1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. 5*3=15

Antlers grow from permanent knoblike bones on a deer’s skull. Deer use their antlers chiefly to fight for males or for leadership of a herd. Among most species of deer, only the males have antlers, but both the male and female reindeer and caribou have antlers. Musk deer and Chinese water deer do not have antlers at all. Deer that live in mild or cold climates lose their antlers each winter. New ones begin to grow the next spring. Deer that live in tropical climates may lose their antler and grow new ones at other times of year. New antlers are soft and tender. Thin skin grows over the antlers as they develop. Short, fine hair in the skin makes it look like velvet. Full-grown antlers are hard and strong. The velvety skin dries up, and the deer rubs the skin off by scrapping its antlers against trees. The antlers fall of several months later. The size and shape of the deer’s antlers depend on the animal’s age and health. The first set grows when the deer is from one to two year old. On most deer the first antlers are short and straight. As deer gets older, their antlers grow larger and from intricate branches.

UNIT ONE : LOVE AND REMINISCENCE
ABOUT LOVE
ENGLISH | THE HERITAGE OF WORDS
Class : 12
Anton Chekhov

In "About Love" , three kinds of love experiences are suggested by Alyohin. The first one is the love affair between Nikanor and Pelageya. Their love is sensual, often violent. Though there is no understanding between them, sexual passion binds them. Their love is not bound by marital relation. The second love affair is between Alyohin and a girl when he was studying in the university. Though Alyohin loved her, she thought love as a way to earn money. This love affair can be seen as the ugliest where sex is exchanged with money. The third love affair between Alyohin and Anna Alexeyevna can be termed as unexpressed love or spiritual love. Their heart meet, but being trapped by middle class morality, their love remains unexpressed. They sacrifice their love for more good. Alyohin sacrifices his love because he thinks that it would bring disaster in the life of her children, mother and husband. Similarly, Alexeyevna does not express her love thinking that she wasn't young enough to live with him.

Q.N.1.Read the following passage and answer the questions below. [5*3=15]

An old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street to the great confusion of the traffic and putting herself in danger. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot passengers, but she replied, ‘I’m going to walk where I like. We’ve got liberty now.’ It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the foot passengers, to walk down the middle of the road it also entitled the cab-driver to drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal disorder. Everybody would be getting in every one else’s way and nobody would get anywhere.

Question:-

a) What had caused confusion on the road?

b) What was the old lady’s reason for walking on the road?

c) How was the liberty misused in the incident?

d) On what condition could the cab-driver drive on the pavement?

e) Why was the woman wrong in walking on the street?

About 2500 years ago in Egypt the wise men of the country had a problem that they were unable to solve. They wanted to know the height of a great pyramid. One man suggested that someone climb the pyramid and measure it. Somebody tried to do so, but the pyramid was tall and the sloping sides were slippery. While there wise men were trying to figure out how to climb the structure, somebody brought up another problem. “We still won’t know the actual height,” he said. “All that the workman could measure would be the length of the slope.”
