English Questions: 25, 1 mark for correct answer, -0.25 mark for incorrect answer

The questions relate to the words or phrases underlined in the following passage. However, the entire passage may have to be read before attempting the questions.

An old spectre is haunting Delhi. Abandoned elsewhere in the world by a merciless history, it has taken refuge in a place where there is no Pope or Czar to overcome.

Communism, the unraveled lie of the last century, may have lost its original homelands in Russia and Eastern Europe. Doesn’t matter, there are always theorists in

thrall who can argue with such dialectical conviction about the inevitabilities of scientific error in practice. So, there is always a socialist afterlife beyond the

detritus of the Soviet empire and the fallen vassal states.

There are also revolutionaries like Prakash Karat armed with the book to guard against the possibility of Marx being exiled to the souvenir shop. Thank God, the

revolution of Karat is bound by the armchair. The world as he sees it is a world hostile to the revolutionary ideal, and where counter-revolutionary viruses are on

the offensive. He has identified them, and his diktats against them are the most decisive commandments in Indian politics today.

Read the following passage and answer the following 3 questions.

The National Program for Nutritional Support, popularly known as the midday meal scheme, was started in 1995. Cooked midday meals were to be introduced in

all government primary schools within two years. In the interim, state governments were permitted to distribute dry rations monthly to children instead,

until arrangements were made to provide cooked meals. But most state governments have been tardy in implementing the program. In several states, the midday meals

were discontinued in 1997 not because they distracted students and teachers from the task of learning, but actually because the food grains were diverted for

other uses and were revived only after the Supreme Court order.

Worldwide, several countries provide free school lunches. The program was first started in Japan in the late 1800’s by a private school to help the impoverished

children of the Yamagata prefecture. In 1938, Brazil launched a national school feeding program and in 1946, the United States passed the National School Lunch

Act to provide free midday meals because a number of draftees had failed physicals during World War II due to poor nutrition.

According to the Global School Feeding Report 2002 of the UN’s World Food Program (WFP), “school feeding program often double enrollment within a year and can

produce a 40 percent improvement in academic performance in just two years. Children who take part in such program stay in school longer. And the expense is

minimal.” In 2002 the WFP provided food for over 15 million school children in 57 countries.

Q 4. Why were midday meals discontinued in some states in 1997?

Option A There was not enough grains

B Children and teachers were continuously eating

C There was corruption and the meals were eaten by others

D Food grains were diverted elsewhere.

Q 5. What was the benefit of these midday meals according to the UN?
