XI 35. Read carefully the following passage and answer the questions given below. 2 x 2=4
These days, it is not unusual to see people listening to music or using their electronic gadgets while crossing
busy roads or travelling on public transports, regardless of the risks involved. I have often wondered why they take such
risks : is it because they want to exude a sense of independence, or is it that they want to tell the world to stop
bothering them ? Or is it that they just want to show how cool they are ? Whether it is a workman or an executive,
earphones have become an inseparable part of our lives, sometimes even leading to tragicomic situations.
The other day, an electrician had come to our house to fix something. We told him in detail what needed to be done.
But after he left, I found that the man had done almost nothing. It later turned out that he could not hear our directions
clearly because he had an earphone on. Hundreds of such earphones addicts commute by the Delhi Metro every day.
While one should not begrudge anyone their moments of privacy or their love for music, the fact is ‘iPod oblivion’ can
sometimes be very dangerous
A. Why are the people taking risks on the road ? B. Why didn’t the electrician carry out the work properly ?
XII . Answer the following question in about 8-10 questions : 1x4=4
