1. Our stomach produces gastric juice with hydrochloric acid. 

2. It helps us in digestion of food. 

3. But sometimes secretion of excess acid causes acidity or indigestion. 

4. It leaves a burning sensation and pain in the stomach. 

5. Antacids help us to get relief from acidity. 

6. Antacids contain bases, 

eg: 

aluminum hydroxide, milk of magnesia. 

7. The bases in the antacids neutralize gastric juice and give us relief. 

8. Thus bases do a great help to the persons suffering from acidity problems.

Choroid is the highly vascularized pigmented layer that nourishes all the eye layers.

Myopia (near sightedness): The affected person can see the nearby objects but not the distant objects. This condition may result due to an elongated eyeball or thickened lens; so that the image of distant object is formed in front of the yellow spot. This error can be corrected using concave lens that diverge the entering light rays and focuses it on the retina.

Hypermetropia (long sightedness): the affected person can see only the distant objects clearly but not the objects nearby. This condition results due to a shortened eyeball and thin lens; so the image of closest object is converged behind the retina. This defect can be overcome by using convex lens that converge the entering light rays on the retina.

Presbyopia: Due to aging, the lens loses elasticity and the power of accommodation. Convex lenses are used to correct this defect. Astigmatism is due to the rough (irregular) curvature of cornea or lens. Cylindrical glasses are used to correct this error.

Cataract: Due to the changes in nature of protein, the lens becomes opaque. It can be corrected by surgical procedures.

Correct Answer is : (c) Chorid

Life was better for the moon when the spacemen landed on it, and walked and scratched his back.

The comet did not answer the moon because it had already left the place to wag its tail round, Venus.

The poem ‘The comet and the moon’ is penned by Richard Edwards. It is a fictional conversation between a speeding comet and the moon. The Moon asks a speeding comet to stop and listen to his worries.

A comet was whishing past the moon’s pale lace. The comet asks the moon to tell it, why the moon looked so sulky as it made its way through space. The moon replied sadly that even the comet would sulk if it was doomed like it. The moon complains to the comet that it had to plod the same path bounded by the chains of gravity.

It envies the comet because it can freely flare and sizzle and roam like a rocket all over the space. The Moon is stuck in the orbit of the earth. The Moon recalls a time when a few spacemen from the earth landed on it to float had walk and scratch it back.

But after they left, the life of the Moon becomes too dull. Hence the Moon pleads with the comet to stay and talk to him. But before he could get an answer the comet was already gone fo wag its tail round the planet Venus. The Moon sadly trudged on, confined in its orbit round the earth.

The comet did not answer the moon’s request to stay and talk with him and quickly left the place to wag its tail round Venus.

The comet is free to flare and sizzle and roam like rockets, so the moon envied the comet.

The moon always walks laboriously in the same path in chains of gravity, so the moon thinks that he is doomed.

The comet whooshed past the moon’s pale face.

1. He looked sulky. 

2. To always trod the same path The figure of speech is personification.

When the comet saw the pale-faced moon, he wanted to know the reason for his sulky behavior.

The moon is stuck in the orbit of the Earth, so he thinks that he is doomed.

The statement is justified during the War of 1962 between India and China. India had to approach USA and UK for military assistance while the Soviet Union remained neutral during the conflict. Jawaharlal Nehru was criticised for his handling of the Chinese invasion and lack of military preparedness and a no-confidence motion was moved against his government in the Lok Sabha. The War also led to a split within the largest opposition party, CPI.

The statement is justified to the maximum extent to be proved during ‘Sino-Indian Conflict of 1962’ to dent India’s image at home and international level, India had to approach the Americans and the British for military assistance to tide over the issues. The Soviet Union remained neutral during the conflict: 

(i) All the occurring, created a sense of national humiliation but strengthened a spirit of nationalism also on the other hand. 

(ii) Pt. Nehru was also criticised for his naive assessment of Chinese intentions and lack of military preparedness. 

(iii) Political mood of the country began to change when no-confidence motion against Nehru moved in and debated in Lok-Sabha. 

(iv) ‘Sino-Indian Conflict’ split the Communist Party of India in 1964s split fraction formed communist party of India (CPI-M). 

(v) Besides, the war with China alerted Indian leadership to the volatile situation in the Northeast region. 

(vi) Apart from being isolated and extremely underdeveloped, this region posed the challenge of national integration in front of India.

It is Angstrom (Å).One angstrom is equal to 10^-10 m.

There are two tests for finding out the characteristics of soil: (1) pH (2) electrical conductivity tests. 

1. pH tests: The Danish scientist Sorensen put forth the concept of pH, based on the concentration of hydrogen ions. To determine the pH of soil, a mixture of water and soil in the proportion of 1 : 2 is taken and tested using several indicators. Accordingly, soil may be found to be one of the following types.

• Acidic soil – pH less than 6.5
• Neutral soil – pH 6.5 – 7.5
• Alkaline soil – pH higher than 7.5

2. By Electrical conductivity tests we come to know how many nutrients are present in the soil.

Correct answer is (C) Water expands on freezing

1. Air is useful as a medium for the transmission of sound. Density of the air changes with temperature. 

2. If the density of air increases, we can hear the sound more loud and clear.

1. Air is a mixture of gases. 

2. Air has mass and volume. 

3. It spreads in all directions. 

4. It exerts pressure. 

5. It is colourless.

The fertility of soil depends upon soil structure. So importance of good soil structure is as follows: 

(a) Roots get sufficient supply of oxygen, 

(b) Water drainage is good therefore the roots of plants grow well.

Seawater has many minerals dissolved in it as compared to rainwater. So due to more dissolved salts, density of seawater is more than that of rainwater.

1. The properties of the various ingredients of soil can be determined by soil testing. 

2. During soil testing, the soil is examined for colour, texture and the proportion of organic matter in it. 

3. Soil is tested to find out if there is a deficiency of any ingredients and to decide what measures should be taken to remove the deficiency. These information would enable the farmers to maintain the fertility of the soil.

Air is a mixture of very fine particles of some gases, dust, smoke and moisture. When rays of light fall on these minute particles, the particles spread the light in all the directions. This natural phenomenon is called scattering of light.

The fertility of the soil decreases.

1. Due to anomalous behaviour of water, when you cool water below 4°C, the volume of the water increases.

2. Therefore when the glass bottle completely filled with water is kept in a freezer, water expands on cooling and its volume increases so glass bottle breaks.

3. To avoid this, completely filled bottle is never kept in a freezer.

The uses of soil are as follows:

Plant conservation: To help plants grow. Water conservation: Soil holds water. As a result, by means of bunds and lakes, we can get water for use throughout the year.

Plasticity: 

(a) Soil can be given any required shape. This property of soil is called plasticity, 

(b) Because of its plasticity, we can use it to make articles of a variety of shapes, 

(c) These articles can be baked to make them hard, 

(d) Water storage earthen pots, earthen lamps, idols, bricks etc. are articles made from soil.

We feel the dampness or the humidity.
