The 2 electrons are lost by the magnesium atom and are gained by chlorine atoms to form a magnesium ion and 2 chloride ions.

Solution of magnesium chloride conducts electricity because MgCl2 (an ionic compound) dissociates into Mg2+ and Cl– ions when dissolved in water and hence, conducts electricity.

4. Fertilisation results in the formation of zygote. Zygote divides several times to form an embryo. The ovule develops a thick coat and changes into a seed. The

ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form the fruit.

A white precipitate is formed when aqueous solutions of sodium sulphate and barium chloride are mixed. Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + BaSO4(↓) It is a double displacement reaction. A reaction in which there is an exchange of ions between the reactants is termed as double displacement reaction.

SECTION C 7. Plaster of Paris (CaSO4 . ½ H2O – calcium sulphate hemihydrate) is used for plastering of fractured bones. Preparation of Plaster of Paris It is prepared by heating gypsum to 373 K in a kiln.

CaSO4 . 2H2O 373 K → CaSO4 . ½ H2O + 32 H2O

(Gypsum)

Precaution Gypsum should not be heated above 373 K, otherwise it will form CaSO4.

OR Sweet tooth leads to tooth decay because bacteria act on food particles remaining in the mouth and produce acid.

The pH of the mouth cavity falls below 5.5 and the enamel of tooth dissolves resulting in cavities. Toothpastes are generally basic in nature and hence, they neutralise the excess acid produced in the mouth and prevent tooth decay.

• Flow of energy is unidirectional. • Terrestrial plants take about 1% of the Sun’s energy and change it into chemical energy by photosynthesis. • Much of the energy is lost as heat, used for digestion, doing work, for growth and reproduction. • Only 10% of organic matter present at each trophic level is available to next trophic level. • Food chains are mainly of 3 – 4 trophic levels (because of 10% law). • The number of producers is maximum (the number reduces in higher trophic levels). • Food webs are more common (as compared to isolated food chains). •Biologicalmagnificationisobserved.

General Instructions:

I. The question paper is divided into three sections:

SECTION A: Reading 20 MARKS

SECTION B: Writing and Grammar 30 MARKS

SECTION C: Literature 30 MARKS

II. All questions are compulsory.

III. You may attempt any section at a time.

All questions of that particular section must be attempted in the correct order.

SECTION-A

(Reading) 20

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. Cricket is a global passion, played everywhere from Test match arenas to village greens, tropical beaches

and dusty back lots. Cricket is the world's second most popular spectator sport after football.

2. The origin of cricket is somewhere in the Dark Ages. All research concedes that the game derived from a

very old, widespread and uncomplicated pastime by which one player served up an object, be it a small

piece of wood or a ball, and another hit it with a suitably fashioned club. Cricket was first recorded in

16th-century England, and it was played in grammar schools, farm communities and everywhere in

between. But things really took off when 18th-century nobles realized it was a great sport.

3. The oldest surviving set of cricket laws date from 1744 - printed on a handkerchief, naturally. It's now in

the MCC Museum at Lord's in London. The oldest permanent fixture is the annual Eton v Harrow match,

played since 1805. A young Lord Byron turned out for Harrow in the first match, though history doesn't

record how poetic - or "mad, bad and dangerous" - his bowling was.

4. The first international match was in 1877 when Australia beat England in Melbourne. The match was

dubbed a "Test", since the grueling nature of playing over five days was deemed the ultimate "test" for

any side. But it was Australia's first win on English soil - in 1882 at The Oval in London - that led to

matches between the two nations being christened the Ashes. Following the defea t, newspapers published

an obituary mourning "the death of English cricket", adding that "the body will be cremated and the ashes

taken to Australia".

5. A One Day International (ODT) is a form of limited overs cricket, played between two teams with

international status, in which each team faces a fixed number of overs, usually 50. The Cricket World

Cup is played in this format. The international one -day game is a late twentieth-century development.

The first ODI was played on 5 January 1971 between Austral ia and England at the Melbourne Cricket

Ground. (344words).

1.1 Attempt any eight of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read. 1x8=8

a. According to the passage, how did the game of Cricket originate?

b. Where can we find the oldest sets of Cricket laws?

c. Which match did Lord Byron play?

d. When was the first international match played?

e. Which countries played that match?

f. Why the matches between Australia and England were titled "The Ashes"?

g. In which format is the Cricket world cup played?

h. When did the ODIs begin?

i. Which word in paragraph no.5 means the same as 'exhausting'?

2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. Politeness has been well defined as benevolence in trifles. I t is the desire to put those whom we

meet perfectly at their ease, and save them from every kind of petty discomfort and annoyance. The

limited part of benevolence called politeness requires only an inclination to make them happy

temporarily, while they are in our presence, and when this can be done without any sacrifice on our

part or only with a slight sacrifice of personal comfort.

2. Politeness is said to be one of the important characteristics of civilised person. Politeness is the art

of choosing among your thoughts. It must be implemented in every walk of life. When we deal with

people elder to us we are polite. But, an honest polite person is polite with everyone, people of

2

lower status, workers and even children. Not only with humans but also with animals we must be

polite as they are our helpers.

3. Politeness is a skill. Like any other skill, you can master it with practice. The greatest enemy of

politeness is ego. To be a polite person, you have to sacrifice your ego. It is difficult for an egoist to be

polite. You have to imply politeness in your thinking, speech and actions. Actions work more than

words. Polite actions will give fine results. Politeness will reduce your stress and boost you to be

productive. Apart from your present benefits, you protect your future. Being polite makes you mentally

healthy. In our daily life we come across many incidents with people nearby and ourselves.

4. Different rules of behaviour have to be observed, accordingly as we are in the street or in the drawing -

room, at home or at school, in the company of friends or of strangers. There is also to be considered the

great diversity of social etiquette which distinguishes one country from another.

5. Politeness, besides being a duty that we owe to others, is a valuable possession for ourselves. It costs

nothing, and yet may in many cases bring much profit. The great advantage of this excellence of

conduct was very clearly expressed by Dr. Johnson, when he said that the difference between a

well-bred and an ill- bred man is that one immediately attracts your liking, the other your dislike. (378
