Yours sincerely, Answer 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n How I Became Organised<\/strong><\/p>\n The dreaded day arrived, Sam was not prepared at all. He was excited that he will experience some freedom but he was a little nervous when he went to the hostel. He was not good in doing chores. He had his mom and dad to do everything for him. He spent his holidays frolicking as he decided to do ‘ arts and not engineering or medicine which needs a lot of work. Some of his friends were busy studying and being anxious about getting into the right college. OR<\/strong><\/p>\n Bon Voyage<\/strong><\/p>\n It was early January, the new year had begun with a blast and soon the Peters were off to a voyage on a cruise ship to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Did you immediately think that the family was off to Mauritius or other exotic islands ? Mr. Peter was of the opinion that India has incredible landscapes that need to be explored by all the Indians and hence the trip to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands started. Answer 5.<\/strong> Answer 6.<\/strong> Answer 7.<\/strong> SECTION-C<\/strong><\/p>\n Answer 8.<\/strong> OR<\/strong><\/p>\n (b)<\/strong> (i) The speaker is Mrs. Slater and the listener is her daughter Victoria. Answer 9.<\/strong> Answer 10.<\/strong> OR<\/strong><\/p>\n (b)<\/strong> Mark Anthony proves to be a great orator than Brutus by kindling the mob’s passion rather than reason and logic. He evokes basic passions such as pity and sympathy for Caesar among them. He proves that Caesar was not ambitious and ruthless as portrayed by Brutus and the other conspirators. He worked all his life for the welfare of the people rejecting the crown thrice and showed his love for his people. He uses the mob’s passion to flame over Brutus and his conspirators. He diverts their focus away from his true goals by proving that they were liars and murderers. He plays the role perfectly well which benefited him later.<\/p>\n Answer 11.<\/strong> OR<\/strong><\/p>\n (ii) Mr. Keesing was considered as a very strict teacher but he was not rigidly strict. He expected discipline and silence in his class while he was teaching, which is acceptable. We can see from Anne’s entries that she was talkative which disturbed Mr. Keesing. He punished her by giving her extra homework and asks her to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox.’ Anne responds by writing a convincing essay and continued to talk. He further asked her to write essays on ‘Quack, Quack, Quack’ and ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox.’ Anne takes it in her stride, takes help from a friend and writes convincingly essays that talking is a trait that is in her just as her mother making it a genetic characteristic for which she cannot be blamed. Mr. Keesing takes her point of view in a lighter vein and does not reprimand her in the class and even allows her to talk in the class. This was unexpected for Anne as she always thought Mr. Keesing to be very strict. He understands that it would be wrong in asking Anne to stop talking and give her punishments. He reads the poem that Anne wrote to the class and acknowledges it. From these instances we can see that Mr. Keesing can be fun- loving too and not as strict as Anne considers him to be.<\/p>\n (b)<\/strong> (i) Helen Keller (1880 -1968) was a great humanitarian who overcame the challenges of being blind and deaf. Keller’s education began on March 3,1887 when she met Anne Sullivan whom her parents hired to teach her. The relationship she formed with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, continued for over 50 years. With the help of Sullivan, by the time she was seven years old, Keller had learned to finger-spell words and use over 60 hands gestures to communicate her thoughts, ideas, wants and desires. She also learned to read braille and print letters in a block style. She read several classical works, including the Bible, Shakespeare’s Lamb’s Tales, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women among many others. By the time she was nine years old, she was speaking and reading lips.<\/p>\n Keller’s formal education began in 1888, when she enrolled in the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where she studied for four years. Some of the subjects she studied there were arithmetic, geography and French. She attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York and in 1896, she studied at The Cambridge School for Young Ladies to prepare for matriculation at Radcliffe College. She graduated from Radcliffe in 1904 and made history by becoming the first deaf and blind person to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree and also to be a graduate cum laude. While at Radcliffe, her teacher, friend and companion Anne Sullivan had interpreted lectures and course materials for her.