it is possible that at some time in the near future mankind will have
discovered a means of protecting itself from it. An earth quake strikes
without warning. When it does, its power is immense. If it strikes a

modern city, it can take down building and cause death and injury. If the
quake strikes the sea, huge tidal waves sweep inland. If it strikes the
mountain regions, avalanches roar down the valleys. There are three
da

regions in the world where earthquakes are mostly likely to happen.

Scientist call them earthquake zones. The first runs along the east coast
of the Asia continent and the second runs,down the west coast of
South America. The third runs across the south of Europe and North
Pa

America. In history, you willsee that they have occurred somewhere in

these zones. So it is possible for scientists to say where the earthquakes
will strike, but they cannot say exactly when.

26. (a) Make notes or summarize the following passage.

i.N
Friendship is a unique bond between caring individuals. It goes beyond mere
presence, involving shared feelings, experiences, and laughter. Friends resemble stars
brightening our darkest nights, making life brighter and more meaningful. What’s
remarkable about friendship is its diversity. Friends come in various shapes and sizes,

la
differing in interests, personalities, and backgrounds. This diversity weaves a rich and
fascinating tapestry, exposing us to new perspectives and experiences. Friendship isn’t
a luxury; it’s a necessity for a fulfilling life. Friends act as a safety net, offering comfort
sa
in sadness and sharing in joys. They make life’s journey more enjoyable, less lonely,
and provide essential support during challenging times. True friendship, a rare gem,
isn’t about quantity but the depth of connection. True friends accept us with all our
flaws, standing by us in good and bad times. In a chaotic world, true friends offer
da

stability and trust. Trust forms the foundation of strong friendships. Like a house needs
a solid foundation, friendship needs trust to thrive. It’s a delicate thread weaving
through the fabric, binding hearts together. Friendship isn’t always serious; it’s about
Pa

having fun together. Playing games, telling jokes, or just hanging out, friends bring joy
and laughter, making ordinary moments extraordinary. Memories created with friends
become lifelong treasures. Life’s challenges become less daunting with friends by our
side. In difficulties, friends offer a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and fresh
w.

perspectives. The shared strength of friendship is a powerful force. In the tapestry of

friendship, we learn about others and ourselves. Friends mirror our strengths and
weaknesses, helping us grow. Through ups and downs, we discover our resilience and
true selves. In the garden of friendship, we find a treasure lasting a lifetime – joy,
ww

support, and love making life truly magical. OR

(b) Write a paragraph of about 150 words on ‘Your Memorable Journey’.

27. (a) Write a letter to the Headmaster of your school requesting him to help you obtain a
duplicate mark sheet of class XII, which you lost while travelling. OR

(ii) Mrs. Mageswari ________ (teach) me Maths for four years. (Use the right tense form)
(iii) My grandfather ________ visit this temple when he was young. (Use a modal verb)
(iv) I _______ not go out in the dark. (Use a semi - modal verb)
