VACATION WORKSHEET: ENGLISH

SECTION A: READING
1. Read the passage given below and answer the
following questions:
1. Subhas Chandra Bose fulfilled a promise to his father that he would sit for the Indian
Civil Service examination in London. He secured the fourth position in 1920 but then
went on to fulfill his own wish. He resigned from the coveted service the following
year; saying ―only on the soil of sacrifice and suffering can we raise our national
edifice. Returning to India, he plunged into the national struggle and by 1923, was
secretary of the Bengal State Congress and President of All India Youth Congress.
2. By 1927, he emerged, along with Jawaharlal Nehru, as leader of the new youth
movement, which came into its own by playing a major role in the anti-Simon
Commission agitation which swept India that year. He was also the chief organizer of
the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress (INC) in December 1928, which
demanded that the goal of the congress be changed to Purna Swaraj‘or Complete
Independence‘.
3. Imprisonment in the Civil Disobedience movement followed by bad health in 1932
took him to Europe where he observed European politics, particularly Fascism under
Mussolini and Communism in the Soviet Union. He was impressed by both and
believed that authoritarian rule was essential for achieving radical social goals.

4. In fact, it is in this period that political views of Nehru and Bose begin to diverge
sharply, especially on the issue of Fascism and Nazism. Nehru was so vehemently
opposed to Fascism that he refused to meet Mussolini even when the latter sought him
out, whereas Bose not only met Mussolini but was impressed by him. Nehru was
sharply critical of the growing danger to the world from the rise of Hitler. Bose, on
the other hand, never expressed that kind of aversion to Fascism, and was quite willing
to seek the support of Germany and later Japan against Britain. However, he was not
happy with the German attack on Soviet Union in 1941, and that was one reason why
he left Germany for Japan. For Bose, Socialism and Fascism were not polar opposites,
as they were for Nehru.
5. In 1938, Bose was unanimously elected, with the full support of Gandhiji, as
Congress president for the Haripura session. But the next year, he decided to stand
again, this time as a representative of militant and radical groups. An election
ensued which Bose won by 1,580 to 1,377 votes, but the battle lines were drawn. The
challenge he threw by calling Gandhian leaders rightists who were working for a
compromise with the British government was answered by 12 members of the working
committee resigning and asking Bose to choose his own committee. Nehru did not
resign with other members but he was unhappy with Bose‘s casting of aspersions on
senior leaders. He tried his best to mediate and persuade Bose not to resign.
6. The crisis came to a head at Tripuri in March 1939, with Bose refusing to nominate
a new working Committee and ultimately resigning. The clash was of policy and tactics.
Bose -18- wanted an immediate struggle led by Gandhiji, whereas Gandhiji feltthe time
was not right for struggle.
7. Having burnt his boats with the Congress. Bose went to Germany and then to Japan
in 1943 to seek help in the struggle against their common enemy, Britain. He finally
went to Singapore to take charge of the Indian National Army (INA) which had been
formed by Mohan Singh in 1941 from Indian prisoners of war captured by the Japanese.
The INA was clear that it would go into action only on the invitation of the INC; it was
not set up as a rival Centre of power. Bose made this more explicit when on July 6,
1944, in a broadcast on Azad Hind Radio addressed to Gandhiji, he said, Father of our
Nation! In this holy war of India‘s liberation, we ask for your blessing and good wishes.

2. Read the passages given below and answer the

following questions:
Global weather is warming leading to Arctic meltdown. This is primarily a result of
the greenhouse effect’ caused by too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which
acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the plant. Burning of fossil fuels like
coal, oil and natural gas for energy cutting down and burning forests to create
pastures and plantations leads to carbon accumulation. Refrigeration and air
conditioning and certain agricultural practices also aggravate the problem by
releasing additional potent global warming gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Over the last century, global average temperature has increased by more than 1.0o
F. A warming would alsohave the potential to change rainfall and snow patterns,
increase droughts and severe storms, reduce lake ice cover, melt glaciers, increase
sea levels and change plant and animal behaviour.The impact of global warming on
our planet is extremely serious and if this problem is not talked on an urgent basis
it will lead to melting of polar ice caps leading to an increase in sea level
drowning coastlines and slowly submerging continents. Our generation needs to
give a healing touch to the earth which we have ourselves made sick.

On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions.
(1) The word in the passage which means the same as t̳ o make worse ‘is:
(2) According to the pie chart the main greenhouse gas emissions is by:
(3) Global warming is a result of:

(b) burning forests.
(c) burning natural gas.
(d) all the above

(b) reduce lake ice cover.
(c) create pastures.
(d) melt glaciers.