<\/p>\n Keller was a lifelong learner and was a voracious reader of braille books. She continued learning about politics, philosophy, poetry, history, economics, German, Latin and French. Throughout her life, she received several honorary degrees. She became the first to receive one from Harvard University. In addition to Harvard, she received honorary degrees from India, Germany; Temple University, Witwatersrand and Johannesburg, South Africa and the Universities of Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\n OR<\/strong><\/p>\n (ii) In ‘The Story of My Life’ Helen Keller recounts her life before and after “the most important day in all my life” that being the day Annie Sullivan arrives. The book is an autobiographical account of Helen’s first twenty-two years in which Helen attempts to provide inspiration to those who find life’s struggles almost unbearable. Before Anne’s arrival and despite her frustrations, Helen describes Christmases as “a delight.” It is the “smells… and tidbits” that Helen enjoys the most rather than the actual event itself and Helen admits that she is never inspired to rise particularly early in the morning to receive presents.<\/p>\n Helen’s life changes dramatically after Anne Sullivan’s arrival. Helen talks about the family’s first Christmas with Miss Sullivan. Having learnt “language,” Helen can now enjoy the subtleties and “mystery” of Christmas. Now, it is Helen who lies awake at night and who wakes the family early in the morning on Christmas day and who delights in the discovery of presents everywhere. It is the canary that Anne gives her that makes her “cup of happiness overflow.” Therefore, even though Helen loved Christmas before she learnt to communicate effectively, how different it became after Anne entered her life.<\/p>\n We hope the CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 English Communicative Set 5 help you.

\nRead the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
\n1. Paint is a substance, usually a liquid, that is applied to surfaces as a protective coating or decoration. Opaque paints colour and completely hide the material under them. Translucent paints coat the material without hiding its characteristics.
\n2. Almost all solid materials can be painted. Paints are used as protection against rust, weathering and chemical corrosion. Brightly coloured paints are used as warnings, identifying, for example, pipes that are dangerously hot. Liquid paints have two main parts; a pigment and a vehicle. Pigments are finely ground powders that give the paint colour and opacity.
\n3. In addition, pigments may also affect the texture, water resistance, penetration and wearing characteristics of a paint. Pigments remain in solid form in a paint; they do not dissolve in the vehicle which is a liquid that act as a base for the pigment. This means the pigment is merely suspended in the vehicle. The vehicle usually consists of a binder and a solvent. The binder is the part of the vehicle that holds the paint film together and makes it adhere to a surface.
\n4. The solvent, also called thinner, is on the other hand a substance that reduces the consistency of paints so that the paints can be applied or removed easily. Solvents are usually volatile and evaporates completely leaving a solid film of pigment and binder on the surface. Turpentine, mineral spirits, solvent naphtha, grain alcohol and water are common paint solvents. Solid or powder paints differ from other kinds in that they contain no vehicle.
\n5. Until the late 19th century, pigments and binders had to be mixed by the painter. Ready-mixed paints were developed in the 1860s and gained wide acceptance in the 1880s. Since that time improvements in the quality of ready-mixed paints have been made continuously. By the mid-20th century, the development of synthetic resins and rubbers caused a sudden increase in the numbers and kinds of paints available. The synthetic-based paints often did the job faster, better and more easily than earlier paints. Among the many other types of synthetic-based paints were latex household paints for both interior and exterior use; acrylic automobile enamels; heat-resistant paints; fluorescent paints and powder paints.<\/p>\n

\nRead the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : [12]<\/strong>
\n1. Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animal’s daily needs. A dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. Furthermore, the owner must take responsibility for the safety of the dog and the safety of the people it comes into contact with. If the child forgets any of these duties and responsibilities or ignores any of the dog’s needs, the dog will suffer. This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on the phone or watch TV. This is true not only for the care of a dog, but also for the care of oneself, another person, or one’s job.
\n2.Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic. Empathy is the ability to put oneself in another person’s or in this case another creature’s situation and imagine that person’s or creature’s feelings or problems. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn how to interpret its behaviour. Is the dog frightened, aggressive or sick? The result of learning to read a dog’s behaviour is that the child develops empathy. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person.
\n3.Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good friend. A dog gives unconditional love to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference or neglect. The dog will wait patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A child soon realises that his dog will \u2019 always listen to him, will always be ready to play with him will always protect him, and will always forgive him. A child who has learned to be a good friend of his dog, will have learned to be good friend too.
