SECTION-A(2x10=20) Objective Question
Read the passage given below carefully and answer the
questions followed by choosing the most appropriate options:
Cataract is the major cause of blindness, which is also
caused by a damage to the cornea. It occurs more often in old age. As one
starts growing old, the lens of the eye hardens, loses it transparency and
becomes opaque. It obstructs the light rays from entering the eye.
The onset of cataract blurs the vision. Sometimes, the
cataract patient sees multiple images instead of a single object image. Because
of the gradual development of cataract, the afflicted person loses his/her
vision and the world becomes dark to him/her.
The development of cataract is a complex process.
However, the following factors can be attributed to its formation. Cataract
generally develops in old age but sometimes, children are born with cataract
because of hereditary defect. Eye injuries too, can cause cataract.

cataract earlier than others. Researchers opine that the smoke inhaled while

SECTION-D (2x5-10) LONG ANSWER QUESTION
15. How according to you, can peace and
liberty be maintained in a state?
Ans- Various people advocate various means
of maintaining peace and liberty in a state. Some are in favour of dictatorship
while others favour democracy. I think the best course lies in good governance.
Whatever is well-administered is most fruitful for the citizens as well as the
rulers. It ensures peace and liberty to the common man. A strong state, in
itself, is safe against any external threat. Dedicated rulers, enlightened
citizens, and proper law enforcing agencies can establish peace and harmony in
the state. Narrow considerations based on region, religion, caste, etc. should
be discouraged because these are potent threats to internal security as they
fuel dissensions among the people. Free expression of opinions must be allowed
but respect for law and order be observed. People should be conscious of their
privileges and rights as well as duties and responsibilities. This is the only
way to maintain peace and liberty.

school morning assembly on the topic: "Effects of Social Media on
Youth".
Ans- Good
Morning, Respected Principal, Teachers, and My Dear Friends,
Today,
I would like to talk to you about the effects of social media on youth. Social
media has become an integral part of our lives, especially for the younger
generation. While it has many benefits, it also has some negative effects that
we need to be aware of.
Firstly,
social media can be addictive, and it can lead to excessive screen time. This
can affect a young person's mental and physical health, leading to problems
such
as anxiety, depression, and obesity. Additionally, social media can expose
youth to cyberbullying and online predators, which can have serious
consequences.
Furthermore,
social media can also negatively impact a young person's self-esteem and body
image. Social media platforms are filled with images and messages that promote
unrealistic beauty standards, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low
self-esteem. This can also lead to harmful behaviors such as eating disorders
and body dysmorphia.
While
social media has many benefits, we must also be aware of its negative effects
on youth. It's important for parents and educators to monitor and limit screen
time, and for young people to be aware of the potential dangers of social
media. By promoting a healthy balance between social media use and other
activities, we can ensure that youth are able to thrive in a safe and positive
environment.
Thank
you.
