Question 1:
Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1. Heidi was enjoying herself in her new surroundings; she looked about till she found a shed, built against the hut, where the goats were kept; she peeped in, and saw it was empty. She continued her search and presently came to the fir trees behind the hut. A strong breeze was blowing through them, and there was a rushing and roaring in their topmost branches, Heidi stood still and listened. The sound growing fainter, she went on again, to the farther corner of the hut, and so round to where her grandfather was sitting. Seeing that he was in exactly the same position as when she left him, she went and placed herself in front of the old man, and putting her hands behind her back, stood and gazed at him. Her grandfather looked up, and as she continued standing there without moving, "What is it you want?" he asked
2. "I want to see what you have inside the house," said Heidi.
3. "Come then!" and the grandfather rose and went before her towards the hut.
4. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted anticipation of what she was going to see inside. "She is certainly not wanting in intelligence," he murmured to himself.
5. The old man now opened the door and Heidi stepped inside after him; she found herself in a good-sized room, which covered the whole ground floor of the hut. A table and a chair were the only furniture; in one corner stood the grandfather's bed, in another was hearth with a large kettle hanging above it; and on the further side was a large door in the wall - this was the cupboard.
6. Heidi looked carefully round the room, and asked, "Where am I to sleep, grandfather?"
7. "Wherever you like," he answered.
'She is certainly not wanting in intelligence', means
Question 2:
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best/most appropriate options:
1. World Wildlife Day just passed and so did thousands of birds and animals which face extinction on Earth. The UN finds one million animal and plant species confronting the end of their existence - species are vanishing thousands of times faster than over the last ten million years. The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that humanity has wiped out 83% of wild mammals and half of all plants. Human activity has altered 75% of Earth's surface, and wildlife forced into shrinking corners where, as the WWF finds, hunting, pollution and climate change have caused a 68% fall in mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish since 1970.
2. This loss, termed the sixth mass extinction, has huge implications for humanity. The WEF terms biodiversity loss as the second most impactful risk humanity faces, affecting the creation of food, air, water, stable ground, commercial materials and life-saving medicines. It quantifies human dependence on biodiversity at a huge $44 trillion of economic value generation or over half the world's GDP. But biodiversity loss also has a deeper cost for this range of life, encompassing all creatures great and small, and is the result of 4 - 5 billion years of evolution. Each year, nature painstakingly wove a brilliant web of life where each organism is meant to contribute something to another. By tearing this web, humans are wrecking the very point of our existence, one among many placed on a planet blessed with life, all its beings meant to support each other.
3. Many mitigations are possible. These include encouraging afforestation and conservation, minimising pollution and banning hunting. Also, as an expert emphasises, we need to be more aware of the magical world of biodiversity, where creatures communicate through haunting calls and lingering fragrance, brilliant colours to bioluminescence.
Mindfulness brings us closer to our fellow beings - and to the core of our own lives.
The word which is opposite in meaning to the word, 'wreck' in Para 2 is:

Question 5:
निर्देश निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को पढ़कर पूछे गए प्रश्नों के सही। सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर वाले विकल्प को चुनिए ।
गुरु-शिष्य परंपरा में शिष्य के साथ गुरु का नाम पहले आता है। यह अमुक गुरु का शिष्य है- ऐसा कहा जाता है। गुरु अपने एक-एक शब्द से शिष्य में अवतरित होता है। जो शिष्य पूरी तरह से अपने गुरू को समर्पित है, उसके जीवन में एक समय आता है, जब वह गुरू की आराधना और उपासना करते-करते गुरुमय हो जाता है। शिष्य की वृत्ति सद्गुरू में मिल जाती है। उनकी प्रत्येक चेष्टा में, हावभाव में, वाणी में गुरू का ही प्रतिबिंब नजर आता है। इतना ही नहीं, उसकी आकृति भी गुरू जैसी हो जाती है। कई की तो वाणी भी गुरु जैसी ही हो जाती है। वाणी, विचार, वृत्ति, वेशभूषा, सब में जब सद्गुरु अवतरित होते हैं तब यह नहीं पूछना पड़ता कि तुम्हारा गुरु कौन है? तब तो यह शिष्य को देखते ही पता चल जाता है । जब परमात्मा अवतरित होते हैं, तो पहले सुयोग्य माता-पिता की खोज करते हैं, उसी प्रकार सद्गुरू अवतरित होने के लिए होनहार शिष्य ढूँढ़ते हैं। गुरू अपने शिष्य से माँ से भी ज्यादा परंपरा के माध्यम से यह अविनाशी गुरुतत्व हमेशा शिष्य को प्रकाश देता रहता है।
गुरु- -शिष्य परंपरा में ।
