D. PRACTICE PAPER—14, , Question 1, , (a) [The proverb, ‘When in Rome do as the Romans do’ means that while, visiting another country or a place, one should behave and act like the, people of that country or place.|, Sachin went to live with his uncle’s family for a year in Delhi to prepare for, the Medical Entrance Exam—since he belonged to a small town in Madhya, Pradesh, he found it quite difficult to adjust with his family—he did not, like their food and mannerisms—he rang up to his father, who advised, him ‘When in Rome do as the Romans do’—he followed his advice and, in no time got adjusted to his new surroundings., , (b) Last month I had to accompany my mother to a shopping mall to do, , shopping for my cousin’s wedding—I reached the DLF mall in Saket, Delhi, with my friend and had to wait for my mother, who had to come there, straight from her office— while | was waiting for my mother outside the, mall, | decided to visit the mall and wait inside for my mother—entered, the beautiful surroundings leading up to the grand entrance—approached, the transparent door—the doors automatically slid opened—me and my, friend entered and found ourselves in a cool, nice ambience—so many, shops in rows—the shops were tastefully decorated—a number of people, were loitering, about the place—there was a huge supermarket on the, ground floor—shelves after shelves were stocked with goods such as, groceries, vegetables and fruits, etc.—there were shops selling branded, clothes, footwear, bags on the first and the second floor—the third floor, had a huge food court where we took a cup of coffee and waited till my, mother came—it was a memorable experience., , , , (c) Got up late—missed bath—uniform not ironed—hurried breakfast—, incomplete homework—rush for bus—missed the bus—took an autorickshaw —late— punished — detention after school to aoamplete homework—, ridiculed by friends—walked back home—house locked—mother gone, out—sat at the entrance till late evening., , , , (d) For the View: Life is sacred—Capital punishment is nothing less than, , sanctioned murder — danger of people being wrongly accused — a mistaken, judgement cannot be rectified— most murderers are young, impulsive or, inexperienced —experienced people themselves do not commit murder—the, punishment is not a deterrent as many criminals commit suicide after the, , 60 TEACHERS’ HANDBOOK (TOTAL ENGLISH-IX), , crime—it is not an effective punishment because in spite of death penalty,, number of crimes has increased., , Against the View: The principle of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a, tooth” (A person who takes away another's life must pay with his own.)—it, is a deterrent to would-be murderers—it is cheaper than life-imprisonment, it gets rid of a criminal forever—in deserving cases, mercy petitions are, allowed —a life sentence is more cruel than a death sentence— the country has, a duty to protect its citizens rather than show mercy toa hardened criminal., , (e) Ragpickers form an important component of the system of waste management, in urban areas—young, and old, men and women, girls and boys and even, children form the community of ragpickers—the collection and segregation, of waste is carried out by the community together, though they collect, individually—after collecting and segregating the waste, they sell the, recyclable items to the kabadiwalas and the wet waste as cattle feed—these, ragpickers lead a miserable life— they live in slums, where they struggle for, basic amenities like sanitation, water and power supply—the children do, not get any education—while collecting and segregating waste, they come, in contact with hazardous materials and get several diseases—many in, the community take to drugs in order to cope with their living conditions, and the heinously difficult task of sorting through the mixed waste—the, government should set up a mechanism for collecting the waste and, segregating it using the services of ragpickers—they should be provided, gloves, masks, shoes, etc. to protect them from diseases and other hazards, and ensuring that they get a reasonable income to maintain themselves and, their families., , Scanned with CamScanner
