Amory blaine inherite from his mother every trait, exept the stray inexpressible few, that made him worth while. His father, line an ineffectual, inarticulate man with a taste for byron and a habit of drowsing over the encyclopedia britannica, grew wealthy at thirty through the death of two elder brothers, successful chicago brokers, and in the first flush of feeling that the world was his, went to Bar harbor and met beatrice O ' hara. In consequence, stephen blaine handed down to posterity his height of just under six feet and his tendency to waver at crucial moments, these two abstractions appearing in his son amory. for many years he hovered in the background of his family's life, an unassertive figure with a face half-obliterated by lifeless, silky hair, continually occupied in taking care of his wife, continually harassed by the indea that he didn't and couldn't understander her. But Beartice blaine there was a woman early pictures taken on her fater's eastate at lake geneva, Wisconsin or in Rome at the sacrd heart convent _an educational extravagance that in her youth was only for the daughters of the exceptionally welthy showed the exquisite delicacy of her features, the consummate art and simplicity of her clothes. A brilliant education she had _ her youth passaed in renaissance glory, she was versed in the latest gossip of trhe older Roman families, known by name as a fabulously wealthy american girl to cardinal Vitori and Queen Margherita and more subtle celebrities that one must have had some culture even to have heard of. She learned in England to prefer whickey and soda to wine, and her small talk was broad ended in two senses during a winter in vienna. All in all beatrice O hara absorbed the sort of education that will be quite impossible ever again, a tutelage measured by the number of things and people one could be contemptuous of and charming about, a culture rich in all arts and traditions, barren of all ideas, in the last of those days when the great gardener clipped the inferior roses to produce one perfect bud. In her less important moments she returned to America, met stephen blaine and married him_ this almost entirely because she was a little bit weary, a little bit sad. Her only child was carried through a tiresome season and brought into the world on a spring day ininety _six. when amory was five he was already a delightful companion for her. He was an auburn-haired boy, with great, handsome eyes which he would grow up to in time, a facile imaginative maind and a taste for fancy dress. From his fourth to his tenth year he did the country with his mother in her fathers private car, from coronado, where f=his mother became so bord that she had nervous breakdown in a fashionable hotel down to Mexico city. where she took a mild, almost spidemic cosumption. this trouble pleased her, and later she made use of it as an intrinsic part of her atmosphere- especially after several astounding bracers. So while more or less fortunate little rich boys were defying governesses on the beach at newport, or being spanked or tutored or reqd to from " Do and Dare, " or " Frank on the Mississippi, " Amory was biting acquiescent bell -boys in the waldorf, outgrowing a natural repugnance to chamber music and symphonies, and deriving a highly special ized education froj his mother amory" " Yes, beatrice. " Such a quaint name for his mother, she encouraged it. dear, don't think of getting out of bed yet. I've always suspected that early rising in early life makes on nervous. Clothilde is having your breakfast brought up." " All right." I am feeling very old to day, amory, she would sigh, her face a rare coameo of pathos, her voice exquisityely modulated, her hands as facile as bernhardt's my nerves are on edge- on edge. We must leave this terrifying place to morrow and go searching for sunchine." Amory's penetrating gre3en eyes would look out through tangled hair at his m other even at this age he had no illusions about her. (Q) 9. As used in line 63, the word " did " most closely means |

1. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. When areas in and around Leh began to experiencewater shortages, life didn't grind to a halt. Why? Because Chewang Norphel, a retired civilengineer in the Jammu and Kashmir government came up with the idea of artificial glaciers.2. Ladakh, a cold desert at an altitude of 3,000-3,500 metres above sea level, has a low averageannual rainfall rate of 50mm. Glaciers have always been the only source of water. Agriculture is completely dependent on glacier melt unlike the rest of river/monsoon-fed India. But over the years with increasing effects of climate change, rainfall and snowfall patterns have been changing, resulting in severe shortage and drought situations. Given the severe winterconditions, the window for farming is usually limited to one harvest season. 3. It is located between the natural glacier above and the village below. The one closer to thevillage and lowest in altitude melts first, providing water during April/May, the crucial sowing season. Further layers of ice above melt with increasing temperature thus ensuring continuous supply to the fields. Thus, farmers have been able to manage two crops instead of one. It costsabout 1,50,000 and above to create one. 4. Fondly called the “glacier man”, Mr. Norphel has designed over 15 artificial glaciers in andaround Leh since 1987. In recognition of his pioneering effort, he was conferred the PadmaShri by President Pranab Mukherjee, in 2015. 5. There are few basic steps followed in creating the artificial glacier. 6. River or stream water at higher altitude is diverted to a shaded area of the hill, facing north,where the winter sun is blocked by a ridge or a mountain range. At the start of winter/November, the diverted water is made to flow onto sloping hill face through distribution channels. Stone embankments are built at regular intervals which impede the flow of water, making shallow pools and freeze, forming a cascade of ice along the slope. Ice formation continues for 3-4 months resulting in a large accumulation of ice which is referred to as an “artificial glacier”.

A Natural SyntheticIn 1970, Norman Borloug was awarded the Nobel Prize and credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. In what is now called the Green Revolution, Borlaug led the research and development over a two-decade span beginning inthe 1940's to dramatically increases agricultural production worldwide. He introduced the synthetic farming methods already common in the United Stated and Britain to a global market,focusing particularly on the developing world and secceeded in hiking food production and saving lives. Borlauf's intiative calls for celebration.Yet,it is these same agricultural techniques-those associated with conventional farming-that have a bad over the last twenty-five years, causing the organic food market to a sour to a whopping $63 billion by 2012. These laborsaving,high-yeilding techniques bgan in the late 18th centuary and were perfected for nearly two centuries before worry spread that they seriously harmed the soil and allowed toxic chemicals to enter the food supply. In the 1940's while Borloug was busy feeding the world's impoverished, Albert and Gabrielle Howard-both accomplished botanists-were developing organic agriculture. Organic farming is the process by which crops are raised usnig only natural methods to maintain soil fertility and control pests.In the current food market, GMO's or genetically modified organisms, turn noses faster than saturated fats and soda pop. Instead,organic farmers rely on crop rotation, green manure and biological pest control, while excluding synthetic fertilizers,pesticides and growth hormones. Organic agriculture is said to promote sustainability, openness, health and safety and it standard are closely regulated by the International Federation of organic Agriculture MOvements.The IFOAM bases the foundation of organic farming on the minimal use of oo-farm inputs and on management practices that restore,preserve and improve ecological harmony. While this strategy sounds more "conventional" and effortless that what is now coined conventional farming, organic agriculture is actually quite scientific.Ecologically,organic farming is designed to promote and enhance biodiversity, so it must combine scientific knowledge and technologies to stimulate naturally occuring biological processes. For instance, organic farming uses pyrethrin, a natural pesticide found in the chrysanthemum flower, to deter pests and potassium bicarbonate to control diseases and suppress unruly weeds. Furthermore,where conventional farming focuses on mass production of each individual crop,organic farming encourages polyculture or multiple crops being raised in the same space . To replace nutrients, organic farming relies on the natural breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms like mycorrhiza, which forms a symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots. To relenish nitrogen, green manure is created by leaving uprooted crop parts to wither on a feild and is then used as a cover crop to fix nitrogen into the soil.The science doesn't stop with the crops. On farms with livestock, the feild of agroecology-which includes organic agriculture-attempts to provide animals with natural living conditions and feed. Just like in plants,organic farming rejects any growth hormones or genetic engineering in animals. The USDA has specific regulations in regard to organic livestock,demanding that the animals recieves only orgaic feed and are pastured rather than caged.Despite the popularity of organic foods, many argue that the concerns over conventional farming are a luxury of the rich. Organic farming yeild far less than conventional methods, uses more land and more labour, and is, therefore, more expensive.When prices rise and population falls, it is the poor that suffer. With the United Nations reporting 870 million people worldwide suffering from chronic malnutrition, organic farming faces a tough arguement against the capital-intensive, prolific conventional means. Science has a lot more work to do before organic agricultural methods can feed the world. Q.The information in the graph gives the most direct evidence in support of a claim made in |

