see the Editor recalls Laxman. He was asked to meet Walter Langhammer,
who was the art director of The Times of India. Langhammer already knew his work and hired
him immediately. From that day, Laxman's cartoons have greeted the readers of the newspaper
every morning with the themes ranging from political commentary to humour.

Q 2. Read the poem given below and answer the question that follow: 10 Marks

Macavity a Mystery cat: he's called the hidden Paw

For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law
He's the bafflement of the Scotland Yard, the flying squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime —Macavity is not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime —Macavity is not there!
Macavity is a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed.
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air "
But I tell you once and once again —Macavity is not-there!
( (a) Given below is a summary of the poem. Complete it by writing words/phrases against the

Q 3. Write an essay on any one of the following topics: (Word limit-200 words). (10 marks)

A The Best things in life are free.

B A stitch in time saves nine.
C Educative value of films.

Ans 3. (b) A stitch in time saves line

The dictum: "stitch in time saves nine", signifies that the right thing should be done at the
right time. If a garment requires a stitch, it should not be postponed, otherwise later it may
require nine, i.e., many more stitches. A little fire if not put out at the right time, may engulf
an entire house or town. a little discontent among the workers can result
in general strike. A little revolt or rebellion in a country can cause havoc in the matter of law
and order and lead to overthrow of government and anarchy or chaos. A little lacunae in
the arrangement of a function can upset the whole affair. If people don't go to schools, colleges,
factories and offices in time, there will be indiscipline and utter chaos. A student who goes on
postponing his lessons, can't study properly and has to repent in the long-run. It i rightly said,
"Procrastination is the thief of time." Time once lost is lost forever. Time and tide wait for
none.
Q 4. Study the picture given. Write a story or a description of what it suggests to you. There