\n4. These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last the child’s entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy and friendship that a child develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow \u2019 into a reliable, caring and mature adult.<\/p>\n
\n(i) How does having a dog make a child responsible ?
\n(ii) How does the child learn to prioritise the responsibility ?
\n(iii) How does the child learn empathy ?
\n(iv) How does the child learn to become a good friend ?
\n(v) Sum up the benefits of owning a dog for the child.<\/p>\n

\nNone of this affected Rohit for he was fairly intelligent and above all believed in enjoying life. Now > here he was in a hostel as he chose St. Joseph’s College far from home. It meant freedom but also meant doing your own chores and getting things done.
\nHe was not a fan of putting things in order and keep his clothes cleaned and ironed, as I said earlier, , it was done by his parents. The day he landed in the college hostel, he met his roommate Rohan who was a nice cheerful boy.
\nAs college started, Sam realised that unless he managed time he was going to be in a mess, as there ( were assignments and projects to be done. He enjoyed it but it was time consuming and with all that work, he often returned to a messy bed.
\nRohan’s side was clean and tidy and Sam wondered how he managed that. He geared himself up one day and decided to make changes, first in himself and then, the room and in all that he did. He found that it was so much better with organisation and he had enough time for fun too.<\/p>\n
\nThe family was excited to experience the voyage and the trip to the islands. The day finally arrived and family got abroad and were led to their luxury cabins. The kids Kenneth and Ashirah were thrilled to their own bunk beds with lights and comfy mattresses. The cabin was wonderful. The family settled and put their luggage away and were ready to go on deck. The children and the father got to the deck and soon the siren blew announcing the departure from the port. The mother soon started to experience sea sickness though it was the mildest swaying of the ship on the seas.
\nThe children enjoyed every bit of the cruise, the swimming pools, the library, the mini theatre where they watched their favourite animated movies. They made friends, relished the sea food, the sea breeze, the gaming arena, soap football and many more activities that kept them occupied for two and half days and soon they were at Port Blair, ready to alight and have more fun. Mrs. Peter was glad to be on land again.<\/p>\n

\n(a)<\/strong> Psycho-drive games are played as an interaction between the man who plays them and the computer with a virtual reality visor and glove that can bring about a change in what we see. Better still, the action can be controlled by our thoughts. In the story, Michael plays four psycho\u00acdrive games, one after the other. We are taken to the imaginary world of the ‘Wildwest’ and get to see the dusty towns, castles, dragons and dungeons. Sebastian plays the second Sheriff in ‘Wildwest’, the second knight in ‘Dragonquest’ a prisoner in ‘Jail-break’ and a victim in ‘Warzone’. The last game is the most interesting, as the actions of the two, Sebastian and Michael are more organised and in coordination with each other. There is a real thrill with the guns booming and the bombs exploding. In time, they make it to the waiting helicopter which soars into the sky. Both are unhurt. Michael gets his reward. His score touches 40,000,000 winning the jackpot. He cracks the game saving Sebastian this time. In the end, they both communicate in reality and become friends forever. Sebastian asks Michael to keep the games as a token of love and gratitude, moreover, he had earned them.<\/p>\n
\n(a)<\/strong> (i) Gestapo had the power and authority vested in them to treat the Jews in the most inhuman way possible. Anne makes entries in her diary stating that the Jews were taken to a big camp where they got almost nothing to eat and much less to drink as water was available only for one hour a day. Conditions were very hard with only one toilet and a sink for thousands of people. The heads of men and women were often shaved off. Mr. Alfred Dussel told the residents of the Secret Annexe that many Jews were taken to their dreadful fate. Every night, the grey green military vehicle cruised around the streets and knocked at every door asking if Jews were there. If found hiding or residing, they were taken away from that place. It was similar to the slave-hunting of the early days. The Jews they found were taunted, bullied and beaten until they dropped. They did not spare any one, be it babies, children, women, elderly, pregnant or sick. They were often huddled into the vehicles and filled beyond their capacities treated not at all like human beings. They were all supposed to be sent to their death.<\/p>\n
