Q.1 READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS GIVEN BELOW: 10 MARKS
In my grandmother’s living room, a large wooden clock hangs above the doorway. Its pendulum swings with slow, deliberate grace, and each chime echoes through the house like a gentle reminder. For years, I thought of it merely as a piece of furniture, part of the background. But now, I realise it has been quietly teaching me about time all along. The clock never rushes. It does not skip a beat or linger too long on any moment. Its rhythm is steady, impartial, and unchanging. In contrast, my own days often feel hurried, as though I am constantly chasing after something just out of reach. Yet, watching that clock, I am reminded that life unfolds one moment at a time, no faster and no slower than it should.
It also bears the marks of age — a small crack in the glass, faded numbers on its face. Still, it keeps working, its hands moving with determination. Perhaps that is another lesson: we may grow older, gather scars, and lose some of our shine, but our purpose remains if we keep going. When I visit my grandmother now, I make it a point to sit beneath that clock. Its ticking fills the silence, and I find myself breathing more evenly, more deeply. In a world obsessed with speed, the clock whispers a different truth — that patience is not the absence of progress, but the very foundation of it.

vi. What effect does sitting beneath the clock have on the narrator?

vii. What “truth” does the clock whisper, according to the narrator?
A) Patience is weakness B) Patience is foundation of progress C) Time should be wasted D) Silence is harmful
viii. How does the narrator initially view the clock?
A) As a teacher of life B) As a piece of furniture C) As a historical treasure D) As a broken object

Q.2 READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES AND MAKE NOTESS ON THEM ALSO GIVE A SUITABLE TITLE TO THEM :- 4 MARKS
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we live and work. It enables machines to perform tasks that once required human intelligence—recognizing speech, analysing data, making decisions, and even creating art. AI powers virtual assistants, recommendation systems, self-driving cars, and advanced medical diagnostics. Businesses use AI to streamline operations, predict trends, and improve customer experiences. However, the rise of AI also presents challenges. Automation may replace certain jobs, leading to unemployment in some sectors. There are ethical concerns about data privacy, decision-making transparency, and potential misuse in surveillance or weaponry. To harness AI responsibly, regulations and ethical guidelines are essential. Education systems must adapt to prepare workers for AI-driven industries, focusing on skills like creativity, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence—areas where humans still excel. AI is not inherently good or bad; its impact depends on how it is developed and applied. Used wisely, it can complement human capabilities and improve quality of life.

When they build one, I will go.” “If I start a school, will you come?” I ask, half-joking. “Yes,” he says, smiling broadly.