To replace nutrients, organic farming relies on the natural breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms like mycorrhiza, which forms a symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots. To relenish nitrogen, green manure is created by leaving uprooted crop parts to wither on a feild and is then used as a cover crop to fix nitrogen into the soil.The science doesn't stop with the crops. On farms with livestock, the feild of agroecology-which includes organic agriculture-attempts to provide animals with natural living conditions and feed. Just like in plants,organic farming rejects any growth hormones or genetic engineering in animals. The USDA has specific regulations in regard to organic livestock,demanding that the animals recieves only orgaic feed and are pastured rather than caged.Despite the popularity of organic foods, many argue that the concerns over conventional farming are a luxury of the rich. Organic farming yeild far less than conventional methods, uses more land and more labour, and is, therefore, more expensive.When prices rise and population falls, it is the poor that suffer.

A Natural SyntheticIn 1970, Norman Borloug was awarded the Nobel Prize and credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. In what is now called the Green Revolution, Borlaug led the research and development over a two-decade span beginning inthe 1940's to dramatically increases agricultural production worldwide. He introduced the synthetic farming methods already common in the United Stated and Britain to a global market,focusing particularly on the developing world and secceeded in hiking food production and saving lives. Borlauf's intiative calls for celebration.Yet,it is these same agricultural techniques-those associated with conventional farming-that have a bad over the last twenty-five years, causing the organic food market to a sour to a whopping $63 billion by 2012. These laborsaving,high-yeilding techniques bgan in the late 18th centuary and were perfected for nearly two centuries before worry spread that they seriously harmed the soil and allowed toxic chemicals to enter the food supply. In the 1940's while Borloug was busy feeding the world's impoverished, Albert and Gabrielle Howard-both accomplished botanists-were developing organic agriculture. Organic farming is the process by which crops are raised usnig only natural methods to maintain soil fertility and control pests.In the current food market, GMO's or genetically modified organisms, turn noses faster than saturated fats and soda pop.

Baking was a profitable profession in the old days in Goa. Prove it by giving examples from the text. |
| Answer» Solution :Baking was indeed a profitable profession in the old days in Goa. The people of Goa were used to the refreshing fragrance of the loaves of bread. On all occasions and CEREMONIES, they NEEDED them. Marriage gifts were meaningless without the sweet bread or the bol. No party was complete if bread was not served in it. The lady of the house must prepare sandwiches on the engagement ceremony of her daughter. CHRISTMAS and other festivals must have bolinhas during their celebrations. The presence of the BAKER.s furnace was absolutely necessary in EVERY Goan village. The baker usually collected his bills at the end of the month. The baker and his family never starved. They always looked happy and prosperous. Their plump physique was an open testimony to their happiness and prosperity. | |

Carolyn Wells takes liberties with language and employs humour to describe the wild animals. Give some examples of humorous descriptions in the poem. |
| Answer» Solution :It depends on the subject matter what style a poet adopts while writing a poem. The poem DESCRIBES wild animals and how to distinguish them. To avoid oversimplification and monotony, the poet uses .humour. as an effective weapon. The .humour. used in the poem is suggestive and mild. It is not biting or scathing in effect. If the Asian Lion "roars at you as you.re dyin". The Bengal Tiger is a .noble. wild beast that "greets you” when you are roaming round in the jungle. The unsparing Leopard will show no mercy and it will “do no good to roar with pain.” If you have any doubts, the bear will "give you just one more CARESS." The poet uses subtle humour when he SAYS: "Hyenas come with merry smiles, But if they weep they.re CROCODILES". | |

As used in line 31, the pharase fling in most closely means |
| Answer» Solution :Include could be a substitute for fling in since this sentence REFERS to HALEY's request that Mr. Shelby add the dmall boy to the deal. Hurl would incorrectly indicate the act of THROWING. Involve is too weak for this context. And it would be nonsensical to say that haey wanted Mr. shelby to relate the boy. | |
