TASK 2
Assignment

Q1. Read the passage and answer the following questions.

1. If you’re like most kids, you may love snow. Not only can it get you out of school, but
it’s also fun to play with. Who doesn’t love to sled and build snowmen? Snow can
also be dangerous, too. You may have heard your parents talk about how difficult it
can be to drive in snow. Car accidents aren’t the only dangers created by snow. If
you’re ever skiing in the mountains, you’ll want to be aware of avalanches. An
avalanche is a sudden flow of snow down a slope, such as a mountain. The amount
of snow in an avalanche will vary based on many things, but it can be such a huge
pile that it can bury the bottom of a slope in dozens of feet of snow.
2. Avalanches can be caused by many things. Some of them are natural. For example,
new snow or rain can cause built up snow to loosen and fall down the side of a
mountain. Earthquakes and the movement of animals have also been known to
cause avalanches. Artificial triggers can also cause avalanches. For example,
snowmobiles, skiers, gunshots and explosives have all been known to cause
avalanches. Avalanches usually occur during the winter and spring, when snowfall
 is greatest. As they are dangerous to any living beings in their path, avalanches have
destroyed forests, roads, railroads and even entire towns.
3. Warning signs exist that allow experts to predict – and often prevent – avalanches
from occurring. When over a foot of fresh snow falls, experts know to be on the
lookout for avalanches. Explosives can be used in places with massive snow build-
ups to trigger smaller avalanches that don’t pose a danger to persons or property.
When deadly avalanches do occur, the moving snow can quickly reach over 80 miles
per hour. Skiers caught in such avalanches can be buried under dozens of feet of
snow. While it’s possible to dig out of such avalanches, not all are able to escape.If
you get tossed about by an avalanche and find yourself buried under many feet of
snow, you might not have a true sense of which way is up and which way is down.
Some avalanche victims have tried to dig their way out, only to find that they were
upside down and digging themselves farther under the snow rather than to the top !
Experts suggest that people caught in an avalanche try to “swim” to the top of the
moving snow to stay close to the surface. Once the avalanche stops, do your best
to dig around you to create a space for air, so you can breathe easier. Then, do your
best to figure out which way is up and dig in that direction to reach the surface and
signal rescuers.

Based on the passage, answer the following questions.

I In paragraph 1, what does the phrase "an avalanche is a sudden flow of snow down
a slope" emphasize?

II Complete the following with the correct option from the two given:

Avalanches are considered dangerous because...

a) they are unpredictable and cause significant damage to forests, roads, and even towns.

b) they occur frequently during the winter and spring and are impossible to prevent.

III Support the writer’s idea that avalanches can be triggered by both natural and
artificial factors.

IV Select the option that best reflects the concept of a warning system for avalanches
in real-world scenarios:

a) A weather agency uses sensors to detect heavy snowfall and alerts nearby residents to
potential danger.

b) A ski resort closes certain trails after witnessing animals moving on the slopes.
V State whether the following statement is True or False:

Explosives are used by experts to cause controlled avalanches that minimize risks.

VI The writer mentions that digging out of an avalanche can be challenging. Which
of the following is a recommended practice for survival?
A. Dig downwards to create more space for air.
B. Remain still and wait for rescuers to find you.
C. "Swim" to the top of moving snow to stay close to the surface.
D. Focus only on moving horizontally to avoid being buried deeper.

VII List any two natural causes of avalanches mentioned in the passage.

VIII Fill in the blank with the correct option from those given:

In the phrase “create a space for air,” the word “space” refers to...
A. A large open area in the snow for easier rescue.
B. A pocket of air to ensure you can breathe while buried.
C. A pathway to dig out of the snow effectively.
D. A void for rescuers to identify your location.

2. There is a busy road in front of your school. A large number of students have to cross
the road while going back home. They run a great risk. Write a letter to the Editor, Navjiwan
Times, Agra drawing attention of the authorities concerned to the problem. Make a request
to mark a zebra crossing and to put traffic lights in front of your school. You are Amit/Anita,
Class X, New Age Public School, Ram Nagar, Agra.

games over the span of six years. Write an analytical paragraph about the given information
in about 100 - 120 words.
