Section 'A'
1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below
it:
Man has depended on plants ever since life began. The reasons are various-for food, shelter and clothing. The destruction of plants has been a cause of tremendous concern to him. Hence he tries to preserve plants from both man-made and natural calamities. He adopts various methods to overcome these calamities. To do so, scientists have also evolved the process of tissue culture, whereby a complete plant can be developed from just a part of the plant. This proved to be a boon. This technique involves a process in which small pieces of different parts of a plant body are grown on a nutritional media under completely sterile conditions. This concept dates back to 1878 when a German Botanist Vochting said that from a small plant piece, a whole plant could be generated. Later, Haberlandt in 1902 postulated that the cultivation of artificial embryos is possible depending on the nutritional media.

2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below
it:
Of man's earliest invention, we know very little. The first may have been the use of a stone to crack a nut. The next was possibly the use of a stick to strike an enemy. Once man found that stick and stones were useful, it was only a step
further to the making of a rude weapon by fastening a stone to the end of a stick.
Man used sticks and stones long before he dared to meddle with fire; for the early
man, like all wild creatures, dreaded the fire. Fire, of course, existed, for lightning
must sometimes have set the forests ablaze just as it does today, and in those
days, volcanoes were much more active than they now are. The forgotten hero
who first dared to tame fire to his own use was the greatest of early inventors.
Once man had tamed fire, he was master of all lower creatures.

We have laid down in our constitution that India is a secular state. This does not mean irreligion.
