Answer the following in not more than two pages : 1. a) Describe the events which led to the imprisonment of the Cabuliwallah. OR b) Describe the problem of soil erosion and the measures suggested to check it, in the essay Physics of the Countryside Water. 2. a) Comment on the opening scene of the play Julius Caesar. OR b) Briefly describe the death of Brutus and Cassius. 3. Write a Precis of the following passage and suggest a suitable title. Health is indeed the greatest blessing that a man enjoys on earth. It stands on a higher level than wealth. What is wealth to one who is always ill ? Disease and illness give him no comfort and peace of mind. To possess wealth but to be unfit to enjoy it, is certainly a curse. Such a man would gladly give away his wealth and prefer to be a beggar if by that he could enjoy good health. Health, therefore is at the root of prosperity and success. A man may be intelligent, he may be endowed with uncommon powers and may have exceptional genius. But all these are useless unless he has good health. People with high ambitions and aspirations will see all their hopes destroyed if they are not fortunate to have good health. For, how can a person exercise his powers towards the realisation of his hopes if he is constantly in ill-health ? All people in this world are required to work. If this be natures plan, it should be the duty of all to see that this law is not violated to render this possible. It is necessary that we possess sound health so that we can have the power to work. If one enjoys good health it is certain that one will be generally cheerful. A sound mind is no less important than a sound body. It is the combination of these two that makes life more meaningful.
