UNSEEN PASSAGES FOR PRACTICE
PASSAGE -1
Garbage is a great environment hazard. It comes from various sources—used paper, tiffin
packings, plastic bags, ice-cream wrappers, bottle caps, fallen leaves from trees and many more.
Garbage makes the premises ugly, unkempt and breeds diseases. A lot of trash that is thrown
away contains material that can be recycled and reused such as paper, metals and glass which
can be sent to the nearest recycling centre or disposed of to the junkdealer.
It also contains organic matter such as leaves which can enrich soil fertility. A compost pit can be
made at a convenient location where the refuse can be placed with layers of soil and an occasional
sprinkling of water. This would help decomposition to make valuable fertilizer. This would also
prevent pollution that is usually caused by burning such organic waste.
Now answer the following questions by choosing correct options: (5x1=5marks)
1.Garbage originates from-
(a)used paper, tiffin, packings, plastic bags and fallen leaves from trees
(b)leftovers of food
(c)fallen branches from trees
(d)building materials.

(a)spreading foul smell
(b)slowing our vehicles on the road
(c)spreading several diseases
(d)all the above.
3.What happens to the disposed of material at the recycling centre?
(a)It is thrown away
(b)It is recycled for reuse
(c)It is sold to the rag pickers
(d)It is dumped into the ground.

4.Fallen leaves from trees are useful because they

(a)solve the problem of fuel wood in village households
(b)enrich water quality(c)enrich soil fertility

PASSAGE -2
Patriotism is an old concept, as old perhaps as the earliest of humans civilisations. But all through
the history of mankind, it has been narrowly understood. Today people have begun to realise that
patriotism is an essential part of human instinct. Patriotism has its negative sides particularly when
it exceeds its proper bounds. People who think their own country to be the best and are blind to its
weaknesses are not patriots at all.
We are the members of a large human family and so cannot neglect our duties and responsibilities
towards it. Our love for the country should be conditioned by respect for the whole community.
Narrow prejudice can do nothing except to bring misfortune. In trying to overlook others’ interest in
the modem world, we harm our own.Patriotism should be tempered with reason so that it may not
be an evil.

Question 3 : Case study based questions

History Chapter 1 : Introduction to History

1) Chronology is the way events are arranged in or according to the order of time. Knowledge of
the past in the correct order gives us an idea of what happened first and what came later.
People who study the past use chronology as the first step towards understanding historical
events. In order to depict historical events in chronological order, historians use the timeline. It
looks like a long bar showing the events of the past and their dates.
a) What do you understand by chronology?
b) why is it important to study the past in chronological order?
c) How does a timeline look like?
History Chapter 2: The Earliest People
2) Sites are places where remains of things such as tools, weapons and buildings are found.
These may be found buried under the earth or on the surface of the earth, and sometimes even
underwater. Most of the sites where early man lived have been found near sources of water.
Hunsgi in Karnataka is one such site which is located between river Krishna and its tributary
Bheema. More than 16 sites are located here and many are still being discovered.
a) What do you understand by sites?

b) Where were these sites commonly found?

c) Where is the site of Hunsgi located?

3) Fire was one of the greatest and most important discoveries of the paleolitic age. Traces of
ash have been found at some Paleolithic sites, which lead us to the conclusion that human
beings had learnt how to make fire during the Paleolithic age. Fire was probably an accidental
discovery. While rubbing 2 pieces of stones or wood together, sparks must have been produced.
The early humans might have realised that these parks created fire, which could be used to
scare wild animals, cook meat, provide light at night and keep them warm in winters.

a) In which age was fire discovered?

b) What led us to the conclusion about usage of fire in that age?
c) For what purpose was fire used by early humans?

Geography Chapter 1 : Earth and the Solar System

4) Comet is an icy body which releases gas or dust. As it orbits around the sun, some of its eyes
begins to melt away due to the sun's heat, which results in the formation of its elongated tail.
Comets have 2 tails. One is made up of dust particles and the other is made up of electrically
charged gas. Comets are of 2 types-periodic and non-periodic. Periodic comets are seen at fixed
intervals. Non-periodic comets are those that we have been able to observe only once.
a) What is a comet?
b) Why does it form a tail?

c) Which type of comet is seen at fixed interval?

Civics Chapter 1:Understanding diversity

5) India is a secular country. It means people of India are free to practice and preach any religion
of their choice. Freedom of religion is a fundamental right guaranteed by our Constitution.
While Hinduism is the religion practiced by majority of people, other religions such as Islam,
Christianity, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Jainism also flourish in India. Each religion is
distinct as it has its own customs, traditions, festivals and places of worship.
a) What is the meaning of a secular country?
b) Which religion is practiced mostly by Indians?
c) How is each religion different and distinct from each other?

6) In earlier times, the caste system prevailing in India was based on the occupations of people.
Activities such as picking garbage, cutting hair and cleaning work were considered impure and
tasks of less value. People who did these were seen as dirty and impure. They were considered

word Dalit means people who have been broken or oppressed. They are now referred to as the
scheduled castes by the government.
